General Wilder discredits the story about

STRICKEN WHILE ~ CHURCH.
Twenty Persons Were PrOstra ed by a
Stroke of Lightning.

FLEMING, N. j., Aug 6.-The score
or more members of the Methodist
Church at Quakertown who were injured
Yesterday when the church was struck
by lightning, are still suffering from the
shock. The doctors who are attending
the injured have hopes of the recovery
of all except Miss Minnie Frace and
James Hoff. Miss Frace has remained
unconscious since she was carried from
the church.
DR.. Bowman had just pronounced the
benediction of the mornings service
when the bolt struck the belfry, running
around the edifce under the weather
boards, and down under the flooring.
The services having been all but con-
cluded, many persons were IN the vestl-
bule and aisles of the church. Besides
the six seriously injured, fourteen per-
SONS were manned and Scared. The hOu-
ses of the town were turned into emergen-
cy hospitals, and the victims are there
being cared for.
Sexton Bauman had his coat torn from
his back and into shreds, and one of his
shoes was ripped as by knife. Minnie
Frace was in her pew when the bolt
tore through the floor. Both shoes were
torn from her feet, the crown of her hat
was wrenched away, and her watch
chain was melted into liquid. James
Hoff was Frustrated in his pew, and most
of his clothing was literally torn from
his body.
Horses broke from their tie-posts out
side the church, and many of them ran
away. A veritable panic followed the
stroke. After the excitement had sub
sided, it was found that the six hundred
pound bell in the cupola was hanging al
most by thread, while fully one hun
dred persons were directly under it. The
church edifce is almost a wreck, as the
lightning penetrated from all sides.
