lightning STREAK'S FREAK
It Played Merry Little Tune on M
JOhnsOn;s Piano.

A strange freak of lightning is reported
by Mr.. E. J. Johnson of 2520 East Ninth
street. During the thunderstorm early
Thursday morning a musically inclined
thunderbolt PadareNskied athwart Mr..
Johnson's fine piano, very much to the
instruments deIapidation, and made its
exit without an encore The lightning
entered Mr. Johnson's house at the north
west corner at a point about six feet
from the ground, being conducted to that
particular point of entrance by a wire
clothes line, one end Of which was fas-
tened there. The weather boarding was
loosened but not otherwise damaged, and
the corner post was split. But it was
inside the house that the risky fluid cut
its special caper. Two holes in the wall
opposite the external point Of entrance,
one Of them half the size of a mans ex-
tended hand, and the other the size of a
half-dollar and about two inches apart,
show little above the piano, which has
a back board split and a piece torn out
of the end farther from the place the
bolt entered. The exit of the prankish
visitant was effected through the wall
just at the corner of the, piano at the
damaged end, Two Olher noleS showing IN
the north wall almost of the size and
shape of those where the lightning came
in. In traversing the piano stack of
sheet music was encountered and

THE PLOT THICKENS.
Senator Fair Said to Nave Acknowl
edged Mrs. Craven as His Wife.

San Francisco, Cal, Feb. 17.-Sensa-
ton follows sensation in the Craven-Fair
litigation. On the very heels of Justice
fat denial of his original story that he
had performed marriage ceremony be-
tween the late Senator Fair and Mrs.
Nettie Craven, comes the announcement
that Mrs Craven is prepared to produce
a witness who will testify that the dead
millionaire was introduced to him by
Mrs. Craven as her husband upon which
occasion the senator admitted the exist
ence of a marriage contract. The new
factor in the case is Ben Flamborn, city
clerk of Alameda, a man of prominence
and standing in the community. The at
torneys for the Fair estate do not at
tempt to assail his integrity but claim
that they will show that he is mistaken
in his assertions.

LOOK TO KITCHENER.
ExDected to Prevent Boer Army from
Reaching B1OemfOnteir.

Expected to Prevent Boer Army from
Reaching Bloc mfontein.
London. Feb. 17-With Gen. Cronje in
full retreat ana Gen. Kelly-Kenny har-
assing his rear hopes run high that de-
cisive action will occur, if it has not al
ready been fought. The dispatches from
Jacobsdal confirm this belief, saying Gen.
Cronje will be obliged to "out-span," i'll
other words form q laager or camp, in
order to rest his .oxen. This explains
Gen. Kelly Kenny's latest dispatch re-
ferring to holding the laager, which also
brought long expected word of Gen.
Kitchener's whereabouts. That the gem
eral, who so resistlessly pursued the
Khalifa to his doom is supervising the
the confidence Of the nation, now SO Gag
erly awaiting further news. II Gen
Tucker with the Seventh division is
able to effect the projected junction with
the forces of Gen. Kelly-kenny, while
the Ninth division, under Gen. Colville,
hero of Khartoum should have a suffi-
Gent force to decisively engage Gen.
Cronje and prevent him from reaching
Bloemfontein with an effective force.
Activity on the Modder.
Over the whole Modder river district
there is such tremendous military activ-
ity that it is hard to realize the area Gov
cred or grasp the full meaning of the
movements. The Beers, though retreat
ing from MagersfOntein, are active else
where. A special dispatch from Orange
River, dated Friday, February 1G says
they are attempting to cut the British
line Of communications at Graspan, but
it is said they are not likely to effect a
serious result They are, however, I'M
doubtedly making a strenuous effort to
cut the British lines to De Aar.
On the other hand comes the news that
Gen. Macdonald has again occupied Koo-
doosberg.
What precautions Lord Roberts has
adopted against counter attacks are not
yet known, but the war office and pub
lie are thoroughly convinced that he is
fully able to cope with all contingencies
and that. il it is within human possibili-
ty, he will infict the defeat on Gen
Cronje that is so much more important
than the relief of Kimberley. brilliant as
was the latter achievement.
Capture Not Confirmed.
The reported capture of large British
convoy by the Beers is still not men
toned officially. There is no news of
Importance from elsewhere on the scene
of war.
Dispatches from Cape Town announce
that enthusiastic demonstrations fol-
lowed the announcement of the relief of
Kimberley. Government house was sur
rounded by huge crowds and the British
high commissioner and governor of Cape
Colony, Sir Alfred Miner. received an
ovation. The house which Lord Roberts
occupied on his arrival at Cape Town
was similarly fetcd, there was parading
through the city, cheering for "Bobs,"
flag flying and hostile demonstrations
outside the offices of the newspapers
sympathetic to the Beers and before the
residences of ministers supposed to be in
sympathy with the burghers. The relief
of Kimberley was similarly celebrated in
other towns of Cape Colony.
