A largo limb was torn from n cottonwooil tree on South Ninth street between Sccont und Third avenues , which broke the wire : nnd spllntcre'd ono of the cross arms. It was n noticeable fact that the cottonwoods snlTcr cd heavily , and caused nearly all the damage that was done to the wires. A llreman expressed pressed a wish that the council would pass at ordinance condemning all cottonwood tree ; along public streets , for this reason. The lightning struck the north Main strec marble works , stunning the foreman of the works nnd knocking him down. Ho wns no' severely injured , and wits feeling nearly as well as usual yesterday.

A great deal of excitement was occosiouci ' on the streets yesterday morning by th'o re port that a double drowning had occurred nl Lake Mamuva Sunday night during tin storm. A trip to the lake failed to verify tin report. As nearly as could bo ascertained the report was started through the finding o an empty boat which washed ashore. 1 seems that n man nnd u woman pulled awnj from the north shore In that boat shortly before fore the storm burst and have not been sect since. It Is believed that they had not gone fai nnd that they returned to the shore , landiiu ns best they could nnd turning the bon' ' adrift. In their haste to reach a spot sheltcrci from the driving rain. It was regarded as ] Kssllilo that they might have reached UK south shore und remained there all night , bill no 0110 had appeared from * that , side up U yesterday afternoon , nnd It was not knowr what had occurred thero. This theory 1 ; regarded as Improbable , as they would * nol have drifted back across the lake against tlu heavy wind.

NuinlicrB ol' Them In Chicago DlKoiiHHliiK the Project. CHICAGO , June 23. A largo number of world's fair commissioners , representing various states , have arrived in Chicago and tonight In all the hotels world's fair matters are being very generally discussed. Among the most interesting conferences was that between Joseph Hirst of Tampa , Fla. , and A. S. Mercer of Cheyenne , Wyo. Hirst had much to do with the allotment ol space at the centennial and almost entire charge of the recent Piedmont exposition at Atlanta. In talking of the matter of a site Mr. Hirst said : "If we can be convinced that the lake front can bo obtained legally and will revert to Chicago as a park after the fair Is over I don't think there will be a dis senting voice. This , however , providing there is room enough. " "There's the trouble , " said Mercer. "I don't think wo ought to open the doors with less than ono thousand acres. Just look at the number of states demanding ten acres each. Some of them propose to do wonderful things with that space. Utah proposes to reproduce Salt Lake and the country before and after irrigation , und with an exhibition of the irri gation process. Colorado will reproduce her mines and build a mineral palace. California will make woudcrlul exhibits. " "Well , If they really mean to occupy all the space they ask for the lake front will certainly , tainly not be sufficient , " said Mr. Hirst , "and I am utterly opposed to dividing the ex hibit. " The gentleman also discussed the recent sensational charges regarding the lake front. Mr. Hirst said : "You may rest assured that if there is any danger of that spot being ruined for any purpose for which the city may dc- sire it the commissioners will not aid any such schemes.
