New Milford,

HE DENIED THE sPECULATIoN.-No
BUCKET SHOPS FOR DIsBROw.-wREs-
TIED WITH "CARTE BLANCHE.
There was further hearing, last
week Thursday, before Judge Howard
j. Curtis in the civil Common Pleas
court in the action brought by Samuel
e. Vincent of Bridgeport against N.Y.
ron B. Disbrow. Last Wednesday A.
E. Vincent told how the defendant
had confessed to him that he monkeyed
bucket shop and was hurt. Thursday
Mr. Disbrow took the stand and denied
that he ever made any such admission.
He also denied that he had admitted
neglecting the business or using the
grocery horse for farm purposes. The
defendant started in last week Wed
nesday afternoon to explain the big
deficit. There was an opposition store
started in New Milford and it took
some of bis trade away. He spoke to
Mr. Vincent about it and claims that
gentleman gave him permission to
break the famous Vincent cash rule
and give credit. On the cross exam
nation by Attorney Edwin F. Hall,
Mr. Disbrow had rather uncomforta-
BILE time. He first stated that he had
been to school and to college and, like
$. e. Vincent in his earlier years, had
also, at one time, taught the 'young
idea how to shoot" But at that, when
Mr. Hall fired off something "carte
blanche" at the former schoolmaster,
the latter did not seem to know what
the words meant. There was just a
little ruffle between counsel over it.
Attorney Hall wanted to know why
the witness did not answer. Attorney
Adds came to his clients rescue: she
is all right" said Mr. Adds, ''but now
you are talking French to him." Mr.
Hall limited that college man and a
former school teacher ought to know
what ''carte blanche" meant. But all
hands dropped it there, and the wit
ness was asked to explain several little
matters that seemed peculiar. His
only reason for these unusual actions
was that it occurred to him to do SO.
Mr. Disbrow explained that he always
sent in the credit accounts in total
when the inventories were taken. But
when he was shown that these inven
tories did not account for the big
deficit he held that there was an
inventory on coal which did not appear.
He had it somewhere, although the
books did not show it.-[Bridgeport
Post.
Judge Curtis has filed his decision,
finding for the defendant on all points,
throwing the costs on the plaintiffs.
This is handsome compliment for Mr.
Disbrow's attorney, Judge Adds, as
well as vind1catiOn for Mr. DiSbrOw.

ANTICS OF THE LIGHTNING.


To the Editor of THE NEwTowN
BEE: Brief sketch of the thunder
storm that occurred Sunday, February
7, lightning struck the cottage of Bly,
denburg G. Joyce. Mr. Joyce was walk
ing toward his cottage door near a
tall cherry, tree when the lightning
struck the northeast corner, throwing
Mr. Joyce with great violence into a
large pile of wood near the cherry
tree. He was aroused from his death
like swoon by the agonized and muf-
fled tone of his wife's voice from inside
the cottage, "Throw open the door, we
are sufocating." All of his energies
were aroused TO immediate action
and with great effort he raised the
heavy timber which had fallen onto
his head; he reached the door and
threw it open. The room was dense
with a sulphuric odor. He saw his
wife slowly recovering from the shock,
clasping closely in each arm their two
little daughters, aged three and five
years. When the thunder bolt came
they were sitting beside their mother
on their hassock, from which they
were hurled off backward. She had
gathered them up in her arms. His on
ly son, a bright boy of seven pears, ap-
parently lifeless, lying across a beauti-
full dog belonging to wealthy gentle
man who had called during the thun-
der shower. Thirty-eight panes of
window glass were shivered and win
dow sashes and dishes were broken.
The carpet was cut in two and thrown
out together with the splintered floor
the entire length of the room, making
an aperture from.the roof to the Gel
lar. The plaster was thrown with such
violence against the doors it indented
them badly. Several fires were blaz-
ing but were soon extinguished. With
the admittance of air the gentleman
and their little son revived, but the
dog was dead. The burnt marks across
the fine fur showed the lightning's
track. All must have suffocated but
for the admittance of air. A brave
boy walking on the Lake near the cot
tage heard the crash. With the agili
ty of deer he sped over the ice and
to the stable near by. With deft fin
gers he pressed the buckles to place
and with excited, sparkling eyes drove
to the open door. The little children
we're warmly wrapped and lifted into
the sleigh and he drove swiftly to his
home and gave them into his mother Is
care, who had them fully restored. A
young merchant of Danbury and an
other gentleman driving near the lake
came to the cottage and kindly assist

with such a becoming hat must be in
a state of vanity to need Christening of
spirit.

said in soft tone fraught with tender
sympathy. "Mr. Granger, of course,
likes the club, and we go sometimes,
but he'd just as soon sit quietly at
home with me. evening after evening"
TITS lovely for you" said Mrs. Joyce,
and the face under the becoming hat
was sweet and guileless, "but then, you
know, the two men have always been
different ever since they were boys to-
gether. Mr.. Joyce always wants a
good deal of pleasure and entertain
ment, whereas Mr.. Granger has never
cared for anything of the sort"
