The UOrE Of Liyhti,iuy.

During the severe thunder and
rain storm Saturday night lightn-
ing struck the residence of Judge
Jones and the Presbyterian
church. One OF the chimneys OF
the Judges handsome residence
was struck and badly torn to
pieces above the roof, and q con
siderable hole was knocked into
the roof several feet away from
the damaged chimney. The over
head plastering in one OF the
rooms on the first floor was con
siderably shattered, and the house
was filled with the fumes Of sul-
phur or powder. None OF the
family was burt, but, Of course,
they were much alarmed at the
terrific crash which was terrify
ing to people in all parts of the
town.
Mr.. and Mrs. II. b. Allison who
are boarding there experienced a
aense fog of scot in their room
immediaters,y after the stroke
which in some Strange way, extln.
guished the light in their room
They all expected every moment
to see fire break out in the blwI wIid
ing, but fortunately their eXpec-
tations never materialIzed.
The bolt that struck the Pres
byterian church damaged the
facings of one of the doors, tore
to pieces the frame of one of the
windows damaged the roof and
lett a number of other marks in
different parts of the church.
The fact that the church had
been struck was not known
with certainty till next morn
ing. Mrs. j. j. Graham was
pretty badly shocked by the
stroke, and they suspected that
the church had been struck.
Judge Jones' loss is fully
covered by. insurance, but there
was no insurance on the church.

precious one from us is gone,

A place is vacant in our home
W hich never can be filled.
God in his wisdom has recalled
The boon his love had given,
And though the body moulders here
The soul is safe in heaven.
Safe in the arms of Jeaus,
Safe on his gentle breast,
There by his love DER shadowed
Sweetly his soul shall rest.

some twelve or fifteen years
. 20 1t was Il very common thing
for stores in Lancaster 10 be
broken into or unlocked by false
keys and entered and goods of all
kinds carried OIL; but for several
years past we have had little or
none of that kind Of thing until
recently. One night about three
weeks ago one Of the large glasses
in the show window of b. G..
Hough N Co.'S store was broken
and some pistols and cartridges
stolen t'erefrom. The broken
glass was promptly replaced hy a
new one next day. and on last
Saturday night the same glass
was b'oken in exactly the same
place as the other and other goods
stolen.
This shows the importance Of a
night policeman. The town is at
the mercy Of thieves after dark
because, under the plan that has
:.2lYays existed here, there is no
noli&eman on duty at night. We
resnncrtfnlly direct the attention
of orr toSyr IN council to this matter
and ask that they maintain the
progressive pol'jsy that has
characterized their o.S~ ~ "a ares II
by departing from this oIo !,
and by putting on policeman
at night. We are sure this will
appeal to their sound Judgment
and that they Will be sustained
by the business men of the town.
