In town the storm did no damage,
though many people felt certain that
the lightning had struck near them
several times. The heavy rainfall swept
distractions of all kinds into the gut
tors, carrying them to the sewer inlets,
where they blocked and caused the
water to overflow. At Centre aud Front
the street was sheet of water, while at
Centre and Main the water backed up
on Birkbeck's sidewalk and made pas
sage impossible for some time.

KILLED BY LIGHTNING.
Sandy Run Man Struck Dead by IA Bolt
During Last Nights Storm.

About 10 o'clock last night the North
Side was visited by a severe storm. One
man, Stanislaus Torbach, Sandy Ran
Hungarian, was instantly killed by the
lightning.
Torbach was SO years OF age and
boarded at the house of Frank Barusk.
Shortly before the storm began he went
to his room upstairs, whore he was
sitting when the rain commenced fall
ing. The Lightning flashes were darting
through the room in a menacing manner
md he drew the curtain and closed the
window Then he knelt and said his
evening prayers. When he concluded
he thought he heard the breaker whistle
blowing. He listened in1ntly for few
moments, but the storm raging outside
prevented him from satisfying himself
on that point.
TO learn if he was mistaken he raised
the curtain and threw up the window.
As he leaned out his head a terrific
crash broke forth from the heavens and
he fell back into the room-struck dead
by the bolt
The other inmates of the house rushed
to his room when they heard the heavy
fall. They could render him no help.
Life was extinct A large black spot
across his breast told how death had
visited him
None of the members of the Baruski
family nor any of the other boarders
felt the shock. Nor was the building
damaged in any manner The bolt left
no trace of its work but the one mark
on the unfortunate Tobach.
Arrangements were made this morn
ing for the funeral. He was member
of the Greek Catholic congregation and
VIII be buried in the cemetery near st.
Mary's church, Freeand, tomorrow.

EVENING sEssIoN-HoUsE.

Washington. D. O., January S--The evening session today was devoted under the rules to the consideration of private pension bills, but was rendered of no avail tonight by absenteeism. Upon the usual motion being made to go into committee of the whole, MT. Erdman (dem., Penn) suggested that by the order adopted by the house relating to the Pacific railroad refunding bill, nothing else could be con- sidered until 1t had been disposed of. He desired to offer an amendment to that bill but MT. Thomas (rep., Mich) raised the point of order that that could not be done. The speaker pro tenn, MT. Payne, sustained the point of order, from which ruling MT. Erdman appealed. The deci- sion of the chair was sustained by vote of 54 to 1.
 Mr. Erdman made the point of no quorum and the rest of the evening was occupied in proceedings under call of the house.
 At 10:30 o'clock the session expired by limitation under the rules and the house adjourned until tomorrow.

DIVINE MUSIC
Such as the Gods Delight to Hear Was the Festival at O'Brien's Last Night
 Matinee and Evening Today.

The entertainment at O'Brien's opera house last night was the most highly artistic event that has occurred in Bir- mingham this season. That it was not greeted ith an overhowing audience was a reflection upon the culture and re- finement of the people of this city
 The orchestra Is composed of eleven beautiful, refined and modest young wo- men, everyone of whom is a musical per- lection of personal attraction, each a star that added to the brilliancy of the cluster.
 The programme was encored repeated ly with deafening applause, each num- Der meeting with a responsive sentiment that broke forth at the conclusion of each rendition. The selections were suited to the taste of the most critically musical, as well as that class of music-loving peo- pie who do not appreciate the technique or instrumentation so delightful to all true musical artists.
 The soloists of the evening were:
 Miss Oda Rudolph, who excelled even the great Innis upon the trombine. Her skill was an exquisite blending of deli cate softness and entire mastery of the instrument
 audience with the flute. She held them spellbound until the last note died away and was enthusiastically encored.
 Miss Anna Miller is violin vfrtuosa second to none in America, and was ln- tensely appreciated. Any effort to criti- cize her effort would be gratuitous pre- sumption.
 Miss Anna Mead developed the beauti- ful harmonies of the harp in manner that captivated every one. No more finished performance on~this instrument has ever been heard here.
 The others are entitled to their full share of complimentary notice, but we have not their names before us This company of young ladies deserve more favorable patronage from the people of Birmingham than was given to them last night and we assure our readers that If they fail to hear these beautiful! musi- clans they will always regret the lost opportunity. There will be matinee this afternoon and an evening perform ance tonight An entire change of pro gramme both in respect to the numbers to be rendered and the soloists.
 The house should be packed from pit to dome at both performances.

MOST SGRAeEfHt
mia, Upon Editor Hurst-Promptly Called Down.

Washington. Jan. & The Second days discussion of the Pacific railroad refund- ing bill of the house of representatives developed much more interest from a popular point of view MT Johnson Gep. Cal.), in the course of speech supoprt- ing the bill, alluded to MT. w. R. Hearst, of the San Francisco Examiner and New York Journal, in most vituperative terms. He was answered by MT. Cooper (rep. Wis.), who characterized the incident as the most disgfacefulf ever known in the history of the congress.
 The bill was advocated by Messrs. Pat terson (dem. Tenn.) and Hepburn rep Ia.), and antagonized by Messrs. Harri- son (dem. Ala.), sBoatner (dem. La) Swanson (dem. Va,), Mccall (rep. Mass.) (only upon the rate of interest proposed by Messrs. Wheeler (deTn. sAla-) and Sha' froth and Bell (pop. Col).
 Tomorrow the bill will be under consid- eration for amendment, and several sub- stitues for it will be proposed.
 A resolution was agreed to, offered by Mir Turner fdem. Ga,), directing the at torney-general to print as an appendix tc his last report the correspondence in tht department of justice upon the great rail' road strike in Chicago in 1894
 The house, at o'clock, under the rules took a recess until o'clock, the evening session to be for the consideration o1 private pension bills.

AN IMPORTANT SUIT.

Kansas City, Jan. 8.--Joseph Boulanger, half-breed of Elgin, Kan, announced yesterday that he would immediately bring suit to recover forty acres of land in the heart of Kansas City now worth between $40,000,0o and $50,000, 900. The land was bought by the government in 1882 from Collise Montardeau, French trader, who was the grandfather of the present claimant. Boulanger claims that his grandfather being ignorant of legal forms, had never filed the patent and that the transfers of the property since then have, been invalid. 5N
