Telegraph Poles Blown Down and
Trains DELAYED.

All yesterday afternoon thunder
storms ragged throughout Connecticut
but, strange as it may appear, only one
very small shower fell here. In tho
afternoon although the sun shone
brightly here the buzzing and sputter-
ing Of ,he telephone in the DEMOCRAT
of &c when connection was made with
NV Haven showed that storm of
huge proportions was raging close by.
A cold breeze came up about midnight
nd many who suffered from the op-
pressive heat early in the night awoke
this morning with cold chills.
Early last evening during the heavy
rain storm there was quite a miniature
whirlwind at Melrose, near New York
and blew down telegraph poles along
| the line of the New York, New Haven
& Hartford railroad almost as though
they were match sticks. Scores of
poles were thus precipitated. some
across the railroad tracks, delaying
trains for over an hour before the tracks
could be cleared.
The house occupied by II. T. Dexter
in Talcottville, was struck by lightnin e
during the storm. Lightning entered
on the eA&' side and shattered every

The woman told pitiful story that she
was trying to raise money to pay her
husbands fine, as he was her sole sup
port. She has seven children to care
for: baby was in her arms which was
slowly dying of consumption. A boy of
hers was in the prisoners box on a
charge of vagrancy. Ill luck seemed to
have set upon the family, the woman
having buried a child only a week ago.
1t was a case that aroused the sympathy
of all present and Judge Bradstreet dis
charged the woman.
Michael White, John White and
Thomas Harmon, three boys, were
charged with vagrancy and sleeping out
nights. Officer Galley found them at 2
| O'Clock this morning in a hack sleigh
under shed belonging to Mrs Carmody

that he went home at o'clock last
| night, but was locked out. The three
boys then went into the hack to Sleep
Judge Bradstreet adjourned their cases
until next Saturday.

| abusive. He prepared his own dinner
He went home latter in the day and
found her still intoxicated. Later he
moved some of his things to his sisters
house. His wife is now in the town
house sick. Attorney Burpee, who
acted as prosecutings attorney, thought
the woman was to blame and Judge
Bradstreet discharged Smith.

Charles Calabro, charged with breach of
the peace, were fined So and costs each.
The latter claimed to be innocent and
took an appeal.

- DIAMOND RorILlNa WORKS
A Reporter shown Through the Factory
BY Manager ,Jac0ues

Reporter shown Through the Factory
BY Manager jacques.
About half a mile from Union City,
situated in quiet valley, is the factory
known as the Diamond Bottling works,
of which Jean Jacques, the popular
opera house owner and manager, is the
proprietor.
A few days ago upon invitation of Mr.
Jacques a DEMOCRAT reporter visited
the factory. Thousands of empty bottles
piled many feet high attract the at
tention of the visitor as he approaches
the factory and the interior is amply
provided with all the necessary ma
chinery for conducting the business.
Less than year ago Mr. Jacques pur
chased the plant from James o. May of
Naugatuck, and now the fame of the
factory is known far and wide. Back
of the works flows a little stream of
crystal water. The reporter carefully
inspected every part of the works from
the ten horse power engine to the
empty cases in the cellar. Mr. Jacques
makes his soda, ginger ale, sarsaparilla
and other drinks from pure syrups, and
from water taken from the Diamond
Rock spring, which dates back to the
first settler in Union City. The water
is carefully filtered and bottles are
cleaned by four machines and many
pairs VI uanuS DeIOr6 Gney go TO the
machines which fill them at the rate of
twenty minute. These machines fill,
cork and seal the bottles very rapidly
and are a marvel of mechanism.
In one corner of the factory stands
several tons of corks and patent SEALS
Mr. Jacques output is about $500 bottles
a day. He sells his beverages in every
state east of the Mississippi. All
the buffet and dining cars running
on all railroads to Chicago
handle the product of the Dia-
mond works. Many foreign orders are
also received and at the rate that orders
are coming in it is expected that the
works will soon have to be enlarged
Twelve men are engaged daily under
the direction of Foreman Frank Scott.
Mr. Jacques has introduced new drink,
diamond orange ale, which is sure to
become popular.
In the cellar barrels of soda, ginger ale
and other drink are awaiting shipment.
Handy cases for family use are also
made up, and in all respects the plant is
most complete.

