lentieth and One Hundred and Seven
,tyirst streets, the Bronx, stopped
work at 4:30 o'clock yesterday after
moon when a terrific storm swept up
There was no shelter In the uninish
ed houses and the men assembled
under a large maple tree in vacant
lot.
fhe storm apparently had passed at
Is o'clock and sixteen OF the men
started back to the buildings AT the
some time the foreman drove up with
their weeks wages and called "a
them TO hurry.
! Six of the men were slow in leav-
ing the shelter of the tree, although
the rain had stopped. Suddenly from
partly clear sky came a binding
flash, followed by report that was
not unlike tht bursting of a gun.
The six men under the tree toppled
over On a scaffold in the front OF
the buildings stood William Hammer,

realty company. He also fell uncon-
stious and was saved from plunging
cf the scaffold by beam.
The sixteen other workmen who
had returned TO draw their pay and
the foreman were stunned and for
several seconds unable to move or
speak.
So terrific was the lightning stroke
that il was felt in houses several
blocks distant The police came and
saw the six unconscious men under
the tree.
/ DR.. McSweeney, from Fordham hos.
pital. found one of the men dead,
Another died immediately after the
arrival OF the physician. The four
other men were revived. Two of
tbem were so badly frightened that
they made off as soon as they had
use of their legs, failing to draw their
ray or to give the police their names
Hammer also was revived
The men who died were Peter Ro-

Adam and Eve were in and at that

full of fruit and large shade trees;
there was some fruit in that garden

there was 100000 bonds voted TO

grow trees on hill of rock with

in this park to make suitable
