Mr.. JOHNSON SHOCKED.
Lightning Capered and Smashed
Things Generally.

Paxton, Aug. 23.-The house of
Charles H. Johnson, ex-assessor, and
one of the best known citizens of the
town, was struck by lightning during
the storm last night and, apart from
cutting capers generally, smashing
mirror, scorching the woodwork and
knocking a door out of place, it gave
Mr.. Johnson severe shock.
The Johnson homestead is situated in
the northern part of the town.
In speaking with The Spy reporter,
Mr. Johnson said that, in his opinion,
the lightning first struck the historic
elm in his yard and glanced from there
to the building. The bolt ploughed
through window and made a very
circuitous tour of the house, winding
up its career by knocking a mirror
within few feet of Mr.. Johnson into
pieces, tearing out the door and rip
ping clapboards off the upper and lower
story.
Mr.. Johnson said that the shock af
fected him at intervals during the
night like charges from an electric
battery. Today, however, he has en-
tirely recovered and is feeling like a
young colt.

% ESTERHAZY EXCITED.
He Has Been Stabbed in the Back He
Says, BY False Friends.

Paris, Aug. 23.-The Figaro gives an
extract from a letter written Just be-
fore he died by Signor Ressman, the
Italian ambassador to France, to whom
Col. Pinazzardi is said by Gen. Roget
to have addressed a letter duplicating
Dreyfus. The following is the signifi-
cant sentence:
Il have only one regret, and that is
to die without having seen the inno-
cence of the unfortunate Dreyfus es-
tablished"
The Matin publishes an interview
with Comte Esterhazy, who energetic
ally denies the allegation made at
Rennes regarding him by Gen. Gonse
and Gen. De Boisdeffre These gem
erals, he says, have not scrupled to
stab him in the back, in order to save
themselves. But" he declares. II
shall know how to defend myself"
Referring to information he has re-
ceived from two sources, to the effect
that there is a plan on foot to de-
nounce him as an accomplice of Drew
fus with Weyl OF the Yacht as an in
termediary, he says:
If this be true, it is simply mon
strous. | cannot believe such an idea
could terminate in any brain. 1t would
be not only the breakdown of the pres
ent trial, but the ruin of men whom, so
far, it has not been desired to Destroy

Protracted Drought in Jamaica Has
Exceedingly Bad Results.


New York, Aug. ga letter to the

dated Aug. IT, says
Although some rain has fallen, the
drought continues practically unbroken.

destroyed altogether in the latter place.
and 1t is said that even if rain now
comes there will be a failure of provi-

OF the drought, the dreadful indigenous

an example we have Marie Agnesi,
born in lis, one Of the Is children of
a rich citizen of Bologna, who must
have need d all his wealth to bring up
such a family. One OF her sisters
was noted as musician and was the
author Of three operas. Marie has

age Of four and early becoming PRO-
fcient IN Hebrew, Greek a1d Latin as
well as German and Spanish. After
spending her youth in the study Of
philosophy and philology, at the desire

Al Extensive Claim.

'strangest claim for damages I ever
ha3 before me-" said the old railroad
man, was one put IL by farmer for
killing a len. 1t was what you might
call al endless chain claim, as it
doubled up in way that threatened
to bankrupt the company if there was
any danger Of the old man collecting
his bill.
The original claim as put IN by the
old man was fifty cents. The next
month We received a statement from
the cid man adding thirty eggs that
the old hen would have laid il she
hadn't been killed. Two months la-er
he put in bill for one old hen, fifteen
young chicks and thirty eggs. Then
for matter Of year We received
roeala: monthly statements from the
Oh: man, which by this time couta: ed
& number Of young pullets which were
laying eggs in way that certainly
proved that there was money IN the
hen business if one could succeed IN
getting It ont.
"5v this time the'old man's original
claims had gone through the proper
channels. and We stood ready 10 gay
him 70: the original hen, bat objected
TO pay him for the imaginary progeny
that the hen had reared after her
death. But the old man would not
have it that way, and insisted on being
paid according to This last statement.
We couiaa't SEE our way clear to doing
that, and the old man continued send
ing his monthly bills, which by this
time con aimed q startling array Of
debts against us, consisting Of hens,
pu!lets and eggs, with few modest
items, such as feed and losses by
hawks.
Nothing but the death Of the old
man saved Us from becoming respon-
sihie for all the hens in the country. i"

Made From Sawdust
A SONG OF home.

Tie town Of Deseronto, in Canada,
where there are several large lumber
mills, is partially lighted by gas made
from sawdust. The sawdust is
charged in retorts, which are heated
bv q wood fire, the gas from the re-
torts passing into series Of coils and
thence into the purifiers, which are
similar to those used for coal gas.
lime is the principal purifying agent
employed. When it passes out Of the
rctorts the gas possesses an odor much
less disagreeable than that Of ordinary
lighting gas, and resembles somewhat
t!,at C smoke from a fire Of green
wcoL CT leaves. The works in use are
small, turning out daily $40 cubic
meters OF gas, for the production Of
which about two tons Of sawdust are
required.
