WHERE HE WAS INJURED.

He found that there was an abrasion
on the right temple an inch and hall
long and three eighths OF an inch wide :
there was q mark upon the breast SIS if
it had been burned, and the right hip
looked as if it had been peppered with
birdshOt. There was no distortion
about the face, however, or any other
marks upon the body. The eyes were
closed, but the pupils we're found to be
widely dilated. The body rapidly dis
colored, the blood settling very fast.
The lightning had apparently left the
body of the man after reaching the hiI
and passed to the ground through the
shovel, though the latter was uninjnr
ed.
The deceased leaves a wife, but NJ
children.

KILLED BY LIGHTNING.
A White Mans Sudden Death-NO One
Near Him-A Strange Happening
Employed by the City
Much Excitement.

Tolar G.. Christian. q white man
about 80 years of age, and one OF the
city's street hands, was struck by light
ming during the severe thunderstorm,
Thursday, June Is and instantly killed.
Christian was at work upon West
avenue, which is just opposite Rich
mond College and parallel with Frank
lin street, when at the very beginning
of the storm, and before more than a
fcw drops of rain had fallen, bolt OF
lightning struck him on the right tenn
pie, from which it glanced to the breast
and thence to the right hip.
At the time no one was in the held
through which the new street is being
run. and the only persons who witness
ed the lightning's work were some gen
tlemen returning from the base-bal
park, and who at the time were quite
a distance from the spot where Chris
tian met his death.
Richmond planet. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1883-1938, 1896-06-27
NO ONE SAW TIE FLASH.

Strange as it may seem. they did not
see the fash of lightning, nor notice
that there was an unusual clap OF thun
der. Indeed, they did realize that the
man had been struck until they were
Immediately opposite him, and saw
that he was PROSTATE upon the ground
Then they went to the spot, and, upor
ascertaining the truth, telephOned foi
the ambulance.
DR.. Taylor had the body removed x
the residence of the deceased, No. 40
west Broad street, where he made
careful examination of the marks IN
fiicted by the lightning's stroke.

Closed Yesterday.

The Season for Catching Trout
Closed Yesterday.
Yesterday brought TO close the angling
season of 1896, that is so far as catching
trout in fresh water streams is concerned.
The law provides, however, for a little
sport for the lovers of the angle during
the winter months. Steelheads may be
taken with rod and line in tidewaters, and
from late intelligence received by John
Butler of Sutter street, the bar at the
mouth of Russian River is now open and
a good run of fish up the river is reported.
Should heavy rainstorm remain off for
some time anglers will flock to Duncans
Mills which place is the headquarters of
the fraternity.
Charley Green, the veteran angler, has
fitted up rusticocottage within closeprox-
unity of the river, where he intends to
locate during the winter. Sir Charles is at
present prospecting for new arrivals from
old ocean, and letter to his friend, John
Ferguson, is daily expected.
The friends of Ed Sullivan will be
pleased to learn that the Standard Oil
Company has appointed him manager at
Los Angeles. Mr.. Sullivan is prom line MT
member of the San Francisco Rod and
Gun Club, and last evening he was ten
dered banquet by some of his near
friends at John Bergez's Rotisserie.
Although Eds smiling face will be missed
at future banquets of the club he will carry
with him to the land of oranges and oil
the very best wishes OF the angling fra
ternity for his future welfare and success.
A letter from Sonoma states that small
fish fresh from the ocean have made their

mind 1t resolves itself down 10 this: that to
bring that talent out, practice-good, hard,
regular practice-muSt be INDUCED in two or
three times a week.
That some suitable ground in this City
should be secured to enable this to be carried
out is nv idea. When, and only when, this is
done can we expect to see a.team of bile,
fearless cricketers array themselves With any
chance OF success against the seasoned yeter-
ans OF the East or Australia. This was amply
proven in the late match against the Austral-
ian eleven, when our batting fell entirely to
pieces, ana although minus Heartfelt, Jack
son, Richardson, Reynolds Peel or j. G.. Rob-
ertson certainly did not disclose anything like
its true form.
The way, however, the two Bohemian trun-
dlers disposed OF the celebrated eleven no
doubt was unforeseen surprise to the spec
tators aEda matter for congratula lation among
the team. who fully expected at least one good

points OF the ~ame did not escape my notice

them to their notice, AS likewise of any inten-
tion to make needless excusesf for our failure

Its Fame Due to Reports Of Living
stone, Stanley, Hooker end

HISTORY OF A 1R0PiC WONDER.
THE SOURCE OF AFRICAN STRENGTH
UTILIZED BY ENTERpRIsIHG
AMERICANS.

~ Ot all the people who
daily stick the two
~ cent postage stamp on
~ letters, probably not
Il one in twenty can tell
you whose face is on
the stamp. They have not noticed. But
they know the red pyramid. 1t is con-
spicuous and omnipresent Therefore
every body sees it and asks the meaning
of it.
In crowGed hotels, on the bankers desk
in the merchants office, in the hauats OF
bicyclists, in army tents on the most dis
tant outposts, in colleges where young
men cultivate both mind and muscle, in
the studios of painters, the dusty dens OF
lawyers, the book-lined retreats OF preach
ers, wherever athletes are training, IN
schoolrooms, in homes and on board ships
at sea-your eyes are sure TO fall upon the
red pyramid.
For many years African travellers and
explorers, Including Livingstone, Barth,
Stanley, Hooker, Binger and others, have
reported the existence there OF nut, the
chewing of which enabled the natives 10
perform feats of endurance and strength
wholly impossible withoutit 1t was said
to be Iife-renewing agent OF immense
potency, yet harmless as bread-the only
stimulant therefore known without reac-
ton or any bad effect.
These reports proving true, many at
tGmptS were maze, especially QuTl!lR tIlo
past twenty-five years, to furnish products
of this nut which would be to civilization
what the nut itself was, to the natives.
The need of this arose from the fact that
the nut quickly decomp posed when taken
from the tree, and could not therefore be
marketed III foreign countries.
These attempts were all failures until
the Brunswick Pharmacal Company or 81
William street, New York, solved the
problem and gave to- the public their
Kolaira preparations.
The chief of these, Vino-Kolafra, con-
tains ali the properties of the Sterculia
nut. As a. stimulant and tonic it IS be-
yond com parison. 1t braces and inyigor-
ates body and mind, doing no harm what
ever to either. 1t revitalizes the strong
and lifts invalids and the naturally weak
up to higher level. 1t has none of the
reactionary qualities of alcoholic stimu-
1ants. No habit follows the use of Vino
Kolafra. 1t is now almosr universally
employed by athletes and invallds, and
the first case of any but beneficial results
has yet to be reported.
Natures blessings are mostly mixed, but
onca IN a weary while she presents us with
an all-rouud good thine-a clean, straight
benisons without an ''if,'' an and or a
"but." And Vino-kolafra seems to be one
of these golden gifts.
On the la bells and wrappers Of this prep
aration is the Red Pyramid. 1t is trade
mark, the symbol of the genuine, sug-
gestien of Africa and the sign of reality,
solidity and strength.
