An electrical and rain storm broke over this city last night, and for a possible half hour the rain fell as hard as ever before this year, while the surface drains in all parts of the city were taxed to carry off the water that fell and many of the streets appeared as ponds for several minutes The home of Mr. Barron Forrest, which is located on Pine Street near Villa Place, was struck shortly be fore S o'clock when the electrical storm was in its greatest fury. It is little short of marvelous that all of the five persons in the house at the time were not killed outright, while it is a fact that only one of them was stunned by the bolt. The five room, one-story residence is wrecked the plastering and ceiling in every room in the house is knocked down, the weatherboarding is ripped off the sides in some places, while two of the brick pillows were crushed. The round porch posts at the front of the house were split as though it was done by a woodman. Blockaders at Work. Greensboro Record.

Mr. Duke has been fighting typhoid fever three weeks, and though doing handsomely, was less well today than he has been. . He has ever remembered the institu tion on commencement periods. The address of Secretary Na'gel, of President Taft's cabinet was the feature of today's exercises. A mark edly handsome person is the gentle- . man who came on aspecial and good naturedly chose to defend President ' Taft rather than deliver tedious hom- i ilies to his class of men and women.
