by Lightning-Loss, $4,000.

Rockland. Me-, Aug. ga terrific cleo
tricaI storm prevailed here from until
10 o'clock Saturday morning, doing much
damage to the crops. At 80 a. NJ, the
house of George E. Mason at South
Thomaston, was struck by lightning and
the set of buildings was burned to the
ground. A number Of the live stock were
found to have been killed by the lightning
when an attempt was made to liberate
them. The loss was $1,000. All wires are
working badly. -
During the first Of the storm it was dis
covered that the Pressey lime KIN sheqS
were ablaze. While the damage was only
slight there is no doubt that this fire
was of incendary origin, as was the one
in the fruit store during the progress OF
