Brighton.

The storm last Friday afternoon broke
the record. For nearly an hour there was
a continual blaze of lightning and crash of
thunder. It is regarded as the most terrific
ever experienced in this section. There
was but little damage done by the light
ming, but some very close calls. The only
loss the town insurance company has been
called on to adjust is a small one for E.
Moulding. Fortunately the storm was not
accompanied with wind, or there would
have been great damage done to crops.
Joseph Hoef has shaken the dust of
Brighton from his feet and moved his fami-
ly to Kenosha, where 1T is hoped he will
enjoy that peace and prosperity to which he
has been stranger during his short stay in
our town.
The young people in the western part of
the town are going in for good sociable
time this week. Monday night there was a
barn dance at Mr.. John Warren's. Mr.. and
Mrs. Ed Brook have invited their young
friends to attend social party at their
place Thursday night, and Friday night
the Peterson cheese factory, just finished,
will be opened with grand dance
Mrs. Broderick's little child that has been
so very sick with scarlet fever, is recovering.
Mrs. Evans is still very feeble.
Mr.. Herman Jackley is finishing the in
side of Mr.. Molitor's new house and it will
soon be ready for him to move in.
F. Gegan has engaged to teach the Pad
dock school another term. There are no
flies on Frank.
Farmers feel much encouraged with the
prospect Of the corn crop, as it has nearly
reached it's usual condition at this season of
the year.
Mr.. and Mrs. Ed Tigh rejoice over the
birth of a son. Just call Ed Spa" and take

| noticed Mr. J. Fl. Samnons getting
the black walnut from our township lately
he has been at work in the Myre valley
and it is interesting to see him handle
those large black walnut logs, some four
feet through. He handles them as easily
as men do wood. | was asking him how
he loaded these large logs on his trucks
He told me he only wanted one minute to
load the largest log after he had his trucks
set. All his paripherl ala for handling those
logs seems to be just right for strength and
durability. We are sorry to see those Old
giants of the forest going away They have
residents here, no oubt, for centuries, and
in may cases they are the delight of the
sportsman. Mr.. Sammons began at Wads-
worth last October on the Chicago & ST.
Paul r. r. to ship this walnut timber He
has shipped from Ranney, Russell and
Wadsworth about 80 car loads One could
hardly believe there was so much black
walnut in the county He is now TO ship
three or four cars from Wadsworth and one
car from Somers. Then he goes south, near
Joliet, where we understand he has pur-
chased large lot of walnut 1t is mys-
terry to know where Mr.. Summons ships
those logs, but it is a certain fact that they
go east somewhere, and are no doubt made
into veneers. There has been quite d
large quantity of black walnut in our county
and the owners have never realized for the
labor and expense of getting it off. What
they get from Mr.. Summons is clear gain,
as he takes the trees standing and is at his
own expense cutting, handling and shipping
| them. He seems to fully understand bis
| business.

One of the pleasantest events of the SUM

No lack of moisture.

A heavy thunderstorm last week Friday
Over an inch of rain fell During the storm

He first began to spar in music halls In Bos- ton, In 1S79 At that time he was an iron worker and he used to take keen delight in witnessing the bouts between the anna teurs on the variety stage
 II had been eoin' to these halls for @ good while, and had tried to get up bout with some of the sparrers; but they wouldn't have it. Try as I might, l was bluffed of by the story that I was nobody, and that before they would spar with mo must get out and do something. Now, was willin' but couldn't get show. But my time came. One night, whom was in the hall there was fellow who was to have spared with somebody-I forget who; anyhow he didn't show up, and the master of ceremo- nies came on the stage and said the other fellow, rather than disappoint the audience, was willin' to spar any gentleman who liked to step up.

 The brawny ''Boston Boy" evidently made light of his encounters with Joe Goss, George Rooke, Jack Donaldson and Steve Taylor, all of whom he met and van Quished before the fight with Flood. The latter battle was fought on 8 barge on the Hudson River, May lo, 1881. and Sullivan defeated his opponent tn eight rounds, lasting just sixteen minutes
 He was then pitted against Paddy Ryan, of Troy, to fight according to Lon don Ring rules for Sb,O00 side. The match seemed likely to fall through because of the lack of packers of Sullivan. As yet he was a stranger to the bigger sportsmen. Finally, some of the leading spirits of the Boston Crib Club took an interest in their townsman and James Keenan, the well known sporting man, who died lately, put up Sullivan's share of the stakes. The fight came off at Mississippi City, Miss, on February ', 1sS3, and Sullivan won in nine rounds. Ryan, who had won the championship bySa fluke some time previ- ous, went out of the ring for good.

SHAVING IN THE DARK.

Trouble With the Incandescent
 Lighting system Saturday Night.
 Through some trouble with the engine at the electric light station Saturday night the incandescent lights on one circuit were almost entirely extinguished The merchants were compelled to skirmish for light of any kind, and candles, lamps and anything in the shape of light was brought into use. In one of the under taking establishments candles had been arranged in row along the counter, and the proprietor informed the reporter that death had just occurred and he was hold ing a wake on the electric light. In one barber shop in the lower end of the city the unfortunate victims were shaved by the light of solitary lantern. Those who were fortunate to be on different circuit or had the arc lights were congrat- ulating themselves. It was an unforeseen accident and no one was to blame.

The Start to tho Battle Ground.

NEW ORLEANS, July S.-John l.. Sullivan and Jake Ktlrain, with dozen trusty henchmen, bade farewell to Now Orleans yesterday afternoon at 4 o'clock. Sullivan ana Kilrain went away together; that h, they occupied the same train, separated by g baggage car.
 The Pullman sleepers had been quietly chartered yesterday on the Queen and Gres- ent road and nobody knew it except Frank Stevenson aud Jimmy Wakely The rumor was mysteriously spread about town that Sullivan would be taken off on Lake Hon- chartrain on yacht and landed at 8 point on tho line of the railroad, and tho anxious ones haunted the street in the immediate vicinity ot tle "big feAow's" boarding | house in the hope of getting 0 straight tip. This was precisely what the crafty Mul- doon wanted. To carry out the deception l he did actually take Sullivan out of his quarters at o'clock yesterday morning and drove oil rapidly in tho direction of l back by another route. The street was silent and deserted and tho fighter made his way back to his room unobserved. Everybody in town thought ho had gene until Mike Cleary appeared at the St Charles Hotel about noon. and Muldoon l was discovered seated at tho window of tho boarding-house soon after. Sullivan was at that moment resting quietly in @ cottage in the suburbs, not milo from tho railroad station. He had been taken out ct 2 o'clock In tho morning. There he remained until 1t was time to take the train.
 The same policy was pursued with Kilrain, but there was less secrecy about It. He, too. was driven out In the country with "Popy" Moore, Frank Stevenson and Char ley Mitchell At 2B0 o'clock the party star ted for the station at short distance from tho city and entered their Car. Tbe Sullivan people wore already on board. The party consisted Of Sullivan, Muldoon. Cleary and Wakely. With Kiirain were Mitchell, Moore. Frank Steveson, ,and Bob Masterson, of Denver. William E. Harding, who he'd got un inkiing of what was going on. made his way to tho train and, not knowing one car from the other, got on the Sullivan special He was met by Wakely, who took him by the back of tho neck and tossed
 him of. No time mas wasted after the fighters and their friends wore seated. The
 engineer pulled tho throttle, and the train
 moved oil, bearing one man to victory and
 the other to defeat
