STRUCK BY LIGHTNING.
Messrs. Palmer And Tydings
Have Experience.

Lightning made two efforts last
night 70 destroy the working force Of
the Orphans Court and rs a result
two members had startling tales TO re-
late this morning. Judge Tydings
was. one of the victims. He was sit
ting in his house. in rather somnolent-
state, thinking of the morrow while
the thunder roared and the lightning
flashed.
Suddenly bright flash, succeeded
by deafening crash which nearly
knocked him from his chair, rocked
ghe house on the foundations. An ex-
animation revealed the fact that bolt
had struck a large chimney at one
corner of the house and hurled two
courses of brick, twenty feet in
height, distance Of over fifty feet.
IL had then jumped to a locust tree
and ripped the bark from one side,
the bark falling in a shower onto the
porch. No ZONE was injured and the
house was not set on fire, but the in
mates Of the house received a very
bad scare.
About tie same time lightning
struck the house of Mr.. Luther A.
Palmer, register of wills. 1t passed
along the roof of the house, tearing
mp the metal sheathing for consid-
erable distance, coursed across a
lower roof and then went into a sewer
pipe at the rear of the house, which
It shattered and scattered about. The
telephone. bell rang and other parties
the same line were warned Of the
proximity Of the bolt by the violent
ringing of their bells.
| MUCK hail fell in all parts Of the
county, but as the buds on fruit trees
have not yet opened little damage was
done. This morning it warmed up so
rapidly that many peach and cherry
blossoms opened. The bees have been
hustling for honey for some time and
as the buds are opening gradually little
damage will result should there be a
heavy freeze.

Fire on Green Street

A slight fire occurred on Green
street this afternoon. and at first prom
ised to be a serious confagration, but
for the quick response of the three fire
companies. The fire originated in an
unused back kitchen of the house Of
q. o. Weldon, opposite the public
school. 1t is thought to have been
caused by spontaneous combustion, as
the outhouse was used for storage and
contained quantity of articles.
The fire was soon extinguished, but
not before Main street was black with
smoke, and crowds of several hundred
people had gathered. There was no
excitement at the school. The first
man on the scene of the fire was Mr.
A. NJ. Parkinson. who started bucket
brigade aud did effective service un-
til the arrival of the fire department,
which put the fire out. The house be-
longs to the Gotscahlk estate.

J. Dep. DOUW RESIGNS.
Succeeded BY ]. Oliver Martin
on Board of Election
Supervisors.

A very interesting opinion was re.
ceived today at the meeting of the
Board of Supervisors of Election
with reference TO the applicability of
the recently enacted primary law to
city elections. The opinion was rem
dered by Mr.. Ridgely =. Melvin,
counsel to the board. who had been
asked as to whether or not the man
ner of conducting primaries as set
forth under the primary law enacted
at the last session of the legislature
referred TO city elections
Mr.. Melvin gave an opinion which
Is ooncurred in to a great extent by
other members of the bar of both par
ties that the law does not apply to
city primaries. The law states what
shall be the duty of the board of SUI
pervisors, but as matter of fact the
supervisors of election have nothing
to do with the primary elections or
any other election in the city of An
napolis, the law apparently being en-
acted To cover the matter OF contests
in county elections.
The law, outside of it's applicability
to city primaries, is rather loosely
drawn, as it calls for the appointment
of election officers for each faction
when asked for, but as to what is a
faction there is no explanation. Four
persons could legally be called a fac.
tion, which might result in the ap-
pointment of so many election officers
that the city or county could not stand
the expense.
Little other work was transacted by
the board, but great surprise was ex-
pressed upon the reception of the res
sipnatiou Of Mr. Juhn dep DOuU as
clerk Mr.. Douw has been one of the
best clerks of the board and has tried
to get in a resignation for the past
two years. He was heartily felicitated
upon the good service he had done.
Mr. Douw found this step necessary
at this time, as he is candidate for
the nomination for Mayor. Mr.. j.
Oliver Martin was elected to fill the
position and will enter upon the dis
charge Of his duties at once. There
will be little work for the election
judges to do until shortly before the
county primaries.

A Runaway Horse

a white horse attached to a buggy
driven by Mr.. Will Werntz, of the
county, took fright this afternoon on
West street and tore at break meek
speed around Church Circle. In the
meantime the driver did all ia his
power to hold the animal and was
about to break his speed when the
horse ran into a team standing on the
south side of the circle. The owner
of the team that caused the collision
could not be found. Neither team
was damaged. but Mr.. Werntz's horse
was cut on the leg. The horse is said
to have been bitched too close to the
buggy.

Why It IS Not Disturbed.

At that time there was mono Of
the bitter feeling against Russia
which afterwards developed. and
Japan was struggling half shame facedly
to escape from all her old feudal pecu-
liarities and practices. Tho Emperor has
shown himself to his people and all things
were new. 80 1t was decided that the
Russians should have the high ground
just over east OF the palace gardens for
their cathedral. 1t was the choicest
spot in the city and with great rejoicing
Father Nlcolai and his band OF converts
built tho imposing structure which smiles
insolently down upon the city to-day

toms that are dear to the heart OF tho

try: which would have mono Of our In
stitutions OF amusement; none OF our.
laws and customs which touch the pri-
vate personal . intimate life Of the in
dyidual; mono OF our extravagances and
this revolution, which developed along
with the sentiment against Russian arro-
gance and encroachment, soon discovered
that this temple OF a hated people and
moro or less despised faith stood above
the Emperor.s abode In insolent defiance
I. OF time honored Japanese sentiment and
the nation was moved to deep resent
ment. However, nothing has been done
and probably nothing ever will be. to
correct this unfortunate mistake, for
think Japan would rather suffer the loss
OF many time honored sentiments than
to do anything which would not win
the applause Of the world.
In most inconsequent matters the coun-
try acts very much like matinee idol
who has been spoiled by too much praise
and If were a cartoonist would draw

with very much the same bored aid OF

But Japan knows her role thoroughly and
she will allow no small personal bitter
ness to cause her to forget It. There
Is q story of two Japanese priests who
were caught In "Nicorai'' preparing GRIM

lines. They were arrested. but at that
point their story seems to end. It 10

but this seems uncertain, for was told

were ever two such men,. S5s.
But be, that as It may the Russian

secluslon prays for the souls of slain
Christians and pagans and q speedy con-
