“It succession of terrific thunder
atoms which paced over Norwalk and
vickity yesterday-tbs first durlogths
early hours of the morning, the second
“after noon, and the third early in
the ”wing—were unprecedented for
this In. of the year.
Who the heavy claps of thunder and
Igbtelng’s flashes died away in the
alerting. and the sun attempted to peep
the lowering clouds, there was
would be pleasant during the reminder
of the day. Shortly after noon, however,
the heavens were again darkened and
rain began to fall with thunderous ac-
“mu.
About two o’clock the lightning struck
the fiagstafl on the cupola of the Old
We] hotel building, splitting the pole
(rota the top to within about a foot of
attire bottom, and what remained was
spread out like a huge bouquet. People
in discentral portion of the city were
severely shocked, and naturally thought
it was their dwelling that had been
struck. During this shower hail stones
as large as peas foil in different parts of
the city.
During the heavy shower at 6 o 'clock
lightning struck the for factory of Jos~
orb J. Ascb. The stroke was one of the
berth-tof the day and shocked people
throughout the city. The roof of the
factory bed the appearance of being a
sheet of flames. The fire alarm was
sounded and the department responded
promptly. It was found that the light-
ntughad struck the cupola of the fac
tory arvdbsd ssttlrsto some loose for
‘ which had been blown upon the floor.
No dstnam was dons, as the fire was
extinguished with two pails of water.
The lightning traveled along the tele-
phone wire to the building, and a second
fissb of lightning went over the who
while the firemen were on the building.
The electric clocks throughout tbs city
were stopped, and many telephones were
burned out. The flash of lightning that
track Aech's factory extinguished the
electric lights for a short time.
AWmtlsmsn, who nappen-
ed to be in South Norwalk at the time of
_ thsetorru, told s News reporter that be
thought he would not escape alive
With several friends he was passing
' along Ilsiu street on the way to the
depot. Rein was failing heavily and
large ball stones were striking the pave-
ment sending up reporrslrks the drop-
ing of small stones. The flashes of light-
ning filled the air and just before they
got to a place of shelter a large ball of
the passed ofi the building and along the
“Wet.
Dining the morning storm the steeple
of BtJiary's church was struck by a
thunder bolt which tors several shingles
ofi the north side of the spire. Mass
was being conducted in the church at
the time, and perplc in the congrega-
tlon describe the shock as like the report
of a pistol A panic was imminent but
the rector quieted the congregation. An
“up. rumination: this morning showed that
the finisiiug at the base of the cross is
split and several large pieces are torn
out. The courts of the lightning is then
traced along the zlrc seeming to the
north side of the spire, where it entered
the church, tearing of! a number of
shingles. It then continul d down inside
the tower, passing through the, bclfry
loft and finally shot out of the large
window on tbs east side, sham-ring and
burning the woodwork and breaking
some! panes of glen.
Daring the second shown the rosi-
dsncc of Stiles W. Curtis, at 0 Union
Park, was struck by lightning. The boll

Tully and Policeman Gorrnlsy stood on
the corner of Alain and Wall streets, on-
gaged in conversation, when they dis
covered smoke issuing from the batch
way of the old Bklddy block on Main
street.
An alarm was sent out from box 15
and the department quickly responded.
The smoke was so dense that the firemen
had some difficulty in locating the fire,
but it was finally discovered in the rear
of the cellar under 8. J. O'Brisn’s tea
store. The flames were soon extinguish-
ed, but not until the building was filled
with smoke. The inmates were terribly
frightened and made all haste to get out
of the building, regardless of style or
fashion. They were soon quieted, how-
ever, and persuaded to go back in the
building out of the street.
The origin of the fire is unknown, but
is suppoeed to have started in a pile of
tee mats near the cellar stairs. The floor
Is considerably charred and the stairs are
destroyed.
The damage rs in the neighborhood of
£150, which is fully covered by insur-
ence.

She met there Samuel W. Lewis, who
represented to her that be was a broker,
with an office in Wall street. Lewis’s
home was at 102 President street, Brook-
lyn.
In April, 1887, Mrs. Bostwrck got a
divorce from her husband. She had
consrderable money, and owned property
in Brooklyn, Black Rock and Bridgeport.
Three months after her divorce, she can
filled to [owls that she had money to in-
vest. He advised her to buy 100 shares
of Pullman Palace Car stock. then quoted

purchase for her. He told her that the
stock could be bought on the installment
plan, and she believed him, and gave
him a check for $700 for a small install-
meat.
That was on June“ .5, 1881mm from
that time until August I, 1889, she gave
him various sums to invest for her. He
gave her a statement purporting to show
that she owned different stocks worth
$47,250. The Pullman Palace Car stock
was put down at $18,800.
Lewis bad in the meantime married
Mrs. Bostwick. Bis conduct was such
that she became suspicious of him, and
began an investigation on her own ac-
count. Shs inquired of the Pullman
Palace Car Company how much of the
stock was in her name on the books, and
was surprised to learn that no stock was
or Lewis. She gave her husband a piece
of her mind and demanded the return of
her money. Es told her that it was all
gone. except some bonds. He pawnsd
her jewelry and her daughter‘s, and sold
her horses and carriages without author-
ity. Lefls' treatment of his wife is said
to have been brutal in the extreme.

But'ulthough the public has lost its
cherished favorite, the poor and eukar-
ing have found a life-long friend. Annie
Louise Garry’s lovely voiceis no more
heard in the opera, with intervals of
wild applause and a ram of flowers, but
her wonderful tones, tender, column and
sweet, echo Sunday after Sunday
through the wards of bosp'tals, where
sbs goes on stated days to sing to the
sufferers lying in the long rows of white
cots. It is curious to watch the gracioue
influence of its music upon the pain-worn
creatures on whosh ears it fails like a di-
vine benediction. Furrows of enduring
are gradually smoothed from weary
brows, tense muscles slowly relax. and
over eyes dim with agony the lids droop.
Percbance a quiet tear drop steals on to
a wan cheek, and than a look of peace
dawns, while the gentle face of the fair
singer wears an expression of excitation
never seen in the days of her most splen-
did triumphs.
Oue of Mrs. Raymond’s pet charities is
the Diet Kitchen. She has been identi-
fied with this association for a long
time. Its object is to provide suitable
nourishment, properly prepared, to the
sick poor. The “kitchens,” eight or ten
in number, are located in various teno-
msnt house districts, and either adjoin
or are not far from adispsnssry. Tho
flied is furnished to applicants on the
requisition of a physician. The matron
constantly in charge is assisted by var-
ious ladies, who come there in turn at
stated times and share the labor of serv-
ing out the gruels, broths, best tea, milk,
rice, etc., which are provided for pa.
tients. The Centre street kitchen‘il the

she is simply idolized by the people.
Clad in a plain dark frock, aodsuvslop.

food to any and all who come to ask for
