Girl Killed by Lightning.

Allegra Eggleston Seelye, a graduate of Cornell University, and granddaughter of Edward Eggleston, the author, was found dead in Cascading Gorge near Ithaca, N. Y. She was found hanging by her feet from roots over the edge of the bank shortly after a violent rainstorm. The position in which she was found and the condition of her indicate that she had been struck by lightning and fallen over the bank. ,
