CHILDREN TAMPERED
WITH ARC LIGHT
As the result of several accidents In
front of the court house on South Pry
or street recently when several teams
have fallen Into a dllcli at that point
during the dark hours of the night, due,
It has been said, to the fact that the

Big Newel Post on Top of
Building Smashed Down
Through Roof.
Something of a panic waa caused In
the Terminal station Tuesday after
noon at 1:21 o'clock by the terrific
noise of lightning striking and dislo
cating one' of the newel posts on the
south tower. The post, composed of
material akin' to concrete, was hurled
the several roofs of the station,
parts striking the asphalt walk In front
of the station.
No one was Injured, although many
wore badly frightened. A depot horse
was struck on the nose by a flying
fragment. The horse started to run,
but was caught before causing any
damage.
The tunder bolt first tipped the top
most pinocle of the south tower, then
caromed down to the northeast cor
ner, where It dislocated the newel and
several of the pillars In the ballustrade.
All of these were given a tremendous
Impetus, some landlna on the roofs and
some thrown far out Into the drive
way.
Home ten or twelve large holes were
knocked In the terra cotta rooting, but
none of the fragments came all the way
" rough.
The accident would probably have
caused the loss of life,, had not the
heavy rain driven all -paisersby and
those waiting for trains to' the .Inte-
' or of the building.
Shortly' after It o'clock a thunder
bolt struck In the vicinity of the gas
tanks, not far removed from the Ter
minal stntlon. No great damage was
done.
