Among the recent nominations sent to the Senate by the President was that of Mr. Roger Culver Tredwell, formerly of this borough, as American Consul at Bristol, England.

An Exciting Incident at Bellport. The most exciting topic of conversation 'last week among the remnant of. the summer colony still; remaining at Bell-port, L.I., was occasioned by a bolt 'of lightning which struck.

the cottage on Howell's Point Road occupied this season by Mr. and Mrs. Bayard S. Litchfield and their family. This; occurred last week Thursday, evening about seven o'clock, r-That no one was injured was providential seeing that the bolt "struck apparently near the junction of a' chimney with the dormer window of a room in which there were two servants at the time that Mrs.

Litchfield's two children were asleep in a room adjoining and that she herself was sitting in the living-room on the ground floor by the fireplace which opened into the chimney near which the discharge occurred.

Several ornaments were thrown from the mantel in the room where Mrs. Litchfield was sitting and the andirons knocked over, while of course all the electric lights 1 i. 11 -1.
