Xew York Citv. A bole of lightning which entered the insane department of the County Home during Monday's severe electrical storm shocked a number of the inmates and did considerable damage, I No one was seriously hurt but all were thoroughly frightened and many were in. a. highly nervous state for some time afterward. The lightning struck the telephone pole located ia the courtyard at the Home.

From there it followed the telephone wires into the building and ran back--through the hall until the stroke seemed to divide and a nan. followed the oil cloth binding oa the floor, tearing it up and scorching the Soor covering.The other portion continued along the wires until it came to a door with iron bars and a wooden frame.

The occurrence created general consternation at the home for some time, all the residents being thoroughly frightened, not only in the insane department but in all the other buildings. The thunder was terrific and it Foreign attachments have been issued by Justice Harnish in favor of C. M. Wolf and W. H.

Tipton on a carload of marble intended for use at the new federal building. A similar attachment has been issued in favor of the Gettysburg Department Store by the Court of Common Pleas. The action is to recover for Mr. Wolf a bill of against Ambrose B. Stannard, of Xew York, the contractor; for Mr.

Tipton a bill of $45.00 for photographs, and for the Gettvsbarg Department Store a bill for S190.54. The carload of'marble is for interior work at the building. It is carved and intended for the staircases and other work. The car has been here for several weeks but the attachments were not issued until Saturday.
