GRlP-STRlCKEN CREW,
The Lila b. Ferna1d's Men Were Subjected
to Violent Epidemic.

The fishing schooner Lila B. Fernald,
Captain James Ellsworth, which arrived at
this port Sunday and was packing out her
two hundred and fifty barrels of mackerel
at Fernald's, on Union wharf, yesterday,
has had an experience rather remarkable.
The schooner left Portland about the middle
of April with crew of sixteen men, for the
early south mackerel fishing. They got no
fish at first; and when the time came set sail
for the Cape shore. AS has been related
already in the PRESS the mackerel were
very plenty there and nearly all the vessels
got good hauls. The Fernald did we'll, but
she was greatly hampered by remarkable
epidemic of the grip that broke out among
the crew. Only two or three of the sixteen
escaped the distemper, and at times not
enough well men could be mustered to man
dory. to say nothing of fishing. The dis
temper manifested nearly all the painful
and alarming symptoms which characterized
it. Some were stricken SO that they could
not speak, others could not see and another
was made deaf. Several including the
captain were taken with violent fits of
vomiting, accompanied by bleeding from the
stomach. Captain Ellsworth is yet sick, and
has consulted physician since arriving
here. But he is better. and the crew are
nearly recovered.

Queer Antics of lightning at West.
brook Seminary and Diamond
Island.
Much Glass Broken in Deering Green
houses-Heavy Fall of Rain.

| Much Glass Broken in Deering Green
houses-Heavy Fall of Rain.
| A severe, and in some respects disastrous
| thunder and hail storm passed over this
city and region yesterday afternoon be-
| tween 2 and 8 o'clock.
| The hail stones were very large, some as
large as three quarters of an inch in
diameter falling in this city. From Peaks
| Island came reports that the diameter Of
| some of the hail stones was an inch. In
| Deering they were very large and did much
damage.
The freaks of the lightning, however,
were more than interesting. At Westbrook
Seminary predatory bolt dashed recklessly
about that ancient classic institution. Great.
ing great excitement and doing considerable
malicious mischief. Where the bolt first
struck is unknown. Apparently all at once,
the cupola on the seminary building, two
ehimneys of Hersey hall, and Goddard hall
were visited. The cupola of Seminary hall
was splintered some, but not greatly
damaged; and the remainder of the building
does not appear to have been visited. AT
Goddard hall, one of the chimneys was bad
~ knocked to pieces, and the brick and
debris, perhaps assisted by the shock of
electricity, burst open the chimney in one
of the ground floor recitation rooms, throw
ing bricks into the room notwithstanding the
class assembled there. In Goddard hall,
some distance away, Mrs. Connery, the
laundress, was engaged in washing. The
tightening came in some mysterious way
and struck her sufficiently to burn her arm
very badly. The instant all this was going
on a great ball of fire, apparently proceed
ing from one of the seminary buildings
moved towards the church, and when quite
near it exploded, with deafening cracking
sound and strong sulphurous smell. There
was, of course, great momentary alarm
among the pupils; but quiet was soon re-
stored.
The next freak of lightning in this region
is reported from Little Diamond Island,
where the cottage of Mr.. Henry p Larrabee
was struck. This cottage had rising from
its roof flag pole surmounted by small
eagle. The electricity struck the pole first,
going thence to the cottage. The action of
the electricity on the flag pole was remark
able. 1t cut off small piece entire, and
then devoted itself to tearing into bits the
remainder. The lightning then ran along
the ridge pole and down into the cottage 1t
seems to have done little damage in the
cottage, except to burst out one of the
lights of the window, where apparently, it
went out. The family were out at the time
excepting servant girl who was in the
kitchen. She was considerably scared; but
not hurt. The cottage was damaged about
twenty dollars worth.
In Deering the hail stones did much
damage to the green houses. breaking out
much glass. especially in Goddard's s,
Ramsay's and Billiards.. Some glass was
also broken in houses in the city.
The fall of water was very heavy, flooding
the streets for time.

PERSONAL.

Mr.. Gustave Krause, of Denver, Col.
who is in this city, says THAT his state
ais suffering from bad case of Govern
or Waite" He thinks it possible that
the governor may be renominated, but
in that event believes that he will be
defeated. Mr.. Krause looks for great
~ increased output of gold now that the
strike of the miners is settled, and is
inclined to think that the time since the
strike opened has been we'll employed in
looking after the old gold mines and in
prospecting for more. The agricultural
interests of Colorado are prospecting, and
he looks for rapid recovery of his state
from the effects of the recent business
depression in many lines.

A Trifie Obstinate


Conductor Sprague, of the Maine Cen
trail, had some di :. equity yesterday after
noon in convincing an aged French-Ca-
madam woman that she couldn't go to
Quebec by way of the Maine Central.
She wanted to know why not as long as
she was on the train, and when assured
that it was out of the question wanted
to be carried back to Portland. That
was not accepted by the conductor as
the proper solution of the difficulty.
who, in turn, suggested that she should
pay for passage to Danville Junction
and there take the Grand Trunk, over
which road she had ticket. She re-
fused to pay for transportation, and re-
luctantly left the train at the next sta.
