Hurricane Killed Thousands

Ponce. Island of Porto Rico, Aug. %.
1t is now estimated that the bodies
of $500 victims of the recent hurricane
have been buried, and that 1000 per-
sons were injured during the storm
and that 1900 people are still missing.
There are opportunities here now for
investors. There Is the greatest lack
of money for repairing damages, re-
planting and replcnishing stocks. The
alcaldes appointed committees for the
distribution of relief stores. etc. but
the military authorities objected to 1t.
Ponce is healthy, though bodies con-
tinuc to be found in the fields. The
authorities have decided to burn ths
ruins of Yabuco.

to the wlping out Of debts or to the
purchasing of new equipment. Unless

A BIT OF ADVICE.

Webster, Mass, June Is.
To the Editor Of The Spy
Dear Sir-Your paper is much read in
Webster and IL you have no objection
I should like to avail Of your kindness
and your columns to call attention to
wrong that is being peTpetrated on one
section of the town which il will take
us years to get over, if ever we do. To
make the matter as short as possible
let me say that the Electric Railway
and Light companies have been allowed
to locate their poles on the southerly
side of East Main street on land which
according TO the layout was and is the
roadbed.
Now a movement has been started to
avail of the land coded to the town for
the purpose of making East Main street
one Of the best thoroughfares in the
county. and it is to be spoiled from the
fact that the selectmen appear to be
hired by the corporation rather than
the town, that the expense the corpora
lions would be put to in relocating their
poles where they ought to have been
placed at first is more worthy of the
consideration of our selectmen than is
the appearance Of East Main street.
If the rights of the town have all To
go by the board so as to create a value
for the stocks of these corporations, Il
is perhaps as we'll it should be done IN
a barefaced manner, but does not this

Webster, June 16.-Proprietor Thomas
II. Dwyer of the City hotel, Webster,
who had a horse and carriage stolen
from him last Wednesday, secured all
the satisfaction he wanted this morn
ing, for the thief was captured and
tried, and fined $50. 1t all took place in
a North Grosvenordale, Conn, court
room, with Judge Tourtellotte on the
bench.
A stranger came to Mr.. Dryers liv-
cry stables last Wednesday afternoon
and hired a team to visit the resorts at
the lake He said he wanted to look the
ground over with a view Of starting a
show there, and that he would be back
in a couple of hours. Mr.. Dwyer let him
have a rig, which he values at a couple
hundred dollars and the stranger
started for the lake. Probably he never
went near ii. After some time had
elapsed over the time that the stranger
said he would be gone, the proprietor
commenced to get nervous and start
ed an investigation.
OF late Webster has been a cinch for
horse thieves. and the loss Of team
to Fred BenOit only last night has made
the liverymen still more wary.
1t was ascertained that the stranger
who had the rig was one Jack Smith,
who was employed in travelling show
that is now exhibiting in Quinebaug,
Conn. Mr.. Dwyer notified the surround
ing towns, and the officers had their
weather eyes peeled for any stray
showmen and teams. Yesterday morn
ing Smith drove into North Grosvenor-
dale with the stolen rig. Officer Trodeau
happened TO spy him and after a little
parleying placed the driver of the vehi-
Gle under arrest. The arrested man
proved TO be the right one.
The case was tried this forenoon. Mr.
DIVER, Officer TrOdeau, Otto Creger
Frank Laflame and Fred Armstrong
testified. The prisoner pleaded guilty
and had no counsel to defend him. He
was found guilty with a fine of 81 and
given so days in Jail. Smith requested
the court to change the jail sentence to
a fine. and the judge consented. Tbs
fine was S51.5O, and the prisoner was
taken TO Danielson by Officer Trodeau
where he said he could raise the money
