all stunned by lightning. TLs BroatUyn Young- Mon's Christian Association Startled by a Bolt. Front the New York WcrUi. At 8:30 o’clock last night thunder and lijhtping began to whoop things up in the clouds over Brooklyn, and fifteen minutes later tho immense flagstaff on the roof of the Young Men’s Christian Association building nt Fulton and Bond streets, Brook lyn, was struck. The lightning cut a ser pentine furrow from tho top to the bottom of the staff and then scattered, route of the oleetric fluid falling in a shower of fire to the street and more of it running through all i>arts of the building. Thero were about soventy-fivo persons in tho building at the time, and although no one was injured, all were stunned for the moment, and none of them care to experi ence a similar sensation again. There were lifteon young men bathing in the swimming lank at the time, and they received the shock more severely than uny ethers. For tunately none was in dec-p water at the time. George F. Haynes describes his ex perience in the water as follows: “There was a fat man about to enter the water,” he says, “and he was vory timid. He did not seem to want to get wet. We were all gathered at the end of tho tank where the water is only about four feet deep, and we were waiting to give the timid fat* man a wet reception. Just as he was about to step into tho water, my attention was attracted by a bright light, aud, looking through a window, I saw two balls of fire drop to the sidewalk on llanovor placo. At the same time I heard a great snapping, and then the water ap peared to be charged with electricity. I was so affected by the shock that I could not move, and I did not hear the loud peal <jf thunder that I have Since been told fol lowed tho lightning. When I recovered I saw that some of tho men were hastening ■lit of the water, and tlmt others were still unable to move. My first impulse was to rush out of the water, and I did so. By the time I got out all had recovered and were hurrying after me. What was the sensa tion'' Well, X felt as I would if I should be told of a great calamity having happened to my dearest friend.” C. A. Freeburn, of the Reception Com mittee, was sitting in tho office at the time. He declares that he tasted the lightning. He says: “I heard two loud reports: not thunder, but the snapping of tho lightning. It ap peared to come down tho telephone wires in the corner of tho room. Tho air appeared to be filled with the fluid and 1 could taste it. It tasted like sulphur. There were about fifty men in the reading room, and they all got out in about two seconds. The sound was like the firing of two immense cannon occurring just under my ears. Yes, I realized that the building had been struck by lightning as soon as I heard aud tasted the lightning.” Robert Jameson was sitting in tho read ing-room. He suddenly noticed that tho air was blue, aud at the same time his body was druwn up. His left foot, ho says was drawn up to the sealvof the chair, lie be lieved he had been stricken with paralysis and he attempted to ask for help, but he was speechless. Then he heard and felt the crash, and he knew it was lightning. He saw the man who sat opposite him drop his book and rise from his chair. His face w r as pale and he trembled from head to foot. Then everyone ran from the room, and Jameson followed. He savs he was not frightened, but that if he liad had time to think he believes ho would have been scared. Those who were in front of tho building saw the lightning twisting itself around the pole as it ran down. Just before it reached the roof it flow from the pole (bid foil in a shower to the street. Mr. McMahon; who was in charge of For kin's wine store, directly opposite tho association building, was sitting at the door of the store when the lightning struck, and ho saw the shower of electric fluid. He says: “It was like the greatest, flying boom you could imagine. There were hundreds of balls of lire, some of them as largo as my head, raining down from the roof of the building, and when they struck the street they scattered in all directions like molten iron would. Everything was brilliantly illuminated, and the brightness cannot be described. With this was the crashing of the flagstaff, and hundreds of large splin ters fell to tho street. I picked up three of these pieces. In live minutes they had all been pioKed up and some of them were sold at 35c. each. For a while I was unable to move from the fascinating sight and then I ran. terror-stricken and hid behind a pile of boxes. Ido not know why 1 was fright eiiod, in l'ai 11 did not think at all. The sight was so awfully grand that all thought in me was suspended. An electrician who is connected with the telephone company entered the building just after it wus struck, and made a thor ough examination to see if there was any fire smouldering He found that no damage bail been done except to the flag staff. He said he could not see where tho lightning hud left the building. A devout member of the Young Men’s Christian Association said t believed God had turned the electric fluid out of its course and saved tho build ing. A flagstaff on the roof of M. Schulz’s building, next door, hud a coat of white point on it before the lightning struck; but immediately after it was jet black, not a spwk of white being visible.

