A STROKE OF LIGHTNING.
Mrs. Porter Warner Made Unconscious
for Hours and Others Affected.

The people of the village were again
startled by a stroke of lightning Saturday
afternoon, about $50. The electric fluid
connected with the earth on Prospect
street, and Mrs. Porter Warner, who lives
in Mrs Shumway's house on Washington
street, was severely Frustrated. She was
sitting at the table, and when the flash
came she put her hand to her side and fell
forward unconscious her husband catch
ing her before she reached the floor. Mrs.
Warner was like one dead until after mid
night. Then she had several frightful
spasms. Until Wednesday her condition
was considered very serious Since then
she has improved, but is still suffering from
numbness and extreme weakness, and it
will be some time before she fully RECEIVERS.
People who saw the stroke from dis
lance say it looked like a sheet of flame
Those living on Prospect street saw smoke
following the flash. A hole several inches
in diameter and two or three feet deep was
found on the bank in front of P. F. Crowns
house. This was where the lightning evil
IDENTIFY came to the surface of the ground.
A furrow was plowed about ten feet to the
foot of large oak tree. On the top of the
tree the leaves are withered as if by fire.
Sunday 1t was discovered that a maple tree
in front of +. H. Thomas house had been
struck. This tree is about so feet from
the oak. The maple was somewhat splint-
cred. One theory is that the lightning hit
the maple, entered the earth, ran along a
gas pipe, and came out at the large hole.
Mr.. Crown says that the lightning APP
peared like the bursting of large ball of
fire. For a moment it seemed as if the
whole house was being shattered Mrs.
Crown partially lost the use of one hand
until the following day, and Mr.. Crowns
young son complained of the effects of the
electricity in his legs.
Mrs. j. c. Dewitt, who was sitting near
the front door in the house of her father,
Mr.. Thomas, was affected by the shock.
ID. p Cobb who was on the Vernon road,
felt il so severely that he could hardly walk
home. Mrs. Ramsdell of Pearl street and
several others in different parts of the vii
lage also suffered from the stroke. The
incandescent lights about town were ex-
tinguished. Hundreds came to Prospect
street Sunday to see where the giant had
left his mark

GRANGE NEWS.

Last Monday evening Protective grange
instructed a class in the first and second
degrees. A short talk on the potato blight
showed that as yet not many had dis
covered any upon their fields. One man
has field that he has had to spray, and in
so doing left row near the edge and one
in the middle of the field. The blight has
increased fast on these two rows, while
upon the remainder there was but little in
crease after the application of the mixture
One other farmer has applied the remedy,
using spraying machine. One of the
specimens brought for examination showed
wilted tops without any apparent cause;
Others had noticed the same thing on their
potatoes. This could not have been caused
by the blight. One appeared as if caused
by too strong application of paris green !;
on another the cause of the brown leaves
could not be determined. Working of the
third and fourth degrees in full form will
be the order for July 25. A.

Sanford Daniels, who has this week re-
turned from his visit to the Worlds Fair,
was an eye witness of the fire Monday on
the grounds in which so many lives were
lost. He was but two or three blocks
away when the fire started, and reached
the spot before the tower fell, or before all
the tiremen had left it, and saw one of the
poor fellows make the leap which proved
his death. He confirms the reports of the
noble deeds of tiremen and others, and saw
one brave fellow dash back almost to the
middle of the building, with the flames
reaching out at him on all sides, to rescue
body from the fire. He speaks of the
scene as one of grandeur, if one could for
get its awfulness. A singular effect was
produced as the covering of staff on the
building burned, rolling back in blazing
sheets from the sides OF the building.

Canvasses located on Riverside Park. OF the
above named shows the Granville, N. Y, Sentinel
has the following to say: Coles circus appeared
here Monday and was greeted with an attendance
at each performance that taxed its seating ca
pacity to its utmost, AS a circus of the old fash
ion one ring order it far surpassed the many col
ossal shows now travelling by rail. This circus
came in town quietly by wagon, made ordi
nary show in the street parade, but gave SUI
perior performance and more than pleased I'll
those who witnessed it. The actors were all
modest in action and language, the canvasmen
quiet and orderly and the absence of innumerable
fakirs was noticeable. The show is under the
personal supervision Of Mr. Cole gentleman of
high morals, who believes in paying all bills on
sight and having everything right. There are
larger but less me ritorious shows travelling than
Coles circus" Admission, adults, % cents; chill
dren under ten years of age in the afternoon,

SUNDAYS BLAZE.

