St. John, July 31 - On Monday afternoon Frederick WEBB, an aged farmer of Jerusalem (Queens Co.) and son were engaged in hauling a load of hay. Before they reached the barn a terrible storm of thunder and lightning broke over the neighborhood. Mr. Webb was instantly killed and when picked up an indentation on the middle of the forehead was observed and the belief is that this was the spot where the lightning struck him.
