BOLT STRUCK A CHURCH Twenty Members of the Con gregation Were Prostrated. PLASH FOLLOWED BENEDIOTIOH, liigUtning' Wrecked the Methodist Church at Quakertown, N. J., Just as the Services W e re Closinsr—The P a s to r A m o n g the Severely Injured. QUAKERTOWat N. J,, Aug. 5.—The M ethodist crfc%h here was struck toy lightning, and ?30 persons were prostrated. Those seriously h u r t are Jam e s Hoff, jus tice of the peace; M innie France. Mrs. K u lil Hoffman, Mrs. John Wilson, Asa Baum an, sexton, and Mrs. Bowman, wife of Rev. L. F. Bowman, pastor of the church. Nearly a ll of these were knocked sense less toy the stroke, and i t is feared th a t deaths w ill result. M innie France is in a critical condition. Dr. Bowman had just pronounced the benediction at the m o rning service when the bolt struck the belfry, running around the edifice under the weatherboards a n d down under the flooring. The services having been a ll but concluded, many per sons were in the vestibule and aisles of the church. Besides those nam ed 14 persons were m aim ed and scarred. The houses of the town were turned into emergency hospitals, and the victims are there being cared for. Sexton Baum an had his coat torn from his back and into shreds, and one of his shoes was stripped as by a knife. M innie France was in her pew when the bolt tore through the floor. Both shoes were torn from her feet, the crown of her h a t was w renched away, and her w atch chain was melted into liquid. Jam e s Hoff was pros trated in his pew, and most of h is clothing was literally torn from his body. Horses broke from their tie posts out side the church, and m a n y of them ran away, A veritable panic followed the stroke. A fter the excitem ent had subsided it was found th a t the 600 pound bell in the cupola was hanging alm ost by a thread while fully 100 persons were directly u n der it. The church edifice is alm o st a wreck, as the lightning p enetrated i t from all sidc.s. Cliurcis iooked Pike a Hospital. Word was at once telegraphed to P itts- tow n for medical aid, as the village doc tor, Dr, Snyder, had more to do than ho could attend to. The Pittstow n physicians, Drs. France and W arrington, started at once for Quakertown on a special engine ru n w ildcat for their transportation by the Lehigh Valley railroad. They arrived a t the church after a quick r u n from P itts- tow n to find the place more like a hospital th a n a church. The burned and injured were laid out on the cushions, and the uninjured ones, under the direction of Dr. Snyder, were m inistering to the needs of those injured. Miss France was soon pronounced in ex trem e danger. Rev. Mr. Bowman was a l most delirious. The others were s till dazed from their experience. To add to the con fusion the firemen were s till a t work fight ing the fire, which had started in the tow er just after the bolt struck, and which persisted in breaking o u t every tim e it ap peared to be quenched. The fire appeared to have gotten into the beams beW een the boards, where it could not be detected until it broke out. A n exam ination of the tow er showed it was badly damaged. Iron rods had lost their temper, and their bolts had been fused to the threads. Some of the bars-m u st have been at a w h ite heat a t one time. As soon as the injured were made as comfortable as m ight be blankets were proexired, and they were carried to their homes. W h o le Tow n K o s h e d to th e Scene. The utm o st excitem ent prevailed after the bolt struck. The news th a t the church had been s truck was know n a ll over the village in a few minutes, and despite the pouring rain alm ost the entire population ru.shed to the scene. When the first to ar rive reached the church, they found the unfortunate ones lying prone on the floor. A lthough those who were present agree in saying th a t Mr. Bowman was standing close to the wall ju s t before the bolt en tered, he was lying on the opposite side of the vestibule afterward. Miss France fell about where she had been standing. The entrance of the bolt was preceded by a crash and then a tearing sound which lasted an instant. Then there came a white, dazzling light of such terrible bril liancy th a t those whose eyes were exposed to i t have not yet recovered the use of their eyes and can see b u t dimly. No one knows w h ether any one else cried out, b u t those who were in the church proper and saw the light from a distance say there was a n interval of bright lights followed by an explosion, and th a t fully a m inute elapsed before they heard the first groan. Even thase who were a t a distance felt the force of the shock. ILifflitning; Killed One Out of IN'ine. H ollidaysburg , Pa., Atig. 5.—D u ring the progress of an electric storm a party of nine persons from Williamsport, Pa., who had been traveling in a four horse wagon overland, took refuge under an oak tree three miles west of this city. The tree was struck by lightning, and the members of the party suffered the full shock a n d effect of the electric fluid. John Miller, aged 19, was killed out right.

