This artillery | of the air hud only been in operation I f\ a short while when the electric lights j I everywhere went out, the billiard ^ game closed, and the store keepers \ft had to hustle around and scrape up ip lamps to light before they could do iv anything in the way of business, the Is ruin pattered lightly, add many hosi\ tated to make a start for home as it >f appeared that the flood gates of the' I> skies would he opened every minute, thus it continued for an hour tantalizing those who hesitated, only a few drops of rain falling. Finally a start for home was made and those who " did simply waded into a perfect sea of darkness. Wo have seen some ? nr.?tl v flnnl/ 1 ^ ?..>iv Migiiu uui mis one iook j the cake. We have heard of it being ie d irk enough to fee', well, it was dai k r enough Saturday night to feel?unie easy at least, for fear of colliding with ^ somo one or some object. We could hear pedestrians calling to each other ''which side are you on, keep to the right, etc.," with an occasional stumble into the ditch or drain along r the sidewalk. The lightning flashes ^ came about every half minute and j one would get his hearing and walk ^ ahead, then wait until the next flash ^ , before proceeding further. At one ^ H time we found ourself in a citizen's o yard between flashes as we had walked e faster than we thought, y Mr James Morgan was on his way 1. home with some bundles in his arm, he saw by a Hash of lightning, as lie passed Dr. J. (J. Going's residence, that he was meeting somo one, ho called out asking which side he was ' on, tHe answer was on the inside, v Mr. Morgan bore out to the left and ran his face, against, the telephone s pole on the edge of the sidewalk with a p great force, knocking him down and f ? bruising his face, causing his nose to () bleed. Several gathered around him r in a few minutes, but found he was e not seriously injured. A stiff brim g hat possibly saved his face from being f badly disfigured. We came near colliding with an open gato across the side walk. The telephone poles could hard!
