She was an in- duatrious and frugal person, and the mother of a large family, whom alis supported by her own : exertions. About 6 o'clock yestorday morning the Villace of Lake View was visited bya heavy thunder- storm. Dark clouds blew up from the north- weat, cathering in deusity and angry blackness, and heavily charged with electricity. ‘She clouds droke in rain, accompanicd by contioucd thun- der and flashes of forked lightuing. There came a blinding flash, aud then two tremendous peals of thunder. ‘Thestorm evemed to be but a tucal ‘one, and goon subsided, but within a brief space it was learned that the Hebtning had ‘etruck the house occupied by the Mark fami- ‘Ay, and that the mother lay dead there, slaln by “the tery flame, 4 Au.examination of the premises showed the course of the erratic destroyer, ‘The building stands on the corner of Bchool street and Shef- Hivtd avenue, a short distance back from the -roud, and a hundred feet or so from any other residence.

Wutor was thrown over her, but all uttempts at resuscitation failed, and death must have been alimost, tn- stuntaneous, Except on the face and neck there were no marks of burns, but it was sald tat the hatrping in the woman's, hair were fuund to be heated, and the handkerchlef whieh the wore on ber head was burnt ant stirlyeled, .