Cannon and Daniel H. Wells were the principal speakers, tho latter making his first public uppeu ranee here since he loft hurriedly ana secretly for England some three years ago. They all alleged that Tay lor s death was due to the persecutions no hud suffeml and which madeliimn martvr. The remarks throughout were dreary, tiresome aud commonplace. No spark of emotion or feeling was shown by the speakers. Angus M. Cannon said he saw Brother laylor recently and asked lum if ho had any message to his wives uud family. He replied, “Tell them I love them all still, and will continue to do so until the end.” A FUTILE INTERRUPTION. In one of the pause*, iu the speaking a son of John Taylor, who lives at Ogden, rose in the body of tho house and clamored to be heard. Attempts were made to ignore him without success. Finallv President Angus M. Cannon came forward on the platform and said that the programme was all made up and largo numbers of sjleakers provided; he, therefore, could not suffer the proceed ings to bo broken iu upon. Still the sou of the dead man wanted to he heard, and started to say that he misunderstood some thing about the constitutional convention and the supposed lack of knowledge on the part of Taylor of the adoption of tho anti polvgamy clause led to his persecution. Another of Taylor’s sons, J. E. Taylor, manager of the Deseret News, then seized the speaker by the coat tail and forcibly pulled hkn into his seat. No further inter ruptions occurred. It is the general judgment hero that, com pared with Brigham Young’s funeral, thut of Taylor was very poorly attended. Not half as many people were present at tho Taliernaele, and in the funeral procession it was even worse—less than 100 vehicles, all told, followed the corpse to the grave, and they were made up of all sdrts of convey ances, from carriages to farm wagons. Many persons left before tho conclusion of tho Tabernacle exercises, worn out by tho length of time and spiritless nature of the addresses. The services at tho grave consisted of singing and praying. The grave is a tem porary one beside his wife who died last winter. The vacancy caused by his death will not bo filled for some time yet. A Frenchman of Mobile. /•Voiu Harper's Magazine for August.

MARY ANDERSON’S GHOST STORY. Confronted by an Apparition in tho Palace of Lord Lyttou. From the Philadelphia Telegraph.. One of the best authenticated of modern ghost stories that I have ever heard was told me lately by an English lady, who had it from the lips of the heroine of the adven ture, the fail’ and famous American actress Mary Anderson. At one time during a former visit to England, Miss Anderson was invited to pay a visit to Lord and Lady Lytton (the former best known as Owen Meredith.) who were then nt the ancestral seatref the Bulwers. the well known manor of Knebworth. The fair actress wus a greut favorite with the host and hostess, and had more than once before been their guest at their historical country home, a certain apartment called the white aud gold room having always lieen placed at her disposul. On her arrival on this last occasion another apartment was ullotted to her, her usual quarters having been taken by an early comer. Her new room was equally spacious and handsome, though some what gloomy on account of the mas sive antique furniture, while a large picture of Queen Elizabeth, evidently a con temporary likeness, hung upon the wall, aud by its faded hues and imperious aspect lent an impression of weird mystery to the surroundings. But these ideas only occurred to Miss Anderson after the incident lam about to relate. Bho fouud her room on first entering it very pleasant, and every ar rangement had been made for her comfort, her maid having been installed in a small room just outside her own, and communi cating- with it by a door. Miss Anderson arrived iu the afternoon. Dinner was served at t‘> o’clock, and the evening passed off in a very agreeable man ner. No ghost stories were told, tho con versation taking an animated and merry tone, and the party did not separate till near 1 o’clock, “so you see,” remarked Miss Anderson parenthetically, when she first narrated the history, “it is not at all likely that I could have been suffering from indi gestion.” Sho retired to rest, the door be tween her bedroom aud that of her maid being wide open, aud that leading to the corridor having been securely