G. +. II. Jenme's House or oak street
Rurned---The "FItruI Kerosene" stove
the Cnuse---IIousehoId Goods Saved Rt
the Expense of Several sunday Suits
On Sunday, Just after II o'clock, noon,
an alarm of fire was rung in from box ~,
and i'm a short time crowds of people we're
making their way toward the north part OF
the village. The fire was found to be in
the L of c. f. Il. Jennes house on Oak
street and was bursting from the windows
and roof before the fire department arrived.
In u minutes after the alarm was given
three hydrant streams were playing on the
fire, and shortly after there were added two
streams from the steamer, which was
placed at the reservoir in front of o. e.
Randalrs house. Owing to the low state
of the reservoir the first streams were OF
less force and effectiveness than usual, but
good work was done by the department
The fire caught from an oil stove in the
back room. Mr.. Jenne, who was reading
on the veranda was reused by the cries OF
Ellen Calnon, the woman employed about
the house, that the stove was on fire. lie
found that in some way the flames mad
reached the opening through which the
stove was filled, and the outside was all
ablaze An attempt TO smother the ire
was unavailing, and in trying to remove
the stove from the house it was found too
hot to handle, and the burning oil was
scattered about the room. The alarm was
given at once, being pulled in by S. W.
Richardson, who was in the vicinity. Mrs.
Prouty, an invalid lady who lived upstairs,
was helped out and taken to Mrs. Hough-
tons on High street, while the neighbors
from every side at once went to work with
a will to remove such things as might be
saved. S. B. Emerson and Judge Tyler
with garden hose, wet down the barn and
doubtless saved that from burning. From
the front part of the house, the lower floor,
nearly everything was saved, but Mrs.
Prouty's goods were nearly a total loss. The
rear part, where the fire started, being open
to the roof, was soon a mass of flames,
which communicated to the roof of the
main building, practically running it. Miss
Calnon, in attempting to reach her room
and rescue her belongings, was scorched
about the face and driven back. She lost
everything
Mr.. Jenne's household furniture was in
sured in the Sun of London, and l.. S.
Hayes of Bellows Falls was here Tuesday
to adjust the loss. The building was in
sured in the New Hampshire Fire company.
1t is understood that Mrs. Prouty had an
insurance of 500 on her household goods
Mr.. Jenne and his wife had planned to
go next week to the Worlds Fair, and be-
yond to Cincinnati and to Lincoln, Neb.,
but they will now remain in Brattleboro
and as soon as possible begin to rebuild
their home

A DAY OF RUNAwAYs.
Four ON Tuesday, and a Deal of Pluck
shown I'm stopping Two of Them.

Tuesday was day of runaways Mr..
Smith Of Putney was driving near the rail
road, when his horse took fright and ran.
Mr. Smith and his daughter were thrown
out, the former having his hand quite badly
hurt. The horse dashed up the street, and
the carriage struck one of the electric light
poles and was demolished. The horse ran
along up Main street and out Elliot street.
with the shafts and whihietree dangling.
The shafts grazed but did not break the
window of Danyeaw's barber shop. The
horse was finally captured farther out Elliot
street.
\ pair of Mr.. TaylOT's horses were draw
ing the " donkey engine" near Fenton's
blacksmith shop, when the steam roller
aroused them and they ran rapidly up the
hill. DIR. Button seized them by the bits,
and was dragged to the front of the
Peoples bank before he succeeded in stop
ping the animals. The lookers-on thought
DIR. DuttOn would be crushed but he held
on pluckily. These horses narrowly missed
the large plate glass window in the bank.
Another exhibition of pluck was given
by young Miller of Holyoke, son of the
chief of police of that city. 8. n. Herricks
horse attached TO an express wagon, was
running down Main street, when Young
Miller sprinted out from the Y. NJ. C. A.
rooms, seized the reins, and stopped the
horse in front of Thompson & Rangers.
Miller had just arrived in town, having
ridden from HOlyoke on his bicycle during
the day.
In the evening the horse owned by Mr..
knowlton,. who extinguishes the street
lamps, fell on Clark street, and horse.
harness and carriage were mixed up pro-
miscuouslyr although no real damage was
done.

ANOTHER DROWNING.
Eddie HeoD Fell from the Logs into the
Connecticut River.

Connecticut River.
The third drowning accident this year
occurred Tuesday afternoon, when Eddie
Heon, aged - son of George Heon, lost
his life in the Connecticut river, south of
the island He was in bathing with Lester
johnson and Fred Root, two boys about
his own age. johnson and Root had come
out of the water, put on their clothes, and
were on the bank several rods from Heon.
They heard his shout, and turned to see
him sinking. He did not rise to the sur
face. He could not swim, ventured out on
the logs and fell into the water His COM
panions do net know whether he had lust
fallen into the river when first seen, or
whether he had already been under the
water and had come to the surface. Thew
shouted to log men on the lower island,
who at once came in a boat to the spot
where HeOn disappeared. The log men
could see nothing of the body, and men
who dragged the river with graphing irons,
and Mortimer StOddard, who dove repeat
edly, could not find it. There is very
swift current in the river at this point, and
II is quite probable that the body went
down stream.
HeOn was bright, promising boy. His
father is employed in Hildreth IL Riggs
carriage factory, and the family have lived
on Elliot street. They came here from st.
Johnsbury, and the mother was there at
the time of the drowning The search for
the body was continued Wednesday, but
without success. Mr. Heon has the log
men farther down the river ON the lookout
for the BODY
