Everybody in town, and tfor miles
around were awakened about O'Clock
Sunday morning by rip-roaring
double-triggered, back-action, treble
barreled clap of thunder that seemed
to lift them out of bed. All knew that
that bolt of lightning hit next door;
but Will Pyle and wife of the End
ward were just a little closer than
s'next door,. The bolt hit the roof of
the kitchen, tore off couple of shin
giles then ran down the door Jam,
through the pantry and a closet and
into the bed room where they were
sleeping. The metal knobs on a dres-
ser were melted but no other damage
done in the bed-chamber. Mr.. and
Mrs. Pyle think that the fact that they
were sleeping on feather bed was
the only thing that saved them.

vessels. The Old Dominion has tied up
five steamers that ply between Norfolk

pretty badly ilterferred with.
Thirv-SeVep steam vessels are tied
up at this port today as a result of the
refusal OF the vessel-Owners to grant
the new schedule of wages adopted by

Most Of the vessels are tug boats iE

The KischeneH Horror.

Washington, June 2.-SimOn Wolf has
written 10 Secretary Hay asking him
to mak an appointment to receive the
executive committee Of the B'Nai
Birth which desires to make certain
representations TO the secretary respect
ing the treatment Of the Jews in Rus
STA. The committee is understood to be
fortified with a large mass Of detailed
testimony respecting the terrible hap
penings at Kischineff. The secretary
has accordingly appointed Monday,
June 18th as the date for the confer
ence.
There is no diminution in the number
OF letters directed to Secretary Hay
respecting this Kischeneff affair, not
only from prominent Jews but from
Christians of high station. 1t has beer
impossible for t4e department to reply
to these separately and IL mas been oo-
liged to content itself with semi-ofhclal
statements in the press pointing out
the impossibility OF its direct interfer-
ence with the Russian internal affairs.
