The storm of thunder, lightning and
hail last Friday night was pretty
hard one in sections tributary to
Princeton. There was sharp fall of
hail at Princeton for few minutes but
not enough to do any great damage,
but at Spencer Brook and at other
points the hail did much damage. At
the Brook Ernest Ellingwood and Eu-
gene Clough sustained considerable
damage to crops. Gardens were hit
hard and corn and potatoes suffered
some.

They Make Night Hideous

When the average man has retired
for the night it is presumed that he
has done so for the purpose of en-
joying a nights rest, but such is not
the case with the residents in a GER
tain section of the city. Sleep is al
most impossible at times for the noise
occasioned by the incessant barking
of dogs-small dogs, large dogs and
dogs of all descriptions. OF course
this begins at the early hour of mid
night, some barking, others yelping
and bowling. Another can be seen
taking stroll around the square MAX
ing a noise resembling a fog-h horn that
can be heard mile away.
These fancy pets make all indescrib-
able noises, much TO the enjoyment of
the slumberer, who has probably re-
tired three hours before this ear
splitting, rest breaking noise begins.
The ki-yi. bow-wow, yelp-yelp and
who-o-o-o noise is so immensely enjoy
ed by the residents of this section that
they have partly decided to purchase
them from their ever-considerate l?)
owners and start dog show. They
need no training, as they are already
trained, and if anyone wants to hear
q dog solo. duet. quartette or sextette,
let them visit that part Of the city at
the bed time hour Of IL midnight.

Preaches On The Destruction OF
The Wickcd-At Maryland
Avenue Church.

Yesterday morning the Rev. Mr.
LawrensOn, of Washington, ID. o.,
preached at the Md Avenue Church.
His text was taken from Ezekial 9th
chap. 1-2-3 verses He cried also in
mine ear, cause them that have charge
of the city, TO draw near every man,
and every man with his destroying
weapon in his hand. - Mr.. Lawren-
son said in part:
"To understand the circumstances
of this terrible command and the APP
plication to our own time, we must
know something of the state of affairs
in the Holy City fat that time. The
prophet had been carried by the spirit
of God up into higher regions where
it was revealed the condition of the
people of the city. He saw the in
creasing crime and idolatry of the
people. He saw murder, blasphemy
the people with their back turned to-
ward God and worshipping the Sun,
the priests of the people with censor in
their hands offering incense to all
manner OF ceeping animals. The Lord
had showed mercy and blessing on the
children of Israel and vet they had
turned from Him. Now He had given
the order that they should be destroy
ed and that without mercy
Mercy had been granted them, but
they had not accepted it. Now the
time for mercy had passed. But
among all this terrible state of affairs
Gods people were there. Only few
perhaps, but they were there crying
for the day of the Lord. They had
seen the abomination of the city and
were mourning for it. The Lord had
heard their prayer and had sealed
them with His seal and commanded
that not one of them should be hurt
when the city was destroyed. Today
the conditions are much the same
The same crimes and blasphemy, the
same idolatry. Now is the day of
mercy; now is the accepted time. The
Lord has sworn vengeance against the
wicked and it will come. The Lord is
gracious in mercy, but he will not
hold His anger forever. The appoint
ed day is coming; it is nearer now
than ever. But even today the chosen
of God are crying out because of the
of the earth. The Lord
will hear their prayer and come and
receive them to himself. The destruc-
tion of the wicked is sure and the
time is at hand

ANOTHER SHARK CAPTURED
The Third of The Tribe Caught
This Season - Harpooned
Off The Dock.

While Messrs. Dan and Solomon
Burtis were ont in a small boaty ester
day morning about nine o'clock, near
Martins wharf in the harbor they
espied the dorsaI fin of shark swim
ming in the water. They soon pro-
vided themselves with long rope, to
one end of which was attached har-
poon, while the other end was made
fast to a small portable buoy. Thus
equipped they launched a boat in
hopes of capturing the fish.
When within striking distance Dan
iel Burtis hurled the harpoon deep in
to the flesh of the shark and at the
same instant the buoy was thrown

gan. The wounded fish dragged the
buoy over zigzag course nearly to

water in its wake into foam At

away and weakened by loss of blood.
the shark began TO show signs of capit-
ulation, and Harry Letourneau, who
was in the boat with the Messrs Bur
It's and Joseph jacobson and Joseph
Carroll, managed to get coil of rope
around il, but not before he had re-
ceiyed two vicious blows from the cap
tured creatures tail. The shark was
then towed ashore.
As soon as the harpoon struck it,
the shark started across the harbor at
great speed. The boat was pulled
over to the Eastport side, back TO An
napolis, down to the Naval Academy,
but the men stuck to it and at 10. 80
O'Clock tho shark became exhausted
and was towed to the dock, where it
required fifteen men to pull it ont of
the water. The shark measured seven
feet three inches and was quite young.

boat wharf, where one could have a
look at him by paying five cents A

was taken over to Fort Madison,
where it was cut mp today. This is the
