Mr. and Mrs. Henry Con way had an extremely narrow escape from death hy lightning last Tues day night. Whilo Bitting hy the iim in their home live in i ! north went from town, lightning struck. the building and knocked part of the chimney down, shattering it from toji to bottom. The house was torn open, and the ceiling parted from the Hide, letting the wind and rain in. Mr. and Mrs. Conway were both knocked down and o lnnlly shocked that they did not recover consciousness fir something near an hour. Mr. Conway fell backwards, chair and all, and bin wife fell forwards out of her chair o the lloor. Kiro wan knocked out on the lloor, and Mr. Conway 'h first action after begin- nig to revive win to overturn a bucket of water that wa-. fortu- n.it'dy in bin reach, mid put out the lire where it Jwa-t burning ti-e tloor. Had the lire Ciiight at first, while both were iincniiM-ious, they would have been burned with the IioUm'. That ihi terrible tragedy wan averted i n gratifying while the misfortune i ipiite a serious one to Ilie yotlili people ;.s it is. A curious feature of th race wan that every chair in tho room was overturned. Everything on the mantel wan totally destroyed, several hottlcs of medicine being hurled across the room and broken against the opposite wall. The windows on each Hide the fireplace Were destroyed, the facing being torn olf and thrown on the lloor, while every pane of glass whs Lro ken with the exception of a single glass. Mr. Conway walked to hi father's house, near hy, and told cf his disaster and was informed that it had been an hour or more since the peal cf thunder which did the work, and from this he judged how long he lay tin con scions. It must have been a pow erful current of electricity from the manner in which it wrecked the house. PHILIPPINE CAMPAIGN. ! mt TrM ! Ike Dla.f aat Leader s.asasw Manila, Jan.
