thunderstorm, accompanied by a high
wind, struck this section Sunday after
noon and besides killing one man did
considerable property damage.
Milton w. Robinson, a resident of
park with a party of friends for an
afternoon enjoyment. When the storm
came up Robinson sought shelter from
the drenching rain under a big ash tree
in Panther hollow. He had been there
but moment when lightning struck
the tree, literally tearing it to pieces
and killing Robinson instantly. Rob-
insons four or five friends, who were
within twenty-five feet of him at the
time. escaped without even a shock
from the bolt.
At Braddock lightning struck a street
car on the McKeesport branch of the
Pittsburg Railroad company and caus-
ed a panic among the passengers,
many of the men jumping from the
car as it sped down the HILL Three
of them were pretty badly bruised
and Christopher O'Toole, who fell on
his head, is perhaps fatally hurt. The
women passengers tried to jump also,
but were prevented by some of the
cooler headed among the men. Much
damage was done to shade trees, many
being blown down, and several were
split in twain by lightning. The rain
storm was followed by a hailstorm.

euReLARIcs At NEW HAVEN
Two Stores Robbed Close to POIice
Headquarters.

Two Stores Robbed Close to Police
Headquarters.
NEW HAVEN, Conn, May %. =
With only a little more than a city
block separating them from police
headquarters burglars some time be-
tween midnight and o'clock Sunday
morning entered the big grocery store
of S. s. Adams at the corner of State
and Court streets and blew open the
safe. They secured about $500 here
and then went next door to the store
of Knapp & Co. and broke open a
small safe. The amount they secured
here was quite small, probably $40 or
$50
The robbery was most daring and
was the work of experts The door
to large iron safe containing the pro-
ceeds of the days business was blown
off, presumably by dynamite. Their
entrance into the Knapp store was
made in a similar manner.
The stores which were entered by
the burglars are in the center of the
business district of the city, and they
are scarcely 100 yards away from Npo-
lice headquarters. Patrolmen pass the
vicinity frequently during the evening
and after midnight try all the doors of
the stores.
The burglars left no clew on which
the detectives can work, and at the
present time the matter is mystery.

Profitable Placer Mining.

Ed. McGrath of Reno is here with
crew of men surveying a ditch for
mining purposes on the east fork of
the Carson river for F. c. Everett A
large force of men will be put to work
constructing the ditch in a few days,
which will be nearly two miles long.
Mr.. Everett's company is said to have
a working capital of 100000. He pro-
poses installing an elevator with a
capacity of handling 5000 tons daily,
the elevator to be operated on the
same plan as those in the G. & c. shaft
at Virginia City. The gold bearing
gravel and dirt will be forced upward
to a hight of 80 feet by hydraulic
pressure and dropped on revolving
screens, to dispose of the coarser ma
terial, while the screenings will fall
into a tank from which they win be
piped, down on concentrating tables,
which will concentrate 800 tons into
one. The concentrates will then be
ground in amalgamating pans. The
estimated cost of the ditch and plant
with the necessary buildings, etc, for
the miners, is $50 00.-Enterprise.

QUEER PROCEEDINGS
Virginia Chronicle Claim Irreg-
ularities i'm Examinations.

The competitive examinations for
appointment at the Annapolis naval
academy has been concluded and G.
E. Palmer Of Reno and Mr.. Shonerd
of Carlin have successfully passed
the tests. Both are freshmen at the
University. After the examination
papers were corrected by the examin-
ing committee last Monday, it was
found that Palmer and Beekert had
stood the same average. Later it was
announced that Beekert had received
the appointment and he was so in
formed by wire. Yesterday morning
he learned in a roundabout way that
denominations were to be held at l
O'Clock yesterday afternoon in Reno.
Accompanied by his father he drove
over the grade and reached there in
time to be informed that the examin-
ing board had gone over the papers,
and, by one of those queer methods
of which only themselves know any,
thing about and of which nobody else
is supposed to know anything, had
found that Beckert's average was l
per cent lower than Palmer's. He was
also informed that Palmer had been
appointed and he tBeekerD alternate;
but as his papers had been destroyed
he would have to take more examina-
tions before he could even receive
the place of alternate. He is in Reno
today taking the examinations. The
young man is rightfully indignant
over the treatment he has received
at the hands of the examining COM
mittee.-Chronicle.

HULSE BECOMES MANIAC.

BAKERSFIELD. Cal, April 22.-Al
Hulse. the ex-convict accused of the
murder of Deputy Sheriff viii Tibbet
and City Marshal Packard, has be-
come a raving maniac in the county
Jail. Last night about midnight he
began shrieking for help, declaring he
was entirely innocent and begging the
officers TO take him out of the Jail
His rawlings and cries continued for
the remainder of the night, and this
morning he is still wild, although he
has exhausted himself and is forced to
keep more quiet for awhile.
Hulse is a confirmed dope fiend, and
1t is thought the deprivation of the
drug during his Imprisonment is what
is really the matter with him, as
Sheriff Kelly absolutely refuses to al
low the use of narcotics to any prison
er. 1t is likely that conscience and
terror also have something to do with
his condition. No one believes that
he is insane, although he may try
to act so.
