The defendants in the Mashona case relied or an exception clause in the bill of- ading, which provided against restraint by princes, rulers of people" The plaintiffs asserted that since the ultimatum Of the Transvaal to Great Britain was issued on October II, 1899, the shippers must have known that Q state of war existed. The defendants denied this saying that the Boer ulti- matum was not published in the United States until November of that year.

 London, Aug. 2.-Justice Mathew, in the kings bench division of the high court of justice, to-day, rendered judg- ment in favor oe the plaintiffs in the case of Mackie, Dunn x Co.,, who sued Donald Currie & Go. and Bucknall Brothers for delay in the delivery of cargo of foodstuffs shipped on the British steamer Mashona, from New York, October 1S 1899, consigned to Pretoria. The cargo was seized by the British warship Partridge, in Algoa Bay.
 The court found that the agents of the defendants knew that the goods were liable to confiscation on board the steamer, and that, therefore, delay in their delivery was probable. A stay of execution was granted, as six other ac- tons are pending.

struck by Lightning.

Last Saturday evening, about six
o'clock, heavy electrical storm passed
over this city. During the afternoon
the Ladies of the Lawn Tennis Club
had prepared for one of their "reas,
on the grounds on North Main street,
and when the shower came, between
twenty and thirty ladies and gentle
men were assembled ON the grounds.
They took shelter in the club build
ing and on the porch. While the
storm was at its height, there came n
terrific flash of lightning, accompan-
led by n deafening peal of thunder. S.
w Cochran, the druggist, who was
standing at the east end of the porch.
holding an umbrella, was struck and
fell to the floor ingensible IT was
half an hour before he was perfectly
conscious again. Mrs Ellie Erisman,
who was at the extreme west end of
the building, inside, was rendered
deaf in both ears for time and felt
the effects OF the electric current in
other respects. Others were more or
less affected by the shock but suffered
no serious consequences.
Mr.. Cochran felt so much better later
Saturday evening, that he visited his
store, but he has since suffered 80
much from pain and the nervous shock
as to be confined to his home. One of
his eyes was burned by the current,
and in addition, it was struck as he
fell, making serious bruise He il
improving as we go to press.
An examination of the binding and
surroundings discloses some queer
freaks Of the lightning A post at the
eastern end of the building is splint-
cred from about six inches from the
top for two or three feet down, and
split to the bottom. The upper part
of the end-support Of the porch on
the east side has slanting grove
plowed out of it, and on the post of
the binding at the north east end the
putty is burned out of two nail holes.
At this corner, on the inside, there
were several umbrellas standing,
which were twisted and burned by the
electric current and Chinese lantern
hanging on the wall was set on fire.
No sign, however, Of the entrance Of
the electricity from the outside, can
be discovered. The roof extends
several inches over the porch where
the heaviest damage was done, yet no
damage was done to the roof. 1t looks
as though the charge had come hori-
zontally until it struck the porch
post. The west end Of the building
shows no signs Of injury, but the
fence on Main street, few feet off,
was struck and post and one or two
boards shivered. The wire netting on
the fence also shows signs Of being
burned.
The field in which the tennis
grounds are located seems to afford
some peculiar attraction for lighting
1t has been struck at various times
| during past years.

The meeting of the "Voluuteers
of America" in the First Baptist
Church, last Saturday evening, was
prevented by the severe electrical
storm that prevailed. Two or three
efforts were made during Sunday to
hold street meetings but these were
practically failures owing to the
constant showers in the afternoon. A
short meeting was held late in the
evening, but shower cut it short.
Later on 1t is hoped to have Balling-

The cricket team of the l.. A. G..
jonrneyed to Trenton last Saturday
and played match with the Trenton
Reserves on the new grounds of the
G. G.. on Greenwood avenue. Although
disappointed by three of the players
failing TO put in an appearance, the
captain decided to play the match as
per agreement. Winning the toss,
the l.. A. G. captain sent the Reserves
to the bat against the attack Of Frank
Mitchell and Jack Elliot, and his
choice proved good one, as both
bowlers were dead on" and almost
unplayabie.
The support given them was very
good, and the reserves were all re
tired for 30 runs, of which were
extras. Garrigues and Mitchell then
took the wickets for the l.. A. c., but
when seven runs were scored r.
Wigley found his way TO Mitchell 3
stumps. Elliot was the next batsman
and was soon at home with the bowl
ing, scoring rapidly.
lie soon lost his partner, Garrigues,
who after playing careful innings
was caught from "kicker" in the
slips.
Waldram then joined Elliot and
runs came apace, mostly from the
latter's bat, but an attempt at the i'm
possible, caused Jack to retire on Il
"run out. Three wickets were down
for 30 runs then "rut" set in and the
other batsmen only added three runs.
Thus the H. A. g. were victorious by u
score of AZ TO 20 The fielding ON
both sides was sharp and sure
Elliots score of %, made by hard and
safe hitting, was most creditable
performance. Below we give the
scores in full.

while down there, and believing that

his suspicion to Abrahams' wife. She
became greatly excited and hysterical
and screamed for hours. Crowds went
to the locks and efforts were made to
recover the body without success.
About noon telegram was received
that Abrahams was at Phillipsburg

train, He had taken the midnight
freight for that point, and visited
