August 18th one of the most destruct-
i've fires started that ever visited Derby,
when about 100 p. M, lightning struck
Gov. CIRCUITS barns. The governor stepped
out directly after the stroke, and within
one minute he saw fire and smoke issuing
from nearly every part of twenty-rods
length of roofing. In ten minutes time
the roofs were well sblaZe. The people
turned out with their pals and fought
with.a vengeance. Sheds that joined the
house were within about twelve feet of the
burning buildings, another building cor
nering within fifteen feet; still another
building thirty feet away, bnt parallel
with a barn on fire, yet none of them
were burned but were damaged somewhat
by blistering paint, charring, etc. Quite
a number of persons were overcome by
heat, burned and blistered. All are do
ing well at present, so that none are very
much injured. Newport Fire Co. came in
after the hottest of the battle was over and
did some valuable work by relieving the
heated, weary men. At present writing,
900 O'Clock Thursday evening, the fire is
nearly all out. About 200 tons of hay and
fodder were burned, a few hundred dollars
in machinery, three valuable cattle, eight
pigs and many other articles that it will
take money to replace. Loss, $4,000 or
more; partly insured. Express and Stand