bolted. No sooner had Miss Anderson blown out the light and laid her head on the pillow than she became conscious of a singular and un pleasant change in tho atmosphere of the room, which became at once intensely cold and dump and overwhelmingly oppressive, so as to be scarcely respirable. “I could compare it,” she afterward said, “to nothing except a blanket saturated with iced water and pressing upon my mouth and nostrils so us almost to stop my breath.” She tried to cry out, but strength and power of speech seemed to have alike forsaken her. Then she became aware of something clutching at the bed clothes; a strong grasp fastened at intervals on the coverlids aud blankets she had drawn over her. In the extremity of her alarm, she contrived by putting forth all her strength to raise her self in a .silting posture, supported by her hands, and she Mas instantly dashed buck against the headboard of the bed by a fierce grasp fastened on her back and shoulders. X hiring tins mute and terrible struggle Mis i Anderson could see a light in her maid's room flashing up and going out, tuis process being repeated several tunes. Mho tried in vain to reach her own match liox. which was placed beside lim bed, but failing in that attempt she finally broke loose from tho hold ot her invisible persecutor and sprang from tho bed, utter ing a piercing shriek. Her maid instantly rushed into tue room, exclaiming in terror: “O, Miss Mary, did you see it?” “Sec what?” asked Miss Anderson, in renewed alarm. “Something—l cannot tell what— that caught me by the throat and tried to choke mo as soon as I got into bed.” On compar ing their experiences, the mistress and the maid found that they had suffered in pre cisely the same manner, but the latter lia.l contrived to get Itold of the match box. “But every time that I struck a match, Miss Mary,” added the frightened girl, “something would blow it out.” The two terrified girls lighted their lamps and wit down together on Miss Anderson’s tied, wrapped in blankets, to await the down of the day, having lirst investigated the fasten ings of the outer doors of their rooms uiul having found them secure aud in good or der. As soon as it was light they dressed them selves and went down stairs, exciting a great deal of attention and comment on the part of the early risers among the servants by their extreme paleness ana evident agitation. Finally the housekeeper came to ask Miss Anderson if anything was the matter, and the first exclamation of that functionary on bearing her story Mas, “What—again?” This remark she tried to explain away, as suring Miss Anderson that sho must have been suffering from nightmare, though she failed to account for the fact that this dread ful form of nightmare had attacked both the mistress and the maid at the same mo ment. WHERE THEFT WAS UNKNOWN. Remark ble Condition of California When Gold was Discovered. A remarkable state of affairs existed in California fur the first year after the dis covery of gold, says H. H. Bancroft in “Popular Tribunals.” The first miners were made up in a great measure of men already living hero, they were honest men, and had deserted the tow-s to dig gold, and not to de fraud their neighbors. Many were knowu to each other and few were wholly unknown. Peaceable and in a primitive M-uy each for himself picked the precious metal from tho river beds and crevices, washed it from the sands that lined the streams, or sought a place of his own to dig for it, witli no desire to encroach on ground chosen by another. Rights were respected; theft M-ns unknown. A pick or shovel thrown upon the grouud, sticks driven into the earth, or a written or posted notice that a certain s]>ot was claimed was sufficient to loeuro it aguinst all oornors. Miners lived much in tho open air, iu cloth tenements or rude huts, leaving their gold dust in bags or bottles unguarded in tent or cabin. Tho merchandise of the trader waj secured only by walls of eloth which could he easily cut through with a pocket-knife. Goods stocked up by tho roadside, miles from any camp, remained undisturhel for weeks and months. Horses uud cat tle were safe to roam at large. After the winter rains hail ceased and water for washing gold had disappeared, iu cer tain localities piles of rieli dirt were thrown up to Imi washed out when rain should come again. And though these heaps were often the result of great labor