The terrific rain storm which swept
through here yesterday afternoon, with
its accompaniment of hail, thunder and
lightning, did a vast amount of dam
age throughout the city, all the street
car lines being more or less affected,
and several residences being struck by
the lightning.
Telegraphic communications of the
Delaware and Hudson railroad were
crippled, but none of the cars of the
road were at all effected by the storm
and all arrived in time.
The residence of Joseph Summers, on
Short avenue, near No. 21 school, was
struck by lightning about o'clock last
evening. The bolt struck near the
chimney and passing through the roof,
entered second floor bedroom and
then passed through the first floor to
the cellar. A large-sized hole was
made in the ceiling and a good deal of
plaster was torn away by the bolt
passing through 1t also struck bed,
which was torn to pieces and set in
flames. At still alarm was sent in, to
which the North Scranton companies
responded and quickly extinguished the
blaze. The entire damage will proba-
RESIDENCE STRUCK.
Mr.. Merriman's residence, on San
derson avenue, was also struck by a
bolt of lightning, but the current lucki-
ly followed metal pipe down the side
of the house and into the ground and
as result the house was but slightly
damaged.
A house belonging to Mrs. Dunkerly,
of 314 Meridian street, was struck by
lightning and slightly damaged.
At Olyphant the house of Seth Will
liams was struck by bolt, which. en-
tering through the chimney, tore the
plaster from the wall and burned a
large hole in the floor, also shattering
number of dishes. A house belonging
to Dominick Howard, on Dunmore
street, was also damaged, a large por-
tion of the siding being torn off. The
houses of Hugh O'Boyle and Mark
Williams were also struck by lightning.
In Green Ridge the sewers proved
entirely too small to carry off the sur
plus water and as a result the streets
were flooded. Last Summer the Dick
son avenue merchants threatened to
sue the city for damages caused by
just SuIll dS lHdl Ol last eNen-
ing.
On Meridian street. in West Scran-
ton, the Smithing and Joseph Ansley
properties were badly damaged by the
water from a defective sewer, the
water standing from one to two feet
deep in the barns and buildings.
CARS DAMAGED.
The Scranton Railway company suf-
fered considerable loss. six cars being
totally disabled and between fifteen
and twenty very badly damaged. The
lightning struck the cables in a large
number of instances and the fuses
were burned out and the machinery
thrown out of working order, while the
cars were frequently thrown off the
track. The West and North Scranton
lines were particularly affected.
The signal lights all along the line
were damaged, also, in many stances
the boxes being torn off the poles. from
Eynon street to Taylor this being espe-
cially so. Every thing will be remeaIed
by this morning, however.
For the first few minutes after the
storm broke the downpour of rain was
very heavy. 1t was accompanied by
a generous sprinkling of hailstone.

A Pleasure and a Duty.

I consider it not only a pleasure but
a duty I owe to my neighbors to tell
about the wonderful cure effected in
my case by the use of Chamberlain's
Collie, Cholera and D1arrhoea Remedy.
I was taken very badly with flux and
procured a bottle of this remedy. A
few doses of it effected a permanent
cure. I take pleasure in recommend
ing it to others suffering from that
dreadful disease. w. Lynch, Dorr,

FAITH CURISTS ARE
HELD RESPONSIBLE
VERDICT OF coRoNER's JURY
IN THE NEWELL CASE.
Jury Met Last Night in the Court
House and Coroner Roberts Ex-
planned That the Woman's Death
Might Have Been Averted Had
Medical Assistance Been Secured.
Jury Holds Mrs. Clara S. Boyd,
Mrs. Ilehart and the woman's
Husband Responsible.

The coroner's jury empannelled to
inquire into the death of Mrs. Lydia
r. Newell, whose body was disinterred
by Coroner j. J. Roberts at the request
of her parents, met last night in the
arbitration room of the court house,
and decided upon a verdict holding
the woman's husband, Mrs. Clara s.
Boyd and Mrs. Ilehart directly re-
sponsible for her death. The full text
of the verdict is as follows:
I'VE, the undersigned jurors empan-
nelled to inquire into the death OF
Mrs. Lydia E. Newell find that said
death was caused by septic peritonitis,
and was the direct result of neglect
on the part of Mrs. Clara s. Boyd,
Mrs. Ilehart and Rev. c. +. Newell.
We further find that the two former
were more culpably negligent Mr..
Newelrs willingness to provide assist
ance exonerating him to a certain eX-
tent. We also deprecate the practice
of faith curists.'
THE TESTIMONY.
The inquest proper. it will be re-
membered, was held last Friday night,
when a number of witnesses, includ-
ing the three persons blamed for the
womans death, were examined. Cor
oner Roberts testified last night before
the jury that he had made a post
mortem examination of the remains,
and told of the condition he found
Blood poisoning, he said, was the
cause of Mrs. Newel's death. No prae-
ticing physician, no matter how little
he knew, would think of leaving Mrs.
Newell in the condition which resulted
in her death.
Though Mrs. Boyd persisted in say
ing at the inquest that she didn't
have charge of the case, the jury
were evidently led to believe that she
was, on account of the letter written
to Mrs. Newell from the headquarters
of the Dowie faith in Chicago, advis-
ing her to have some Cody Zion wo-
man in attendance when the child was
born. The supposition is, of course,
that Mrs. Newell sent for Mrs. Boyd
as a "Godly Zion woman" and the
fact that the latter called after Mrs.
Ilehart to accompany her tended to
confirm this supposition.
MRS. BOYD'S ADMISSION.
A fact that also had great weight
with the jury was Mrs. Boyd's admis-
sion that she was formerly a physi-
clan, the theory being that she must
have therefore had knowledge of the
danger to Mrs. Newell.
Mrs. Ilehart testified IN Friday night
that she had been presdn at the birth
of the child and had cut the umbilical
cord. She was present for four days
after the child's birth also, and the
jury probably thought that she should
nave called in medical attendance. Mr..
Newell was blamed for not summon
ing medical aid, he having testified
that he believed in physicians.
Rev. Gideon Hammond. of Philadel-
phia. an elder in the Christian Catho-
lie church, of which Mrs. Boyd is
member, is in the city to look after
her interests in case she is prosecuted.
