}»••• • 'lay afternoon b*»tweefi 3:30 and 4
o'clock.
Tip- dead Is Otto Jansen, the sixteen
year-old son of Mr John Jansen, who
lives seven and a half miles out of Au
giiHta on the Mljledeville Road. It ap
[i<:irp that the young man took shelter
in a barn on. his father's pla< <• and that
while holding to a wire which ran from
the top of the barn to the earth the
building was struck, killing the boy In
«t mtl The tragedy is made peculiar
ly sad from the fact that standing near
enough to witness the electrocution was
a brother of the deceased. Jt Is said
that the lightning literally tore the hoy’s
clothes Into shreds and marked his body
In streaks. His shoes were also torn
from Ms feet.
Brother Saw Electrocution.
The brother almost miraculously es
caped Instilrp deatn also, for he was
standing ho close to where the lightning
struck that he was badly stunned, but
not seriously injured.
Otto Jansen Is survived by tils father,
one sister, Mlsh Minnie Jansen; three
brothers, Harry and Albert Jansen, of
' t fV:’"city, and- .ho Jiuw-fl; of -Du-blin.
The fungal was held this afternoon at 5
o’< i,< k from the private chapel of the R.
K Kliiott Undertaking establishment, the
Rev. P. J. Rame officiating. The in
terment was In the City cemetery. Trie
pallbearers were: Messrs IT. 1,. Johnson.
Albert Haddlesay, Samuel Lemons Jack
Tmnforth, Chas. Rheney and Dewey
Newman.
The havoc played by the forked
lightning which cracked and crashed
down among the buildings in the city
wrought considerable damage to prop
erty, particularly In the west and north
west portions of the town.
The handsome residence of Mr. Ed
ward T). Reman, on J<dms Road, near
Central avenue, Monte . ano, was struck
and tract ieally destroyed. The damage
Is estimated at sl-,006. and Is fully cov
eted by Insurance. The residences of
Mrs. Jos. H. Duv. ‘J4IS McDowell s reef,
Mr. W. R. White. 1005 Milledge, and
others were struck and slightly damaged
by the lightning.
Lowery Wagon Work* Struck.
Lightning also struck the Lowery
Wagon Works, the Augusta Brewery and
Crawford's Meat Market, 1604 Hicks
street. The fire department were call
ed out to assist In putting out the fire
at the flowery Wagon Works, which was
struck In the early part of the storm. It
is understood that the damage there
amounted to about $lO. The holt tore a
large hole in the roof. Rox 54 was
turned in.
No sooner had the fire at the. wagon
works been extinguished when an alarm
reached fire headquarters that the Re
man home was afire. The telephone
and fire alarm systems were out of or
der as a result of the lightning and
wind, and there was some delay in the
firemen reaching the fire which was on
the Hill. In going to this fire the ap
paratus of Company No. 4 in charge of
Captain Cartledge. bad the mishap to
run into bad washout on Chafee avenue,
considerably damaging the heavy truck.
The front axle was badly twisted and
one of the wheels smashed. The auto
was put out of commission temporarily.
No one was hurt.
While directing the firemen on the Re
man home Chief Frank G. Reynolds
sustained a severe cut on his left band
from broken glass. Several stitches had
to be taken.
The Wind and Rain.
The wind and rain also d’d some oam-
Hge although not so serious ns that of
the’electricity. There are several wash
outs In the sandy streets on The Hill,
and many beautiful shade trees In that
aectlon lihjm* been wrecked by the wind,
which rit times readied a velocity of
iorty miles an hour. The official rec
ord of the wind at the local weather
station shows a maximum velocity of 37
miles. Some hail fell with the rain, it
is reported, and according to Forecaster
Emlgtit the precipitation was more than
an inch during the few minutes the
storm raged. It was the hardest down
pour of rain for the length of time that
Augusta has bad this year, or in a long
time.

Her Clothing. Latter Was
Untouched.
At the residence of Mrs. 1.. A. Rash
.<n the HIU yesterday afternoon her
colored nurse. Mary Trip by name,
was struck by lightning In a very re
markable way. The woman went to
the window to look at the storm. She
pulled aside the shade, which was
drawn, and teased out through the fly
screen. The glass pane was up. In
an Instant a holt of lightning struck
within ten yards of the house, be
tween It and the next house In fact.
paralUlng the neighborhood tlneJ
dentally, neither house was equipped
with lightning rods.t Mary turned
sway from the window, stunned. At
that moment Mrs. Reab entered the
room and mary said to her:
“I'm struck. Miss!"
Mrs. Tfeab laughed, not taking her
seriously.
"1 is, sure enough.” protested Mary,
holding her side. In a moment it was
o\ ident that she was right.
The acute pain in her side caused
her to search for the cause of It Site
