Residence on Harnett Street Partially Destroyed-The Seashore Hotel Was Strnck-Llfhtlnj and Fire Alarm Systems Temporarily Oat Wilmington and this immediate sec tion was visited by a severe electrical atorm,-accompanied by a heavy down pour of .rain, .Sunday night, continu ing well into Monday morning. The storm came up as early as 9 o'clock In the evening and the lightning was in cessant. The electric system jwas para lysed and for a time the city was in darkness. Many are lights and not a few incandescents in various- section were snapped out of commission by the sharp display and. the entire atmosphere appeared to he surcharged with electricity. Early in the night the residence of Mr. Jno. R. Boyet, a painter, No. 216 Harnett street, was struck by the lightning and set on fire. Members of the family were in the house at the time, but were uninjured. However, they were driven from the residence in to the rain and their home came very near being completely destroyed by the flames. An attempt was made to send in an alarm to the fire department from several boxes in the vicinity but the alarm aystem had been4ncapacitat- ed by the electric storm and It was with difficulty that the firemen were reached by telephone. They responded, how ever, rapidly, despite the storm and dark streets, and reached the scene in time to subdue he flames with the loss of only the roof. Friends in the neighborhood came to the rescue and saved a large portion of the furniture but it was badly damaged by the rain which followed. Mr. Boyet had no insurance on his household effects. The building waa owned by Mr. George Heyer and the damage Is about $200. He had some insurance with J. H. Boatwrlght & Son. . The 8eashore Hotel, at Wrightsvllle Beach, waa also struck by lightning during a second storm which passed over about 13 :30 .o'clock. The cupola on the new annex, the south wing of the building, waa partially wrecked. the lightning having doubtless been at tracted by a flag pole on the same. The lightning ran into the building but spent its fury presumably upon the call wires In the building. The damage will not exceed $100 and is fully cov ered by insurance .with Col. Walker Taylor and others. Manager Hinton and a number of gentlemen In the hotel escaped without the leaat injury. It is learned that lightning rods have al ready been ordered for the building. Storm's Effect oa the Temperalort. Hail during the storm is reported from some sections and as a result thehtrt spell of last week was broken. The relief waa welcome, for the heat had been intense. Hundreds were driven to the seashore and down the river Sunday In search of the cool ocean breezes. The surf at Wrightsvllle was filled with bathers, and next Sunday upon the opening of the hotel, the number of pleasure seekers is expected to be double that of last Sunday. Sunday was perhaps the hottest day of the year. The maximum temper ature was 92 degrees and the mini mum 64. Saturday was a close second with 91 degrees maximum and 71 minimum. Even with those sizzling figures to look upon, Wilmington waa less unfortunate than most towns in the district For instance, Sunday, while Wilmington was sweltering, nncer 92 degrees, Charlotte and Che- raw were doing worse with a temper ature of - 94; Raleigh with 96; Flor ence, S. C, with 98, and even Greens boro and Lumberton were a degree above Wilmington, with 93. Satur day's figures on the weather bulletin comnare even more favorably. On that day Florence went to 100, Char lotte to 96, Raleigh to 94, Goldsboro and Greensboro to 92. STRAWBERRY SHIPMENTS COHTISUE. Forty-nine ears and a Few Crates by Ex press Sstordsy and Sondsy.

Memo rial Hospital where she had been' for treatment a short while. Mrs. Wheejer Is survived by two sons. The remains were removed from the hospital to the residence of the deceased, 804 North Seventh street, where the funeral was conducted at 11 o'clock yesterday morning by the Rev. O. : W. Kegley, pastor of St. Matthew's English Lu theran church. The remains were In terred in the family lot in Oakdale cemetery ; WILMINGTON, N. C. BIQ PRODUCTION BY RED MEN; Clever Company from Eyota Tribe Pre sented Blf Initiation Bnrlesqne tv Acsdemy Last Night Toar. The popular and laughable initiation burlesque "Are You a Red Man?" by a select cast from Eyota Tribe No. 6, I. O. R.M., of this city, waa again presented at the Academy of Music last night and the audience which saw and heard the the galaxy of clever specialities and sensational comedy turns that went to makeup the pro duction were highly pleased. The staging effects and costumes were of an elaborate, and. befitting character and the spectacular features were deci dedly original and of an -Interesting nature. The explosion scene in the third act In which "Ha ns, the Candid ate" is given an aerial stunt to do without his knowledge - or consent perhapV is both sensational and hum orous. His return' to the stage from thej'flya" relieves all anxiety, how ever, and the blood-thirsty "Injuns' are "Johnnie on the spot" with new, ways and means of torture. The part of the candidate is very cleverly por trayed by Mr. A. Watkina. "Murray, the Cop," in his Inimitable Irish dialect and witty sayings, ia cleverly impersonated by "Judge" McGowan, a noble son of Erin who thoroughly understands the charac teristics of those of his country-men who become guardians of the peace. The parts of the Great Sagamore and the Great Pequod, taken by Messrs. C. G. Langley and R. H. Cowan aire likewise worthy the commendation of the audience. Other members of the cast executed the war dances and su perintended the bonification of the candidate in a way that became the Biglojana" whom they represented. The line of specialties is professional. George Hewlett in his catchy monolo gues; his inimitable impersonations of the old-time dsrkey and other stunt, received merited applause while J. Keener Westbrook in his whistling solos was greeted by nothing short of an ovation. Daniels and Wilson came on with aback and wing dancing, specialty that was exceptionally clever. The company gave a picturesque pa rade on horseback yesterday afternoon, led by Hollowbush's Orchestra. This morning the "Injuns" leave for Wil son where they will present the come dy to-night; thence to Rocky Mount and Raleigh on the following nights. Q0LP CLUB WINS TOURNAMENT.
