During the severe electric storm
that passed over this section about 4
o'clock yesterday afternoon George
T. Brewster, ST., a sculptor, and two
assistants, named Allen and Guilgmo,
working in the formers studio on
the sound near the former Bay Cliff
Park, T~ottenville, received a shock
that stunned and almost sent them
Keeling to the floor. 1t Is believed
that a bolt Of lightning struck the
telephone wire and passed into the
building, where 1t grounded in the
instrument. Mr.. Brewster, when
seen last night at his residence, said
for a few seconds everything was
dark before him and all three
thought the building where the
studio is situated had been struck.
An investigation was made but no.
where could it be found where the
lightning had done any damage. All
three of the men are expert sculptors
and at the time were working on
some large pieces. 1t was when the
heavy crash came that resounded for
several seconds that the three men
felt the shock. None Of them felt
any bad effects afterward.
