FREAK OF LIGHTNING STORM
Ball of Fire Falls in street and
Woman Declares She Has
Been struck.

A strange freak of lightning was no.
ticed Monday evening at Twenty-fourth
street and Capitol avenue. 1t was about 8
o'clock. when heavy clouds were passing
over the sky. ball Of fire descended
straight from the heavens and fell in the
street near where some boys we're playing.
There was glaring flash as It fell, re-
port as of gun when 1t struck, and a
loud peal of thunder almost Immediately
after. B. c. Wade was sitting on his porch
when the phenomenon occurred. The
strangest feature of 1t is that while none
of the boys playing near were injured, a
woman rushed out of a house across the
street and said she had been struck by
lightning She was sitting at her sewing
machine when she felt shock which be-
numbed her arms from her hands to the
shoulders She soon recovered.
The boys noticed that large number of
small objects fell with the flash, and pick
ing them UP, they found them to be some
slaty substance. They are supposed to be
from the covering of an electric light
cable which runs overhead. There was no
damage, either to lights or telephones in
the vicinity

eAYNoR AND GREENE RETURN
ExtraditiOn Of Americans Fleeing to
Canada TO Escape Trial Is
ordered.

MONTREAL, Que June 6-Judge La
fontaine, extradtion commissioner, today
gave judgment in the case Of the United
States against John F. Gaynor and Ben
janin d. Greene committing both for
extradition and ordering them back to
Jail to await surrender to United States
officers.
In rendering judgment Judge Lafontaine
spoke for two hours and a half. Summing
up he said:
My conclusion is that the allegation Of
the conspiracy to defrRud the United
States as being in existence between Car
ter and the accused on or about July l,
1897, is proved to the hilt that Carter,
public officer and agent and trustee of
the United states, was convicted in the
United States of fraud, as declared by the
United States supreme court in the case
Of Carter. against MCBaughry; that this
offense of fraud and participation therein
are punishable by the laws of both Canada
and the demanding country, that the ac-
cused have participated In the offense OF
fraud committed by Carter, for which he
was so convicted; that fraud by an agent
and trustee and participation therein are
extraditabe crimes.
Second-That Carter was guilty in the
United States and convicted of embezzle-
ment. which offense is known under our
law by the term of theft, the difference in
the name of the offense in the two Coun-
tries being immaterial; that the accused
have participated by their conspiracy with
Carter in the embezzlement so committed
by him; that such participation is punish
able by the laws of both countries and ia
an extraditable crime.
Third-That on July 6, 1897, the accused
| fraudulently received from Carter the sum
of 1915, ,74s 30, knowing then that the same
had been embezzled (stolen) by him, and
| that the offense of receiving stolen prop
| erty is punishable under the laws of both
countries and is by the treaty (section 81
and eXtraditon crime.
Consequently l determine that the ac.
cused must be committed to Jail pending
| surrender
