R. J. Bushell, president, and Dr, J. W. Edwards, secretary-treasurer of the Kingston Township Agricultural Association, addressed the council, asking for the use of the fair grounds for their exhibition next fall. On motion of Ald. Nickle, seconded by Ald. Chown, the request was grant- ed. The city engineer will examine the buildings to see if they are in safe condition. Dr. J. W. Fdwards was present to direct the attention of the council to a nuisance on the fair grounds, that caused annoyance to Kingston town- ship residents. Filth was dumped there that was dangerous to health, He hoped the council would rectify the matter. Thomas Lambert, Rev, T. E. Burke and James Craig, of the Independent Urder of Foresters, addressad the coun- cil on behold i a grant for the en- tertainment of the High Court of Foresters meets here in Au- gust. Otho ities gave grants, and Kingston hey said, coulnd't afford to fall behind other places. It would pay the city well for the council to give a grant. On motion of Ald. McCann, the mat+ ter was referred wo the finance com- mittee with power to act, Regarding licenses to peanut cans waggons to stand on the streets, Ald. Robertson said that merchants were objecting, as the carts blocked their places of business. Ald. Rigney said that the best way to sottle the matter was to leave it in the hands of the chief of police, ta act as he thought best in each case. The mayor said he had given leave to the carts at present on the streets to stand until Monday night, but he would .give them no further permit. He left the matter to the council. I the carts remained longer, they did so at their owner's risk, Ald. Elliott thoughi might be granted, placed somewhere not be a nuisance traflie, The mayor said if he had anything to do with it, he would not allow the carts on Princess street. Ald. Rigney remarked that he was of the same opmion. Ald. Rigney moved, seconded hy Ald. Elliott, that the petitions he re- ferred to the mayor and the chief of police with power to act. Ald. Chown moved in amendment, seconded by Ald. Aungrove, that the petitions be not granted. The Amendment carried on this divi. sion : Yeas--Mayor Ross and Alds.

Ease # Re | \ ed in works' report, Ald. thet some definite rule should be enunciated. Ald. Graham suggested that the 'rule should be that people be allowed to build ofie-third of the dis- tance from their house line to the walk line, Ald. Kiliott held that no encroach: ment should He allowed on city pro- perty. Xld. Niekle didn't agree with Ald. hdliott. There were several hun- dred 'porticos entroaching on the streets. Was it fair that these should be allowed to remain and new applica- tions refused ? He thought' that some principle should be enunciated whereby people w, desired to erect porticos should be allowed to do so on city land if they hadn't enough of their own. Ald. Hendérson said that no further encroachments should -be allowed, The present council wasn't responsible for the wrongs of other councils. As to property owners who had in past vears built on city property, they had a kind of squatter's right, and as the city's officials had taken no action, the encroachments had heen recogniz- ed. In discussing this matter, Ald. Henderson took occasion 'to adminis- ter a rebuke to city officials for laxity in their duties in not attending to dripping water spouts "on the side- walks and broken pipes in the side walks giving forth bad odors. Ald, Graham pointed out that by the erection of porticos and verandahs the assessment Was increased and the city reaped the benefit by additional taxes. The board of works will consider the matter and make a report. The finance committee recommended a grant of #100 to the military camp to be held at Barriefield in August; The recommendation was adopted. In connection with the light, heat and power report, recommending an increase of 300 in the salary of Manager Folger, Ald. McCann said that Mr. Folger had proved himself a capable man. He understood that Mr, Folger was competent to carry on the work of the plant without the assist- ance of dn expert. Ald. Givens stated that Mr. Folger assumed the full man- figement of the plant. The increase of salary was voted, Ald. Hoag raised the old question about the new gas tank. Ald. Givens stated that Manager Folger had in- formed him that as soon as the retort was repaired, he would call upon Nr. Campbell to have the foundation of the tank tight. Mr. Campbell had promised to have the work done, Ald. Elliott remarked that Mr, Campbell had asspred the council that the tank would be put in order, and surely that should be enough guaran- tee. Mr. Campbell was a man of his word, apd his reputation was at stake. The aldermen who were talk- ing about the matter simply didn't understand the facts of the case, The work of repairing the tank couldn't be done carlier, Rigney thought The Tender Accepted. Objection was raised by Alds. Gra- ham, McCartney and McCann, to ac cepting $175 from the light, heat and power department for repairs to cer tain ' streets damaged in laying gas mains. They considered it too small, and declared that it wasn't enough te repais the damage. Ald, Graham mov- ed that the tender be made $500, Ald. Givens stated that the city on- gineer had fixed the amount at $175. The city engineer was the board of works' , own representative, and its members should accept his opinion, Ald. Henderson insisted that the city engineer was wrong in his caleu- lations. It would take 8500, in his opinion to repair the glreets. refer red to. f Ald. Elliott pointed out that when a man like the city engineer had twice reported that $175 was sufficient for the repairs, after most careful calcu- lations, the eouncil couldn't do other- wise than adopt his figures. It was no use referring back the matter, after he had re-affirmed his figures, Ald. Henderson moved that the mat- ter -be referred back to the lijht and works committee and the city engi- necr for conference, and that a mutual agreement be, arrived at. Ald. Nickle thought that the enii- neer"s report was ambiguous ; that it didn't provide for new macadam |eing placed on the roads, but simply for levelling the bad places. Ald. Toye said be had gon: over the street in question and held that $175 was quite sufficient to place them in as good condition as they were before the gas excavations were made, Ald. Chown held that the city en- gineer's estimate should be accepted, as he was in the best position to know what the streets required. Ald. Craig siid that the encioeer's figures wero not to make the roads in question perfect, but to put them in the same condition as they were le fore the excavations were made. The roads were in bad condition before the excavations were made. {Continued on Page 3.) -- Be Ready To Heal It.

