AN ELECTRICAL STORM. Last Friday night
following an unusually hot and muggy day
this city and section was visited by severe
electrical storm, accompanied by down pour
of rain. 1t began about 10 p. m. with distant
rumbings and lasted for nearly an hour. There
was one tremendous peal of thunder that
sounded like the report of monster cannon
The electric lights went out at the residence
of DR.. Flanders, but no damage was done. The
lightning struck at the home of Capt. J. o.
Hayes on Bayview street, but the family were
not aware of it until Mrs. Hayes on going to
the kitchen Saturday morning discovered that
the entire lining of the range was torn out and
broken into tiny fragments. The doors and
covers were blown off and the ashes scattered
all over the floor. In Augusta the Opera
House was struck about 9.25 p. M, while a
large audience was present at the moving pic
lures. The crash was plainly heard by the
audience, although few in the opera house
had any idea that the building was struck.
The operator shut off his machine and gave
the audience quick Good Night, and they
quietly dispersed. Some damage was done by
water from broken water pipe.
SUICIDE IN IsLEsBoRo. Leon Wyman Of
Islesboro, well known in this city, died last
Saturday morning as the result of self-inf1ict-
ed wounds on Thursday noon. Wyman was at
work on building with other carpenters and
at noon time knocked off to eat his dinner, as
did the others. About time to go to work it
was noticed that he had disappeared and he
was found littl later in some bushes not far
away, where his groans warned his fellow
workmen of Lis plight. 1t was found that he
had twice stabbed himself near his heart, one
wound said to be just above and the other just
below. Friday E. D. Tapley of Belfast was
called and operated on the young man. Leon
Wyman was about SO years of age and was the
son of the late Austin Wyman. He was twice
! married and divorced. The cause for his rash
act, is unknown but it is thought that unrequit
ted affections led him to take his life He was
said to be in love with a young woman who did
not care to receive his attentions and for some
time had been respondent over the matter.
No other motive for his suicide is known.
When found Mr.. Wyman stated that he fell off
the staging and struck on his knife. He is
survived by one son Carl and a sister, Mrs.
Rose Morey.
