STRUCK by llCHTNING.

Mrs. Henry l.. Branch was struck by
lightning at her home in this town on
Tuesday afternoon. during shower, and
narrowly escaped death. She is improv-
ing. however, and at last accounts the
chances were more than even that she
would recover.
Mr.. and Mrs. c. l.. Branch, their son,
Henry L.. and his wife live a mile south
east of the village on the road to East
Middlebury. The house is a story and
a half high and faces the south. The
room occupied by the young people is
up stairs in the east end; under their
room is the kitchen, which has an outside
door. Between , and o'clock Tuesday
afternoon storm came up, accompanied
by much wind and a little thunder and
lightning. The bulk of the storm passed
three or four miles south. Here in the
village there was only a sprnkling of
rain. and no one noticed any loud thun-
der. While the storm was in progress
Mrs. Branch was dressing in her room.
The last she remembers she stood in front
of a mirror. The elder Mrs. Branch sat
in the kitchen sewing. All at once there
was tremendous racket and the lower
part of the screen door of the kitchen
was blown in pieces. Smoke appeared

broke out. The younger woman was
found on the floor gasping for breath.
She did not revive for some time. The
lightning struck her on the head burn
ing the hair, then leaped to her chest,
and after following the body foot or so.
jumped to one of her legs, burning it
quite a little. Where it travelled from heI
person till it broke the door below can
not be seen. The shingles on the root
and the ridge board of the house were
torn up and splintered; two shelves OF
books and papers in front of the window
near which Mrs. Branch stood were
thrown down and their contents scat
tered all over the room, and Mr.. Branch
watch, which hung not far away, wa
lifted from its hook and flung across the
apartment.

\ large pile of manure outside the
barn of the Green Mountain Pulp com
pany's upper mill took fire from sponta
neous combustion early Tuesday after
noon. The wind was blowing hard, and
had the flames gained any Roadway there
would have been trouble. as the barn is
not far from the mill. But the big fire
pump was gotten into action very speed
lily and the fire quickly succumbed. The
damage amounts to nothing.
Sunday, Monday and Tuesday were as
hot days as are often experienced here
abouts. The worst of them was Monday.
when the thermometer got up to 81 to 06.
Monday night was hot, too, so that few
people slept, which made the heat of
Tuesday all the more unbearable. Tues
day night the wind changed into the
north and afforded relief. Wednesday
and Yesterday were much cooler Down
in the cities the torrid wave caused much
suffering and some deaths. 1t was 90 in
New Y ork on Monday.
Messrs. Stockbridge Il Lafayette. who
have been doing business at West Sails
bury since about the lst of April, on
Tuesday leased Mr.. Tupper's saw mill
here and will soon take possession.
They are young and apparently capable
business men. who came up into this
country from Greenfield, Mass, to try
the merits of new method of making
hoops for butter tubs, barrels, etc 1t
works admirably and they remove to
Middleburv in order that they may OBJ
tain facilities for doing a larger business.
The market f)r this class of goods is said
to be excellent. Most of the hoops used
by Vermont manufacturers are shipped
from Michigan. 1t is quite likely that
Messrs. Stockbridge Il Lafayette will
add to the making of hoops the manufac-
ture of wooden ware. At any rate, they
promise to add considerably to the bust
ness of the village. About 20 hands will
be employed.

Overlooking the Beautiful Severn

The large aud beautiful building
lots at West Annapolis are popular,
and deservedly so. These lots lie only a
few blocks from the business centres of
the city. A ten minutes walk will reach
them. Those having business or en-
ployment in Annapolis can live there
with great convenience. They are heal
thy, nothing to make them otherwise.
The drainage is good and the lots are
elevated, so that water flows rapidly
off into the surrounding streams aud
river. The soil is good, so that every.
thing grows luxuriantly and gardens
and yards respond readily, so that
whether trees or vegetables or flowers
or the beautiful green sward, all soon
combine to surround the home with
beauty and abundance. Here you have
city and country in rare combination,
and such views and glimpses of the
Severn and the bay in the distance,
with its shipping, also the splendid
sketch of varied shore line up the Sev-
ern toward Round Bay, that here at
West Annapolis as no where else
around the city can every advantage
be found to invite the builder of the
home cottage to locate and be happy.
Building viii soon begin and spring
sales at West Annapolis will start up
with rush. We want Annapolis men
to turn out in force so that every per-
son in the city who wants home will
come in ahead and make and secure a
good selection. Now is the time to
buy before the great spring rush.
Walk out and quietly look over the
ground and purchase good lot. one
that will make you desirable home.

On Severn River, in Anne Arundel
county, from one to two miles out of
the city of Annapolis, is the large and
handsome old tract known as Melvin's
Truck Farms. These consist of some
of the best farming lands in the state.
The soil is good and the situation high
and healthy. Good water, markets
convenient. Severn river at this point
is quite salt and affords good oyster
grounds and fine fish. Vegetables of
all kinds are readily raised here, and
fruits such as strawberries, raspber-
ries, blackberries, grapes, peaches,
pears, apricots and apples are produc-
ed of the finest quality aud in great
abundance. 1t is just the soil and To-
cation to conduct the business of
truck farming successfully. The fin-
est melons are raised here too and of.
ten at great profit. These farms are
within mile of railroad station which
is only about % miles from Baltimore.
These truck farms range in size from
q acres to 10 acres. Prices, 800 to
$1,000, payable So to $40 per month.
You can thus pay for your farm with
the money you now pay away for rent.
You will own it. You can provide a
home for your wife and children by
just saving a little every month. 1t is
better than a savings bank. Ii is q
healthy place for the little ones to
play and grow strong. Everything
you plant will be on your own land.
You can have your horse, your COW
your chickens, your vegetables, and
yonr fish and oysters-all you need
some to sell. Buy truck farm and
prosper.
Work upon the new bridge over
Weems Creek, connecting these farms
with West Annapolis is being rapidly
pushed forward by contractor Glow
The cap stills are now being placed; in
a few days the sleepers and flooring
will be laid. Walk out and take looI
at the improvement.
