Thirty-five working girls made narrow escapes from death from suffocation by smoke or flames in a small fire that destroyed the establishment of N Frank & Sons, dealers in rags, 1402 Mullikin street, this city, today. The women was employed on the upper floor of the building, and so quickly did the flames spread that escape by the usual means of egress was entirely cut off. Joseph Gillingham, an employee of the firm, jumped from a second story window, and, running to a neighboring bakery, procured a ladder,down which he helped 17 of the women from the third story to the roof of an adjoining building, from which they made their way to the ground.

And One Was Killed bj a Stroke ot Lightning. News and Courier. Accompanied by one companion, young Benjamin C. Webb, Jr., was struck by lightning Sunday afternoon at 3 o'clock at Elliott's Cut, and instantly killed. The tragedy is one of the saddest that has taken place near here for sometime and grief among the young man's friends was universal yesterday Elliott's Cut is not a very easy place to (each, and on this ac count the information of the unfortunate accident was not brought to the city until late Sunday night. Even then for sometime it was not known whether Mr Webb or his companion, Mr Lewis Jervey, had been killed. Facts were meagre. The suspense was dreadful until a few friends went to the scene of the accident and later tele phoned that Mr Webb had been dead for five or six hours. It was too late then, of course, to do anything except to bring the body to the city. Really the first information that camo to the city was through a telephone message from some person un known. The person giving the information was at Wappoo Bridge and said that during the afternoon the taller of two young men had been struck by lightning and billed. The person said that the men had been shooting, and from this information it was supposed that the unfortunate one was either Mr Webb or Mr Jervey. The friends who went to Wappoo did not reach the city until 2 o'clock yesterday morning. The night was a stormy one and rowing against tide and gale was very difficult-. The boat the men had to bring the body home in was a frail one and the oars small, but after vigorous pulling the sad party landed the corpse. The body was immediately tai x _ n 11 % neu vo vyoneuey s morgue, wnero the coroner's inquest was held yesterday morning. Young Webb, acconpanied by Mr. Lewis Jervey, had taken a | small row boat during the morning and gone to Wappoo for a day's outing. The weather was warm and there was just enough wind on the water to give courage 1 to the boys to row harder and i harder. The entire morning was ! spent in genuine sport. For hours i nothing but the ring of a rifle was heard* The sky was bright and 1 not a cloud lingered in its flight long enough to cut olF the light of the sun, A rest for lunch was ? taken. But after the party had < finished that impromptu meal , 'dark clouds blurred the horizon. , ! It was the first thunder storm of , the soason. But there was not , only thunder in the dark clouds, j but lightning as well. When the j first shower passed and the rain [ tell sparingly the hunters came from under their shelter and hur ried to their boat, determined to row for home when the opportunity came. Mr. Jervey was now sliglitly in advance of young Webb, but as both were almost in the act of climbing into the boat L and shoving off a bright flash burst right, in their midst, fol- , lowed by a thunderous roar. The bolt had struck and killed. Mr. Jervey was stunned, but not so seriously injured. The moment he collected his thoughts he then turned instinctively towards his companion. Webb was lying upon the rocks and sand, with rain beating on his face and little F. J. CHENEY A CO, Prop*. Toledo, O. Sold bj ririijfgiflta, price 7ft cent#. Hall's Family Pills are tho bent.

Dashing handfulls of water upon Webb the flames were very soon quenched. The lightning struck bis head, passed down his right side, thence to his right foot. The right trouser leg was ripped from seam end to seam end and the top part to a heavy hunting boot was divided into two parts as neatly as if it had been in the hands of an experienoed shoemaker. The stroke was a heavy one, as was evidenced by the fact that Mr. Jervey and several others were shocked. One or two negro men were passing near the beach at the time of the accident and all of them were shocked more or less. One of them was severely burned about the face and neck. Mr. Jervey called to these men for help and they willingly came to his assistance, but, of course, they could do nothing. It has been said by some that the young m*n nnnlH hiva huan Krnnslit back to life had medical attention been available. Naturally as aoon as Mr. Jervey recovered from the shock he did what he could, but even his best efforts were of no avail. When the body was placed in the hands of the coroner it was possible to see the damage done by tho electricity. A portion of the body was blackened and charred as if it had passed through a fire. The eyebrows and hair on the forehead were scorched and singed. The verdict of the coroner's jury was in occordance with the facts as related by the principal witness, Mr. Jervey. The funeral services will be held today. Mr. Webb was in the 19th year of his age. He was employed as a clerk in the hardware store of H. McGee Sanders, King street, where he had a reputation as a sober and industrious youth. His father is Oapt. B. C. Webb, who at the time of the death of his son was in Columbia.
