Famous Assembly 40.

NEW YORK, July 26-Now that 1t Is
given out in Knights of Labor circles that
Mr. Powderly has decided to give up the
office of general master workman OF the
Knights Of Labor, and to settle down to
the routine work OF an everyday lawyer,
for which he has been studying for some
time, and the practice Of which he prob
ably will begin in his home in Scranton,
Pa, there is great interest regarding his
successor as the head Of the order.

MCCaughey & Co.'s Flag
Pole Struck.
SEVERAL TREES SHATTERED
Flashes Of the Most Vivid Nature That
Have Been Seen This Season.

Shortly before IL o'clock this noon the
heavens In the Northwest presented a
blackened mass OF moving clouds that
travelled southwark with great rapidity.
The rain did not appear with much
volume, but the thunder roared with loud
peals, and the lightning was sharp and as
vivid as seen before this Summer.
Soon after the first clap, the wind blew
In heavy gusts and the st orm resembled
miniature cyclone.
Several telephone and fire alarm wires
were burned out and the changing OF the
alarm added to the scene.
The lightning rods on several houses In
the vicinity of Pearl and Garden streets
were struck.
The storm lasted about half hour and
pursued a course towards the Narragan-
sett Bay.
At the Telephone Exchange 1t was re-
ported that the only damage wa, the
burning out of number of lines. Men
were Immediately sent out repairing.
An attempt was made to telephone to
the electric light station, but the line was
burned out. The line connecting the
Office was all right and II was learned that
the alternator, very costly machine, was
burned out.
The flagstaff on the top of Mr.. Caughey
81 Co.'s house-furnishing establishment
was struck and demolished.
1t is now rumored that Mr.. McCaug hey,
In an enterprising frame of mind, made
arrangements with the elements for the
lighting advertisement. At all events Mr..
McCaughey is giving away souvenir
splinters from the flagstaff with each sale.
A house belonging to Frank Hornby on
Garden street was struck and the chim-
ney considerably damaged.
A large tree near st. Paul's Church was
also struck.
Lightning struck Conductor Smiths car
on the Lonsdale route and disabled the
car.
In Central Falls.
A severe thunder storm passed over this
village today noon, accompanied by the
most vivid lightning seen thus far this
Summer. The lighting struck the large
poplar tree, near the river, split 1t In
halves. The fire alarm was set ringing,
and several telephone wires burned out.
Man Killed
A man was struck by lightning on the
railroad near the slaughter houses and In
stantly killed.
As near as can be learned bis name is

Ions DALE.

Part way between Pawtucket and this
market garden. II is the property of a
man who is thorough. going joker. He
had tried many ways to keep the un-
regenerate from scaling his fence and
stealing his truck, but his success had not
been brilliant. Notice after notice which
had been prepared by him and lettered by
modern sign painters warned the passer-
by In good English that penalty would
attach to persons trespassing on that
particular section Of land ,-if caught.
Notice after notice was either knocked
down, cut down or pulled up. As each
succeeding notice followed the fate of II
predecessor the temper of the land owner
shortened. Finally he became desperate,
30 desperate that be laughed loud and
long. A bright idea had struck him dur
ing his desperation. He would erect a sign
that would fill the bill until the bill cried
for quarter,-a sign that would stay.
The sign or notice was, after the gen.
tleman had given hours OF study to the
works of Josh Billings and Petroleum V.
Nasby, ready to be posted. 1t was, and
Is, for 1t still stands, and promises to for
generations, a wonder. II discounts any
thing for photography and chirography
this side of the "Confedrit X roads," II
has served we'll the purpose OF its erec-
tion. People without business on the
land have kept off. They found 1t more
profitable and pleasurable to study the
sign.
Yesterday morning gentlemen, whose
voice and manner proclaimed him an
Englishman, halted before the curious
notice. Englishmen are popularity sup
posed to be Joke proof. This one wasn't,
however, and his amused expression and
bright comments showed very clearly
that he understood the situation.

Last evening merry party gathered In
Sarsfield Hall at 8 so'clock. They were the
employees of Dunneli's who work under
the supervision of Edward O'Brien, the
master machanic of the works.
About $3.50 o'clock James ii. Newman
assembled the platform and called the
meeting to order.
this time, having been brought from his
house by Isaac Gill.
Wonderingly he looked around the hall
and for quite while was at loss to
know what was the matter, so many OF
the faces he was accustomed to meet at his
daily labor were about him.
He was not given leave to ask any
questions, however, for Chairman New
man called upon William j. Martin to
say few words to the meeting.
Mr.. Martin complied with the orders OF
the presiding officer and, directing his
remarks to Mr.. O'Brien, complimented
him upon his safe return from the Worlds
Fair. He then descanted upon the good
feeling and fellowship existing between
the men and their superior and closed by
presenting to Mr.. OBrien an elegant
marble CLOCK on behalf OF his fellow-em-
ployes.
DJust about this time Mr.. O'Brien
seemed to "catch on" to the meaning Of
the gathering and although fully appre-
ciatipg the king compliment paid him he
nevertheless was obliged to content him
self with very short reply. The kind
ness of the greeting and the sudden and
unexpected manner In which 1t was done
unnerved him for the time being.
Refreshments were then served by those
In charge land a pleasant evening was
spent, the merry making lasting until
midnight.
Short addresses were made by number
of those present, including Bernard
keenan,, Isaac Gill, Michael Nolan, Ed
ward Duffy, Bernard McCaughey, Coun-
Gilman O'Brien and several others, and
nearly all present sang one or more songs.
The clock is a beautiful marble one, with
cathedral gong, and was procured from
the furnishing firm OF Bernard Nc
Caughey & Co.

An Alarm But no Fire.

At 4:55 yesterday afternoon an alarm
was rung In from box "a in Trinity Square
which brings out companies 1, and 8.
They got there in double quick time, but
there was no fire. Officer Reynolds who
pulled In the alarm said that some one
rushed out of Sawyer's hardware store
and said the cellar was on fire and he sent
in the alarm. Just as the first round was
rung the same person informed him the
fire was out. Some one had tipped over
lamp In the cellar which caused a little
blaze, but there was no need OF the de-
partment. However, the officer was
justified In sending In the alarm.
