A Shocking Storm.
About 10 o'clock yesterday morning , dur
ing the progress of the shower , many of the
citizens in the central and eastern portions of
the city were startled by an unusually vivid
flash of lightning , followed by a peal of thun
der that fairly shook the earth. It was In
stantly conjectured that the electric fluid
had struck somewhere In the vicinity und in
quiries were made to locate the exact spot.
The llrst place found to have been visited by
the destructive current was the residence of
C larlcs M. Hcrl , on Oa land avenue. The
bolt struck the building at tha south end of
the gable , nnd ran down the roof ,
kcatterlng bhinglcs In every direction , and
tearing and splintering the roof boards in a
most reckless manner. It circled around the
chimney , and then entered the house , jump
ing through the attic to the door and tearing
n hole through the ceiling of the room under
neath. Here all trace of it was lost , and its
path of egress from the building Is unknown.
Mrs. Harl was standing In a room on the
lower floor , directly under the spot whore the
celling was pierced by Jho bolt , and received
a very severe shock. She says that the cur
rent seemed to pass directly under her spine ,
ant ) sue has suico suffered heavy pains hi her
back. She Is In delicate health nnd It Is
feared that the fright Incident to the shock
may produce unpleasant results. The domestic - '
tic was ironing In the kitchen , and the tint-
Iron was Jerked out of her hand by the'frisky
iluld.

By fnv the heaviest shock was felt by the
resident * In the vicinity of Pierce and Frautt
streets In the eastern part of the city. The
shaft skipped along on the telephone wire
leading to John Bcreshclm's residence. 241
Frank street , until It reached the large cottonwood -
tonwood trees near the corner of Pierce ,
through which llio wire was strung. It was
in these trees that the rampageous bolt
seemed to turn Itself loose , for
It played all kinds of praulss.
chasing up one tree and down another until
the whole street seemed to ben perfect blare ,
and the trees were torn , splintered and shat
tered so that they will have to be removed.
These trees lire lu front nf the neat little cot
tage of Mrs. Walters , who was at home at
the time , and was so badly prostrated she
may never recover completely from the
shock. She was thrown to the lloor and ie-
malncd unconscious for nearly two hours , but
was finally lestored to consciousness bv tors ,
( rccn and Lacoy. The principal witness of
the lightning's freaks was her sou William ,
who was standing on the porch at the time ,
about twenty-live feet from the trees that
formed the pla\ground.
Ho says that the lirst vivid flash was accom
panied by a qttpcr bu/7.mg noise , nnd then u
huge bull of llru seemed to run down one of
the trees mid strike the earth with a roar ,
and immediately the Iruei and whole stroat
seemed to bo tilled with u bla/ing lire. Ho
experienced no unpleasant sensations from
the trying ordeal. The telephone wire was
molted and thu poles in llio vicinity badly
slmttcied. Mrs. M. II. Judil , who lives ill-
welly across the street , was thrown to the
leer , and ladies in Mr. Ijcrosheim's hotisr- ,
i block away , were b.mly shaken up.
J ho paper on the wall near the telephone
was burned and the instrument considerably
ilnnmgod. Several part.us of N.irinan
"reen'B stable on Broadway , 110,11 by , were
[ urliully stunned. An lets wnguii belonging
to Mnlho'liind & Nicholas was standing on
Frank Street , about ono lunnlitd jurds
away , and both hoi son were thrown from
their feet but not severely injured. Inqui
ries at the telegraph nillces faded tn discover
my ( lamniri1 in that direction. At the tulo-
lilmne oliice the o'Tects ' U'ero ft It aad several
: lrops were thiown down , but no ccrious
: latnagi > done.
"lO he liphtning arresters on the outiiilo of
the building worked well and kept the
greater part ol tinetiM ciirrcnt o it ot the
ofllco. Several of the eoim-etions In the bit
were binned out , but cm bo replaced with
veiy little troui'le and at comparatively
Mimll rost. It is very remarkable that the
affected pu tics were not more seriously in
jured , even if not killed. It was a. very iiur-
low escape for sovcv.il of them , and they are
to bo congratulated on their good. hu-k. A
few dollars will rujuir all of ihu dainugi )
done. The Fr ink street trees have- been the
. auso of much complaint to the city council ,
and there will now bo no trouble In getting
them icmovcd.

Vacant lots are allowed to bo uncared for ,

that vicinity , and w.ie an examulo worthy of
speedy ImrU'ioii. It cost but a trifle ,
nnd couiiuvl for much. Property owners
do not realize how hurtful impressions
nro formed ol their vdrjnt lots Just
from the unkcpt condition In which they are
allowed to remain month alter month . A
largo lot on Fourth street has been so covered
with weeds that whoa the other day the
owner had them cut off , li&roulil hardly recognize -
ognizo his own lot. Near the depots they are
allowed to grow up a largo quantity of sun
flowers and weeds , and strangers alighting
from n train natmnlly conclude this Is a vil
lage. There Is no excuse for resident prop
erty owners , und the vacant lots owned by
non-residents should bo cleared off by the
city , and the cost taxed up If ndccisftry.
There are numbers of vagrants daily fed at

bo employed in the war on weeds.

Broadway yesterday afternoon. They are
both in their teens , and became involved In a
quarrel over the ownership of n ball , and it
was not long until each had fiatcrual blood
flowing. Several spectators were watching
tl.o mill with interest when Marshal Guau-
ella appeared and took the young "puns'1
into custody. They resented his interfer

brothers couldn't have H family scrap , with
