The storm over the sugar sehednlo is

been made of a very complicated

During the severe thunder and
rain storm Saturday night lightn'

church. Ono of the chimneys ol

hob- was knocked into

the damaged chime - The v

rooms 011 the fir t IP was con|
siderably shattered, and the house
1 was tilled with the fumes of --.ili
phurj or powder. None of the
I family was hurt, but, of course,
I they were much alarmed at the
I terrific crash which was terrifying
to people in all parts of the

I Mr. and Mrs. R. If. Allison who

to see lire break out in the hi?",('"

never materialized.
The bolt that struck the Presbyterian
church damaged the
facings of one of the doors, tore
to pieces the frame of one of the
windows damaged the roof and
left a number of other marks in
different parts of the church.
The fact that the church had
been struck was not known
with certainity till next morning.
Mrs. .). J. Graham was
pretty badly shocked by the
stroke, and they suspected that
the church had been struck.

was no insurance on the church.

to hear of conventions being
held in every township in the

cold in the matter, but if we
