WEST POINT, Va. July 3.-The regent
Arcanum Council have notified its mem
ibers that the Marine Bank at Norfolk,
Va, Colonel Walter H. Taylor, president,
has. consented to become custodian OF
funds which the members Of the Royal
5Arcanuln are raising with which to en-
against the recent ruling OF the Supreme
Council Of that order regarding assess
sments.
A nucleus has already been put In the
Marine Bank, at Norfolk. around which
other Royal Arcanumites are invited to
add sufficient sum TO employ counsel
to bring it before the Federal courts.

A very severe electric storm hung over
West Point Sunday evening and night,
down pour Of rain continued far into the
night. The lightning struck the house Of
Oliver Arrnistead, colored. and set t on
fire; The fire was soon extinguished,
without much damage. Later It was
found that the c same bolt had struck the
shiyering q window, tearing down plas-
tering. leaving on the opposite side of tho
house through the wall, knocking down
tplastering and ripping or weather-b board
ing. No one was hurt.
Miss Crystal Farlnholt was In the
room, sick in bed; the family had shut
tho window and were at supper In the
room below. The smell of sulphur and
smoke was much In evidence that the
house for time was supposed to be on
fire; however, there was no other eVi-
dence of fire. Several other places were
struck, with no special damage done. ES
