HITS TAMMANY HALL.
Lightning Plays Over New York As
Minutes.

New York, Aug. 2-Considerable dam
age was done in widely separated parts
of the city during an electrical storm.
Both hagstaffs on the pOStoffice build
ing in lower New York were struck
and man on the top of the building
was dangerously shocked and burned
about the head.
A bolt struck the Third avenue ele-
waited structure near Fiftieth street,
ran along and set fire to the sleepers,
causing a lively pyrotechnic display.
the electricity then ran down one of
the pillars to the ground.
The big flag pole on top of the fam
GUS fiat iron building at Broadway and
Twenty-third street was struck, a piece
more than fifteen feet long being splin-
tered. fragments falling on both sides
of the building to the streets far below.
One splinter grazed the arm of police
man, but no one else was hit. Several
flag poles in various parts of the city
were shattered by lightning and many
dwelling houses were struck.
During the fOrty-five minutes the
storm continued nearly two inches of
water fell flooding cellars and streets
on Manhattan island so that traffic was
seriously impeded. The Brooklyn bridge
entrance was filled with water and in
the financial section the water poured
into several Easements, flooding both
telegraph offices in the stock exchange
building and seriously hampering COM
munieations by wire during the last
hour of business.
LlSnlHlilS SITuch the NdTIlSn WOTkS
of Smith q Co, in Long Island City,
and for a time much property was in
danger. The blaze was confined to the
Smith works, however. The loss is
$50, 900.
During the storm the fiagpole sur
mounting Tammany hall was struck by
lightning and the big ball at the top
crashed to the street, but no one was
injured.
Frank T. Brooks of Jersey City was
struck by lightning while on the street
and dangerously injured. Thomas Far
ley and Charles Sharpley, employees of
the New York street cleaning depart
ment, were driving metallic carts when
lightning struck them and Farley was
dangerously and Sharpley probably
hurt. Il
At Midtown lightning killed Edward
J. Wilkinson and his daughter Martha,
while they were sitting under a tent.

School Tax Levy Stands at Is
Mills.
of Expenses Shows a
Slight Decrease.
TEACHERS TO GET MORE
They Will Receive Sll3,OOO
Next Year.
This Is About $l3, 900 More
Than Last Year.

On the recommendation of Edward
Wilder, chairman of the finance COM
mittee, the board of education de-
cided at the meeting held last night
that the tax levy for school purpose,
in Topeka, for the coming year should
be 16 mills. the same as has been the
levy for the past two years.
Mr.. Wilder brought the matter be-
fore the board by a motion that the
levy for the general fund be IL mills,
the levy for building fund be a mill
and a half, the levy for the interest
and sinking fund be two mills and
the levy for the maintenance of man
ual training be one-half mill. The
levy for manual training is made for
the first time this year, as provided
for by the last legislature. The mill
and a half levy for the building fund
is a mill and half less than the levy
last year and the sinking fund levy is
a mill more than last year.
There was no strong opposition to
Mr.. Wilders motion, but some mem
bers questioned whether the levy
would be sufficient. Mr.. Wilder
thought that the total levy of 1 6 mills,
as divided between the various funds
was large enough to meet the ex-
penses of the coming year and he did
not think it advisable to increase the
total levy.

and the estimate of the expenses for

Daughter of Mark Twain Sustains
Fracture of Ankle.

Lenox, Mass, Aug. At has devel-
oped that Miss Julia Langdon of New

and injured by a trolley car in Southled
is Miss Jane Clemens, daughter of Sam

Miss Clemens had a remarkable eS-

was fractured.
Mr.. Glider said the reason his sor

MUCH WORK TIED UP.
Building Trades Alliance of Seventeen
Unions on a Strike.

New York. Aug. 2.-The building
trades alliance made up of IT unions has
declared strike against the George A.
Fuller Construction company and work
was tied up upon these buildings:
The Times building, Forty-second
street and Broadway; Sturtevant build
ing. Twenty-ninth street and Broad
way; Trinity building, next to Trinity
church; New York Hippodrome, Forty
third street and Broadway and Taber
building, Wall and Pearl streets.
Philip Weinsheimer, president of the
building trades who declared the strike
on the subway last week, is responsible
for the strike. The reason given for
calling out the men was because of a
claim that the Fuller company has been
using stone from nOnunion quarrieS and
trimming yards. In some quarters it is
said that the actual reason for the
strike was a fear that the building
trades employers association would de-
clare a lockout,
