A TRAGEDY.


One Of the pathetic uncertainties to
which human existence is subjected Ia
set forth in the following item OF
news:
AT Martin Springs. Ca. last Friday
tending a Sunday school picnic were
shower lightning struck the tree. The
ssSssn to Sc fS Ssa in asss and
picnic party found that none had been
killed, but It was thought that six
would die. All the others were N
nine children the tree had been re-
produced by the lightning. The shoes
had been torn from the feet OF all the
children.
The extent Of that calamity was not
more marked than was its sudden and
unexpected descent. We can imagine
those sixteen children laughing. tank
ing and skylarking. as children Will.
with no thought Of danger or trouble
other than perhaps slight wetting
There was no notice, no premonition oil
danger. no chance Of escape. The dead
ly stroke came to item without even n
moments warning. and they went
down under It. Even II they do not die
It is more than likely that some CT
them. at least, will never entirely re-
cover from its effects. 1t was a re-
markable and horrible occurrence. and
also q warning for the future.
Az a general proposition one of the
most dangerous places during IN cleo
trio storm is under a tree. II the tree

ming but any Of them are unsafe. Any
one who has lived In the country and
noticed the numerous green trees that
have either been killed or SCARED by
lightning will understand the truth of
this statement. The country dweller
will see many large oaks and hick-
cries with the lightnings mark to
show its power and deadly effects.
And yet q tree with a thick ard
spreading top is the place thar most
people viii resort to when overtaksn
in the woods by a sudden shower. Es-
pecialiy is this true of children, who
in order to avoid q wetting, will hur-
ry to the nearest thick topped tree
they can find in order to keep dry. We
have heard and read of numerous In
stances OF people being struck under
such conditions. but never of one tc
compare in horrible effects with tbs
Georgia incident. 1t was such a trag.
edy as We do not remember to have
ever heard or read of from the sanls
cause. And yet. on reelection, 1t wa.
catastrophe, fearful as 1t was. thai
might at any time be repeated unde,

fair Is: Never get under a tree IN {

Rrrur. About Lee,s surrender.

Chattanooga News.
Careless writer's are creating an impreu-
sion that General Robert E. Lee surrendered
his sword TO General Grant at Appomattox.
They have alluded TO General Fred Grant, as
the son Of the man who took Lees sword.
and so on As matter Of fact. General
Grant did not receive Lees sword neither
aid he demand II. The Confederates who
surrendered with Lee were permitted to re-
tain their side arms and disperse to their
homes This included swords OF course.
II is best TO be accurate in these matters,
to tell the, truth OF the surrender without
malice and without creating the impression
that the leader OF the Confederacy was hu-
inflated BY the FEDERAL General There
was nothing approaching humhlSAon n tae
ISs5. Lee had about aoee men. He was en-
yeloped by q force OF 10000. There waa
nothinw left for him to do but surrender
but he surrendered with honor. When he
read in the terms Of the Surrender that the
soldiers who surrendered with him were q
retain their side arms he remarked TO the
Federal OFFICERS that this provision would
have q happy effect on his men. And II ala
they felt more like going home than theS
would had they been dsnrtvsd o. theil

Barrett to Jail for Intimating that the
court had admitted trivial matter. The
court said that allowance had been
made for Mr.. Heney's temueramental
