severe thunder storm which passed
over Snow Hill early last night light

in the dining-room on tine first floor.
They saw bright fash aud balls of
fire filling the air. and then knew
nothing further until they recovered
consciousness, just as Benjamin W.
Hearihway, who was passing. rang the
door bell 10 ascertain the damage 10

struck. Both the injured persons ars
suffering from the effects Of the stroke,
though their injuries are not serious.
The lightning struck the chimney,
knocked it OF even with the roof and
tore the shingles away. The rafters in
the attic were spliDtered so they are
fit for kindling wood. The current
passed down the flue into the rooms
below and gave Mr.. and Mrs. Hender-
son their close call for life. The cell

in numerous places by those bullet.like
holes which are becoming too familiar
to the residents of Worcester county.

BRYAN'S WILD TALK.


He Might study History With Profit and
Avoid Reckless Statements
Louisville csurier-Journal-
In his malignant efforts to array the poor
against the rich, young Mr.. Bryan toll
his hearers last Wednesday that if we
had big war in hand. We could not rely
ON the men who buy United States bonds
to fight our battles, but we must turn to
the common people. II he was few
years older, he would recollect ''the late
unpleasantness' we had in the United
States along in 1861 tsome people call il
the Civil War, and he might admit that
the United States was very thankful then
to the men who bought bonds, and that
the common people" who went as sol
diers would have Jared very III if the bond
syndicstes had not furnished the money
to feed and to clothe them. II he comes
across any of the late confederates land
there are some among his own supporters
they would inform him that the main
reason for the defeat OF the South was the
lack of bond syndicates willing to buy
confederate bonds at good prices and in
sufficient quantities. Three things are
needed in war: Money, and money, and
money!
But young Mr.. Bryan is ignorant of
another thing. which he would know if
he were little older. Both North and
South many of the richest men yolun-
| teered to fight for the cause which seemed
to them right. He might recollect the
Rhode Island regiment of ninety days
men. made up exclusively of rich men; for
the honor to march TO the defence OF
| Washington was actually sold 10 the high
/ est bidder. He would know that rich men
by the Thousand fell on the battle-fields
| from Big Bethel 10 the taking Of Rich
mond. We here in Kentucky recollect
how Colonel Curran Pope, one of our rich
est citizens, who. undoubtedly held United
States bonds, fell at the head of his regi'
ment at Perryville. and his lieutenant.
colonel and major also men Of wealth and
culture, fell with him. ali within few
hours. Albert Sidney Johnston, who fell
at Shiloh on the Confederate side. came
from one Of the richest Kentucky families
and left considerable estate to his chill
dren. Simon Bolivar Buckner, who LED
the first Kentucky troops on the Southern
side, is among the wealthiest men in the
State, and amply able TO subscribe to Q
national loan, If the government Should
need 1t, either TO meet foreign foe, or L
sustain its honor against the attacks o.
the Boy Orator, and his motley crowd
