storms from the time the ordinary n co.

the supper had been eaten and they
We're terrific both in regard to their

The first one was a little befot e !.

ed. In this storm the flashes and
thunder did not signify the nearr ess
OF the electricity that the later Ones

was struck. the bolt going down the
chimney and doing no damage beybnd
the tearing Of the plastering in the RI ON
where it came out. Mr. Keiton con
sidered himself fortunate that no
further injury was done to his house
Then followed the shower of $50 in
the forenoon, when there was a great
deal Of rain but not quite so heavy
thunder.
At little past in the afternoon. the
third one arrived and all were aware
of its presence. 1t was a terrible one.
Previous to this the air had been 50
very muggy that people could hardly
breathe. There was not a breath Of
air stirring and the sun would occa-
sionally peep out from behind the
clouds Then the thunder rolled and
the clouds grew big. the lightning
flashed and-unlike the poem it killed
no pig, but it seemed as though it must
ported.
The heaviest Of the day was doubt
ness the one that followed close upon
the heels Of the $50 shower. In this
one the lightning struck the northeast
chimney in the Augusta house and
knocked bricks in every direction. No
further injury was done to the house
An electric lightpole on Chestnut street
was struck and split in two pieces. A
bolt is said to have struck on Arsenal
street doing no damage. Two pines in
Fuller's woods on North street suffered
severely.
Then the clouds rolled away leaving
beautiful cloud effect at about the
light showers throughout the evening.
The Electric cars We're tied up at in
tervals throughout the day on account
of the storms and the electric lights
were on and off as the electricity in the
air came and went Taken all in all
it was an eventful day in electric cir
cles.'
From all reports Augusta came out
of the storm with flying colors as it
was really wonderful that no one was
injured or that great deal of property
was not destroyed in the promiscuous
flying about of the lightning.
Several of the young ladies employed
in the Vickery & Hill publishing house
were overcome in the $50 shower and
tainted, but nothing serious resulted
from their fright. Miss Dill was the
most serious affected of all and it was
necessary to carry her to her home on
Perham street.
Other places reported struck By
lightning are Joe Larrabee's and Frank
Wellman's houses: schooner at the
Augusta Lumber cos. wharf, one mast
being badly shattered; and tree on
State street, near Mrs. G. w. Martins
