A terrible flash of lightning follow
ed by a deafening peal of thunder
awoke the echoes in the city yesterdaj
atternoon.
People rushed to the doors at once
to see if anything was the victim of tht-
iightning’s fury.
A telephone pole at Lamar’s corner
was struck and the lightning toyed
with the electric light wires. A
crowd waiting for their mail in the
office at the Albany Inu was almost
frightened out of their wits by the
electric display there and there was a
terrific explosion ni the composing
room of the News and Advertiser
and a number ot badly frightened
compositors.
A number of telephones were burned
out and it was thought that the elec
tric light wires would be injured but
the commercial circuit was found to be
ail right.
One of the chimneys of Mr. Herman
Farkas’ house on Commerce street was
shattered and the lightning set fire to
the carpet in the room and for a little
'vhiie it looked as if a conflagration
was to be the result. The alarm of
fire was given. The entire department
was out in less than five minutes after
the flash but it was found that there
%vas no need for their services and they
returned to their respective houses
none the worse for their Short and
quick run.
Just after the crash there was more
than one white face seen on the streets
and many nervous people were con
siderably shocked by the electrical dis
play.
The rainfall which preceeded and
followed the thunder storm was one of
the hardest of the year. It was a reg
ular old-time trash mower.
SOME MORE DAMAGE.
Thirty-two telephones were re
ported at the Central office last night
as having been burned out. This will
give Electrician Kitchens a consider
able job today repairing the damage.
The electric lights in Capt. R. Hobbs
residence yere burned out, but no fur
ther damage was done.
Several other electric lights were
burned output were not reported last
night.
ABOUND THE BlADOND.
Albany Won Yesterday—Teague
Games,
Eufaula, Ala., Aug. 4.—[Special. I
—Foster and Reaves are wonders.
Eufaula failed to find Foster yester
day and lost the game by a score of
G to 0. These games are fine ones and
our boys are playing great ball. Eu-
faulu’s team are good ones and usually
the game is simply a fight between
the batteries and the other boys have
very little to do. Gagan goe3 in the
box tomorrow and McKay will catch
him. Friend goes in for Eufaula and
Walton will catch him.
- Kemp:
But Eufaula was not the onlj place
where good ball was played yesterday.
The score in the Southern League was
as follows yesterday:
At Chattanooga:
New Orleans, 0; Chattanooga, 0;
fourteen innings and game called on
account of darkness.
At Birmingham: *
Mobile, 1; Birminghom, G.
At Macon:
Memphis, 1; Macon, 8.
At Atlanta:
Montgomery, 2; Atlanta, 4.
. He Don’t Want Any Store.
Yesterday Mr. Sam Kitchens was
engaged in putting in a telephone for
Mr. C. M. Shackleford over in East
Albany, and about ten minutes before
the vivid flash of lightning he decided
he would suspend work until after the
storm w is over.
Just about time he got all of his wire
coiled up in his hand the flash came.
It struck the wire and he made strenu
ous efforts to drop it, but not until the
lightning had run clear to the end
could he drop it. The current ran
around just as many times as there
were coils in his hand and traveling as
fast as it did itseemed almost an etern
ity to him before the end was reached.
He says he will put in no more tele
phones on cloudy days because he
knows when he has got enough.

The St-rond District Congressional
Convention which will as>emb’e it
tbiscity on August 17h will be one ol
tbe most important ever held in tl.-e
district, and a large number of p:op e
will desire to Tit tend.
Information lias been received from
all over the fifteen counties iu tiie dis
irict that large nninhers of peop’t
want to be here on the 17 h.
This has led to a movement to secure
reduced rates on all the railroads lead
ing into the City, and today Mayor
Gilbert will address a n quest to all
tiie railroads asking that the roads
grant a reduction.
The contest for the Congressional
seat has been a most lively one and the
people have been more greatly aroused
than they have in years.
The friends of each candidate will
desire to be here and besides a reduced
rate would catch a large number of
^people.
Dawson, Cuthbert, Thomasville, Ft.
Gaines, Bainhridge, Camilla, Tifton,
Sumner, Isabella, B’akeiy, Leary,
and Arlington will send more than
one hundred people each if this re
duced rate is granted, while the
smaller places will send their full
share of interested people.
Verily, the people are awake and
want to see the working of the most
important convention ever called to
gether in the wire grass regions and if
the railroads will make this redaction
the people will turn out.
Albany will have within ter gates
more people than ever assembled in a
political meeting outside of Atlanta.
For months the eyes of the people
have been tamed upon the Second
district, and they want to attend , the
great convention. ‘
A welcome awaits them, too.
Albany will thoroughly advertise
the reduced rates if the railroads
grant it.

A FIGHT BET WEE 8 V AKES.
A Ten-Foot ••It’ug” Crush 3 the JLIfe
Out of a S*x-Fooi •‘Battler.”
A king snake, ten feet long, a nd a
jattlesnake, six ieet long, thoughtless
ly lejt in the same box in Donald
Burns’s animal store. No. 115 Roose
velt street, had a fight last Tuesday
night which endek in the death of the
rattler.
The king snake belongs to the family
of constrictors, and its squeeze is a
great deal worse than its bite. The
king i3 said to have an instinctive
hatred for the rattler.
Mr. Burns was taking a nap in his
store, when he was awakened by the
peculiar sound of the rattlesnake’s
Yibrant tail and the loud hissing of
both reptiles. He found .the rattler
coiled in a corner of the cage, its head
darting back and forth, and watching
for a chance to strike its-larger enemy.
The kiDg snake was gliding eautio isly
nearer with the intention of twining
its muscular coils around the rattler
and crushing it to death'.
The rattlesnake made its spring, but
was unsuccessful in his attempt
to bury its fangs in the king.
Next moment the Tibs of its writh
ing body began to crack as the
king snake coiled about the rattler
and began to contract its own power
ful rnucles, In its desperate struggles
the rattlesnake knocked tbe door of its
box into pieces with a blow of his tail,
and both reptiles fell out on the floo-.
Burns didn’tcare to take any part in
the quarrel. He snmmoned an assis
tant, and finally got the victor iuto a
hag. The fight had lasted but fifteen
minutes. The rattler was dead and
the king snake appeared to be un
harmed.
