Fun.
She CONFESSES TO THEFT.

New York, June 20.-Hanging her
head and apparently overcome by the
shame of her position, Fanny McPher-
son of Worcester, who confessed to
having stolen $500 worth of clothing
and silverware from the apartments of
Mrs w. c. Woolley at the Hotel &C.
rard, was arraigned before Magistrate
Wentworth in the West Side police
court, today, entered a plea Of guilty
and was held in $500 for trial.
Neither friends nor relatives appeared
in court, and the young woman appar-
emily did not expect any. When the
judge finished with her case, Fanny
turned her back on the crowd and with
face to the wall, stood choking and
sobbing.
I'm guilty; I did it and I'm willing
to take my punishment" she said. Il
didn't do it for myself, but for an
other!"
HE told me must get some money,
and I thought he had paid my hotel
bill. 1 would never have come to this
if my folks had not been so strict with
me. They are good church people. 1t
was my disposition to want a good time
and have fun. They were hard on
mel"
The one thing that seems to trouble
the girl is her future after Auburn
prison, to which she expects to be sent.
A description and a photograph of
her have been sent to Providence, at
the request of the police there.
Miss Mcpherson refused to state who
the man in the case is.

West Brookfield, June 20-The barn
and outbuildings owned by B. P. All
ken were completely destroyed by fire
at II o'clock tonight, entailing n loss
of $500. All of the stock, except some
calves and eight pigs, were saved.
Nearly all of the wagons and farming
implements were saved. Twenty tons
of fine hay went up in smoke with the
large buildings.
1t is supposed that the fire was caus-
ed by a bolt of lightning during the
heavy shower earlier in the evening
and probably smouldered for some
time. When discovered the fire was
burning fiercely in the caves.
Had it not been for the heavy down
pour of rain wetting down the roofs

Street and the Crowd

AN old MAN ASSAULTED BY ONE.

East Brookfield, June 20.-A lot OF
excitement was occasioned tonixht by
woman and child RAINING diong the
street and across Depot s9rdre, shout
ing for Deputy Sheriff Tarbell.
Mr.. Tarbell was away, but in response
to her appeal for help, about 80 men,
women and children rushed to her aid.
II appeared that a company of five
men, two of them dressed in the uni
form of the United States army, had
assaulted Joseph Normandy, an aged
man, who lives near River street.
The daughter of Mr.. Normandy i'm
mediately ran for help, and a band OF
men were soon in close pursuit of the
aSsailants, three of whom had started
on run along the Podunk road.
One of them had but one leg, and was
obliged to use crutches. The men
were soon overtaken.
There was no officer in the front ranks
of the pursuers, but the men were sur
rounded, and one of the men was col
Jared. The other, Reno by name,
threatened to shoot into the crowd, bat
this was only a bluff, as he was not
armed.
The men were arrested by officer
JOnn j. carney ana conveyed 10 the
local lookup, where they gave their
names as Charles Reno, Charles Beers
and Joseph La Platte, and their resi-
dence as Spencer. Beers and Reno
were attired in the uniform of the
Twelfth regulars, and Beers claims to
belong to Co. c of that regiment. Both
went through the Cuban campaign, and
Reno was mustered out a short time
ago.
To representative of The Spy, Reno
defined the trouble as follows:
I'VE We're over on that street looking
for a friend of ours, Howe by name,
when we were hailed by one of Mr..
Normandy's daughters, and invited
into the house. We went in, but had
not been there a minute when Mr.. Nor
mandy appeared and reviling us with
all kinds of rough words, ordered us
from the house.
He then struck at Beers who par
ried the blow. Before he could hit us
again, 1 struck him, and we left the
place. offered no resistance when the
officer came up to us, but / did object
to being stopped on the road by people
who had no legal right to interfere"
Mr.. Normandy is not seriously hurt
though his face bears evidence of the
strength of Reno's arm. His youngest
daughter Miss Celia, is suffering from
a nervous attack, brought on by the
fracas. DR.. Remillary is attending
both patients.

