HOUSE JTRUCK Bolt of Lightning Scared a Dracut Family. IT BROKE THK WINDOWS AND TORK PLASTERING.

Singularly There Was BO Fire or Accident. CAPT, MITTEN'S AUTHORITY. HE FAILED TO USE IT AND THEREBY IS CRITICIZED. The storm which passed over this city last night was of remarkable intensity for so early in the season. The mugginess of the atmosphere last evening foreboded an electrical storm, and the incessant lightning warned people on the outskirts of the city that a storm was comiut; this way.

in the city the flicker and glare oi the electric lights deadened the effect of the lightning. The storm broke about midnight in tor rents of rain, and toward daylight the thunder was deafening and the lightning very brilliant. The storm passed over the city without doing creat damage outside of interfering with telegraph telephone service. It did do damage at the Xavy Yard. Struck a House.

One bolt of the electric fire struck the Henry Emery estate on Riverside street. About 3.30 o'clock the inmates of the house were awakend by a terrible crash and jumped from their beds to find all the windows knocked out and the plastering scattered all around the floors. One ten years old boy who was asleep at the time the bolt struck was thrown on the floor. Miss Lizzie Wolfgang, one of the family had a narrow escape from a severe injury. A large portion of one of the window frames was thrown from its place and in its flight it went dangerously close to her bead.

The house filled with smoke shortly after the crash but fortunately the building did not catch fire. The carnage will be considerable. The bolt seemed to strike the roof crushing in one corner of it and then passing down the walls and escaping through the cellar. It seems singular that the house did not take fire when, the lightning played so familiarly about the woodwork, The Firemen Awakened. During the thunderstorm last night, the firemen at the Central station were kept busy running to the Lowell Card company's works as the automatic fire alarm kept ringing all the time.

The hose carriage kept watch on the building but no fire occurred. The firemen at every station in the city were on the alert all night every moment expecting an alarm. They were agreeably disapppoiiited in not being called out although from the incessant lightning and the terrific thunder it is believed that some harm must have been done.

A very slim audience attended the Jenny Lind Lewis concert in Odd Fellows' ball last evening. The instrumental part of the program was well worthy of a larger attendance. Miss Jessie M. Downer, pianist, easily carried off the honors of the evening. She is unquestionably an artist of a high order, and her performance last evening was simply faultless.

Mr. Stockbridge, Mr. Lavigaeur violinist, are also masters of their respective instruments. They rendered their several sekc- iions in a most acceptable manner. The vocal part of the evening's entertainment was assumed by Miss i Lind Lew-is of whom audience expected much but was rathor disappointed.

She was billed as a soprano soloist, but gave no evidence in the way of voice or cultivation to sustain any such claim. Her splections were excellent and if properly executed would have added much to the evening's enjoyment. Her voice the lower register is decidedly harsh and at times disagreeably rasping and totally devoid of mellowness, while her attempts in the upper register result in a series of thin, shrill, piercing sounds vbat may be called anything but sinking. Her faults in execution are fairly covered up by a few well studied but overdone stage mannerisms. It is only fair to the musical public to state that there are dozens of ladies in ou city with richer.

sweeter and better cultivated voices who would not presume to pose as professional 1 soprano soloists. What Said About the Authority of the Armor; Commandant and thu Opportunity He Had; of Quelling What Ik Now Looked C'pon as Mutinous Conduct. The talk of the town is the trouble in the Welch Guards at the armory. Opinion is divided as to whether the captain or his men were in the wrong; there can be no doubt DOW, both the officers and the men are at fault, the former for negligence in exercising the authority which goes with his shoulder straps, the latter in becoming uiutlLDus. The refusal of the men to obey the order of the captain is pronounced by i i i a outside the company as an act of mutiny.

