churches, st. Paul's Lutheran, this city.

discovered for hours after the storm
had passed.

blaze was discovered in st. Paul's. At
5 o'clock last night lightning struck
the steeple Of Wesley Church. About

MUSIC SAVES LIVES AS
LIGHTNING HITS CHURCH.
Panic in Edifce-Many Hurt.
Structure Burns.

TRENTON, June 13.-The playing OF
the Star spang1ed Banner" served to
stave off a panic in the Baptist Church
at Hightstown, into which more than
a thousand persons mad packed them
selves last night to ear the commence
ment exercises of Peddie Institute.
The proceedings were scarcely under
way when a bolt of lightning that pre-
coded a terrific clap of thunder rent
the steeple above the church and in
stantly extinguished every Light in the
building. The inevitable cry of fire
was raised in the rear of the church,
but almost before 1t was uttered the
orchestra struck up in the darkness
the opening strains of the popular
anthem. The effect was magical.
Lamps were lighted and the chances
of an orderly exit from the church
seemed bright when there came again
the terrified cry of fire. Men and
women made a wild rush for
the exits. During the panic
more than a score of women tainted,
and many of them had to be carried
from the building. In the melee dozens
were bruised and hurt, but, miraculous
ly, as II seemed, not one was seriously
injured.
While the audience was jamming its
way through the rear exits a fire kin
died by the lightning was eating up
the steeple that reared itself 1856 feet
from the ground above the church. The
fire was too high for anything in
Hightstown to reach and a call for
help was sent to Trenton. The cleo
trical apparatus from this city was
sent out at once, but by the time the
sixteen miles had been covered there
was little left of the church to save.
The building was destroyed, the dam
age being $780, 900.
