CAUSED A PANIC
LiShtninf Flash Threw Inmates of
 Sanatorium Into Uproar.

Stamford, Aug 15.-A flash of light ming threw the inmates of Dr Frank Barnes's sanatorium, Grey Towers, into a panic, Sunday afternoon. The terrifying flash split a tree hundred feet from the Grey Towers stable and felled horse which had taken refuge under the tree. Then it ran along a barbed wire fence to the barn, up the lightning rod to strip of tin, followed the tin over the caves and down on the other side into box stall It struck Dr Barnes's horse in the head, closed its eyes and paralyzed it.
 From the stable the electrical fluid ran along the telephone wire and en- tered every cottage on the place. Dr Barnes and three men were ill the en- zine room and they were prostrated. The inmates of all the cottages were shocked more or less. and, when the lights went out. the excitement espe- cially among the more violent ones. was intense Attendants went about with candles and lamps trying to calm the patients, but it was long time before they became quiet In one or two cases it is feared the shock may have lasting effect.
 A peculiar feature of the lightning's visit was that the only damage of any consequence done directly by it was to Dr Barnes's horse.

Aug. 15.-it has just come out that Edwin Hallock of Derby. a member of the recent Con necticut general assembly. didn't re- ceive one of the penknives or gold mounted fountain pens that cost the state in extra stationery S15OO0. He was the only member of the lower house who refused to accept pen or knife from the state. although entitled to them. He bought his own knives and pens. He would not use the rail- road pass that is furnished to every member of the legislature. except when he went from Derby to Hart ford on legislative business.
 All members used these passes even when .he legislature was not in ses- sion. and this is in accordance with custom. Many a day he went to Hartford on personal business but al- ways paid his fare He is tery wealthy and q prosperous merchant.

The car was filled when the magistrate boarded it and there were no vacant seats. The magis. trate is rather stout. and when the conductor came through the aisle in the car there was hardly room for him to pass.
 Find me 8 seat" said Connorton. and I will get out of the aisle"
 All the seats were occupied. so the conductor expressed his opinion of the magistrate pretty freely.
 The magistrate remained standing until the car reached the ferry at the foot of Borden avenue. Then he stepped of and going up to Of1cer William Harold said: Say. Billy. ar IEsA ilHl ggHAntsF dnI uTluE ulEn De- fore me later on.
 The magistrate then boarded anoth- er car and got off near the police court Officer Harold arrested Feinberg and soon had him before the magistrate. Feinberg looked as though he was about to faint when he saw who was on the bench. Magistrate Connorton called him up at once and after giving him severe lecture. telling him that he was not fl to be a conductor of a car. he imposed 2 fine of sI0 on him. which the conductor paid.

SOLID BLOCK OF
BUSINESS HOUSES
Mai. MlIIsapS VIII Invest $4,000 In
Greenwood.

Maj. r. W. Millsaps, of this city, who
has extensive business interests at
Greenwood, has awarded contract to
Mr.. J. W. Mann, the Vicksburg contrac-
tor, for the construction of a solid block
of business buildings at Greenwood rep.
resenting an investment of about $780,
900. Maj. MiIlsaps is convinced that
Greenwood is one of the coming towns
of Mississippi. The buildings will be
constructed of concrete blocks, a mate
rial that is growing much in public fa-
vor for building purposes. Jackson
News, 18th inst.
The above buildings will add very ma
terially to the appearance of the prop
erty in the vicinity af the Y. Il NJ. v.
depot.
Maj. Millsaps has owned the lots
fronting on Johnson street for some
years, refusing many tempting offers for
them. He has always had an abiding
faith in Greenwood property and pre-
ferred to hold these lots until an oppor-
tune time to build brick business houses
on them.
The buildings heretofore erected by
him on that street have commanded reg
ular renters, and tllaea Is no doubt
about the new ones b-ing ia demand.
