FLASH AFTER BENEDICT|ON lightning's Work in a Church at
 Pennington, N. J. ASCORE OF PEOPLE STRICKEN The Scene Was Thrilling in the Extreme-Sev- eral of the Injured People Are
 Expected to Die.

Pennington N. J.. Aug 1.-The words of fervent benediction had scarcely left the lips of Rev. MT. Bowman, in the Methodist church at Quakertown. sev- eral miles above here, today, when there came a blinding flash of lightning and terrific burst of thunder that almost wrecked the little building. The bolt en- tered the church and injured a score of people, several of them probably fatally. The list of those most seriously injured is as follows:
 James Hoff.
 Minnie Frace.
 Miss K Hoffman.
 Asa Bannon, the sexton.
 Mrs. Bowman, wife of the pastor.
 The bolt seemed to enter the edifice by the basement, shooting up through the floor and bursting with the force of a huge cannon. Members of the congrega- ton who had started to leave or were standing in groups sonverSing with each other were thrown into a wild panic, while at least twenty of them received injuries more or less severe. Amid the tumult of screaming women and crying children, the groanS of the injured there was a stampede of frightened horses under the sheds outside. A number of them broke their tether and ran away. wrecklng the carriages to which they were attached and tearing down sections of fencing.
 The parish, which adjoin the church, was converted into a hospital. All the clothing and the shoes of Sexton Ramon looked as though they had been run through a corn sheller, being literally cut to pieces. He is suffering greatly from the shock. Minnie Trace was thrown down with great violence. Her watch guard was melted and the time piece looks as though it had gone through furnace. It stopped at 12:10, a grim record of the time of the cruel visitant. Miss Traces life is despaired of. Miss Bowman, who stood near Miss Frace, was also thrown down by the shock. Her hat was torn from her head and steel ripped out of her corset. She is still unconscious from the shock.
 James Hoff got the full force of the giant electric shock, and he lies in n semi-conscious condition.
 Examination of the building after the excitement had subsided somewhat showed that the bolt had struck an outer wall, ran down the basement 60 feet along the joists and shot up through the floor like a huge bullet. The large bell in the tower was loosened from its hang ings, and only a slender strip of scant- ling kept 1t from crashing down upon the heads of scores of people at the door