uud contained much wealth, they remained undisturbed (luring the summer, uud when autumn came fell to their rightful owners. Differ ences of opinion were settled by “leaving it to tho crowd.” And so it wus the first conici-s found less discord existing here than anywhere else in Christendom. Vessels arrived so last iu Ban Francisco that they could And uo accommodations for tlioir cargoes on shore. Great quautftias of merchandise of all kind* wore discharged ami piled up along tho lieach. All of it was wholly excised, although much of it was valuable. Rut all this time there wo* scureely a ltx-k on the door of any dwelling, store, or warehouse in Bun Francisco. During this truly goldun-ago of integrity it never seemed to occur, to those honest folk that there were any persons in the world who would wrongfully take their property from them. It is suid that there was but ouo ruso of theft in Sou Francisco prior to October, 1849, and this was a Mexican who stole some blankets, for which he was pub liclv whipped on the plaza. During the autumn of i:>18 tlicre were no such things along the stapes of the Sb-rrun as government, judges, sheriffs, tux collec tor* or other officers of t!ie law. All w*rc absolutely free and were thrown upon thedr good behavior. But in fond time it seemed to dawn upon the criminals of the world that a good yielding winter.on* without jail or gallows must be tho vory paradise for UiXovsa OVER THREE OCEANS. Two Tea Stoamers Race Each Other From China to New York. Front the New York Herald. Racing half around tho earth—all the way from Chinn, in fact —through storms and calms and with heavy cargoes of tea on board! That is exactly what the rival steamers Monmouthshire and Glenshiol undertook to do two months ago, and yesterday tho Glun shicl steamed into New’ Yeuk the winner of the long race. Her presence at Sandy Hook M-as unuoimuedover the wire at 7:87 o’clock, and at 9 o’clock sho was steaming up the liay. The steamer was in splendid order after her long voyage. The decks had been washed down aiul scrubbed until there was not a speck of dirt on them, and tho. sails were all furled and the spare ropes neatly coiled. The huge yelliov masts shone iu the sun and tho brass ornaments of the steamer reflected his rays in a thousand points. HER LONG TRIP ENDED. Ruddy faced and jolly captain C. A. Roualdson, the veteran commander of the line and commodore of tho fleet, was stand ing on the bridge looking as serene as though ho lmd not come a mutter of 13,000 miles, if the course wore in u straight line. At 10 o’clock sharp the Glensliiel's prow entered her dock at pier 45 North River, her screw made n few hackwunl revolutions and tiio long race was ended. The Glenshiol had won. On tho deck forward swarmed over a score of half nuked Chinamen Mho had acted as firemen on the trip, and very good til-emeu they made, too. The officers of the steamer, genuine Anglo-Saxons most of them, wore their Sunday uniforms. The vessel was packed with lea from hold to main deck. Even the saloon, fitted up for first-class passengers, was half filled with boxes of ten, and the staterooms ou each side were filled with tea. THE START. Tho Glenshiel, which is 3,455 gross tons and 3,3X0 not tonnage, with triple expansion engines, left Yokohama, on the Island of Niphon, on June 4, with 1,050 tons of tea. She touched at Hiogo, theu went on to Na gasaki. Slid then laid her course for Amoy, where 3,031 tons more of tea M-as shipped. There was also received 861 tons from Shanghai aud 01 tons from Foo Chow. The steamer arrived at Amoy on June 14 at 13:80 o'clock p. in., and at 0 o’clock a. iu. ou tho 17th her prow pointed out into the stormy waters of the China Sen. The Monmouthshire had left Yokohama on May 81 nt 10 o’clock in the morning, and, after leaving Nazaski. she went to Shang hai, while the Glenshiel proceeded direct to Amoy. But tho Monmouthshire got into Amoy on the 13th and the Glenshiel on the 11th, dearly gaining two days on thotripof the Monmouthshire to Shanghai. SQUALL AFTER SQUALL. The ponderous engines drove the Glenshiol through the M-aters of the China Sea at tremendous six-ed. There was a succession of squalls that beat upon her steel form, but the waves liad little effect upon tho staunch steel frame of the steamer. The wind came up from the southwest in whirling gusts that would have capsized any ordinary craft, and tho squalls