WAS SHOCKED by LIGHTNING.
Mr.. Russell Bargamin's Experience
in the storm Last Tuesday.

Mr.. Russell Bargamin. a young attorney
of this city. has pretty fair idea Of how
il feels to be struck by lightning.
Tuesday afternoon. when the terrific
flash OF the mysterious fluid gave all the
citizens OF Richmond a fright. he was
peacefully trudging along on Foushee
street between Main and Cary. His
mind was full Of legal thoughts and curl
Gus niceties, when all of a sudden-before
he could say Jack Robinson-something
Cracked in his ears" after the manner
of a telephone, and he felt a galvanic
thrill that made his hair stand on ends
1t was horrible. blood-curdling. and de-
moralizing. and knocked every thought
out of his head, even as a demurrer some
times paralyzes u declaration A fainty
feeling came over him, but hastily re-
covering himself, he managed to fall into
a buggy which stood in an open stable
near by. Here he lay for three quarters
OF an hour, too much weakened TO leave
the place. He finally regained his
strength to some extent. but felt badly
for several hours afterwards.
Mr.. Bargamin says the lightning never
touched him. but that he must have
been dangerously near it. The house on
Clay street which was struck bv the same
thunderbolt was almos, in direct line
from him. and doubtless he came in con-
tact with some heavily electrified air |
current

The detention Of southern regiments IN

We do not know how much truth or

OF the friends OF Alger and the admini-

splendid courage. That regiment is MAIN

TO KEEP OUT YELLOW-JACK.
Governor Left Yesterday for Newport
News 10 Confer With DR.. Jones.

Governor Tyler. fearing lest there be
some foundation for the fear that yellow
fever may effect a landing on Virginia
shores. left for Newport News yester-
day afternoon to go through the hospitals
in Hampton and Old Point, and to confer
with DIR. Jones, the quarantine officer.
The Governor has been in daily commu-
nication with DR.. Jones, and~has no rea-
son to believe that any yellow-tever cases
have yet been landed in Virginia but
naturally he is somewhat disturbed over
the situation. and hence his visit to New
port News. He purposes giving DIR. Jones
ample authority 10 act promptly In case
Yellow-Jack makes his appearance OF
our coast and under no consideration will
he let an infected patient enter our ports.
