ELECTRICAL STORM AT LYONS.
A Cow and Calf struck by Lightning.
other Notes.


Lyons. Ga. April 19.-This section was
visited by an electric storm this afternoon
between 8 and O'Clock. Just before the
storm the clouds so obscured the sun as
10 make it almost as dark as night, then
the rolling sounds of thunder and the zig
gag flashes of lightning made a scene
beautiful in it's grandure. While the storm
was at its hight, a cow and young calf
which had been quietly grazing in field
near town, was struck by a flash of light
ming. Both were instantly killed, the COW
falling TO the ground but, strange as IL
may seem, the calf. after being struck.
stood perfectly stin and about six yards
from the trunk of the tree. After the
storm had abated, the owner of the stock
went to the pasture with the intention o.
sknning the dead COW, and driving the
calf into the barn yard, but imagine his
surprise and CONSERVATION, when he ~
tempted to make the calf move on, to find
that it was stone dead, but standing still
and upright in it's tracks. The only eX-
PLANTATION is that the electric fluid had
the effect on the animal of stiffen.ns
all it's limbs, and ats feet being sufficient
ly embedded in the ground to support 1t in
an upright position.
The electric storm was followed about
two hours later by the heaviest down pour
of'rain that has fallen here this year, ard
the rain was gladly welcomed, too, for 1t
was needed both by the farmers who find
that their land is getting too hard to plow.
and by the lumbermen who are anxious to
get their timber fioated out TO market.
Several of our people who have been in
the truck farming industry on a small
scale are making preparations to put in
from one to five acres of strawberries each.
The soil of this section is admirably adapt
ed to raising this delicious fruit. Lyonites
are now enjoying new English peas and
Irish potatoes from their gardens.
The tent meeting, which has been going
on here for the past two weeks, conducted
by the holiness people, has come to close,
and the evangeists have gone to seek new
fields. They created very little impression
among the people.

BLAcKsHEAR SEES A METEOR.
Terrific Report and "A shower of Fire
as Ii ExpIodes.

Blackshear, Ga. April ia few min
utes before O'Clock last night a brilliant
meteor was discovered TO be shooting
cross the heavens travelling apparently
from west to east. The meteor seemed
to be as large as the full moon, and as
brilliant. and was accompanied by a rumb-
ling, roaring noise, closely resembling the
noise which usually precedes an earth
quake.
After a few seconds its light went out
and in a few more seconds was seen to
explode, hurting myriads of little star like
lights In every direction, and presenting
a beautiful spectacle.
The explosion was accompanied by a
terrific report. as though it had been a
loud clap of thunder
The meteor was seen by a number of
people. and the explosion was heard by
all. Many humorous theories were adj
vanced this morning by those who
had heard the report of the ex-
plosion but had not seen the
meteor. Perhaps the most humorous
of all was that il was the noise
of Spanish guns at Brunswick The col
ored population was greatly affrighted,
and the night was spent in prayer and
supplication by most of them.

The number of attempted crimes against

BLACKBURN BoMBARDED.
Tries to Break Up a Fielder Meeting
and Gets the Worst of 1t.

and Gets the Worst of 1t.
Atlanta. Ca, April 1s.-The Grand Opera
house was the scene tonight of one of the
Hveliest political gatherings that has &C.
Cured here since Col. Lon Livingston and
Col. Malt Gambler, backed by a squad of
newspaper reporters, came near having a
knock down and drag out of it four years
ago during the congressional campaign.
The meeting tonight was called by Hon.
T. B. Fielder, one of the four candidates
for Congress from the Fifth district Two
thousand people turned out and listened to
Col. Fielder with attention.
At the conclusion of his speech Editor
b. NJ. Blackburn, the "Game Cock of the
Fight" as he is called, arose In the au-
dience and called for hearing.
He had previously interrupted Col W.
$. Glenn, one of the speakers, TO deny his
assertion that he is running in the in
terest of Col. Livingston.
When Mr.. Blackburn arose there was a
sensation. The crowd sent up a howl and
he was then invited to the stage.
Mr. Blackburn went to the front and in
the midst of a good deal Of confusion de-
clared that Mr.. Fielder had refused to meet
him in joint debate because he was afraid
TO do so. Last night in his speech at the
Tabernacle he called Mr.. Fielder "Shang
hal" He repeated his challenge to Mr.
Fielder and left the stage in an uproar.
In an instant Mr.. Fielder was on his feet
again and for a quarter of an hour made
the crowd howl by volley of ridicule and
sarcastic denunciation of Mr. Blackburn.
The latter tried TO fire back at him from
the audience, but finally desisted under Mr.
Felder's relentless. excoriation. The Incl
dent created great excitement.
Mr.. Blackburn has announced another
meeting for tomorrow night, and 1t is
expected that 1t will be hot one.
