of mlii'I for their Irritability, ami for
the luequallty of their tempers. Thus,
the great admiral rendered himself so
bated by his oltlcers, that at the naval
battle with De Gulchon in Aprlti 1780,
the captains of half-a-dozen snips of
his command refused to follow him into
a<-tlon. thus robbing him of what would
otherwise have boon a crushing vic?
tory over th? French, ami placing on
record one of the most disgraceful In?
cidents in the naval annals of ting
land.
The late Lord Rodney had evidently
inherited some ot tins peculiarity
i from his famous ancestor; for his llrst
wife, mot?Wr Of tiie present peer, a

tain-d a divorce from him In 1002. show?
ing, among other charges, that he had
beeil guilty of blacking her eye. of
heating her and of "kicking her out

bench an "a very bad-tempered man."
With the royal family no was In the
blackest of black books, not only on
j account ol his treatment of Lady Rod?
ney?a favorite at court?but also be?
cause ol his vigorous protest against
the grant of the colonelcy of the Ueg
Iment Of First Life Guurda by Queen
Victoria to the late Prince Henry of
Battenberg. Prince Henry had held u
commission in tho Garde du Corps at
Berlin, which is the German counter?
part of the English Life Guards, and
Queen Victoria was very anxious that
her favorite son-in-law?the one who
made his home with her?should bold
the Command Of the regiment that was
particularly entrusted with her pro?
tection.
Wiiile the authorities wore perfectly
ready to comply with the Queen's
wishes In the matter, some of tho of
llcera oi the regiment, led by the late
Lord Rodney, who was a captain there?
of, w,-re so vigorous in their open de
I nUnclntion of the plan, and their op?
position to the prince's command of the
corps, or even to his holding a com?
mission therein, that Prli. Henry him?
self, realizing that he was unwelcome,
begged his royal mother-in-law to
abandon her Intention, and to let him
have mi Unattached colonelcy instead ?
that Is to say. the rank, without any
command. His subsequent death on
the west coast of Africa, during the
Ashantco campaign, served to embit?
ter still further the royal family
against tho late Lord Rodney.
The late peer left everything he
could to his second wife, because all
his four sons (by the iirst marriage)
aided with their mother, nod con?
sequently the present baron will bo
dependent upon the hereditary pen?
sion, and what his mother may bo able
to allow him.

LIGHTNING PLAYS
Bolt Engages in Hide-and-Seek
in Barn at Massanetta
Springs.
[Special to The Times-Dispatch.]
Harrlsonhtirg, Vs.. September \_
Lightning played a wonderful prank
ut .Massanetta Springs yesterday after?
noon, when a boll struck an apple
tree, glanced off to the ground, shot
under a buggy into a stable, passing
over or around three cows, leaving
them unharmed, but killing a horse in
an ndloining stall. The bolt then
skipped tin- next stall, In which a
horse was confined, but killed four
chickens in the last stall. Strange to
say, the stable was not set afire, nor
was there a mark about any of the
dead chickens or horse.
Telephone reports say that the storm
was one of the most terrilic ever felt
In that portion of Mast Blcklnghum
for years. Though ILirrisonburg had
k but a sprinkle of rnin. tor?
rents of rain, accompanied by wind,
lightning and thunder, fell several
miles east anil south of town. ,
At KeesletOwn, live miles eastward,
the Chesapcako Western tracks were
flooded and trains were delayed an
hour. The same thing happened to the
Baltimore & Ohio tracks near Pleasant
Valley, four miles southward. The
night freight was delayed. Much
damage to corn and gardens is re?
ported.
An automoblllst returning last night
from Massanetta Springs declared that
the violent wind and rain had washed
and swept the fields at places, carry?
ing dirt and stones Into the road in
large quantities. lie said that at sev?
eral places it was difficult to get his
automobile to make the trip pn ac?
count of the atones that obsructed the
road.

In his first message to the Council
Mayor Conway recommends the ap?
pointment of a finance committee, com?
posed of three members, with tier vice
on no other committee, whose duty it
would be to consider and pass upon
every special appropriation before sub?
mission to the full Council lor final
action. This would obviate the neces?
sity of making appropriations in ad?
vance of their Immediate need and per?
mit the Council fairly to consider, upon

money, rather than, as heretofore, ap?
propriating funds in advanco to the

parative emergencies which may arise.
