THE CROSS REMAINED.
lightning Wrecks Belfry but Leaves
the Emblem.

Greenport, L. L, March 18.-Ominous
clouds were oversprea ding the heavens
last night as the people of this village
were on their way to church and prayer
meeting, and before they had been seat
ed in their pews long the clouds opened
and the rain descended
In St. Agnes Roman Catholic church
the services had reached what might be
called the point of climax, the choir was
singing the ''Magniflcat,'' the Rev. P.
Farrelly, the pastor, stood in the pulpit,
and the congregation was standing.
when there came a binding flash, fol-
lowed instantly by a great crash, as a
bolt of lightning tore itself through the
belfry and buried itself in the ground
beneath the church.
The members of the choir, within a
few feet of whom the bolt descended,
were nearly stunned their notes of
praise were cut off in their throats, half
uttered, while the great organ became
suddenly mute. In the congregation,
consisting of $50 men and women, there
was nearly a panic. Only the GOODNESS
of the pastor prevented a stampede.
A notable feature was that the light
ming, although demolishing one corner
of the belfry tower, in no way injured
the cross surmounting it, which stands
erect today, unframed, amid the wreck.

Criticises His State.

Frankfort, KY, March 18.-Acting
Governor Worthington today pardoned
out of the penitentiary Jackson Cox.
a 13-year-old boy, sent from Pike coun-

wrote:
THE petitioner in this case is a mere
child, aged Is years, and not a precoc-
ious one at that, and, in my humble
opinion utterly incapable of appreciat-
ing the enormity of the crime with
which he is charged. 1t would be a
most fragrant and palpable violation of
both the moral and civil law to consign
a mere child for a period of two years
to the association and influence of the
most hardened criminals, and should I,
having the power to deliver him from
this immoral and communicating pest
house. refuse to do so for fear of public
censure, I should deem myself a moral
coward and that a just God would
spurn me from that mercy which I had
refused to this erring child.

my hands and the great comnonw ealth

There was evident a marked improve

as shown by the recitations of the pupils
and by the papers displayed. While the
conditions in the "muti-graded" schools
are not so favorable in many respects as
the single grade schools, yet the teacher
with energy and ingenuity brings about
good results.

various schools was gratifying, being in
most cases much larger than last year
