railroads normal condition. and ru- mors from Washington Of probable early action on tariff matters.
 The falling on in east bound ship ments from Chicago last week. some of the roads not having moved a single ton. had no effect. nor did the talk about the heavy losses sustained by the companies during the strike, the opinion prevailing that the roads will be able to make up the losses by the institution of economies in operating during the next half year or so Conse. quently with the tariff out of the way. operators would not hesitate to espouse the bull side more actively. American Sugar was again the feature, selling up from % to lo29l0ois@i0l The strength of this stock was due to the impression that the company will get what it wants in the way of protection from the conference committed For the same reason Distillers fell from 22A to 20A9 #. it being agreed that If the sugar re- .fning duty Is not reduced dlstilling Interests will receive less than expected Chicago Gas moved up to 77%. but later receded to 78%0h.

DON'T WANT 4 DRAWBRIDGE.
West Haven People Opposed to apraw
 Over West River.

West Haven People Opposed to apraw
 Over West River.
 There was good sized attendance at the special town meeting held in the town hall, West Haven. last night for the purpose of advising the selectmen in the matter of the proposed new drawbridge to be built over West river on Kimberly avenue.
 The meeting was called to order by Town Clerk Thomas, and Selectman Russell was elected moderator. Speeches were made by c. E. Thompson. who was opposed to the drawbridge. Israel A. Kelesy next stated that he thought that before the bridge was built that the channel should be dug out. and that he opposed the drawbridge; Senator Gra- ham was also greatly opposed to the bridge as it would entail very great expense to the town and nothing would be gained. Others who spoke In opposi- tion were Lawyer c. K. Bush. w. Hine. D. B. Wheeler, John McRille. Senator Graham introduced the following reso- lution.
 At special meeting of the citizens of the town of Orange held July l6, 1894, to consider the proposition to compel the town to establish a draw In the bridge over West river on Kimberly avenue,
 Whereas, The citizens of the town of Orange hear with great surprise of a plan or proposition to compel the town to establish a drawbrldge over West river on Kimberly avenue, and as we have neither asked for nor desired the construction of such an obstacle to the convenient traffic and passage to and from New Haven, and,
 Whereas, It will impose a large and unnecessary expense upon the town, not only for its original construction, but also perpetual expense for its mainte- nance and operation, and,
 Whereas, Public convenience does not require such drawbridge but on the other hand requires that there be no such obstruction to public travel as the drawbridge would produce, now, therefore,
 Resolved, That we, the citizens of the town of Orange, instruct and authorize our selectmen to employ counsel and to oppose the scheme with all the legal and proper means.
 These resolutions were passed with but one dissenting voice after which the meeting adjourned.

That Grand Avenue Fire.

Herman Greenberg, whose place on Grand avenue was burned Sunday, returned to this city yesterday. He knew nothing of the origin of the fire nor could he account for it.
 He stated that he purchased the store of his cousin, Hyman Greenberg, on May 22, and on the first of June had the stock insured in New Hampshire company for $1,SOO.
 The circumstances surrounding the fire made inquiry necessary, but no positive steps have been taken in the matter

SAD ACCIDENT IN TWISTED.
Miss Lillie Richards Injured by Fla Due to Sudden Flash of Lightnin

Miss Lillie Richards Injured by a Fall
 Due to Sudden Flash of Lightning.
 Winsted, July 16.-At about 1 o'clock Saturday afternoon, while the festivi- ties at Highland Lake were at their height, sudden shower came up which caused picnickers, cottagers and others to hurry under cover. The effect of the storm at the cottage of George Richards was serious. Miss Lillie Richards had just stepped into the kitchen when there came flash of lightning. At the same instant her brother Albert, who was in the room, heard scream and, turning, saw his<sister falling across the stove, in which a hot fire was burning. He rushed to her and pulled her away in time to prevent her being burned, but she was almost unconscious and re- mained so for some little time Since then she has been utterly prostrated and is said to be to-day in a critical condition. Her brother, Dr. w. S. Rich- ards, was immediately summoned and has been with her most of the time since the accident.
 It is not thought that Miss Richards injuries are due directly to the light ming, but that she is suffering from con- cussion of the spine caused by striking her back on the stove as she fell. There were no marks of lightning on her cloth ing or person, but there is severe bruise. That the lightning undoubtedly affected her and caused the fall is prob- able since her description of her sensa- tions at the time of the flash is that she felt "all shrivelled up."
 There efs.no appearance in the neigh borhood of a powerful discharge of cleo tricity. IA platform inathe rear of Cap- tain Lees cottage, next to MT. Richards was torn up slightly and pan which was on, it thrown distance of thirty feet ormore and round hole pierced in it. It is supposed that the discharge of electricity by lightning was only par tial,, the rest of 1t being dispersed by the telephone wires and other agents.
 This afternoon Miss Richards condi- tion is reported as about the same.

