FREAKS OF THE STORM.

A Sudden and Unexpected DownpOur-
 A House Struck By Lightning-Several
 Trees Frustrated.
 Last nights storm seems to have been the breaking up of about month of dis agreeable wet weather. The real storm commenced at 9:30, and lightning and thunder played a prominent part during the night The fall was so sudden and heavy that sidewalks and cellars all over the city were we'll flooded. In front of the church of the Immaculate Conception at 1 a. m. boat could be used easily, while in front of the old St Patrick s chapel the water worked into recently filled sewer trench, tearing it out badly. The flashes of lightning were sudden and sharp, and several times were followed so closely by the peals of thunder that it was surmised that a number of places hereabouts had been struck. When par ties started from Thomaston this morning they found huge buttonball tree split in two lying across the road, and further down the road towards Waterbury several trees in the fields were racked. A house belonging to Laura Canal on Charles street, Brooklyn, was struck, the chimney knocked off, and the plastering in several rooms torn off, damaging the house about $2OO. The electric fluid ignited the woodwork and a fire wes threatened, but the inmates succeeded in quenching the flames after some few minutes work.

MRS FIDLER's STORY.
How She Lost Her Daughter, Who Sh
 Thinks is Bertha Andrews.

How She Lost Her Daughter, WhO She
 Thinks is Bertha Andrews.
 The woman who claims Miss Bertha Andrews of East Haven as her daughter IS Mrs Fidler of Walkill, Ulster county, New York. She has no proof of the assertion, but there is said to be striking resemblance in the features of the two. Her story, as told by an East Haven citi- zen, is that small fortune was left to her many years ago by relative h Germany, when the girl was about year old, and leaving the child with it's father in New York she went to Germany to look after the property. While she was absent her husband placed the child in an orphan asylum. Shortly afterward he was taken ill, and though his wife arrived in time to see him die she could learn nothing of the child. Mrs Fidler says that she adver- tised for the little one, but received no information concerning her. The woman gave up all hope and married again. The story of Miss Andrews's adoption by East Haven parties was told to her by German farm hand who had worked in East Haven, and she resolved to see if it was her daughter. Miss Andrews is now about 20 years old and is engaged to be married.

THE POLICE COURT. The Railroad Hill Boys Found Guilty of Injury to Property.

The Railroad Hill Boys Found Guilty of
 Injury to Property.
 The citizens committee at the police court this morning were treated to second chapter of the Charles Daley vs John Cronin, John Kelly and Edward Keenan trouble on Railroad hill week ago Satur- day night. It will be remembered that on last Thursday Kelly and Keenan were be- fore the court charged with breach of the peace in throwing stones at Mrs Daley's They were arrested d''hE ssc96d Sf dfteaps e1e live ever, on charge of wilful injury to pri- vate property. From all accounts, there must have been regular circus, contin- uation of the Circus Royal which showed at the ball grounds that night. The three youths testified that on their return from the circus they had a drink and were standing in front of Kelly's house, which is next to the Daley property. Suddenly an Italian ran out and fired a pistol at them. The street was alive with people in moment and some chased the Italian into the house and bombarded it with stones. The house at present looks like fort after 8 seige. Mrs Daley swore that the three prisoners were the beseiging party. The testimony was most Imaginable and at times caused the citizens committee to smile au- dibly. The three boys were found guilty and fine of s5 with one cost imposed appealed.
 | Frank Johnson IT year old youth charged with forgery waived examination and c. M. Mitchell gave bond of $25O fol his appearance at the next term of the su- perior court. Johnson formerly worked for William Moore proprietor of the Wa te1ville hotel. A few days ago he appeared at Scott's store and presented check fol $23 signed by Moore. Scott was itt'e afraid of the check, but being pressed cashed it, giving $20 in cash and taking $3 on an old bill. The next day Moore discovered the forgery and caused Johnson's arrest Johnson returned the money and it is prob able that the case will be settled before l coming to trial
