HAVOC WROUGHT IN VERMONT,

The thunder storms that disturbed Cen
tral Vermont Wednesday afternoon were
much more severe in the western and
southern parts of the State. At Middle
bury severe electrical storm did consider
able damage to the telephone, telegraph
and electric light wires. Lightning struck
the large hay barns OF j o. Walker & Co.,
burning them to the ground. An alarm
was runR in and the hose companies re-
sponded promptly but could do little except
protect the buildings near by. The com
panies had the hardest time they ever had
in getting to the fire, as the heavy rains
which flooded the st eets made the water
fully foot deep, The barns contained
about 100 tons of baled hay and 80 tons of
loose hay. The loss is estimated at $4,000
and is partly covered by insurance.
AT Vergennes ball OF lightning struck
the telegraph wires at the railroad station
doing considerable damage 1t came down
the wires, melted the switch board and the
keys OF the Instrument, completely wreck.
ing the whole outfit and also setting tire TO
the wood work of the office. There being
plenty OF help at hand the fire was put out
before it had time to do much damage
The residence OF Allen Norton of Addi-
son was struck by lightning. Only few
OF the less valuable household furnishings
were saved, making an almost total loss.
The property was insured for $500 The
electric bolt struck the chimney on the ell
part. The inmates thought the barn had
been struck and began examining it, when
much to their surprise the fire broke out in
the house
AT Woodstock the streets were flooded
and goods in cellars were badly damaged.
The storm swept through South Pomtret,
demolishing several buildings, washing
roads, uprooting trees and leaving high ways
and fields streWn with broken limbs and
branches. The damage was mostly done in
territory about mile long and half a
mile wide and there we're few spots where
there was not some evidence OF the iercest
storm that ever struck that section. Two
storms appeared to meet over the little vii.
lage OF South Pomfret, spending its fury in
few minutes. Streams rose four feet in
twenty minu es. The largest maple trees
were broken off at the roots but farm
houses strangely escaped damage save in
one or two instances,
At the old Winslow farm in Pomfret the
barn was blown from its foundation and
the roof OF another lifted off and the shin.
giles scattered for hundred rods. Four
cows were caught in the ruins OF one build
ing but were gotten out uninjured. An.
drew Harding OF Pomfret is one OF the
heavy losers. He had several tons of hay
cooked up in the field ready for the barn
and also some oats, which were washed
away In the stream.

THE LEVIN FIRE.

William b. Burpee, of Manchester, N,
H., sdjuster for the New Hampshire Fire
Insurance Company which carried $1,000
insurance on the stock OF the Capital Cloth.
ing store, was in town ON Wednesday aud
Thursday, and az result the store is again
in the charge of the police.
Simon Levin values his stock at 50 900,
which is covered by insurance, but he says
the fixtures are not.
Mr.. Burpee had doubts about the valua-
ton at the stock and demanded that Mr..
Levin should lock up the store, keep out
himself and leave the stock just as 1t lays
until 1t can be invoced.
Mr.. Levin did so Thursday and the store
was guarded on the outside by Chief De-
merritt, and will remain under police sur
veilance until after an invoice ia taken by
an expert whom Mr.. Burpee, who left for
Manchester this noon. will send here to do
the work.
Simon Levin said that now both he and
the police were on the outside, and fears
that he will have to go TO law before he can
get any insurance. 7. X. Gordon, whom
Mr.. Levin consulted in regard to Mr.. Bur
pee's action, said that the case was pecul-
lar one and he could not say whether Mr..
Burpee's position in the matter would stand
legal test or not.

master W G. Nye OF North Montpelier, the
JOURNALS correspondent from that locality
"Willam G. Nye of North Montpelier, who
is well known about the State OF Vermont
for his beautiful and strong feeling for the
brotherhood OF man and his integrity OF
character, has presented to the Universalist
church OF this village a memorial window
in memory Of his father and mother, his
father being a musician and his mother a
poetess, and these characteristics have been
accented by the introduction OF a Tyre at
the Top of the window and a scroll at the
bottom, The central part OF the window is
taken up with landscape treatment in
glass entirely, ithout enamel 1t is to be
regretted that the window could not have
remained in the city longer that more
might have seen it. Certainly the church
is to be congratulated upon the receipt OF
this beautiful tribute, aud Redding, Baird

pliments for the success which they have
attained in its execution. To attempt 8
worthy description of it would require col
umns of our paper.

TO SUCCEED COL. COFFEY.

