DEATH OF CAPT. N. B. BROWARD.

Napolean Bonaparte Broward, Ex-Governor
of Florida died in Jacksonville October 1st
from complication of diseases. from which he
had suffered for some time. Had he lived un-
til April the Legislature would have formally
elected him to the United States Senate to sue
ceed Senator James P. Taliaferro. whom he de-
feated for the Democratic nomination in the
spring primaries. The Jacksonville Metropolis
says:
The State Democratic executive committee
probably will call another primary election for
the nomination of successor to the nominee,
or the matter will be left to the decision of the
Legislature entirely. The most Democratic
and convenient plan, it would seem, would be
to hold the primary on the day of the national
election in November. Several candidates for
the position will doubtless announce within a
few days.
Capt Broward was known to many of our
seafarers as pilot and tug boat captain on
the St. John, Fla, river.

Miss lnez l.. Barker, Horace Atkinson and
Charles Atkinson Injured, but not Seri-
ously.
Miss Inez l.. Barker was injured by light
ming in the shower last Saturday afternoon
about o'clock, at the home of her sister, Mrs.
Belle Atkinson, in North Searsmont. The
lightning entered the house the telephone,
wire, striking Miss Barker in the back of the
neck tearing off all her clothing but one stock
ing, running everything she had on but her
shoes and burning her body badly. She fell to
the floor unconscious and was taken up as
dead, but soon regained consciousness and
Monday morning telephoned to friends in
Belfast, that she felt no i'll effects from the
shock. Her escape from death was remarkable.
The lightning passed from her to Horace At
kinson, who sat near her, who was struck at the
knee the bolt passing down his leg to his feet
burning both feet quite badly. His trousers
were torn and his shoes and stockings torn off
his feet. Then it crossed the room striking
Mr. Charles Atkinson on the shoulder, passing
down his body to his foot, coming out through
his shoe and burning him the entire distance.
He was thought to be dying. His shirt, trousers
and shoe were torn. Other members of the
family in the room and about the premises were
not affected. Mr.. Atkinson had watch in his
pocket and portion of the case was melted.
The phone was burned and could not be used.
DR.. Holt of Liberty was called and all were
made as comfortable as could be expected but
at this writing. Saturday afternoon, are in
weak and exhausted condition.