MICH DAMAGE DONE BY THE FIERCE LIGHTNING STORM. Several Farm "Buildings Burned-- Cross of St. Mary's Cathedral Demelished--Small Fire at General Hospital. It is doubtful if a worse lightning and rain storm ever hroke over King- ston than the one which held bere for three hours on Monday No one remembers more vivid light. ning, more crashing thunder, or a greater downpour of rain: The storm was the worst that has visited here in many vears. It wpe; perhaps, only excelled by the terntic hurricane of September, 1996, when trees were up- rooted and 'buildings blown down. Monday night's storm, however, wrought more havoe, ior many places throughout the district were destroy- ed by fire, and great damage was done in other ways. At half past pine o'clock the first mutterings of the storm were dis- cerned by vivid lightping tlashes in the west and northwest. 'Half an hour later there were low mutterings of thunder as the dark and heavy clouds rolled on. At hall past ten o'clock the sky was full of stars. Fifteen minutes later it was dark with cloud. At eleven o'clock rain began to fall, and increased to the sheet volume. The lightning Hlashed and the thunder rolled. Hall an hour later there was a lull, and it was' thought the storm had rolled by. But it hadn't. It was really not begun. Again the rain came down in torrents, and the light- ning grew fiercer and fiercer. The thunder crashes were terrific snd put fear into the hearts of Fighteous and wicked alike. © Many of the lightning flashes were so vivid that they fairly sizzed. People on Princess street, es- peciaily, could hear clectric and tele- phone wires respond to the electricity sent forth from the clouds, and the burning ont sound. The storm was at its worst at mid- night. At half-past 'twelve o'clock the storm lessened in fury and con- tinded to decrease, though the thun- der rolled and rain fell for a long time afterwards. The rain was a Godsend. It came just in time to do the most good to the crops. The meadows and grain fields were beginning to show the need of moisture, and this stormy sav- ed the situation, and made the farm- ers jubilant. A cow ownediby, Nathaniel Stanton, Barriefield, was 'strack by lightning, and killed. At one o'clock, this morning, the fiicmen wore called to the general hos pital. While the storm was in pro- gress a fire had started in the Wat- kins' wing, believed to have been caused from the wires. The wood- work was set on fire, but the blaze was Soon extinguished, and the dam- age will not amount to much more than 830. The hospital staff knocked a hole in the wall and set the insti- tution hose at work Futients nearby wre remaved as soon as the blaze wan discovered, The handsome gilded eross on Mary's cathedral fell a prev to storm. The cross was struck by lightning about 12.30 o'clock, and was shattered into-small pieces. Peo- ple passing the church early this morning were able to seenre pieces of the cross for souvenirs, but late on in the morning, everything had been cleared away. The cross was broken off at the base. Some voung men who were caught in the storm while on their way home, and who went into the porch at the Y.W.CA., had a good view of the storm, and saw the cross break off and fall to the ground, "1 was_ looking over towards the church," "said one of the pparty, to- day, "and as the sky brightened up, I noticed the cross snap off. The lightning was awful. We intended to go over and sce what damage had been done, but it was so dark that we did not go." . The party consisted of five, and they were - huddled up in the porch from about 11.30 o'dock until nearly 1.30 o'clock, The cross was about fifteen feet long, and made of wood.

The crew of the steamer Howe, which arrived in port at sgven o'clock this morning, state that they had about two hours' rain during the night, but that the electrical part of the storm was not very severe, An electric light at the corner oi Queen and Montreal streets, fell to the ground and was smashed, during the storm. The storm at Wolfe Island was just as severe as in the city, and the rain- fall was very heavy. The lightning played all sorts of pranks, and like the majority of 'Kingstonians, the re- sidents o the island got very little sleep while the storm was on. \ "One of the worst storms we have had in years," said an old resident of the island, this morning. All the people coming over on the boat had a story to. tell about the storm. About midnight, while the storm was raging, lightning struck a barn owned by Mrs. James Coyle,, and rented to Rodney Yott. The barn was completely destroyed, with some machinery, a top' buggy and farm im- plements. The blaze was noticed hy many Kingston people. A valuable horse, owned by Richard Jolton, Wolfe Island, was struck by lightning and" killed. People who happened to be in the vicinity of Cataraqui bridge, this morning, witnessed quite an extraor- dinary sight, that of seeing a score or more very large pieces of marsh floating down the river, washed off Belles Island. "It looked the Thousand Islands," marine man. The river was dotted with these pieces of marsh. One: large piece, about the size of a small punt, drifted into the wharf at the G.I.R. freight sheds, and ol the tied it up to the wharf. The water washed up over all the wharves during the storm, and this morning, the water was a little high- er than usual. When the storm broke, the city council was in session, and after ad- journment, most of the aldermen re- mained in the police, station, waiting for the rain to cease. The civie fathers looked pitiful, huddled up in the narrow corridor inside the station door. Seats were provided for them, and they sat in great fear. When the city clerk passed out with an um- brella, wey looked after him with longing eyes, but as the clerk is, a big man, the umbrella wouldn't cover two. Some of the aldermen sat there until after one o'clock. The residence on Johnson street, oc. cupied by Mrk, James Sherman, was hit and shingles were torn off the roof on the rear side. The shingles took fire but the rain quickly damped out the blaze. Lightning struck the residence of Ernest T. Roberts, 19 Division street, and knocked several bricks off the chimney, and gave the members of the household quite a scare. The roof of the police station is in very bad shape, and it is high time that some repairs were made. During the heavy storm the rain came through in several places, and made it. very disagreeable for the blueconts who were inside. Twenty-five miles cast of Kingston not a trop of rain fell last night, nor was any lightning seen. Napance got the deluge.
