ELECTRICAL STORM:
Vivid Display Accompanied by Rain
 Yesterday Afternoon

Late yesterday afternoon there was an electrical storm in and around Birmingha m, which, though of short duration, was very brilliant and very fierce. It was a grand sight, though an awe inspiring one.
 First there would be flame of dazzling brilliancy, accompanied simultaneously by d cracking noise along the trolley and the electric wires in the streets, and in about one second the ear-splitting, nerve -jarring crash would come. The work of one of these bolts, which came near ending fatal ly, is related elsewhere.
 Comparatively little rain accompanied this great display, as up to clock in the even ing the rainfall measured only IS inches.
 The temperature during the morning had been very hot, though not as much so as the days proceeding. Its maximum tenn perature was 9i.2, while it's minimum, in- cludlng all of Sunday night, was 7.3 de- grees. The prevailing winds during the day were from the west.

STRUCK MOTHER HER FOUR CHILDREN Strange Case of the Oldest Boy, En-
 melt Ramb0rt. WAS FOUND UNCONSCIOUS But Walked to a Next Door Neigh
 bOr'S in This State. ALL ESCAPED WITH THEIR LIVES One Side of the House Was Torn Away While the Mother and
 Two of the Children
 Were Sitting Near
ILL ESCAPED WITH THEIR LIVES

That terrific bolt of lightning which made such a noise during the storm yesterday afternoon played havoc at the home of Jeff Rambert, at Eleventh street and Third avenue, North, not only tearing off one side of the house, but seriously shocking Mrs. Rambect and her four children.
 The oldest child, Emmett, boy of about ten years, was out in the yard at the time getting some coal. very near where the bolt struck. When the neig'nbors got to him ne was unconscious, but they put him on his feet, and, strange to say he walked on down the street, though still uncon- scious. He arrived at the house of J. J. Lee, his next door neighbor, and there he swooned completely away. At first it was thought that the boy was dead, but cold water and stimulants were administered by pr. Mann, and at o'clock he was again breathing naturally. and was pronounced out of danger.
 The mother and her other ttree children, Grace Dennis and little baby, were more fortunate, but still they were badly fright ened. They were all in the dining room of the house at the time, when suddenly the entire side of the room in which they were sitting was torn away with a terrific noise. and all of them got the shock of the cleo tricity, though not as seriously as the l..,le boy on the outside.
 All ParaIyzed With Fear
 They were all simply paralyzed with fear, and when MT Lee, the nearest neighbor. arrived at the house he found Mrs. Lam- bert in the middle of the room with the baby in her arms, and the other children clinging to her. All of them were removed as rapidly as possible, and soon afterward recovered from their dazed condition Mr. Lambert was at work in the pudding de- partment of the Birmingham rolling mill, four or five block away, when the accident occurred, but he was quickly summoned to assist his family
 In the meantime the house had begun to burn near the place where the lightning struck it's fiery blow, and soon the whole roof was in blaze. The rain which was falling at the time vas not enough to stop the flames. A fire alarm was turned in at once. and after very rapid run by the North Side department the flames were ex- tinguished before the body of the house was lost. The neighbors succeeded in get ting all of the furniture out of the house, though some of it was badly broken by rough handling.
 The Lamberts came originally from Ohio, and have been living in this city off and on for about three years.
 The injured house was the property of a Mrs. Ware, who lives on the Bessemer dummy line. The damage was roughly es- timated at something like $20O. It is not known whether or not there was any in- surance
