Houses Struck Monday Morning,
During the electrical storm on Mon-
day morning considerable damage was
done to the residence of Mr. J. P.
Hume, principal of the Collegiate
Institute. The lightning entered by
the chimney, completely demolishing
it. and descended to the attic. Here,
After .plintet ing a rafter, it branched,
one part neatly poring two holes
through the veiling nodose end passing
out a window that Miss Father Hume
had closed only a moment before.
The other part followed the stnvepipe
to the kitchen and escaped. Consid-
erahle plaster was knocked down,
especially in the upper part of the
haus*, and the lighta and telepho e
were burned out. It is miraculous
that none of the occupants of the
hones was injured.
The house of Mr. Walter Latimer;
St. David's etre t, was *truck also.
The chimney was damaged. several
ratters were splintered and the lights
burned out.
Several of the electric light trans.
formers in the south end of the town
were rendered useless by the lightning.
