LIGHTNING TORE OFF HER SHOE.
Mrs. Lees Foot Was Burned, but She
Escaped Other Injury.


From the Atlanta Journal.
Lightning's red bolt in the storm this
morning hit Mrs. NJ. V. Lee of 25 Haynes
street. after demolishing her home Start
ing at the chimney top, the current ran
through the roof and ripped pictures. plas-
tering and furniture to pieces. Then it
jumped into the kitchen and struck Mrs.
Lee in the foot. tearing her shoe off and
giving her severe shock. An hour after
the bolt struck her Mrs. Lee had recovered
and felt no pain from the visit of the
lightning's bolt except a burn on the foot.
There were two persons in the house at
the time. Mrs. Lee and Miss Katie Lee, n
young girl of fourteen. Mrs. Lee was
standing by table in the kitchen, and
Miss Katie standing in the front door.
The bolt struck the chimney on the right
side of the house. 1t tore away u portion
of the chimney and glanced to the roof.
making a hole in it two feet across. scorch-
ing the shingles. TIC bolt then descended
into the front room Immediately beneath
ard tore up Il number Of pictures, demol-
ishing the furniture. 1t knocked the plas-
tering off In this room and in the hall adja-
cent
1t bounded from one side of the room to
the other. Every v&se in the room was
broken. Plastering wes knocked from the
wall within two feet of where Miss Katie
Lee vas standing, but she was not even
shocked.
In the room just beyond the front room
a number of things were scattered around,
but little damage was done.
The kitchen is the next room on the same
side.
Mrs. Lee called for help. Her daughter
rushed through the binding smoke and SCOT
and caught her mother just as she was
about TO fall. The young lady tore the
flaming shoes from her mothers foot, burn
ing her hands ii doing so.
Neighbors ran in. DR.. J. A. Benson, who
lives near by. was hastily summoned. He
gave Mrs. Lee something to quiet her
nerves and she was soon restored.
DR.. Benson was of the opinion that IL
Mrs. Lees shoe had been Il little more
damp the lightning would have killed her
instantly. She had been out in tho yard
a moment and her shoes were slightly wet.
Had the shoes been absolutely dry it is
probable that she would have escaped the
shock altogether.
A strange incident of the occurrence is
that absolutely nothing in the kitchen.
whore Mrs. Lee stood. shows any signs of
having been struck. The room Is in good
order.

action. The Daily Express contends that
Sir Claude Macdonald is charming per-
soEally. but lacks initiative and strength
of character sufficient for the difficult post
of British minister at Pckin. In its news
columns it tells how Sir Claude claimed
British diplomatic victory when the legation
ladies, escorted by Lady Macdonald. visited
the dowager empress, who aftcrward, it is
alleged, sent this telegram to all the prov
inces:
"As you are aware. these foreign devils
have been very troublesome lately. Their
actions have been very offensive to me.
Being woman l could not make the
ministers come and explain. but today l
sent and compelled their women to come
and kow-tow.''
The Daily Express suggests that 10000
Indian troops be dispatched to China to
restore order.
The Daily Mail reasserts its position Of
yesterday that the United States, as the
friend of Russia and Great Britain, would
be able to impose order without alliances
or jcaiOusies.
Sir Halliday Mccartney. English secre-
tary of the Chinese legation in London
says that the concerted action of the pow
ers will save the situation In China. add
ing that The end of the disturbances Is in
sight and that soon all will be over.
Additional Russian and Austrian troops
have arrived at Tfen Tsin. and the German
cruisers Hansa ard Gefion have started
from Kiao Chou for Taku with marines

fact that much needed rain has fallen is
expected at Ten Tsin to have good ef-
feet in accelerating the suppression of the
