LIGHTNING HIT THE IS INCH GUN
The Gun Rang Like Great Bell in the
Night at Governors Island.

New York, July 3O.-Eyery thunder storm
that visits this locality seems 10 take par
tietlar aim at Governors island. Owing to
its Isolated position in the nay it presents a
fine mark for the heavy artillery of tho
skies, and SO often does the aightning strike
there that the soldiers have come to regard
it as the regular thing, and upon I he arrival
of a thunderbolt merely remark: Another
bulls eye. Try it again.
early In June moot urnal thunder storm
came this way, and flash of lightning
struck the Governors Island fiagpole, filling
the air with splinters for yards around. So
great was the conclusion that the two .red
lights on the oldfort, nearly 800 yards away,
were extlnguished, greatly to the disgust of
the sentry, who had to see that they were
lighted again. sos
rev nights ago the soldiers were treated
to a surprise and something of scare in
the thunderbolt line. A shaft of electricity
like a.gigantic bayonet of fame split the
dafkness, seeming to- strike on the western
SIDE OF the parapet. A deafening, shatter-
ing CRASH OF thunder shook the island like
an earthquake, and mingled with it, as loud
as the crash Itself, was a resonant metallic
souno such as no man in the place had
ever heard before. Even after the thunder
had died away that sound went ringing and
ringing through the storm, making the air
vibrant as with the tones of thousand
deep-toned bells. The passengers on an exr
cursion steamer returning late heard it with
wonder, and it was heard as far as the Bat
terry. despite the cataract of rain that was
pouring down. No one on Governors
Island could furnish a solution to the
problem what the sound was until in the
morning one of the soldiers found a queer
looking long mark on the big l5-inch gun
| that stands on the western parapet of the
fort. The thunder bolt had struck the gun
and rung it like a huge bell.

THE FIELD OF SPORTS
We Won Tiresome Game Yesterday
Afternoon.

Brockton Was Very Much Worse Then
Before the Recent Changes-They Hit
Dauiels. For Only. Three Hits-We
Lined Out Seventeen With Total of
Twenty.
The features of the game yesterday were
our heavy hitting and Brockton's weak hit
ting and poor fielding. That's about all
there is to it. We won the game by a
score of IA to 1, and at no time did We work
hard In fact sometimes it might have been
though by some of the audience that we
didn't work hard at all. But then there was
no need of it.
Garry and Slater led off with two Dagger
apiece, and after that our hits and their
errors piled up the scores for US.
Tom OBJ rien played a fine game, as he
always does, but only once couldghe get a
clean whack at Daniels curves. Then 1t
was timely, for his two-bagger. brought In
their one run, Mccullough having reached
first on Slater's muff of his pop fly, and
taken second and third ON sacrifices.
O'Brion's right hand catch of Willis's wild
throw was one of the finest catches of the
season. He could just reach the ball and
keep his foot on the bag.
Casey hurt his ankle in the third, stealing
second and Dolan went into right, MADDEN
taking left. In the eighth, Dolan lifted the
ball over the right field fence as easily as
Garry cato hes fly. He was applauded all
the way around the base.
Charlie Smith played splendid game de
batted as well as he f1elded, which is saying
good deal Three hits, with total OF
four, and seven chances without an error Is
very good indeed His two Dagger hit the
tree in right field and bounded back. 1t
would have been a homer but for the tree.
Harry Smith played just as good a game.
He gritted his teeth and lined out three hits
in succession, and he gathered in all OF
his eight chances.
In fact the two Smiths are as good men
as there are in the league.
Madden was the only man who got no hit,
and he and Burns the only ones VINO got
no runs, though it looked very much as II
the latter was not touched at the home plate
when Umpire Long said that he was. Other
wise the umpiring was very satisfactory

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications as they cannot reach the
diseased portion of the ear. There is only one
way to cure deafness, and that is by constitl-
famed condition of the mucous lining of the
Eustachian Tube When this tube is infiamed
you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hear
ing, and when it is entirely closed, Deafness is
the result. and unless the Inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to its normal

nine cases out OF ten are caused by catarrh,
which is nothing but an inf1amed condition of
the mucous surface.

A Defiant Witness.

Washington, July 30.-The sugar investi-
eating committee spent its session today in
trying to,make Mr.. Seymour senior partner
of the New York stock broking firm of
Seymour Bros. and Young, answer
questions. He had previously declined to
tell the committee whether any Senators
had invested in sugar stock through his
firm, and was given time to consult counsel.
He appeared today with Treadway Cleve-
land of New York, as his attorney and, on
the latter's advice, persisted in his refusal.
It is probable his name will sbe presented to
the Vice President for certification to the
district attorney for prosecution under the
criminal statute covering such cases.
