Mobile, Ala., May 27.?About three miles from the city this afternoon, during the progress of a ball game in an open field, a thunder storm came up, accompained by vivid lightning, which struck in the midst of the crowd of spectators, instantly killing five and injuring some twenty-five more or less seriously. At least fifteen or twenty others were shocked and knocked down by the stroke, who quickly recovered an<? were able to leave the field. The field was strewn with bits of shoes and clothing from those who were killed or seriously injured and the bodies of the dead presented a terrible spectacle, being burned in numerous places. A silver dollar taken from the pocket of one of the victims was melted on both sides. Violating the Sabbath day. FOBCED CHILDREN TO DBAW A PLOUGH. Wisconsin Farmer Made to Quit Inhumanity.
