THUNDER AND Lightning.
Several Vermont Towns Suffer from
the Storm of Last Week.

Reports from numerous places show
that the recent thunderstorms were
very destructive. At Chester it was
the worst storm Of the season. The
roads were badly washed and the
lightning struck in several places near
the village. On the road between the
Union Soapstone company's upper
mill and Chester Main street eight
trees were uprooted and torn into
splinters by the lightning. Telegraph
and telephone wires were badly dam
aged.
At Woodstock large barn on the
Blake farm was struck by lightning
and burned, together with $50 tons OF
hay, all the farm machinery, etc. Loss,
1000; insured for $4,000.
AT st. Johnsbury there was heavy
thundershower of three hours dura-
ton. Lightning struck in six places.
A new house owned by Frank La
course was totally destroyed. Loss,
$4,000; no insurance. There were
two washouts on the Boston Il Maine
railroad, one mile below the village,
30 feet wide, which delayed all trains
six hours. Great damage was done
Herald and news. [volume] (West Randolph, Vt.) 1878-1943, 1898-07-28
to highways, crops and trees.

10 highways, crops ana trees.
At Richford a large barn filled with
hay belonging to B. A. Hendricks was
struckby lightning and consumed with
contents. Other outbuildings were
burned with the contents, including
hogs. The farmhouse was also burned
but the household effects were saved.
The loss as far as known is about
s., 900. Insurance not known.
Another storm seemed 10 start in
the hills west of the town of Water
bury, making a circle which included
Mt. Mansfield, Stowe and Montpelier,
where rain fell in torrents. The car
on the Mt. Mansfield electric road was
stopped a mile beyond Waterbury
Center by short circuit and no cars
could be run during the day.
w. G. JENNIE of Rutland was struck
by lightning near South Londonderry
Thursday forenoon and was instantly
killed. JENNIE and A. e. Gibson of
South Londonderry were riding in q
buggy on their way to Chester when
the bolt struck them. Mr.. Gibson's
side was paralyzed and the horse
knocked down. 1t is thought that Mr..
Gibson will recover Mr.. JENNIE was
about 38 years old and was an insur-
ancc agent.

A serious accident occurred in
Woodford last Thursday afternoon. A
man named Camp, who is in the en-
ploy of the Harbour Bros was driv-
ing heavy two-horse lumber team
over what is known as the Mallory
bridge on the Woodford highway.
The bridge gave way, precipitating
man, horses and wagon into the stream
below. Camp was considerably cut
about the head and one arm was seri.
ously bruised. One of the horses was
slightly hurt and the wagon was
smashed.
Hon. Edwin A. Rogers, who recent
ly died in Sonora, Cal, was born in
Newbury IA years ago. He was a
graduate of Harvard college in the
forties. He studied law with the late
Judge Underwood at Wells River,
and went to California in 1852 where
he gained much distinction at the bar
and on the bench. At the time of
his death he stood at the head of his
profession and was a Vermonter of
push and brains enough to be an
honor to his native state. He leaves
many relatives in Newbury.
Five steel steam canal boats have
commenced running ON the Cham
plain canal. 1t is not generally known
that Hon. Henry Stanley OF Poultney
was the inventor of the steam canal
boat; also Of many other practical and
useful inventions. Mr.. Stanley was
once a wealthy manufacturer, the
first president of the bank of Poult-
ney and a member of the first senate
OF Vermont. He died in extreme
poverty at Troy, N. Y, and was
buried at Poultney and for many
years his grave was unmarked. A
few years ago the citizens of Poultney
and Troy, N. Y, erected a monument
to his memory, which was publicly
dedicated.
Ii is probable that the next legisla-
ture will be asked for an appropra-
ton to provide better and more suit
able accommodations for the speaker,
clerks, messengers and reporters of
the House. Several state officers have
been in consultation OF late with Sar-
geant-at-Arms Phinney in regard to
the matter. The most feasible prop
osition, and the one accompanied
with the least expense, seems to be to
finish off the store room
and engine room at the rear of
Representatives hall, connecting
them with a corridor, from a door
near the speakers chair. Plans and
specifications for the change mention
ed will probably be made within the
next two months.
The copper mines at Ely were al
one time the third largest in the
United States. Recent developments
in Orange county bid fair to bring
that section again into prominence in
the mining world. The rich veins OF
ore recently opened in the Elizabeth
mine, at South STAFFORD, prove that
this lead Is capable OF profitable de-
velopment. The Elizabeth mine is
owned by the Tysons of Baltimore,
Herald and news. [volume] (West Randolph, Vt.) 1878-1943, 1898-07-28

men OF large experience in mining.
They have just refused $500, 600 for it.
Rich veins have also been found in
Royalton. The Boston and Montana
experts who have visited these mines
say that ii these properties were To-
Gated in the copper regions OF the
West they would DC booming. All
copper experts agree that with mod
ern machinery and methods of smelt-
ing the Vermont copper mines can be
made great dividend producers and
there is no reason why the copper in
dustry should not rank with the mar
BILE and granite industries of the state.
Arthur Baybrook, 9,who says that
his home is in Stratton, was arrested
at Bennington last week charged with
completely in the burglarizing Of
Brown a. Ryder's store in West
Wardsboro June "a, also the postof-
flee in the store. He had in his pos
session gold watch alleged to have
been taken from the store. He claims
TO have received it from another per-
son. lie also had other iewelry in his
possession. He was locked up in Jail
but later Postofiice Inspector Willis,
accompanied by several deputy sher-
iffs and postmasters, went to Cam
bridge, n. Y, and secured several
watches that the prisoner had traded
of, al-o horse and wagon that he
had left. Willis and the deputies took
their prisoner on train for Benning-
ton. When between Eagle Bridge and
Hoosick Junction the lad was allowed
10 go TO the closet. When the train
reached the Junction the boy was not
TO be found. Investigation showed
that he had opened window and
jumped out. The chagrined officials
spent large portion OF the night
looking for him but he was not found.

Two Young Men Disappeared.

l.. 2. Spooner OF Barre left Mont
pelier about ten weeks ago for Bur-
lington to canvass for silver plating for
the Cotton Manufacturing company.
Since that tine nothing has been
heard from him and his parents are
inclined to think he has gone to the
Klondike.
The whereabouts of Alphonse, the
IS-year-old son of Mr.. and Mrs. Pros
per TranquilIe of Burlington, is a
mystery. About six weeks ago he
went to his grandmother's in Montreal
and stayed about one week, since
which time he has not been seen.
Whether the young man became de-
spondent and committed suicide or
whether he left Montreal is not known.
