A TRAGIC DEATH.
OWKN MCCARTY OF SANDY HOOK THE
VICTIM.
ri1K .a. ....
ine n"vy Miower or Monday were
very welcome at far as the water was
concerned, but the lightning that struck
and put out a human life, came as a sud
den and unwelcorned visitor at the home
of John StUWon In Tlnkcrfleld. Mr Still
on had at his guest Owen McCarty, son
of Martin McCarty of Sandy Hook. Mr
McCarty iias been In poor health for
long tune, suflerlng with rheumatism
and thinking a change from his home
might be of bent-tit, he came up to Mr
StlUson's, last week Thursday. On Mod-
day morning Mr Htlllson went about his
work as usual and Mrs Stlllson was busy
with the weekly washing when the heavy
shower came up, between 10 and 11
o'clock. All of a sudden there was
vivid flash of lightning and instantly
tremendous peal of thunder and a bolt
had struck the rod on the house. It fol
lowed the rod to the bottom of the house
when It left It and jumped In under the
house, which has no cellar in this por
Hon, and up through the .floor into the
bedroom where Mr McCarty lay on the
bed. Reside tearing up some of the floor
It split one of the bed posts and In an ad
joining room tore oil' a little plastering
Mr McCarty could not make out what
had happened and Miss Kate Hurley, who
was In the next room,al- felt the shock
severely, the lightning tearing a hole
her shoe. Mrs Stlllson, who was in the
other side of the home, went to see what
was the matter and its she entered the
rooms she found t'letu to be full of
smoke. She spoke both to Miss Hurley
and Mr McCarty and after a few mo
ments they seemed to be all right. Mr
McCarty called for some water to drink
and said he believed the lightning had
truck him, but Mrs Stillson told him
he guessed not. Help was sent for and
about 15 minutes later there was another
flash and crash, which struck a tree
about 130 feet distant from the house.
This seemed to aireet Mr McCarty visi
bly and he folded his hand across his
breast and breathed his last in a very few
moments after the second shock. There
were no marks on hU body and the sup
position is that the shock was too much
for him, weakened as he was by so many
wcks of painful suffering. The dog felt
the shock and it took him two or three
days to recover from its effect. Mr Mc
Carty'B funeral was held from St Kose's
church on Tuesday afternoon at 3 o'clock,
Father Fox officiating, and the interment
wag In St Kose's cemetery.

FALL TERM BEGINS
The cowing year will again be marked
increased facilities for better work.
The tuition remains at the same low
offered. The Classical course nrenarps
course is adapted to the wants of a large class of young men and women who
desire a preparation for teaching and for the actual business of life, but do not
expect to enjoy further school advantages.
Students who enter the school late in life or for other reasons do not wish to
take up the full course may select for themselves what studies they wish to pursue.
Several of the studies in the regular courses are elective.
The school has recently been equipped with much new apparatus, including
some laboratory supplies, and experimental teaching of the physical sciences will
henceforth be a prominent feature of the school. The class in Physics, this year,
should be even larger than last.
Six recitation hours a week, or more,

wisn to mane tneir pourse largely a business one.
Instruction in Vocal Music ("Charts'. r)ra.winr and PinMn ani Ph..;.i r-.,i
ture (including Delsarte) will be continued, this year.
The study of English, its grammar and its literature, has been given a promi
nent position in the school. Rhetorical exercises will, this year, be held each
week, consisting of orations, declamations, essays and recitations.
The progressive new education ideas nermeate the wort in n tha Honarimonio
In order to secure the best results it is only necessary that the attendance shall be
regular. Want of success in the studies is usually traced to absence from recita
