10 DAMAGE HERE
BY LIGHTNING BOLTS

Wilmington was visited yesterday
BY a strange phenomena. Two severe
electrical storms struck the city at
the same time, and residents were
treated to a most brilliant electrical
display.
The sharp claps of thunder follow
ed by vivid flashes of lightning terri
fed some OF the timid, but despite all
the noise and bluster made by the
storm very little damage was done.
The day was intensely hot, but
slight breeze which blew in fits i'm
proved conditions somewhat COM
pared with the day before. Shortly
before o'clock the storm announced
its appearance in the western Skies
where black clouds were banked
This heavy bank travelled eastward
at a fast pace, and as it did another
storm, brewing in the north, came
down the Delaware river and for a
few minutes it seemed as If the two
storms were racing to see which
could reach the city first. When the
storms came together the battle of
the elements began. Lightning
dashed and thunder roared.
Both storms we're preceded by a
strong wind and a heavy downpour
of rain. The streets were like mill
dams. Cooler weather came in the
wake of the storm.
Tho storms caused little damage
despite their apparent energy.
Lightning struck distributing pole at
Twenty-fifth and Market streets, and
there was a brilliant display at that
point by lightning running along the
wires.
All the lights in the Brandywine
Fire Companys house were put out
Of commission and the same thing
occurred at St. Johns Church and in
many houses and stores using cleo
tricity for lighting in that portion of
