Nov. 10, 1900.  On Wednesday evening about 10 o'clock we had
a thunder-storm.  The lightning was very vivid followed by qutie
loud peals of thunder.  Yesterday morning the thermometer
went very low, then lowest this far for the season standing
but 1° above freezing, in fact, in some locations, ice is said
to have formed.  It was quite rough and early pedestrians say
it snowed very lively for a short time.  This was followed
by high winds all day.  This morning we started out,
thinking the weather would be very mild, it had become
much warmer and there was hardly any wind.  We planned
a trip to Lansdowne and there intended going to Relay by way
of Sulphur Sp. R'd & Catonsville Av. and then to the Ravine.
We took the 7:30 A.M. train.  Reaching L. we saw and heard
of the dreadful accident that happened to Mr. [Timon] a baker, and his son
while crossing the tracks with his wagon & mule.  The poor
animal was lying there on the side stiff and the wagon
near by broken into kindling wood.  Mr. T. had waited to 
allow a freight train to pass only to run in front of one of
the fast express trains, the "Royal Blue".  He escaped with
few injuries, but his son, seems to have been hurt very much.
