AFTER YEARS OF SERVICE.
Superintendent c. W. Beach Retires as Head of the Naugatuck Road.


 George w. Beach, superintendent of the Naugatuck road has rendered hls resignation to the company, the same to take effect August l. MT Beaen mas been in the employ of the N. 4., N II. and H. R. R. Go for the past fifty-tWo years and is one of the best known and most popular railroad men in New England. It is understood that the Naugatuck will become part of the Berkshire division and will be operated under one superintendent. Operating the Naugatuck road without MT Reach will look like presentation of Ham let' with Hamlet left out. The public has long since come to regard him as a part of the road, and no matter who succeeds him he will be in office a long time and have to be possessed of more than ordinary courtesy and ability in order to fill the place which Mir Beach occupies in the hearts of the people. He entered the employ of the company at Seymour as clerk fifty years ago. The following year found him In Waterbury in a similar position. He worked at this position for a time and in 1853 he ran gravel train on the road. In 1854 he was relief agent and took the places of agents along the line who were sick or who were incapacitated for work on any account. During this time he was sta toned in Thomaston for nearly four months and from there was sent to Naugatuck, Where he remained for two years. In 1851 he was conductor and general agent of the company and 1af- terward he ran the night and morning passenger train from Bridgeport to Winsted Before retiring from tais particular work he carried the first company of militia out of Waterbury on it's way to the front in 1S61 The company was in command of Colonel Chatfield. MT Beach came to Water bury in 1861 and was the agent here until 1868, when he was appointed su- perintendent of the Naugatuck division, which position he has held ever since
 Mir Beach said this afternoon that his relations with his employees and the public have always been friendly and that he retires with good wishes for au.

STRUCK BY LIGHTNING.
Three Houses and a Trolley Car Suf-
 fered During Storm Yesterday.

Three Houses and q Trolley Car Suf-
 fered During Storm Yesterday.
 A fierce storm struck Waterbury last evening and for a time it looked as if we were going to have tussle with tornado. Rain fell in torrents. lightning started here and there and thunder roared as some folks said louder than ever. During the storm lightning struck q building at 725 Bald- win street belonging to Mrs Margaret Mulvany setting the shingles on fire An alarm was sent in from the box at the corner of Stone and Baldwin streets and a few minutes later the firemen were on the ground. But their service was not required, the family having eXtinguished the blaze before the department reached there A bolt struck three family house on Sumner street occupied by Mrs M D. Smith and Mrs Leonard and knocked off some of the plaster on the ceilings. The residence of D. W. Atwood in Middle bury was hit, but the damage did not amount to anything
 The lightning during the heavy thunderstorm last night cut up rather freely in the eastern section of the city. A, bolt of lightning struck the roof of a three tenement house at the corner of East Main and Court streets, owned by !. J. Sheehan, and went down through the interior of the building. A big hols was made in the roof, wall paper and mortar were knocked down and clap boards were ripped off. There was no fire, however. The occupants of the building were very much fright ened
 A trolley car which was standing on the switch near the Sacred Heart church was struck by lightning, but no damage was done. A large elm tree on the Mortimer Heffernan property on Dublin street was also struck by q bolt of lightning
 Mrs John Middleton of Court street received severe shock from light ming. She was sitting in a chair when she received the shock. She was thrown against side wall and was rendered unconscious for some time.

Rain and hail, with plenty of thun der and lightning, came upon New Britain about o'clock yesterday after noon One peculiarity of the storm was that while it was raining regu- lar dcwnpour in the center of the city, the section beyond Ellis and South Main streets was dry and dusty. Those down town further were at the same time wet and muddy. The lightning played some queer pranks. 1t stopped about sixty electric clocks.
 During the thunder storm last night, in Middletown, about 10:30, lightning struck the Middletown National bank building and went into one of the elec- tric wires entering the rear of the building, passed through to the front of the building, melting off | gas jet over the chashier's desk and set fire to the woodwork. The blaze was ex- tinguished by the firemen.
 Frederick Mills was instantly killed and Thomas Haggerty was terribly
 burned by lightning at Pequonoc last night. Haggerty suffered intense agony The men were employed by the Consolidated road and were en-
 gagged Ill loading ice upon a freight car when they were struck.
 A severe electrical storm. accom- panied by q heavy fall of hail. has wrought great havoc in the vicinity of 1 New Milford. the tobacco growers par l ticularly suffering. Large hailstones ] fell steadily for about half an hour. I The estimates of the loss Is placed at at least S40,000.
 l The factory of Comstocl1. Cheney Ss Go. Ivoryton. was struck by lightning early last evening and the fire which resulted caused a damage estimated at S10,O00. The contents of the first three 1 floors of the building were destroyed. The facilities for fighting fire in that town are limited and the volunteer corps had hard work in preventing the | fire from destroying the entire build | ing.
 l At South Manchester it is estimated l that tobacco growers and farmers in that vicinity will lose thousands of dollars as a result of the severe cleo trical and hail storm. The storm was Eaccompanied by high wind. which
 caused considerable damage to corn
 and other farm produce. The tobacco
 crop is believed to be ruined.
 l Albert Emerson of Windsor. who
 was driving an express wagon during
 the storm yesterday afternoon. short
 ly after ! o'clock, was shocked by n l lightning stroke and for an hour was
 unconscious. Medical aid was sum-
 moned and Emerson regained con-
 sciousness and did not appear serious
 ly hurt. His team was near the rail- l road when the bolt came and it is l thought that the shock came from lightning which ran along the railroad | track.
