STRUCK BY lightning

The storm of Thursday was one OF
the severest of the season. Rain fell
in torrents most of the morning and
there were frequent peals of thunder
and flashes of lightning.
The streets were flooded with water
and South, Union and North street
we're impossible to pedestrians, teach
ers and scholars we're obliged 10 some
cases to be carried through on teams
In the afternoon the rain stopped,
temperature began to fan and fierce
wind blew until late at night. Tele-
grapic communication was impossible
as no connections could be made with
any points. The mercury this morning
was almost down to zero.
Yesterday was day OF trouble for
the electric road. Lightning struck
the power house at II O'Clock and
burned out the main generator, Grip
pling the power completely.
The high water flooded the power
house and put out the fires. It also
washed away the Frazier bridge east
of the power house and covered the
tracks for nearly hal; mile with
ice cakes.
The sudden drop in the temperature
has lowered the water in the river and
has frozen water over the rails along
the whole line of the road.
1t will be several days before the
road will be in condition to resume
traffic.
During the Hood yesterday noon the
water poured into Miss Harriet Sib-
ley's and w. B. Sheldon's filing the
cellars and making lake of the yards
South st was at food tide and under
water for three hours. Jerry Billings
operated ferry there with a horse
and sleigh greatly to the convenience
of the public.
No fatalities occurred but one thrill
ing rescue is reported. Lawyer Shell
don was navigating his back yard with
a door or some otherpiece of furniture
for a craft when he lost his compass
and his anchor failed to hold.
Sele Pike from his market across
the way saw the attorneys signals OF
distress and put out in a lifeboat or
pair of fishing boots and at the risk Of
wet feet aud unstarching his shirt
bosom saved the life and part OF the
dignity of the shipwrecked mariner.

REUNITED
AND HAPPY
Mrs. Austin Found Husband at
Troy.

Mr. and Mrs Arthur Austin returned
from Troy yesterday, but they did not
go to that city together. Austin went
down one day last week and as he did
not return up to Wednesday, Mrs Aus
tin began to feel nervous about him
What made it worse we're the rumors
that a young lady of the village disap-
peared about the same time and it was
rumored that they went together.
Wednesday Mrs Austin started on
search for her missing spouse, going
direct to Troy, where she believed be
would he found.
She laid her case before the chief OF
police of that city and Austin was soon
located at the Everett house, but no
one was with him or had been. AT the
request of the chief detective, Austin
met his wife in the Office OF the chief,
and after some talking, the couple
left together Austin denies that any
woman went with him, but says be
went to Troy solely on business.

NOT
QUITE DRY
Rutland Town Can Issue
One License.
NEAR THE CITY LIMITS
Effort Being Made TO Have This
One Refused by the
SeIectmen.
NEAR THE CITY LIMITS

Rutland, March 81 With Rutland
city, West Rutland and Proctor going
no license, there is great interest in
the one license 10 be granted to the
town of Rutland, which voted yes.
A petition is being circulated here
addressed to the seectmen Of Rutland
town, asking them to refrain from
granting a license, fearing disorder
after the Rutland saloons close May !
The one saloon to which the town Of
Rutland is entitled is situated on West
street, near Evergreen cemetery and
only few feet from the city limits.
1t is almost within stones throw of
the residence OF Percival W. Clement,
and it would bethe only open bar with
in ten miles of Rutland. The result of
this situation, it is feared, by the peo-
pie in that neighborhood would be
such as to entirely unfit the place for
residential purposes, and they hope
this condition of things can he avert
ed.
The paper was started today and lib
orally signed 1t will not be presented
to the selectmen for several days and
it will then be a formidable document
The selectmen OF the town today re-
fused to state what they would do in
regard to the matter, although it was
intimated that perhaps the license, as
granted for another year, might be
erely for the sale of beer and light
wines. Whoever receives this license
for next year will undoubtedly make a
large amount of money with the whole
of Rutland and surrounding towns to
draw from.
Already there are over a dozen APP
plicants among the residents OF the
town and it is said that two or three of
the leading dealers of this city will
bring strong pressure to bear upon
the commissioners of the town togrant
the license to one of their number. 1t
is possible that several of them vii
combine. and try TO secure it.

That the Japanese will arrive before

Russian Destroyer Sinks n Cutter.
PORT SAID, Egypt, March 4.-As
result Of a collision between a Russian
torpedo boat and an Egyptian revenue
cutter at Kantara, in the canal, the lat
ter was sunk. There were no casual
ties. The Russians stood by and saved
the crew Of the revenue cutter. The
canal will be blocked for at least twen-

sian torpedo boats which returned here
after having sailed ostensibly for Al
giers were considerably weather beat

SALTS IN THE SEA.
The Four Varieties That Are Washed
Out of the Earth.

Out of the Earth.
Why should the sea be salt when the
lakes and rivers are fresh? This is
a question that comparative few peo-
pie stop to think about. They recognize
the fact, but do not take the trouble to
reason about it.
There are four salts in sea water
sodium chloride Common salt, mag
nesiuln. potassium and calcium These
are minerals and are washed out of the
rocks of the earth by the streams and
carried to the sea in a state of solution.
The water of the sea is being con-
stantiy cvaporated and it comes to the
land as rain. SNOW, hail or sleet. But
this evaporation leaves the salt in the
sea- and as the streams are all the
time carrying more salt there the guam
tity is constantly increasing. but so
gradually that it is not noticed in the
water.
1t has been estimated that if all the
salt We're obtained o;lt of the waters
of the sea there would be enough to
cover the continent of North America
to depth Of half Il mile.
In some parts Of the world the salt
used by the people is I'll obtained from
sea water but iGt Where there are salt
mines or salt springs. for the quality
of that obtained f:os.i them is much SUI
perior to that Yielded hy sea water.

PATRIOTISM OF ANTS.
The Insects Always Willing to Die
For Their COmmune.

For Their Commune.
Many times and i'll many ways the
devotion of ants to their commune has
been tested. The rule is well nigh in
variable of instant and absolute self
abnegatiOn and surrender OF personal
ease and appetite, life and limb to the
public welfare The posting Of Sellt!-
nels at gatcways is customary, and
they are apt to know first the aG-
prcach of danger. With heads anu
Quivering antennT protruded from t2c
opening. these city watchmcn not only
dispatch within news of threatening
peril. but rush out with utter abandon
to face the foe. With ants patriotism
is not second nature it is instinc-
tive, Unborn. seemingly as strong in the
callow antling as in the veteran brave
1t must be confessed, however, that
it is rigidly exclusive. Racial catho-
licity is not an emmetoran virtue.
Ants are without that elastic hospital
ity which embraces and assimilates all
foreigners. Even the slave makers
hold their domestic auXiliaries strictly
distinct.
1t may be due to overma stcrlng pa
trOtsm that one fails to discover indi-
vidual benevolence in ants. Friend
ships and personal affection in the linn
tied and specialized sense familiar
among domestic animals are as yet un-
known And thus it is with other So
cial insects-H. c. McCook in Har-
pers Magazine.
