No. 11O2 Hull Street.
Mrs. w. III. Dickerson, living at Nine
teenth and Pocahnotas Streets. was
shocked into insensibility by lightning
last night, while standing out on the
porch of her house.
Mrs. Dickerson was in the porch when
the thunder storm came up. Blue
streaks Of lightning cut across the
heavens, sending the fash near the house
where it struck, and by the shock she
was rendered unconscious. DR.. w. P.
Mathews was called Immediately to the
scene, and rendered what aid was In his
power.
The storm last night was not a very
severe one and none thought there would
be any damage from it. Mrs. Dicker-
son was doing as nicely as could be ex-
pected late last night
ACCIDENT TO SMALL BOY.
The little son of Mrs. Alice Williams,
living at Nineteenth and Everett Streets,
met with a painful accident yesterday
afternoon by having his leg cut with
a nail DR.. Rucker was called to the
scene and made the child as comfortable
as possible. 1t seems that the little fell
low was playing out in the yard when
a piece of wood with nail therein flew
up and struck him on the leg, inflict-
ing a severe wound. Though painful,
it will by no means prove serious.