The annual meeting Of the trustees Of the
Vermont Sold ,rs' Home was held on
Wednesday at Bennington. The report of
the SUPERINTENDENT sho we'd that since he
home was organized there have been 423
admissions and 1872 deaths. The member
ship, June 80, WAS 70, admissions during
the year were 81, and deaths 10. Thirty
three inmates have been care for in the hos
pital
The report OF the auditors showed that
the receipts during the year were $40 TAI. SO
OF this S8,005 was from the State appropri-
alton, 1892 81 from the general govern
ment, I, ON y nsions, SO, l16 II. The total
disbursements were ST., 55970. The amount
paid by the State was about 50 900 less than
the year before Hugh Henry was re.elect-
ed president; John U. s earns, treasurer;
g. O. Kinsman, secretary.
The trustees unanimously elected Col.

Common Colds.

We all know only too we'll the common
cold. 1t actively commences by causing
tickling in the throat or nose due to
congestion and eventually ascends or
descends, as the case may be, causing
all manner of stuffy discomfort. 1t is
not perhaps sufficiently recognized that
the common cold is most infectious The
germs, whatever they may be, have
way of running through household. The
first infected member of family ought,
II 1t We're practicable, to be put into
quarantine, so as to save the rest of the
clan. Unluckily colds may be caught in
the trolley or the train or any place of
public assembly. Sad to say, places of
worship are great breeding places OF
colds, because the ventilation is not
usually OF the best, and the air, being
overmuch used by the congregation, be-
comes of low quality, 80 that the re-
spirer of such air often falls an easy
prey to the germs which are responsible
for colds. The unlucky man who, wiser
than his generation, insists on opening
windows, often gets much abused for
causing a cold by creating a draft But
the mischief was probably done before
the breeze began to blow.

it is passed off painlessly, without danger.
Therefore, Calcura Solvent, the full name
of this greatest medical discovery of the
age, exactly defines what the medicine
does and how it does it. 1t goes to the
cause of disease, removes it, and the cure is
lasting. At the same time it tones up the
whole system, regulates the bowels, puri-
fies and enriches the blood, and strengthens
the nerves. All this is necessary, for a
serious disease of one great vital organ al
ways involves others. Oalcura Solvent was
discovered in 1898 by that veteran ply
sician and surgeon, DIR. David Kennedy. 1t
has cured thousands. Kidney disease af-
hicts in many ways. Do not fritter away

great cause is sapping away your life. CAL

TWO GHOST STORIES.
The Phantom on the Ship and the
ScOWling Lord Bridport.

In his "Story of My Life" Augustus
Hare tells a number of ghost stories,
from which are the following:
In November, 1878, Mr.. Herman Meri-
vale related the following story: "a cap
tain was crossing to America in his ship
with very few sailors on board. One day
one of them came up TO him on the deck
and said that there was Il strange man
In his cabin; that he could see the mans
face, but that he was sitting with his
back to the door at the table writing.
The captain said ii was impossible there
could be any one in his cabin and desired
the sailor to go and look again. When
he came up, he said the man was gone,
but on the table was the paper Oh which
he had written, with the ink still wet,
the words, Steer due south The cap
tain said that as he was not pressed for
time he would act on the mysterious
warning. He steered due south and met
with ship which had been long disabled
and whose crew was in the last extrem-
ity. The captain of the disabled ship
said that one of his men was a very
strange character. He had himself pick
ed him up from a deserted ship, and
since then he had fallen into cataleptic
trance in which, when he recovered, he
utNluitu lldl ne nuu Dttu III uuOAntI
ship, begging its captain to come to their
assistance. When the man who had
been sent to the cabin saw the cataleptic
sailor, he recognized him at once as the
man he had seen writing"
In January, 1874. Mr.. Hare met Colo
mel Henderson of the police force at a
dinner Colonel Henderson said that his
father had been executor to old Lord
Bridport, who had box which no one
was ever allowed to open and of the con-
tents of which even Lady Bridport was
ignorant. After Lord Bridport's death
the widow sent Colonel Henderson to
look into things and then said: 81 wish
you would open that box. One ought to
know about it." Colonel Henderson did
not like doing it, but took the box into the
library and sat down before II with can
dies by his side. Immediately he heard
a movement on the other side of the ia
BILE and, looking up, saw old Lord Bird
port as clearly as he had ever seen him
In his life, scowling down upon him with
a furious expression. He went back at
once to Lady Bridport and positively re-
fused to open the box, which was then
destroyed unopened. Colonel Henderson
said, II shall never to my dying day for
get the face of Lord Bridport as i saw
him after he was dead"