Augusta Journal
Charles B.Swett, prominent grocer
of Amesbury, Mass. says:
you may wish to know my expert
encce with Vitalized Nerve and Blood
Tonic. I have been extremely nervous,
easily exhausted and at times unable to
work, complicated with this was an i'm
poverished condition of the blood. Medi-
cine seemed to have but little effect on
me, and by the advice of my druggist,
Mr.. Edward H. Bahan, I began a treat
ment OF Vitalized Nerve and Blood
Tonic. The result of the first bottle
clearly indicated that it was adapted to
my case and after having taken three
bottles am feeling like new man, abb
solutely free from that careworn-feeling.
My blood is in good condition and feel
no effects of the nervousness. I never
knew anything to produce such remark
able results in SO short time, and
recommend it in the highest terms
possible, as too much cannot be said in
praise of this wonderful medicine. I
wish you would publish this as others
who are afflicted as / was may try it,"

How the Candle is Burned at Both Ends
for Some Debtors.


A mortg ge was discharged IN the Guy
clerks office yesterday, which illustrates
the usurious rates charged bysssome money
lenders. A poor woman had borrowed one
hundred dollars, giving as security mort
gage on $500 worth of personal property.
The note which she gave was dated March
8. 1892, and after specifying the usual
promise to pay, stipulated that the interest
should be $4.25 month until the note
should be paid in full. Thus the widow was
bound to pay $3.50 yearly for that loan
until the last cent of the principal should be
Inundated. She is about to go to the aims
house.
Another curious case is brought to MIND
by this incident. young man asked OF a
money lender loan of eighteen dollars
proffering note for eighteen dollars
secured by mortgage. The money lender
reserved three dollars for advance interest,
giving the borrower fifteen dollars in cash.
and arranging for interest at the rate Oh a
dollar and a quarter a month. Having
made these terms the youth went on his
way rejoicing. This was less than a year
ago. He has now paid twelve dollars in IN
terest, and the creditor is pressing MIN fof
the eighteen dollars principal.

MUSIC AND DRAMA.
A Temperance Town.

Charles Hoyt presents three clever de-
lineations of character in three of the
principal personages in "A Temperance
Town." although of course the author
is much indebted to the actors for this.
First comes Mink JONES'" the town
drunkard, typical New England
character, good-natured but lazy and
good-for-nothing. played in his own
inimitable style by George Richards.
Next is "Bingo Jones'" son of Mink"
and fast following in his fathers foot
steps. until love for pretty girl changes
his opinions upon many questions and
makes man of him much to the amaze
ment of his father. AS BingoD Eugene
Garfield has a part that he has made
peculiarly his own in his own quaint
manner. Last comes "Uncle Joe Wall"
the Oldest man in town. This part has
won for George ODER the reputation of
being one of the best eccentric character
actors on the American stage. These are
only three out of over score of the
personages who will be seen again at the
Portland Theatre next Monday evening
when "a Temperance Town" plays its
second engagement.

makers is sure to attract large atten-
dance at the Portland Theatre next

a half the trials and tribulations of

Mulligan will serve to keep every body in

course, the Mccarthy of the piece, and
is as entertaining as ever. Mr.. ". F.
Carroll will be seen as Mulligan and will
prove a capital second to Ferguson. Miss
Marguerite Ferguson, winsome little
body, danced herself into favor in this
city last season and has added several
new features to the remarak BILE exhibit
