AFTER the TEMPEST.
Much Damage to City Hall Lot, Streets and
Crossings.

The previously mentioned thunder
storm Of Thursday night, seemed to be
central over the whole of this section, but
no damage from lightning Is reported.
The effects, Friday morning, were visible
in more than one way and will be remem-
bered for some time, at least by Street
Commissioner Sumner. The damage to
the streets in all parts of the city was
apparent and especially near the new
City hall was the effect Of the deluge
noticeable and, too, most regrettable.
Under the supervision of Mr.. Sumner
several days work by the city crew
transformed the spacious grounds about
the City hall into neatly graded PARK.
Suitable loan was applied to the top and.
Wednesday, seed was sown. Brooks o;
large size must have travcrsed the lawn,
Thursday night. for the even grade has
disappeared with a good deal of the
Ioam and deep gulies remain.
The Maine Central tracks at Winthrop
street were covered by from to s inches
of sand, the manhOle for receiving sur
face drainage becoming clogged during
the early part of the shower.
A milk dealer living on Winthrop hi!
was up during the shower and says that
he does not remember more vivid light
ming or greater outpouring Of the watery
elements in years.

: FAIRFIELD.

Claud Cole. who works at the HoI-
linsworth & Whitney mill at Winslow,
had an experience with lightning.
Thursday. that he is not liable to for
get for a while. He was at work run
ming the press in the printing depart
ment. Directly over the press there is
an electric light. the wire of which was
recently broken. The lightning struck
somewhere outside and came in on the
wire, coming out at the break directly
in front of Mr.. Cole. He says it SEEM
ed to come out in a steady stream from
the wire and to collect on the press in
to ball and then roll off onto the zinc
under the press and spatter with many
small reports, like a bunch OF small
frecrackers set off at once. The spot
where the ball struck was only about
three feet in front of the box on which
he was standing, and the nervous
shock was such that in putting down a
window moment later his hands
trembled so that they went through
the glass, cutting them in several
places. In the same storm J. II. Dom
nelly, while arranging bicycle sundries
in his show window received a distinct
shock from a steel sprockett wheel
which he had in his hand.

DlSGRAcEFUL ACTIONS
By Youngsters During an Open Air Meeting.
Last Evening.

| Mr. and Mrs. w. F. Dodd of Boston,
evangelists to the rural districts. with
John Robinson. conducted an open air
meeting in the square. last evening.
under the most adverse circumstances
The meeting consisted of solos by Mr..
| Robinson and talks by Mr.. and Mrs.
Dodd. During the time the two were
speaking quite a crowd collected to
hear what was going on and many who
We're drawn there merely by curiosity
remained to hear what was said.
Among the crowd was a dozen or
more street youngsters who made it
decidedly hard for the speakers.
While the singers were reaching the
high notes the youngsters chimed in
with mock solemnity. The youngsters.
when Mrs. Dodd began to speak, gain
ed more boldness and crowded nearer,
blowing tobacco smoke in her face.
The meeting continued until the end,
however. with serious Interruption
Mr.. Dodd, in speaking at the close
of the meeting of his work, said that
it was his especial work to labor among
the people in the rural districts. He
had come to Maine for that especial
purpose. He did not appear for any
particular creed, he said, but simply
TO perform work to which he had been
called. He had found that at this sea-
son of the year the farmers were so
busy haying that he could not carry on
his work among them. In consequence
he will labor among the people in the
cities for the present. He is not, as
was reported in the street. a represep-
tative of the Holy Ghost and Us" peo-
pie.
