CIRCUS TENT BLOWN DoWN.-Dur-
ing q terrific wind storm which passed
over Winchester yesterday afternoon
the main tent of John Robinson's cir.
Gus, which is exhibiting there, was
blown down during the perfo rmauce
Over 5000 people were in the tent at
the time. Fortunately no fatalities re-
suited and no one is thought to be ia
dangerously hurt. About forty per-
sons were injured by being struck by
poles and in the collapse of seats. An
almost Understandable panic followed the
collapse of the tent. Many persons
were injured by being trampled upon.
Even while the 5000 persons were
struggling beneath the fallen canvas
thieves commenced to ply their trade.
Hundreds of hats, umbrellas and sew
eral watches, rings and pocket-books
were lost by local people. Many wo-
men tainted and nearly every one in
the general stampede was paralyzed
with fright. Rescues were made by
cutting the canvas with knives and lift
ing the imprisoned spectators to places
OF safety. Ali the physicians in the
city were summoned, but many of those
slightly injured went to their homes.
Fred O'Brien, an acrobat and clown,
was the most seriously injured. His
right thigh was broken and he received
other injuries.

HOW TO DODGE LIGHTNING.

HOW TO DODGE LIGHTNING.
The recent disaster at Charlotten-
burg, Germany, in which two persons
we're killed by lightning and nearly
fifty people were seriously injured, has
induced the eminent scientist, Professor
Kremser, of the Berlin Meteorological
Institute, to give the public through the
press number of precautionary meas
ures to take during a thunder storm.
The professor says:
The lightning, as is well known,
strikes high points. 1t is, therefore,
important that we keep away from any
thing that rises above the ground, such
as trees, masts, walls, and fences. All
wires of iron and steel are dangerous,
not simply because they are metallic,
but because they are excellent conduc-
tors of the electric fluid. Even on an
open field the erect human body is an
easy attraction for the lightning.
The most sensible thing to do
therefore, is to stretch at full length on
the ground at the peril Of recei living a
thorough drencnine. It is, however,
batter to be on terra 6rma than on
water, as the water attracts the light
ming more easily than the dry land.
Since most people seek protection in
doors which is not always the best
place-let them keep away from the
chandeliers, and especially from the
hearth. Chimney hues are the best
lightning conductors. One Of the great
est mistakes made during thundt r
storms is to close all the windows. Only
those windows should be closed through
which the rain is blown, as the light
ming follows the rain and wind. Win
dows on the opposite side can be safely
left open. As most of the victims Of
lightning are not burned, but succumb
to sort of paralysis to the nervous
system, it is important not to give up
hope when q person is struck, but to
call at once physician, who can apply
effective restoratives.

SNAKE BREAKS Up A MEETING

SNAKE BREAKS Up A MEETING
During Sunday evenings service at the
Hargrave church, Jackson county, W.
Va, Deacon James Arnold felt strong
pressure on the calf OF his right leg.
Bending down he found that q snake
was coling itself around his leg. For
fear of being bitten and not wishing to
create panic, he sat still for few
minutes, till, turning toward his wife,
he caught sight of the reptiles head on
the pew seat about to strike him.
Catching it quickly he threw it to the
floor, placed mis- foot on its body and at
tempted to crush it, in the meantime
trying to get out his knife. His con-
duct attracted the attention OF the con-
gregation, and in moment the cry OF
"snake" was raised. Women mounted
the seats, screaming in terror, and men
either left the building or started to-
ward Deacon Arnold. The latter sue.
ceeded in getting out his knife and by
the time help arrived he had cut the
snake in two. To quiet the coDgregs-
ton he held it aloft, one piece in each
hand. The reptile was laid out in the
aisle and measured, and its length was
six feet, lacking one inch. It was
black snake, species rarely seen in
that section. An attempt to continue
the services proved unsuccessful.
