SHIP STILL BURNING.
British Feur nastsr Was Struck by
 Lightning.

New York, Aug 2j.-The British four-masted ship Marlborough Hill. with a cargo of case oil and naphtha, which was set on fire by lightning shortly after midnight last night. was still burning to-day, nine hours later. when lowed from her anchorage off Tompkinsville to dock. Her upper works having burned away during the night, the oil ships hull was taken to a wrecking dock where water could be more easily poured into the hold. The vessel had to be almost filled with water before a towline could be at tached to her. and it was hoped that some of the cargo was submerged last night quickly enough to prevent total loss of the contents.

It is about as complete a work of devastation as could have been accomplished Tn 90 short time. for the duration of the hail storm was but a few minutes.

Ellington, Aug 25-On the NJ. IL Aborn farm men were busily engaged cutting tobacco when the storm came up. They drove their horses under a shed to protect themselves and the an imals from the rain. Lightning struck the shed, knocked down the horses and stunned the men. One of the ami malls was killed. but the other soon re- covered from the shock The men also were soon sufficiently recovered to resume work. The tobacco shed of Charles B. Sykes was struck and dam- aged.
 Hartford. Aug. 25-The Hartford Golf club was center for the fire works. The few members at the club. house were treated to an assortment of flashes which was very brilliant and quite terrifying. The exposed situation of the place probably had something to do with it for it is cer- tain that the club was in the very center of the storm. Lightning struck all around the premises
 At about 4:15 o'clock lightning struck the squash house, some fifty feet away from the main building. The effect was noticeable at once. Fully half the shingles on the roof were ripped off, and the main beams sup porting the roof were split and crack ed in all directions. It is estimated that fully 5000 damage was done to the house. The same flash gave J. F. Burns what was probably the most uncomfortable experience he ever had. He was in the barroom of the main building. some distance from the place where the lightning struck. He had metallic shaker in his hands. and was mixing a drink. When the lightning flashed he was spun violently around several times and the shaker was knocked forcibly out of his grasp. Beyond suffering from the nervous shock however. he was unin- jured.
 A few minutes later another stroke of lightning hit the premises, this time on the other side of the club house. It struck one of the upright supports of the netting surrounding the tennis courts, wrenched out sev- eral bolts and damages the post A caddy was sitting on the floor of the barn. waiting for prospective em- ployer. when he was lifted into the air by the force of the electric shock. The same flash destroyed the tele- phone connections and put out all the electric lights in the place. and as a result the golf club. was dark last night.
 One bolt struck a revolving clothes hanger in James l.. Babkirk's yard at No 51 Amlty street. Mrs Babkirk was standing In the back door of her house watching the storm. She was knocked back into the kitchen and made unconscious. She revived in a half hour and suffered no serious con sequences. The clothes hanger was wrecked.
