The turrltory in and around Sagl-
naw was RiiMected to the most de
structive electrical storm remembered
by the oldest Inhabitant laHt Sunday.
The bri I h of 1 1 Kh tn I n K played havoc
with the telephone linen, trees and
buildings. I'p at Lynx Hollow every
telephone was knocked out of com
mission, and In many cases torn
from the walla and destroyed. The
insulated wires melted and ran out.
The firm place to receive damage
from this storm was the Saginaw
boarding house. Fortunately . this
was not occupied at the time or most
disastrous results might have hap
pened, possibly loss of life. A bolt
of lightning struck the side of the
roof, making a small hole, going
oompletely through thte structure,
demolishing the Interior and making
a huge hole at least ten feet In di
ameter In the Bide of the building.
The telephone was wrecked, being
torn from the wall, and everything
metallic melted beyond recognition.
It Is at tills place. It In thought, the
lightning followed the wires on Its
course of ruin.
The next place visited was that of
J K. Noet, where the "Juice" tore
off a couple of boards from the
house, burning out the 'phone, and
Jumped to the local telegraph wires
leading to the home of C. J. Queen.
Here it followed the wires across
the woodwork, tearing1 off several
boards. Two polos were shattered.
and thus the lightning went on its
course up Lynx Hollow, hurling great
trees to tne ground In bii (Intern mid
destroying telephones. j
Other houses were struck, hut
with little damage. The lightning
was accompanied with rcuorts' like
that of a pistol, and a number of the
Inhabitants were badly frightened
ftu viuven had a telegraph Instru
ment which was pretty well melted ns
a result of the electrical visit. This
was without doubt the worst storm
that section has ever had, and none
are hankering after another such ex
perience. Cottage Grove Western

Boston, Mass., Sept. 10. A four
days' celebration was inaugurated
1n Boston today in observance of the
centennial anniversary of the Insti
tution of the first grand lodge of col
ored Masons In America. Nearly all
of the 42 colored grand lodges of
regular Masons in the United States
and Canada have sent representatives
to the celebration, which Is being
condncted under the direction of the
Prince Hall grand lodge, V. & A. M.,
of Massachusetts.

negro residents of Hoston and vicin

In 1775., Prlnre Hall, then 97 ran

groes were authorized to work under

ized by charter.
Prince Hall was not content with
the limited powers contained in the
dispensation from the army lodge
Ho petitioned General Joseph War
ren for a charter. His request was
entertained, but before action could
be taken Warren fell at Hunker Hill.
Hall then applied to the provincial
grand master of modern Masons of
Massachusetts for a charter, This
petition was rejected on account of
his color.
Prince Hall nnd liU fyilit,r

eigners for that which had been re-

1784, he asked tho grand lodge of
