A FINE RAIN.-The excessive heat
of Yesterday was broken between three
and four o'clock by refreshing rain.
About that time the heavens TO the
west and north assumed the slaty hue
which precedes an electric storm aud
the sound Of rolling thunder grew
nearer until the wind came out strong
from the northwest. sending up clouds
of dust and Swaying the trees until 1t
looked rs though this vicinity was about
to be visited by q tornado. The rain
soon followed, and for about half an
hour considerable water fell. After
dark there were other fine showers.
During the prevalence Of the first rain
there was some thunder and lightning.
One very. brilliant flash was attracted
By the wires of the electric railway on
Fairfax street. 1t followed the wire
until it reached a car filled with poop e
which was in front of the Office of the
company when it passed through the
car and into the ground in the shape
of ball of fire. As is always the case
when an electric car receives thun-
derbolt, no one was injured nor even
shocked During the storm the color
ed church being erected at the inter
section of the Leesburg pike and the
Braddock road, about three miles west
of this city, was blown down. The
roof had not been placed on the build
ing and the loss will not be serious.
The country all around the city for q
distance of ten miles got the benefit o.
the rain which had been much needed
and this morning vegetation gave al
evidence of having new life impaired
to it. The temperature to-day ha
been delightful.

AN UNUSUAL DEMAND.-Capt Web
ster, OF the police force, was appealed
to yesterday by colored individual of

compel one of the city physicians to at
tend his son who had fallen from
wagon while in this city and broken his
leg. Jackson saw several physicians,
each of whom informed him that the
cost for attendance upon his son would
be so. Jackson had an idea that mas
much as the accident happened in AL
exandria the city should furnish medi
cal attendance hence he applied to
Capt. Webster for a mandamus COM
pelling one of the corporation physic-
ians to proceed to the county and take
charge Of his sons case. The captain
told him it was about as much as
the city could do at present to furnish
doctors, medicine and collins to i'm
provilent colored people living here,
ard that the city had no intention Of
furnishing INDECENT colored people in
the county with such necessities.

rival at the beach or walked overheard
from the wharf. His body was recov-
cred yesterday and an inquest was held,
the verdict being accidental drowning.
The friends of the man were much in
censed because two steamers which
stopped at the beach yesterday refused
to bring his body to Washington and it
had to remain there till late in the
evening when the Geo. Leary returned.