Two Alarms Sent Out From Box 324 in
the Brooklyn District.
The fire department responded to two
alarms last evening. The first was sent
in from box 1924 at No As house at z
o'clock. The fire was in the wooden
building at the corner of Bank and
Riverside streets and was caused by
some bedding igniting from a carelessly
thrown match. The fire was put out in
short order by a stream from Protector
company's hose. The building is owned
by Matthew Shannahan and occupied by
Italians as fruit store.
The companies had returned to their
quarters only to be called out again
from the same box. The fire this time
was on the top floor of the Mitchell
block on the corner of Bank and South
Leonard streets, in rooms occupied by
Michael Conway. A lighted lamp had
been left standing on bureau in a cor
ner between two open windows. The
draft caused the lamp to explode. MI
Conway succeeded in smothering the
flames with a feather tick and some
blankets. When the department ar
rived the fire was out. The damage
was small.

tor, secured the goods upon a writ of

Stray Leaves From n Reporters Note
Book.
"Do you know" said a knowing
granger the other day, ''that one-half of
what are now sold as new potatoes are
not new potatoes at all? They are sim
ply last falls potatoes that were placed
in cold storage warehouses as soon as
dug, and, being kept at one temperature
all the time, look as fresh as the day
they were dug, and are now selling at the
price of new potatoes. You can easily
tell the difference if you know how. If
the potatoes are new you can rub off the
skin with your thumb; if they are last
years crop, you can't.
In this progressive age the capabilities
of the printing press are almost I'M
limited, and perhaps there is some ex-
cuse for the honest citizen who called at
tie DEMOCRAT office the other evening
to have an inscription printed on cross
which he carried with him. 1t was
fully five feet in heie hit and of massive
build. He seemed surprised when told
that it was the province of the painter
rather than the printer to execute such
work as he wanted done.
Reporter Joe Cullen of the Republi.
can, VINO renowned the WOrlQ last
week, was made the victim of a cruel
practical joke that completely upset all
his well laid plans. Before starting on
his wedding tour he confidentially
whispered to the newspaper boys that
no one meeting him in Washington
would for a moment suspect that he was
| a benedict. But Joe reckoned without
his host. Upon arriving at the capital
he and his charming wife were driven
to Wizards hotel. Rushing up to the
desk Joe seized pen and registered in
regular married man fashion as if he
was used to it. The clerk examined the
the signature, smiled on Joe, shook his
hand as he would that of long lost
brother, congratulated him and paid his
respects to Mrs Cullen. The porters
flocked around the now embarrassed
groom and between them all he had a
hard time of 1t. The commotion was
all caused by a small white card, tied tc
one of the handles of the trunk and in.
scribed as follows:
Nobody knows we are married.

with the most approved accommoda-
tions for horses. The horses and carri-
ages were saved. The fire caught in
the room occupied by the hostler, and is
thought to have originated from the ex-
plosion of lamp. The loss is partly
covered by insurance,

UNsIGHTLY POSTAL CARDS.
The New Styles of Cards Not Meeting
With Favor.

The folly of not letting we'll enough
alone was never better exemplified than
in the case of the new issues of postal
cards. The present card is too plain to
please the ladies so the department have
gotten up card of paper thick enough
and soft enough to serve as a first class
liver pad, decorated with blotch of
blue ink. A few of these may be pur-
chased as curious specimens of art gone
mad, but it is safe to prophesy a very
short life and extremely small issue for
them.
Then some s3.called business man
complained he could not write a
column of instructions on his postal card
and immediately a blanket sheet is
ordered that is SO big pockets have to be
enlarged to carry them, and corners get
turned down and edges rumpled at that,
and the real business man continues to
condemn his communications and finds
plenty of room on the old style card.
