A CHILD BURNED HY LIGHTNING..
A most remarkable disaster by lightning
occurred at Ashley, a Buburb of Wilkes
barre, Pa., at half-past three o'clock .Sat
urday afternoon. There were n few clouds
in the sky nt the time but no sign of a
storm, except far off to the west, where
a few 'thunder-head"8 were visible. No
tain was falling, and the atmosphere was
close and extremely hot. At the time
named above Cora Deardon, four years old
was standing near a window on the south
side of her residence, drinking a glass of
root beer, The window was raised abont
ten inches from the sill and the child stood
about a foot from it. Suddenly a loud re
port was heard and the little girl was sent
flying across Ihe room. Her .mother, who
was in another apartment, ran to her aid
and raisfcd her from the floor. The long
ti iwing hu'of t!.child was io dime, -
which her m)ther soon extinguished by
wrupjiing her apron about the head of the
suff.-rer. A physician was subsequently
ca I d and it was found that her neck was '
ncircled with a huge blister, her face
burned in several places and her hands
badly ii.jurid. The shock to the child's
systi m Whs terrific, but it is thought that
no fatal result will follow. The bolt
seemed to c me from a clear sky, as no
more thunder was heard until night at 8
o'clock.
