TRACK AND STABLE.

Dwyer's horse, Harry Reed, was given q
dash at Gravesend on Wednesday, and is
said to have shown renlarka bly, fast work.
This was the first speedy turn the noted
sprinter has received since his return from
England, and all connected with him. were
highly pleased.
The ignominious beating that Right Royal
gave the famous Western crack, Ben Brush,
at Sheepshead, seems to have put damper
on all of the turfmen from his section. Brush
has been rated by many of them a better
than Handspring, Hastings, Applegate, or
any of the rest of the Eastern two-year oIds.
Eastern horsemen seem to luok at his defeat
less seriously than do the Westerners. They
say that the form shown by Brush in this
race was so bad that it cannot be taken as
a line on his real merit, and that he will
yet show himself to be great colt even
among the best of them.
As many believed he would, Robert ].
turned the tables on his famous rival Joe
Patchen. yesterday, and beat him handily.
The little gelding went the three heats
in FOG 1-2, 2:04 1-2 and 2:O4 3-4. The
second heat of this race makes a new track
record for Fleetwood.

FIRE RESISTING COMPOUND.
Wood Treated With the Process
Could Not Be Made to Burn

WOOD treated with the Process
Could Not Be Made to Burn.
A successful test was made yesterday aft
ernono of the new electric fireproof COM
pound, which, when injected into wood
il is claimed, renders 1t fire resisting, and
which has recently been adopted by order
of the Secretary of the Navy in the construc-
ton of the war vessels of the government.
The Djec; of yesterdays experiments
was TO determine the value OF the compound
when applied 10 building work.
The test was conducted under the super
vision of Howard Constable, brother of
the building superintendent Mr.. Consta-
Bile had caused TO be erected In the open Ice
bounded by Broadway, Fifty-eighth and
Futy-ninth streets two model wooden stair
ways, inclosed and winding In their course
like those of the ordinary tenement. These
stairways were built so that their wooden
frames or houses were in close Juxtaposi-
ton The frames were ten feet high by six
broad and about six feet in depth.
The stairways were in all particulars exc
actly similar, each having strings, treadsy
risers. lathing underneath, wainscot, bal
listers and rail- Each frame was provided
with door, attached to the side with heavy
iron hinges. The stairs were covered with
mating and the handsome ash balusters
were highly polished.
The only difference between the stair
ways was that one was treated with the
electric fire-resisting compou nd, while
the other was not. The test consisted in
building fires under each, in much the same
way as the recently detected fire bugs"
proceeded. The same quantity of shavings
and kindling wood was placed under both
stairways, and then the structure was satu
rated with kerosene oil.
The untreated building blazed up in a
wind, setting as it did from the west. blew
this flame over upon the adjoining struct-
ure, which had been treated with the new
compound. The bonfire under the stairway
Of the latter blazed away cheerfully, but
the wood did not ignite. In fifteen min
uteS the untreated structure was mass of
live coal, while the other was simply car
BOMBED under the fierce heat to which it
had been subjected in the close contact with
the roaring furnace at its side.
The Secretary of the Navy, upon the rec
ommendation OF the board of naval engi-
neers and constructors of the United States,
ordered on July 24 that all war vessels
built for the Government in the future should
be constructed as to the wood used of ma
terlals which had been treated with this
fireproof compound. Existing war vessels
are to be remodeled so as to conform to, this
regulation--New York Herald.

LIGHTNING'S FREAKS .
Struck the Steeple Of the Greek
Catholic Church,
TELEGRAPH WIRES BURNED.
A Woman Rendered Unconscious For
Nearly Three Hours--Thought She
Had Been struck by the
Death Dispenser.

The lightning that accompanied the
storm Saturday afternoon INDUCED in
pranks in town that made timid people
very uneasy.
One bolt struck the steeple of the Greek
Catholic church. 1t entered the cupola
and was cut off by an iron bar. The dam
age was not serious.
The lightning also struck the telegraph
wires at the Lehigh Valley depot and
burned out all the wires in the place. They
were replaced this morning by a large
gang of line men.
After the storm some excitement was
caused by a report that a woman had been
struck and killed by the lightning. The
supposed victim was found at her home on
West Huckleberry alley. She was Mrs.
Laura Haines, wife of William Haines,
and when seen was confined to her bed,
suffering from shock. She was conscious,
however.
Mrs. Haines was engaged in washing
window sashes in the yard at the rear of
her house when the storm arose. Just as
she assembled the steps leading to the house
and handed her husband a window sash
she heard a frightful noise and as she
turned her head to look behind her, she
says, innumerableballs of fire seemed to
hover above her and one fell and struck
her on the back. Mrs. Haines says she
felt herself sink gradually to the floor and
she tried to catch hold of a door to keep
from falling, but was unable to do so and
fell unconscious. She remained in that
condition for two hours and a half. Mr..
Haines confirms his wife's story
with the exception that he says
she tried to catch hold of a
a table, and not a door when she was
falling. Mrs. Haines says her body was
numb for several hours after she recovered
her senses and that the part of her back
where she supposed one of the balls of fire
struck her burned terribly.
1t is not believed Mrs. Haiues was
struck. Lightning always leaves a mark
on anything it strikes and there is no
mark on her back, Mrs. Haine's residence
is near the Greek Catholic church and it is
thought she suffered from shock when
the steeple Of the church was struck.
