Biddeford. September 27.-It is under

in York county are anxious for the nomi-
nation of William A. Roberts of Bidde-
ford as candidate to head the ticket. His
popularity in his party in Cumberland

seems to be to nominate a candidate who

speaker, would fill the bill He is a
prominent business man, president of

lieyed here that Mr.. Rober is has not yet

A RECORD BREAKER.
In York County Storm Was the
Liveliest Ever Known.
Strange to Say Nobody Was Hurt-Several
Places We're Struck-People Badly
Frightened--Telegraph Communication
Cut Off.

Biddeford, September 27.-Last night s
storm broke all records for electrical dis
turbances in this vicinity. 1t was not only
more widely destructive in its effects, but
it lasted longer in it's severity and ap-
peared to extend over a larger area than
any electrical storm that the Oldest
weather sharp, so far as reported, has
been able to recall. And perhaps the
most remarkable feature of the disturb
ance was that while the lightning was
frightful, incessant and central over the
most thickly settled part Of the two cities
it played It's careless pranks about scores
of the more exposed points, and yet did
little damage to property, and life and
limb escaped unscathed.
In this city the Second Congregational
church, and Christ church on Bacon
street were the worst sufferers from the
lightning. Both of them were struck
about the spires and considerably
damaged on the outside. The lightning
did not enter the inside of either church
Scores of persons were knocked down
by the heaviest discharge, and some were
rendered insensible, but no one was hurt
seriously. On the street. about the stores
and in households all over the city the
storm at it's height caused the utmost
terror. and the people were few indeed
who were not willing to admit that they
were thoroughly frightened.
In the mills, where the roll OF thunder
is usually indistinguishable, the noise OF
last nights bombardment could be plain
ly neard and once or twice just before the
speed smut down the lightning appeared
to play about the machines. In several
departments, the operatives left their
looms and frames and huddled together
in terror in the middle of the rooms,
while electric flashes emanated from
every point of the machines.
At the telephone office, at the electric
power station, and at the telephone
offices, the display of electrical energy
was frightful. Instruments and wires
were rendered useless, and at the power
station some little damage was caused.
At the telephone office, blue flames played
about the switch board and along the
floor and the operators were obliged to
leave the room during the heaviest part
of the storm. An jncessant crashing like
the explosion of barrels OF snap crackers
ACCOMPANIED the click of the instruments
at the telegraph offices and the play of
sparks over the switch board was fright
full in the extreme.
The Western Union lines suffered most
After eight o'clock communication was
entirely cut off with Portland and Boston
and the operators said they had no
wires all night.