Captain Mitten 'missed the chance of his lifetime in not summarily dealing with the men not obey his order. Whether he was wrong, and the men right, or vice versa makes no differeuce-in this particular respect, according to the opinion of a man who is well versed in military law, which opinion he gave to TIIE Srx last night. He says: "When the militiamen of the company came into the vestibule of the armory and stood there it was Capt. Mitten's place under the circumstances to put a guard on the company to fall in; every man who then refused to obey the order should have been placed under guard in the company's quarters. Then he should have taken what men.

he had. even if he had only a corporal's guard, put them through the drill, and when it was finished dismissed the men. "He could have released the other men and immediately proceeded to mafce out papers requesting the discharge of the men. The discharges would have been granted, and any the men repented, they could have re-enlisted. Mitten, as I understand, when he found atout 30 men in the vestibule went into the armorer's room and ordered the armorer to clear the passage by telling the men to get out or else go into the gallery.

"Capt. Mitten is commander of the armory is supreme in authority in the building. He had the power to order the men to move, and furthermore had the power, as does each captain, of enforcing his authority over the men in his company. "The men went to the gallery, thereby setting themselves in defiance to the captain in action. This was the first act of the men, I think, which will give rise to criticism.

As far as the ajeeting on Sunday is concerned the men had a perfect right to hold it; a meeting is the prerogative of the men who have objections to their supeiior officer; the petition was all right, and should by rights be handed to lue office: in command in order 'to go through proper channels' to reach headquarters. Capt. Mitten did perfectly right to countersign it 'disapproved'; that was bis right. If in exercise of his authority he caused one or more men to be put under arrest for refusal to obey orders, he had good grounds to obtain discharges of the dissenters without criticism of his action. Now if he seeks to obtain dishonorable discharges for the men be "puts his foot in it'j for the very reason that he and every man must be court martialed entailing an expense the state will not tolerate.

"If the men get their discharges it will hardly be a victory for Capt. All things considered after Thursday night's episode Capt. Mitten will not care to pass the ordeal of a court martial, or appear as a prosecutor of bis men. before such a court." Some Other Facts. It is said that Thursday night was not the first time the men refused to drill, the Thursday previous while on the floor they declined to go through the manual of arms.

Furthermore, it is stated by a man of the company that the talk about a St. Patrick's day parade being the cause of the trouble is all bosh. He said that the trouble was that the men kept drilling and not making headway, that the men who studied the tactics knew Capt. Mitten was wrong repeatedly in giving orders; that when the company was formed for inspection on two occasions the formation was wrong; that the inspecting officer, Col. King, inquired of Capt.

Mitten if the formation was right and he said it was; that the orderly sergeant in answer to a question told the inspecting officer it was not right: that in extended order the orders were incorrect and instruction of the men incomplete and unsatisfactory, and that there was a general exhibition of incompetency on the part of the captain. The militiaman further said that the trouble was not with the men; they had attended more drills, in larger numbers and shown more activity than any company ever quartered at the armory. But after a whole winter's work the men found they were not in the position they thought they ought to be. They objected to being badly rated as was expected when CoU King made his report. The militiaman said that personally the captain was well liked; it was not a dispute with him in this respect hut upon his capability.

Many of the men if discharged today wouW be ready and anxious to re-enlist under some other officer tomorrow. The Kcsult Anticipated. As THE Sux predicted a few days ago the Welch Guards are likely to be disbanded as a company of the Ninth Regiment and reorganized as a company of the' Sixth, to take the place of a company in too central part of the state. The outcome of the present trouble is likely to he an apparent victory for Capt. Miiten by being supported by those over him.

in the interests of discipline, but ultimately the personnel of i the company will be changed. THE OPERA HOUSE. AN OPEN SWITCH CAUSED THE ADAMS EXPRESS TO BECOME DERAILED.

The other man whose name is William Larose made a bolt for the front door which was fastened only by a spring lock. But the officer pulled out his revolver and told Rarose if he moved he would shoot him.

He stopped immediately. He then at the point of the revolver made Ridges unbolt the door for him. As he stopped inside Ridges said he supposed it was no use to fight and naked the officer to shake hands, but as he held an iron bar in the other hand, the oflicer declined and made him drop the bar. The officer then drove both men into a corner and afterwards put thu handcuffs oil them, the sight of the levolver taking away their desire to fight. He ne-it drove them to the patrol box.