THE WORST THIS YEAR.
lightning struck Congregational Church
and Hose House

Rutland, June 2O.-The worst thun-
der storm of the year struck Rutland
&his afternoon, and created much havoc
about town, though no one was injured
Telephone instruments were burned out
and rendered useless. Great black ana
gray clouds swung down upon the town
from the north, and, after spending
their fury, passed off to the west and
south.
The lightning was binding, and the
peals of thunder terrific. A heavy
downpour of rain washed the roads IN
a serious manner in some parts OF the
town. ii.
During the fury of the storm, light
ming struck the spire of the Congrega-
tional church, creating havoc. Parts
of the spire were wrecked, and other
damage was done to the main building.
The loss to the church will be quite Sc
rious. The society carries an lnsur-
ance.
The new hose house was struck and
damaged to the extent of 800. The
sight of the electricity in the clouds
was weird and grand. 1t is impossible
TO learn the exact extent of the dam
age done, but it is likely to be very
heavy.

STORM IN WORCESTER,
Clouds Hang Low and Rain Falls in Per
feet Torrents.

Old Sol retired from the arena yes
the schedule time and a black cloud
thathad all the points Of those described
in a tornado gradually worked its way
up from the northwest.
1t gave fair warning of its approach
but when it got into position it let go
and for an hour water poured down
fast enough to satisfy the most earnest
prayers for rain that has been uttered
for many months.
The shower affected the running
of the trolley cars on different lines
in Worcester and a car on the Green
street line became enveloped in a haze
of blue flame that made the passengers
think about other things.
The government weather man for this
section, Ralph E. Knowles, who looks
after the elements from the top of
State Mutual building, caught the rain
fall at two one-hundredths of an inch,
but the man who got caught out in it
without an umbrella would be willing
to swear that 200 inches would not be
a slightest exaggeration.
The lightning got in a few well d.
rected cracks and hit a tree on New
bury street with enough force to SPLIT
it almost in two. Part of it fell across
the street and blocked the thorough
fare for the evening. A tree at Wesby
and John streets, on John street, was
struck and one of the limbs fell across
the sidewalk.
A solitary half dollar was lying on
table at the public library late yester-
day afternoon when stray wisp OF
wind came along and carried the coin
clear across the table and on to the
floor. Other stray articles, such as
books, chairs, maps, ETC., escaped the
elements.
The street railway lines were incon-
venienced a little, but nothing of Sc
rious nature was reported. A slight
breaN on Providence street, which al
lowed the trolley wire to sag, delayed a
car at the foot Of Providence street for
about half an hour at 10 o'clock last
night. 1t was reported at the Market
street car barn that one of the trolley
wires was down at Gates Lane early In
the evening, but investigation proved
that the trouble was caused by the
breaking of guard wires of the Worees-
fer and Suburban line, which permitted
both trolley lines to hang so low as to
nreyent cars passing. The trouble was
Ienorted at the Leicester power station,
but before the linemen from Leiceeter
arrived the trouble had been remedled.
A fuse on a leicester bound car, near
Fremont street, was burned out, ana
the power cut off about O'Clock last
evening. but aside from this no dam
age was reported from this line, The
Millbury branch suffered no incon-
venience.
The shower was unusually severe
north of Worcester, and the power was
shut off from the Clinton line for about
three hours, and a half last evening.
one car was stalled at Adams square
from $40 until S.45 O'Clock, when the
current was turned on.
AT the telephone office comparative
" little local trouble was in evidence

CAUSED A RUNAWAY.
Lightning Was Vivid at Spencer Though
eu, Little Damage Resulted.

Spencer, June 2O.-The lightning this
afternoon was the sharpest yet seen in
town during the past few storms. A
large flash of lightning this evening
illuminated the front of Dickerman's
newsroom. Lightning struck the troll
lev wire of the Warren and Brooktield
line. and large flashes darted from the
wire.
F. A. Biscoe, a farmer living on Main
street while delivering milk this even
ing, left the horse alone for an instant
on the corner of Elm and Chestnut
streets.
The horse became frightened at the
lightning and dashed up Chestnut
street at full speed. He narrowly es-
caped collision with a twO-horse team
in front of the Winsor House.
A small boy standing on the corner
Of Maple street stopped the runaway,
and returned it to the owner. A few
cans of milk spilled was the only loss.
