There was a slight cessation in the
humidity strike on humanity yesterday
afternoon, and the eagerly watched for
rain with which the event was celebrated
brought smiles to the faces of city peo-
pie as we'll as their country cousins
The long aud dry spell had literally
burned meadows and gardens and even
corn, which thrives best In hot, dry
weather, was showing signs Of the con
tinued scorching. The shower, although
not as heavy, as expected, did wonders,
however, and to day nature has assumed
new lease Of life
The rain was accompanied by sharp
lightning, and in several instances dam
age was done by the bolts
In this city two attempts were made
by the electric fluid to enter the power
house OF tho Wilmington City Railway
Company, at Delaware avenue aud Du
Pont street, but in bo.h instances the
lightning arresters did excellent work,
and the current was safely turned into
the ground.
Shortly before three o'clock a bolt
struck the chimney on the north end Of
the Friends School building at Fourth
and West streets, passing down the
wall into the ground. Masses Of brick
aud plaster we're thrown down, but no
one WAS injured, although a number of
young people were In the building at the
time The shock was felt for several
blocks around
At Earnhurst, the lightning struck
and killed George w. Rumsey colored,
sged Go years, employed by James
Edwards, who occupies farm owned by
Joseph Tatnall, of this city Rumsey,
