LIGHTNING HITS HOTEL TYeEE.
Hostelry Fired by Bolt-Panic Among
Guests EnsueG.

Savannah, Ga, July 16.-Hotel Ty
bee was struck by lightning and sci
on fire during a severe thunderstorm
that swept over Tybee island yester
day.
The bolt struck and splintered thd
flagstaff, sending the fragments flying
to the sands far below. Through tho
roof of the cupola ran the tongue OF
fame that followed the bolt and soon
smoke was seen issuing therefrom.
The cry of fire was set up. and soon
the guests of the hotel, particularly
the ladies', were in a frenzy of eX
citement They rushed madly here
and there and many of them were
hysterical One tainted dead away
and was oblivious to her surroundings
during the time of the widest excite
ment.
Handsome gowns and expensive jew.
elry in the rooms above seemed &c
be the chief objects Of the owners
solicitude. While some of the ladies
were gathering their precious belong
ings together and packing them for
transportation to some safer spot than
a burning hotel, other ladies were bus
lily employed in carrying frightened
children and rushing with them to the
nearby cottages intent upon saving
themselves and their little ones. Dur.
ing all this tumult and excitement a
fire brigade of minute men, employees
and guests of the hotel, were busy
with hand extinguishers fighting the
flames in the cupola attic. They final
ly extinguished the fire, and after q
time peace and quiet were restored in
the hotel.
The structure is Of wood, and it was
strange that in the high wind that pre-.
vailed the flames did not get start
that the fire brigade would have been
unable to check. Tents blew down
and cottagers had a fright during the
storm.

Dr. Collins had been practicing
