 day Morning.

 He was on First avenue and Tenth street and had just sent in his report It was during the heaviest downpour of rain and while the wind and flashes of lightning came from the heavy laden clouds.
 After turning in his report Sergeant Donelson closed the door and was in the act of removing his key when blind ing flash dazzled him and struck the wires. The current ran through his right arm and down through his right leg. He was thrown about fifteen feet away, but not seriously injured
 The muscles of his arm and calf of the leg and his heel are very sore. It was a very narrow escape and Sergeant Don olson says that he Is very thankful that he got off so lightly.

shr.ting out the Sea.

Along the north JcraoJ coast from Long Branch to Asbqry Park the coast is formed of bluffs and high ground, and walls that will offer direct resistance to the waves must bo constructed to protect them from the waves. These tluffs arc being washed away rapidly whero not protected by solno artificial device, and the sand is carried back into tho sea, where sand bars arc formed with it. Many years ago when the Jersey seaside resorts first became promi- nent efforts wero n1ado to protect this shore with hcavy'tiInher bulkhcads. But each recurring winter these massive tim bers were washed away and a good slico of tho bluffs was ieyelcd. No matter how heavy and strong this sort of protection is made, tho sea is pretty srre to batter it down in time, and tho work must be re- peated. For 15 years now property owners have wasted their money in building lnale- shift timber walls to protect their land from tho oceun along many parts of our coast. The same amount of money put in strong waiisof masonry and concrete would yield permanent results thet would enduro for half a century, and in ti,.1e tsi5 must be tho outcome of tho present. abortive at- teInpts to keep hack tho sea.
 Besides wooden walls numerous jetties run ouD HUG IiO oGpai1 tO bEe6iA bnS lOrCu of the current, end in this way tho damage to tho bluffs is somewhat lessenod.

RELIC OF THE BOOM.
Old West Side Railroad Long Years
Idle is Torn Up.

Last evening about o'clock a force
Of go workmen and eight wagons COM
menced tearing up the tracks of the
Belt Line railway which has a terminus
at Sixth street. opposite Auburndale.
This is the old west side circle line to
Martins hill.
Men with crowbars, spike puIIers,
pickaxes and shovels swoOped down on
the old abandoned railway and demoI-
ished it.
Residents in that vicinity were sur
prised to hear the ringing of the tools
against the steel rails. The men worked
rapidly and the old rails were jerked
loose and hauled away, ties dug out
and loaded into wagons, and the mer-
ry work of destruction went on unhin-
dered.
The workmen were busy until near
ly midnight. The Topeka Belt Line is
no more. 1t vanished in a single night
and some peoples money is also gone.
Who it was that ordered the rails taken
up is not fully known, but it is sup
posed that the farmers Loan and Trust
first mortgage on the line had the
work done. A few days ago an eastern
man was in teh city to make offers for
the iron rails in the Topeka Belt Line
and the West Side Circle railways, also
the rolling stock. It is probable that he
made the purchase and that last nights
sudden tearing up of a railway line
which never paid and which was of but
small convenience, was by his orders.
AS nobody wanted to- stop him and eV-
erybody is glad the old thing is gone,
there doesn't seem to have been any
cause for clandestine night work.

GRACE LEASE HURT.
Mrs. Mary E.Lease's YoungestDaugh
ter Falls From Her Wheal Frac-
turing Her Knee Cap.

New York, June 22.-Grace Lease, the
little daughter of Mrs. Mary Elizabeth
Lease of Kansas, was painfully injured
while riding a bicycle last evening in
Sherwood avenue.
The girl is visiting friends at 80 Mott
avenue. After dinner she went out
alone on her wheel. She proceeded
without mfshap to One Hundred and
Sixtv-fourth street. There she met a
cab going at rapid pace and to avoid
it turned sharply to the side of the
street. She evidently became confused,
for she fell from her wheel almost I'm
der the wheels of the cab. The driver
reined up his horse at once and leaped
to the ground to assist her. she was
una BILE to walk and he put her in his
vehicle and took her to the home of her
friends.
The family physician was summoned
and found that the girls right knee cap
was fractured, and it will be several
weeks before she will be able to walk.

Philadelphia June 22-Christian K. Ross

disease at his home Washington ave

the lost Charlie. and up to his last ILL
ness Mr.. Ross never gave up the search
for his missing boy, whose abduction
startled Philadelphia on July 1, 1874, and
became an unsolved mystery the world
over.
In all the long years since. the father,
aided by members of his family, searched
in vain to find his missing boy. Mr.. Ross
was not a wealthy man, but he had rich
relatives, and money was spent like wa
ter to aid in the search. But it was all
useless. Imposters sprang up from every
where. Mr.. Ross was called to all parts
of the country to identify claimants. but
was always doomed to disappointment.
Mr.. Ross was born in Middletown, Pa,
Nov. 6. 1923, and after receiving an edu-
cation in the private schools of Middle
town and Carlisle. came to this city in
1885, where he secured employment in a
wholesale dry goods house. He after
wards became one of the firm of Ross.

master warden of the port of Philadelphia
