Perhaps the most peculiar Of the
mountain phenomena are the so-callsd
electric storms. There 10 NO precip-
itation. no lightning, NO thunder. and
usually no wind. Nothing to be heard
and nothing to be seen except the gath
ering clouds. But much may be felt.

trio fluid; the earth, the air, the very
stones and trees, and even human be-

visiting tunnel located on Z noun
tain side at an elevation Of Is 200 feet,
describes his sensations during one OF
these storms. All alone he was climb
ing up the trail to the tunnel. where
he wished to examine vein OF ore.
Great black clouds began to gather on
the horizon, and were soon rolling
about the mountain side below him. A
calm prevailed, then an unnatural
stiffness seemed to be in the air.
Steadily the clouds rolled up the
mountain side like a flood OF black
water. The stones, as he stepped ON
them, began to crackle and snap, like
dry wood in fire. Realizing these un-
usual conditions, he hurried to the
sheltering tunnel above him. His hair
felt as II swarm of flies had settled
In it. When he tried to brush them
away with his hand, he found each
hair standing almost straight. The
stroking of his hair increased the Pc
culiar sensations he experienced, and.
tingling from head to foot, the now
thoroughly frightened man ran into
the tunnel. No sooner had he passed
the entrance than the peculiar sensa-
lions ceased. After resting awhile, he
went to the opening and discovered
himself entirely surrounded by clouds
SO black and dense that he could
scarcely see five feet away, although
the hour was not far from noon. Step
ping outside to investigate, he received
a shock that sent him Keeling back in
to the tunnel, where he remained for
over an hour before the storm passed.
Such electrical storms seem to be
formed in strata. II human being
should make such connection as to
draw the charge from one OF the lay
ers, he would instantly be incinerated.
TINS accident. however, has never been
known to occur. Electrical storms pre-
vail throughout the mountain region.

SEWARD AvERTED WAR.
sar II. y. Momsom Says American
Statesman Prevented Clash
with Britain.

Sir Edmund ]. Monsoon. the British
ambassador at Paris, takes exception
to Naval Lieutenant j. S. Trotter's
ascribing the happy escape of Great
Britain from war with the United
States in the Slidell- Mason affair as
due to Admiral Mines influence on
William H. Seward (then secretary of
state under President Lincoln). The
British ambassador, who was at that
time an attache of the British lega-
ton at Washington. writes to the
Spectator: THE happy result of the
negotiation was principally due to Mr..
Seward, who was almost alone in the
American cabinet in seeing that it
was not only good policy, but con-
sistent with the principles always
held by the United States, to concede
the demand of Great Britain. At this
distance of time it can do no harm
for me to state that that demand, as
formulated by Lord Russell, was de-
livered to Mr. Seward by me, private
ly, Lord Lyons having charged me,
after his first interview with Mr.. Sew
ard, to go at once to the state de-
partment and place copy of Lord
Russell's dispatch in the hand Of the
secretary of state for his official Pc
rusal"

DEMOCRATIC PRIMARY.
Good Vote in Miller County-Berry
and Davis Carry the County.


Yesterday the ''unterifed" Demo
cracy of Miller county held a pri-
mary election, to nominate caudi-
dates for Senator, state, county
and township officers, There was a
good turn out, and perfect quiet
and good order prevailed every
where-no disturbance of any kind.
While all of the townships have
not been heard from, up to the
time we go to press, enough is know
to name the persons nominated for
the various offices. Berry carried
the county by good sized majority,
for U. S. Senator, and Davis for
Governor.
For township officers, Smither,
Hudgins and Higginbotham carried
Garland township for ], P, and
McFadden for constable.
For county officers, it appears
that the following received ma
jority, and hence were nominated:
For Representative, probably Pey-
ton won though it is possible Walker
may get enough in Sulphur town.
ship to change result. For Clerk,
Sanderson's estimated majority is
300 on this side of Sulphur, which
gives him the nomination. For
County Judge, Hamilton's esti-
mated majority on this side of
Sulphur is 100, and it is thought
this will give him the nomination;
possibly Kelley might overcome it in
Sulphur township. For treasurer,
it is thought that Bedingfeld car
ried the county, but vote of Sulphur
township may change result. For
assessor it is estimated that Win
ham won, but not sure, as vote in
Sulphur may change result. Sheriff
Bickham, Coroner Robinson aud
Surveyor Perry, had no opposition.
For state officers other than Gov
ernor, Jett carried county by good
vote for Secretary of State, Monroe
for Auditor, King for Attorney
General, and Gaines for Railroad
Commissioner, in this congressional
district.
Thiss paper will giae tabulated
vote of the county, just as soon as
possible. 1t is impossible to do so
today-may be several days ere vote
is all in and tabulated.
LATER:-Atl 3 p. m. Bright Star
and Ravana heard from-it will not
change above calculations, unless
balance of that township changes
