Lightning Has Strange
Affect on YOUNG Girl

Miss Mary Sinclair, of Monaco,
Pa, is susceptible to a lightning
storm in a very peculiar manner.
Whenever there is a flash of light
ming it seems to react on her mus
cles so that she becomes absolutely
rigid.
Recently after a vivid flash of
lightning her right hand closed so
tightly that it required the efforts
of four men to open it sufficiently
to place a splint on it. Six times
in the past lightning has affected
her in this way

Mackerel Weighing 875 Pounds Caught After
Fish Wrecks Two Boats and Carries Third to Sea

AS a result of three hours bat
tie with a monster horse mackerel,
while fishing three miles off the
beach of Highlands. N. j., West Os-
borne, Conrad Anderson and Charles
Wardell, Sea Bright's leading deep
sea fishermen, are minus their nets,
and, in all probability, will not be
able to use their skiffs for some
time.
The huge fish was shared in Os-
borne's net, when the three had
tried their luck in forming a pock-
ct to corner blue and weaktiish Os-
borne thought he had a shark and
who were laying close by to work
in their nets to keep the big fell
low from escaping, because the price
paid for sharks on the beach is
generous.
The two remaining fishermen, Nj
wenty-two-foot skiffs, turned to
their respective crew men and asked
with the supposed shark. In the
meantime Osborne cried out that the
shark was breaking through his net,
and begged assistance. Immediately
the other two skiffs were brought
Up and the nets sent over the por.
and starboard sides.
Dashes Off With Harpoon
Gaff hooks and shark knives were
brought quickly into play, but a
sudden leap of the sea monster re-
vealed that, instead of a supposed
shark, a horse mackerel was their
prey. Osborne and the pilots of the
other two skiffs prepared harpoons
crew worked the nets in order to gill
him and exhaust the monster. But
the swiftly flowing tide was too
and lines, while the remainder of the
much for them, and the big fellow
broke through the heavy nets. AS

SCORE KILLED IN
FACTORY EXPLOSION
STARCH WORKS PLANT LAID LOW
BY FIRE THAT FOLLOWS
BLAST.
Defamation Heard for Miles and Per.
sons Many Blocks Away Jared
From Their Chairs.-Loss to
Plant Over 100000.

Cedar Rapids, Ia.-A score of per-
sons were killed and nearly hundred
were injured Thursday night by an
explosion and fire which wrecked the
Douglas starch works and consumed
the ruins. The loss was $780, 900 to
the Douglas plant, in addition to dam
age caused to other property over =
radius Of more than a mile.
) There were 100 employees in the fac
tory when the explosion occurred at
9 80 O'Clock, only a few minutes after
the day force of 400 had left for home
and the night shift had reported. The
defamation was heard for thirty miles,
and SO severe was the conclusion that
persons were Jared from their chairs
many blocks away.
The explosion is thought to have
been due to mill dust, although the
engineer Of the plant believed that his
boiler had exploded, hurting him from
the factory.
The fire broke out so soon after the
explosion that it was impossible for
the firemen and volunteer rescuers to
search the demolished plant thorough
~. Many persons were caught under
falling bricks and timbers, and some
OF these were extricated by firemen
and civilians assisted by returned SOL
dierS.
The shock was felt all over Cedar
Rapids and for miles around the coun-
try.

SUFFRAGE MEASURE
PASSED BY HOUSE
NINETEEN REPUBLICAN AND SEW.
ENTITY DEMOCRATS EXPRESSED
THEIR DisAPPRovAL.
The Susan B. Anthony Amendment
Resolution Now Goes to the Senate
Where Supporters Are Confident
Of Victory.

Washington.-Nati suffrage for
women was Endorsed by the house of
representatives for the second time
when the Susan B. Anthony amend
ment resolution was adopted on May
n by vote of 304 to SO. Supporters
of the measure Immediately arranged
to carry their fight to the senate where
although twice defeated at the last
session, they are confident of obtain
ing the necessary two-thirds vote.
The victory for the suffrage forces
was by AZ votes more than the required
two thirds.
The favorable vote was more by
fourteen than would have been neces-
sary had all members Of the house
been present. The political division of
the vote showed that 200 Republicans,
1O2 Democrats, one independent and
one prOhibitionist voted for adoption,
while the negative poll showed seventy
Democrats and nineteen Republicans.
House leaders of both parties in the
brief debate preceding the vote urged
favorable action, but many southern
Democrats opposed the measure, as
did several New England Republicans.
Efforts of opponents to amend the
resolution were unavailing. Repre-
sentative Clark of Florida, Democrat,
leader of the opposition, proposed that
the states ratification be compulsory
within seven years, and Representa-
tive Saunders of Virginia, Democrat,
sought to compel state adoption by
popular vote. The overwhelming de-
NAL Of roll call on these proposals
by vote of pa to 81 preceded the
vote of adoption, and indicated the
relative strength of the resolutions
and opponents.
Suffrage organization leaders ex.
pressed qualification at the large fav-
0rable vote and predicted victory In
the senate due to changes in member
ship. 1t is expected the resolution will
come up for vote early next month In
that body. I
Unlike former occasions when SUI
frage was before either branch of con-
gress, only small crowd was present
when debate began.
