PANIC AT A FUNERAL.
Thunder and lightning Brighten
the Mourners

Port Jervis. y. Y. Aug. n--At fu-
neral service in a church in Bethel on
Monday a panic was caused by a thun-
derstorm The Rev Mr.. Closa. of Coch-
ecton, Sullivan County. was conducting
services for Miss Cochran. Of New York
city, who was to have been married this
month TO New York man. The church
was crowded.
Soon after the service commenced a
TERRIFIC thunderstorm came up and light
ming repeatedly struck close to the
church Several persons received shocks
and two horses standing in front of the
edifice were killed before the owner, who
had rushed out to free them, could uu-
harness them. The man was badly shock
ed and could hardly make his way back
to the church.
The storm increased in fury. the fash
es of lightning and crashing thunder be-
came more frequent and worked up the
women in the church to such pitch that
many of them threw themselves on the
floor in terror while men kneIt and pray
ed for the storm to end, each trying to
make his voice heard above the rest.
Words of encouragement were shouted
in the ears of the SnbbIng women by the
pastor. He went from one to another
for three hours. trying TO reasure them,
before the electric storm abated at dusk
few of the mOurners followed the
casket to the grave, a mile distant.

STANDING UP ALL NIGHT
Members Of the Ninth and Tenth

Unable 10 RecIine-So More Troops
TO BE Sent There at Present.

Moniauk Point Aug. 1.-THE rain of
yesterday transformed the hills and val
leys into islands and lakes. and the roads
had been converted into flowing rivers.
and the difficulties of carting the lumber
and other qusrtermasters' supplies to the
sites of the various camps and hospitals
was increased a hundred fold. For a
time it looked as though work would
have to be suspended. and officers and
Government contractors were in despair.
About noon today. however. it cleared up,
and work was resumed with vigor.
Gen. Young took a step in the right di-
rection today when he telegraphed the
railroad officials at Long Island City and
at Jersey City TO hold all troops in the
trains wherever they happened to be un-
I'll further orders from him.
Then he wired to Adjt. Gen. Corbin, at
Washington, asking that no more troops
be ordered until the camp was in shape
TO receive them. Ii a transport arrived
here today the officials would have been
helpless. and simply because the time
which they had planned to put in, pre-
pairing adequate accommo modations for the
men from Cuba, has had TO be expended
in making comfortable the men from
Florida and other Southern camps.
The Ninth and Tenth Cavalry arrived
last night with no rations. They pitched
a few tents at the best spot they could
find. a level tract at the foot of the hill
near the shore of Fort Pond.
There was veritable cl0udburst dur
ing the night, and the ,olored men, cold
and hungry. stood up all night. fifteen
and more in a tent They had no rations
no fireweod. nothing but the clothes they
had on. which were soon soaked through.
This morning they got two bits of hard
tack each for breakfast and ii was after
noon before they got anything in the
shape Of coffee or beans. These men
We're supposed to come here with at least
three days ratiOns.
Tbs afternoon the lab0reTs are working
10 get things in order for these men. and
as they get through with them they have
got TO cart luggage, tents, and other
camp equipment for 500 men Of the Ninth
Cavalry and 2S5 of the Third Cavalry
who arrived here at and o'clock, re-
spso-iVcly.
This leaves but a few men TO do any
thing on the great isolation camps. where
Gen. Young believes he should c nc nitrate
his whole force. And now there are
Rough Riders from Florida, more men
from Fort Mcpherson. and stiH more
from Tampa and Fernandina said to be
on the way here. and every day the trans
ports are drawing nearer and work on
the ground allotted to them is going on
in the most desultory fashion.
IL is hoped that no transports get here
before Saturday, and if their arrival
could be put off until Monday it would
be a mercy.

crime of setting fire to John Weastelrs
barn, at Mo- 15l Monticello Avenue. The
barn was found to be burning just be-
fore dawn today
Revenge for the loss of his position is
supposed to have prompted Haubert to
commit arson.

The man was running in the direction
OF CoTneilsoN Avenue a mile or more
