4 MOTHERS SAD DEATH.
HnW the Lightning Killed Mrs.
Beals Of Shapleigh.
STRICKEN DOWN WITH HER BABY
In HER ARMS.

Mrs. Sw1ngerton Dangerously Shocked
Children's Faces Burned-Then the
House Burned Down,
There have been narrowing tales of the
disastrous effects of the terrible lightning
all over the state last Tuesday, but the most
heart-rending story of that storm, or of any
storm in the state for many years. comes
from Ross's Corner in Shapleigh. Tuesday
afternoon, Mrs. Joseph Beal, woman
about forty years old. was calling at a
neighbors, Mrs. Eugene Swingerton's, with
her three small children. She started to go
home, just before the storm, and had she
done SO
THIS SAD NARRATIVE
would not have to be related. But soon
after she had left the house. the rain came
down, the children were frightened and
cried and she returned with them. She had
but just entered the house and was seated
in the kitchen with the other family, while
the storm ragged,
WHEN THE AWFUL LIGHTNING
came on it's deadly mission.
There was binding flash, deafening
roar and Mrs. Beal, who was holding her
three-year-old child in her lap, fell for
ward upon the floor. on top of her
child, and the loving protecting mother had
become a ifeless body, all in one aw-
full second. There was not scratch
or scar upon her body. The
child's legs were burned but it was not
seriously injured. Mrs. Swingerton was also
struck and rendered unconscious. Up to
nine o'clock the next morning Wednesday,
SHE HAD NOT RECLAIMED CONSCIOUS
NESS.
All of the five or six children were more
or less stunned aud the faces of several
were badly burned.
But this is not all. The lightning set fire
to pile of rags. They were extinguished,
but in the terrible grief and excitement of
the time it was not done effectually, at ten
o'clock that night
THE RAGS BLAZED UP AGAIN,
set the house on fire and it was burned to
the ground.
1t was not large or valuable house, but
it was Mr.. Swingerton's all, and the loss
falls heavily upon him. 1t is understood
that there was no Insurance.
Mrs. Beals husband is, of course, pros
trated by the sudden and terrible death of
his wife. She was the mother of four or five
children.
That same storm was accompanied by very
large hail stones in North Hollis that broke
good deal of glass. In one house 100 panes
were broken. In Centre WATERFORD the hail
stones were shaped exactly like boys
spinning top. One man, who picked up
many of them, says that they were all
shaped like that, were as smooth as glass,
and came down to point. They were about
as large as the end of mans thumb.

Our Whole Confidence

in Hoods sarsaparilla, and which attracted
much attention hereabouts, was the cure of our
little son. Harry, Of consumption. Six years ago
while living at South Berwick, Maine, when
be was but three months old, he was seized
with an illness which developed into quick
consumption. Everything possible was done,
and the doctors, after consultation, said
they could notsave him. He was not expected
to live from day to day. MY sister had bottle
OF Hoods Sarsaparilla which only contained
few teaspoonfuls. In hopes that it might give
the boy little strength and possibly life, we

To the Editor of the Press:
Would you be kind enough to decide
between friend and myself this ques-
ton: If Mr.. A. should put Paris green
into his barrel of -four and leave it in
his closet, and Mr.. B. should go into his
house and steal the flour and eat it.

Mr.. A. held responsible by the law for
the poisoning of Mr.. b.?
IF Mr.. A. should put the -four away
thinking or suspecting that neighbor
might steal and use it, we think he
would be responsible for the poisoning
of that neighbor. If he simply made
the mixture and set it away without any
idea that anyone would steal it. he
would do very careless thing, but
would not necessarily be responsible for