were so sudden that tho steersman hardly had orders to shape his course after one storm had iiassed before another came ou, and the 1 ilenshiel’s wheel brought her up to face it. She steamed into Singapore at 11 o'clock on the morning of June 33 and there found the Monmouthshire, which had arrived two days before. Two hours after the Glenshiel arrives) at Singapire. her rival stunned out and only waiting to take on 7u:i tons of coal, which occupied two and a half hours, she followed. THE STRUGGLE. Now came the tug of war. The half naked Chinese firemen piled in the coal and the steam gauze marked a higher pressure than it ever liad before. The engines worked noiselessly mid tho huge screw spun around, displacing tons upon tons of water, while it spurted from I(pi- bows in two big streams that beat any fountain that ever was in vented. At 1 o’clock on thu 26th the Mon mouthshire was seen steaming ut full speed. It was evident that her officers saw tbeir rival, and the excitement on both ves sels was at fever heat. “Hurra! We’re gaining on her, we’ll pass her,” shouted a sailor ou tho GlenshitTs deck. VICTORY FOR THE GLENSHIEL. He was right, for the steamer that had up to this time been in the wako of her ri val, aud had left tho last port two hours bo hiiul her, was slowly but surely overliuuling her, and at 3 o’clock the Glenshiel passed the Monmouthshire and steamed out of tho K/raits of Malacca into the Indian Ocean ahead. The crew of the victorious steamer could not repress a olioer. It wus not in any wav noticed by the Monmouthshire crew. The Glenshiel forged ahead on her way, and her jealous rival was soon lost to sight astern, uud thut was the last soon of her on the passage. The strong southwest monsoons of the Indian Ocean raised high head sens, but the steamer ploughed on, and on July 7, at 1:80 o’clock in the afternoon tho port of Porim, at the entrance to tho Htraits of Babel Maftdeli, the door of tho Red Hea was en tered. The Glenshiel here took on 150 tons of coal, nud at 5 o’clock in the afternoon was steaming up tho Red Sea toward Suez. The weather was fair, and thut port m-iu; reached ut 7 o'clix-k p. m. ou the lltli. At 7:80 o’clock the next afternoon the G lenshiel left Suez, and at 8:80 o'clock the same even ing was at Port Said. Hero 500 tons of coal wore shipped to feed the yawning fur naces that were consuming fuel at an enor mous rate. The deck forward was piled with on>;u. Four hours after entering Fort Euid the Glenshiol was steaming over the black waters of the Mediterranean toward the Btraits of Git rallar. The straits were reached on July 19, at 6 o’clock in tin* morning. The suu was shin in ' very brightly ou the rugged wails of tho old fort. ON THE ATLANTIC. The steamer passed out into the broad At lantic at 4:30 o’clock of the 19th, and then commenced in earnest her tusk of covering tho expanse between that point and Now York. There were several shard gales on the way over from tho Northeast, and once the wind swung around to the Northwest, und rent a small hurricane down on the ves sel. Bho made tin* passage, however, from Gibraltar iu ten days and lifteon hours and from Amoy in forty-two days, not ullowing the difference in time. On Thursday at 3 o’clock a. ni. signals wore exchanged M-ith asteumur of the Great Western line. At noon the steadier Joshua Nicholson was passed. These were the only two steamers sighted after leaving tho Mon mouthshire behind. On the 89th the weather wits foggy and the vessel proceeded slowly. The sight of Fire Island light was u wel come one to tlie mariners, uud the vessel slowly made her nay in tho colly morning up to Bundy Hook. THE RIVAL STEAMERS. The Glenshiel is consigned to Henderson Brothers, of tho Anchor hue. Bin- is fitted with electric lights and every modern con venience for passengers. Bho will curry a number of suloou passengers to ixmtlon. for which port she sails iu about two weeks. Tho Monmouthshire is one of Carter, Hawley & Co.’s steamers. Bile was built in 1868, and is considerably smaller than the Glenshiol, registering 1,163 tons. Bho had not Ix-cn sighted at a late hour last night, and it is thought sho wiii come in at least two davs liehiud her successful rival. Capt. Dnnalifeon, of the Glenshiel, says it is one of tho most successful voyages ho ever made. Wnsw scents get on the trad of the Indians it U an indication that there is goltiK <o )s- war.
