Damage bY Lightnins.


Fifty nuns at the convent of the
Sisters Of Mercy, near Merton, Pa,
fought with flames which threatened to
destroy a portion of the buildings yester'
day afternoon during heavy thunder
storm and with hand extinguishers kept
the fire 10 check putil the arrival OF the
Narbeth and Cynwyd are companies.
During the storm flames we're seea 20
burst out from the ground floor OF the
frame boarding house used by the boys
department. The lightning had struck
the building snd, running 10 the ground,
struck gas meter, exploding it. While
some of the Sisters carried out bedding
and other household effects, others brave
iy plunged into the smoke filed rooms
and began 10 play upon the hre with the
extinguishers. The FIRE slowly ate its
way toward the upper stories, but before
any great damage could be done the
6Femeu had conquered it. Little dam
age was done in the upper hoors and the
furniture was returned to the house by
the Sisters. The kitchen aud one room
on the first floor we're ruined by the pre-
and water.
Lightning was particularly severe
along the New Jersey coast yesterday
afterpoon. A bolt hit the flag pole IN
Ocean Park, aud shattered it to within
10 teet of the ground. Four men engaged
10 laying concrete walks, who had sought
shelter under under a roof nearby, we're
badly stunned, while several hundred
men, women and children, who had
gathered 10 the casido, we're frantic for
time, believing that the building had
been struck.
Salisbury, Md, was visited by severe
storm yesterday afternoon about 4:SO
O'Clock. The sleeple OF the Asbury
Methodist Episcopal Church was struck
by lightning, the slate and metal cap
ping on the steeple was torn down on
one side and some pieces of slate were
blown 100 feet away.

and killed two ine cows at the dairy

in a lot separated from herd OF
about sixty, and we're standing between

struck a barb-wire fence some distance

Men in the City Interested in
Fast Horses are Organizing
for Summer Months
TO REPAIR THE Balm TRACK
Plans Made for Matinee Races During
the Summer Months-Or ganiza-
tion Will be Made a Pe-r1a-
nent One for County

Plans have been completed for the
organization of 'sThe Gentlemen's
Driving Club of Kenosha' and in
few days an application will be made
for state charter for the new organ
ization. The plans for the club have
been under consideration by the horse
owners IN the city and county for the
past two weeks and the sentime Mt is so
strong in favor of the plan that the
organization will be completed at
once. During the last few weeks the
men in the city who are interested in
the breeding of fast horses have been
holding racing matinees on Durkee
avenue and these have proved so
interesting that the horsemen plan to
make the matinees permanent thing
in Kenosha. Already more than forty
people interested in the horses have
signed the call for the organization
and nearly five hundred dollars has
been subscribed toward the fund for
building track. 1t is understood
that the organization is to secure the
use of the old Balm track on Grand
avenue which was formerly one of
the best mile tracks in the state. In
securing the track it is distinctly
understood that the track is not to be
used for racing meets at which an
admission is charged but wholly as a
track. This, however, will
not interfere with the members of the
association holding meets open to
members only and to which no admiss-
ion will be charged. A thousand dol
lars will be neededto place the track in
good condition and it is thought that
this amount can be raised without
any trouble.
Sheriff j. H. Veitch, Deputy Sheriff
Henry Tirnne, Charles Hollister, c.
w. Allen, Edward Letsome and An
drew Hildebrande are taking an
active part in the proposed organiza-
ton. All of these men have horses
which can step a mile under two
thirty
In past years the Kenosha horse
men have had the Uh1eiu track at
their disposal during the summer
months but this track is used largely
for the training Of the Uhlein horse
and for this reason it is not always
open 10 the Kenosha men.
The men leading in the formation of
the organization hope to be able to an
nounce definite plans within the next
ten days but there is no doubt but
that the organization will be formed
and that it will prove successful

TOUCHES ALL LAKES
Preliminary Survey for Kenosha
and Lake Geneva R. R. is
Approved by Recorders
LONG LINE BEING LAID OUT

The preliminary survey for the pro-
posed line of the Chicago, Kenosha,
Milwaukee and Lake Geneva Railway,
which is now being made, has
aroused enthusiasm among the peo-
pie in the western part of the county,
aid especially those who are inter
ested directly in the lake districts.
James Fl. McVey, Of Camp Lake, the
proprietor of the Camp Lake hotel,
was in the city today, and he stated
that the people IN that section Of the
county were anxious to secure closer
relations with Kenosha, and that the
Kenosha and Lake Geneva seems to
solve the problem. The preliminary
survey, which is now being made, pro-
vides for the building of line
straight west from the city to Pad
docks Lake. This will be the first of
long series of lakes touched by the
line. From Paddock's Lake it is
planned to extend the line to Salem,
where Hooker Lake and several other
small lakes are located. From Salem
the line is to run to Camp Lake, and
from Camp Lake to the resorts at Sill
yer Lake. From Silver Lake the
route proposed leads over TO Wilmot,
and from Wi1mot to Twin Lakes, and
thence to Powers Lake and Lake
Geneva,
This route includes every important
resort center In KenoSha county. 1t
is possib bic that the line will be turned
little to the south IN order to take
in number of the smaller lakes in
Northern Illinois and the village of
Antioch. This village has big sum
n1er resort business, and at the pres
ent time it is very difficult for resort
ers to reach the village.
The line will open up for Kenosha
trade a country which has largely
been left without development in the
past few years. The line to Powers
Lake, Wilmot and Camp Lake will be
especially valuable, as these COM
munities IN the past have been prac-
tical1y without direct connection
with Kenosha.
The managers of the different re-
sorts in the county see in the line a
great aid to their business, and it is
probable that all of these people will
be allies of the railway company, It
is not thought that the company will
have difficult time securing the
right of way necessary for the build
ing of the road. Kenosha people
would welcome the building of the
line TO Paddock's Lake. as that lake
has always been one of the favorite
pleasure grounds for the people of,the
city, and the Old Settlers club would
reap a big harvest when the line is
ready for use.
It is possible that this survey will
not meet with the demands of the Off
Gals of the new company, but the
route laid out is certainly one of the
best that could be selected as a con-
nection for Kenosha and Lake
Geneva

Original Moaning of "Snob."

'Snoh," meant originally, in the land
Of it's origin, a person Of plebeian sta
ton, considered from the height of
birth" 1t was word used with the
downward eye and upward nose of SUI
peTfor station, or assigned to the
naughty by popular convention Then
Thackeray took it, and rebuked with
it the social ambitions of the vulgar.
Surely he made too much of those I'm
easy aspirations. He could not write
more than page or two without stir
ring up the snob and his absurdities,
and that left-motif becomes importrln-
ate and tedious. Now Paris has mis-
understood the word roundly, and in
the art and letters of that city s'snob''
and ''snobbers" are the words most in
yogue.-London Chronicle.