Italians Club and Eboot Kespro Miners and Drive Them to the Woods. S pring V alley , nis., Aug. 5.—A race w ar broke out here in the coal mines, the result being a w h ite m a n and an Italian dead and 14 negroes badly hurt, m a n y ol whom will die. There has been bad blood between the whites, Italians and blacks since tbe ne groes, 100 in number, were brought hew last fall to work in shaft No. 3 by M an ager Dalzell. Various encounters have taken^place and much blood shed, the ne groes * u sually getting the worst of it, a.s they are outnum b ered by the whites five to one. As Bernard Rulli, a w hite miner, was going home early Simday m o rning he was set upon by five negroes, robbed of $100 and then shot three times. He died soon after, and when his body was found in the m o rning the greatest excitem ent prevailed, the Italians and other m iners being furi ous w ith rage. The fire bells were rung, and the population of the village was soon in the streets. The Italians were determined to clean out the negro settlem ent, and, arm ing themselves w ith .shotguns, rifles and re volvers, started down -the road for shaft No. 3, about two miles away, headed by au Italian baud playing national airs. They filled the air w ith cries of ‘ ‘ Down w ith the niggers!” “ K ill them !” “ B u m them !” and their fury grew more intense as they proceeded. Fully 500 were in line, and as they neared the negro quarters, which are near the shaft, the blacks began to scamper, having been w arned of w h a t was to come. Many of them, however, saw the band and rem ained in their homes. A fter stop ping at a saloon the Italians formed in regular line of battle a n d rushed upon the doomed s ettlem ent w ith fierce yells, sweep ing everything before them. This was about 11 o’clock. The first house in the way was a negro boarding house, which was comparatively empty, m ost of the inm ates having flown. Gus- tavus Ferguson, the proprietor, saw the Italians coming and took to the woods, but some of his boarders were not so for tunate and were shot and clubbed. The house was then practically torn to pieces a n d the furniture throw n out and destroyed, after which the mob attacked the negro cabins, spreading ru in every where. It is said th a t fully 40 negroes are in the woods suffering from gunshot and other wounds. T H E PO P E SAID M ASS.

In The Century is printed a transla tion of portions of a quaint Japanese life of General Grant. The following is an extract from i t : In the spring of his seventeenth year he expressed a great thought to his father .and addressed him, saying, “I have in my mind the thought that, When four yeai’S from today have passed, I shall not be doifig this kind of labor. ” Tbe father, thinking it a strange thing, said; “ Do you hate your father’s heredi tary trade? Do you hate to become a leather maker and spend your life thus? What profession, then, do you expect to adopt in future? Do you expect to go into the fields carrying a sickle and a hoe? Do you expect to sell and buy things in the market? Or do yon fix yonr eyeballs upon hooks of 10,000 vol umes, and desire to speculate reasons and promote moralities, and become a man of wide knowledge?” Guarando Kuen, replying to these questions, said: “ To cultivate the field and become a farmer is well, but to spend the whole life as a hireling is not well. To take a soroban (counting machine) and become a merchant and gain profit is well, but along with it to make bad practice is not my desire. Contrary to all this, our ancestors, in the w’ar of independence of this country, sowed great merit, I hear. I also, entering a military school, w ill liaTO to show my arm in the time of great things. Oh, Father Kuen, how is it?” The father, being exceedingly glad, did as he wished. $100 Beward, $100.
