It was only yesterday that we recorded the fact of a serious acjideot by lightning, and new we are called upon to-day to chronicle a s ill more serious accident by the same medium, but luckily, we are hppy to announce, attended with no loss oi life. During the prevalence of the thunder ;torm here this morning.a bout 11 o'clock the residence of Mr. Samuel P. Collier, on Front 8'reet, directly opposi'e the offices of the W. t W. and Wr O. & A . Rail roads, was atruek by lightning and consid erable damage done to the front ef the building and the plastering on the inside. There Is no lightning rod to the house but the front of the building la surmount ed by an ornamental piece of iron railing wnica it is supposed must have attracted the electric fluid to the build In sr. Mr. Collier's bed room is on the second floor. facing on Front street, and In at the win dews to this room the dangerous current passed, tearing the bricks.from all around the front of the window on the outside In its course and scattering plastering and bricks around promiscuously oa the In side. Near the window stood a marble top bureau with a large looking glass; this was torn to pieces and the glass shattered to atoms while the furniture of the room was all more or less injured by the jar of the concussion and the falling bricks and mortar. Ji the roorn adjoining Mr. Collier's bed chamber, which Is con nected by an archway through the partition wall was, Mr. C.'s youngest child, asleep in a trond!e bed, while its nurse was standing In the same room near by; the shock knocked the servant down, and it is supposed that a falling brick must have struck the girl on the head, which has left a gash some three inches in length on her forehead. ' But dazed as the ssrvant was by the shock she trawled to the bed and dragged the little child from It as far as the door which she was vainly endeavoring to open when assistance came and forced the door open. Fortunately for the inmates of the house a gas jet protruded from the wall right near the window where the electric current entered, and on this the fluid passed from the room down along tl pipe Into the ground, melting the lead pipe around the metre In its passage and igniting the gas at the metre, which hap pened to be turned on at the time In the rear part of the house, in a sort of at tic compartment, tne plastering wls koecked off in two different places but an examination of the roofabove disclosed el the fact that there was evidence of any damage there and as the door leading in to this apartment was closed at the time of the disaster in the 1 front room it Is fair to presume that it was the jar caused by the explosion in the front room which oaused the plastering to tumble down. Mr. Collier's whole family, consisting of his wife and four children, were in the house at the time of the accident, and none were icjured. The balance of the family were In other pa. of the house, while Mr. Collier was seated in hfs office, which is right across the street from his dwel'ing, when the terrible clap of thun der which accompanied the lfghtr'ng caused him to jump from,' ls seat, aid looking a cross-to his house he saw nothing but a cloud of smoke and dust rnd falling brick ; frightened nearly to death for the safety of his family, Mr. C. dashed across the street, into his house and up the stairs o bis child's room, when he forced the dopr open and found the servant on the floor with the child 'u her aims cry'rjj, while the scattered , bricks around gate evidence of the extent of the dsmage done Seizing bis ?ufnt iu h's r -tr he at once removed it to a place of safety, and then proceeded to look after the rest of his fanr'ly whom happilj he found ta have escaped entire iijury, with the exception of being pretty badly frightened. The damage U thebu'ding s probably seme $0 or $50 The dam age to Mr. Collier's fun Itce will probably reach $25 or $30. It was truly a marvelous and miraculous escape fh xa death by the whole inmates of the house. You can buy No. 1 Cooking and Heats ingdtoves at almost anj price at Jxcobi's Hardware Depot.
