BOLT KILLS WOMAN

last night by another electrical, rain
and wind storm that was violent, and
wrought considerable damage in some
sections, and was severe to a lesser
degree in others.
There were three distinct disturb
ances. The storms began to gather
early in the afternoon, so that il gave
the masters OF bay vessels, and other
persons out in pleasure craft ample
time to seek refuge. The first sec
ton of the storm moved from a south
ard to a northeastward direction, and
lashed the upper part OF the county.
This was along about 6 O'Clock.
Half an hour later a heavy sweep
visited the sections in the vicinity of
South river, and there was still an
other storm further down the county,
and both of the latter eventually
swept out into the bay. The storms
were accompanied by the most vivid
and spectacular electrical displays
that has been witnessed this sum-
mer. So close together came the
flashes of lightning that the heavens

between $50 and o'clock There
were several sharp flashes. quickly
followed by heavy crashes OF thunder,
and a virtual deluge of rain contin-
ued all the while. But apart from
the fact that roads in every section
were heavily washed out, and small
bridges carried away here and there,
no serious damages have been re-
ported from the county. Except that
wheat of many farmers still remain

suffered heavy damages as a result
of the soaking rains, 1t is not thought
that other crops were hurt.
