LIGHTNING STRIKES CHURCH
Considerable Damage Done to Epis.
cOpal House of Worship.

During a heavy thunderstorm and
rain on Monday night, bolt Of light.
ming struck the Episcopal church, on
Pine street doing considerable damage.
A great hole was torn in the east
gable of the main building, and the
outer timbers were scattered for sew
eral yards around the building and
even into the street. while the inner
ceiling was shattered and tossed all
over the auditorium, breaking lamps
and other fragile furniture.
The usual freaks of lightning were
noticeable, for here and there all over
the interior, were evidences Of the
travels of the electricity, in loosened
mouldings, window Lodges and other
small projections. Another large rent
was made in the wall back of the organ,
where the ceiling was torn loose. a
small hole was torn in the roof of the
yestry, but the interior of this escaped
With only corner moulding and one
board of the window casing being torn
loose. In many places the weather
boarding at the base Of the building
was ripped away from the heavier
timbers,
While the damage is rather heavy
for a small church, the members real
ize that the escape from more serious
destruction was miraculous; probably
the heavy rainfall is the only thing
that kept it from burning
The loss is fully covered by insur-
ahce, sand ii 10 estimated that Sl00ewill
more than cover the damage

GOT A TEMPORARY INJUNCTION
commissioners Restrained From
Changing Road at Quay.

"A temporary injunction was issued
Saturday morning by Court Commits
sioner Fred Fee, enjoining the board
OF county commissioners from aban-
doning the old road from Quay station
to the river and establishing new
road and expanding money on same.
This is the outcome of petition
brought before the commissioners, ask
ing for the change of road, and later a
protest against such action. The board
overruled the protest, and declared the
new road public highway, and the
protestants brought suit through At.
torneys Parker and Broome. The
were represented by
F. L. Hemmings, but no fight was made
against the temporary injunction.
The case will be argued on itsmerits,
probably before Judge WALL of Tampa,
as Judge Jones is disqualified from sit
ing on the case, by reason of his son
being a party TO the suit
In this particular case it viii pay the
commissioners to lose the suit, for in
that case no money will have to be
spent on the new road or the old, for
the old one is in good condition, or so
