THE THUNDER STORM.

Flagpole at Winchester's Shattered
 Twenty-Five Trolley Car Fuses
 Burned Out--Other Incidents.
 The heavy thunder storm which broke over the city yesterday at noon brought with 1t a downpour of rain, which was very much needed. The storm was unusually heavy, and. while the thunder caps were loud and nu- merous and the lightning flashes of the most vivid kind, no damage of a seri- ous nature has been reported in this vicinity.
 At the Winchester Repeating Arms company's works bolt struck and shattered the fagpole. The office force was scared and many of the girls ill the shops were so frightened that they ceased work and went home for the day.
 A fire alarm was rung in from the company's private box at about p. m. and the fire department was at the works in record time. On the firerlen' S arrival they found that the box had been burned out, and that while it was being tested it struck the alarm. There was no damage.
 The storm played havoc with the trolley service, about twenty-five cars being disabled. Wrecking and other cars were at once sent out to pull the disabled ones in.
 Many people who were out without umbrellas got badly caught by the rain.

BRYAN EXPLAINS
 NEW YORK SPEECH

Continued from First Page,)
 swer I do not know. Ii you ask me whether it ought to be in the platform l reply cannot tell until I know what the democratic voters think upon the subject. If the democrats believe that the next platform should contain a platform in favor of the government ownership, then that plank ought to be included. If the democrats think it ought not to enter such a plank, then a plank ought not to be included. It rests with the party to make the plat form, and individuals can only advise. l have spoken for myself, and for my self only, and did not know how the suggestion would be received. I am now prepared to confess to you that it has been received more favorably than I expected. There is this, however, I do expect namely, that those demo- crats who oppose public ownership will accompany their declaration against it with the assertion that they will favor government ownership whenever they are convinced that the country must NAAOCoO bCbWNCl1 OM1tISIlp of the roads and railroad ownership of the government.
 T still advocate strict regulation and shall rejoice if experience proves that that regulation can be made effective. I will go farther than that and say that believe we can have more efficient regulation under democratic adminis- tration, with democratic senate and house, than we are likely to have under a republican administration, with a re- publican senate and house, and yet I would not be honest if did not frankly admit that observation has convinced that no such efficient regulation is pos sible and that government ownership can be undertaken on the plan outlined with less danger to the country than is involved in private ownership as we have had it or as we are likely to have 1t.
 Among the reasons that have led me | to believe that we must in the end look to government ownership for relief, I shall mention two or three. First and foremost is the corrupting influence of the railroad in politics. When the president, following the democratic platform, insisted upon regulation, he
 was met with the opposition of the railroads, and every point gained in fa- vor of the people was gained after a strenuous fight.
 T have no idea that the railroads are going to permit regulation without a struggle, and fear that their infiu- ence will be strong enough to delay, if | it does not entirely defeat, remedial ! Legislation.
 Another reason which has led me to favor government ownership is the fact | that the people are annually plundered of an enormous sum by extortionate rates; that places are discriminated against and individuals driven out of business by the favoritisms shown by | the railroads. You say that all these things can be corrected without inter- ference with rivate ownership. shall be glad if experience proves that they can be corrected, but no longer hope for it."

LITTLE BOY DESERTED HERE.
New Britain Tot Lost in Vicinity of
 Depot Three Days.

New Britain Tot Lost in Vicinity of
 Depot Three Days.
 After hanging around the vicinity of the depot and sleeping back of the bill- board near there for three nights, little eight-year-old James OConnor, of Park street, New Britain, was picked up by Patrolman John Moore last night. Poor James had about reached his limit, He said that he came to this city with his father for a visit to Savin Rock on Sunday night. On the return trip he got lost at the depot, Since that time he has had but little to eat. A small boy, in a fit of generosity, had given him bag of peanuts, and another boy had given him two bananas. This was all that he had had in the three days.
 He was received kindly at the police station, and Patrol Driver Ryan gave the boy all the lunch that he had brought with him. The boy devoured it voraciously. Some kind gentleman who happened to be present took him out and treated him to some, ice cream, so that the little fellow must have imag- ined that he was emerging from the desert into paradise. He spent the night at the Organized Charities. Ills parents, who were notified last night through the New Britain police, are ex- pected after him to-day He was well dressed.

May Protest Against New Rule Con-

 A joint meeting of the trolley mems union is being held in Union hall this morning and the matter of the new badges is being thoroughly discussed. The cost is, very unsatisfactory. the motormen being charged $3 and the conductors $5, The men can see no rea- son for the difference in cost.
 By new rule the company will bond the men at it's own expense. Hereto- fore the conductors have been obliged to furnish a bond of $1G0. This new feature is quite acceptable, of course.

UNITED STATES SUPREME COURT:
SOMETHING ABOUT ITS MEMBERS.

washington, Sept. 2s.--The member
ship of the Supreme Court may be
largely changed between now and
March 4, 1909. In fact TIE strong prob
abilities are that Il will be so changed
1t is pretty general rule
among the members of the Court TO
take advantage of the law which per-
mits them to retire with full pay when
they have reached the age of 20, though
in the case OF a few members who have
been blessed with robust health they
have waived the rule and have con-
tinued to grace the woolsack for sew
eral years after they had reached the
age Of earned retirement. AT other
times the exigencies OF politics have
caused them to hold on or retire as
the case may be in the hope that their
places might be filled with men of their
own party.
At this time there are two members
of the Court eligible to retirement be-
sides Justice Brown. who. on account
OF failing eyesight has just stepped
down. They are Chief Justice Fuller
and Associate Justice Harlan. Fuller
IL a Democrat and Harlan is a Repub-
iican. 1t is being stated with seeming
authority that Associate Justice Peck
ham is going to retire on account of
Ill health. Associate Justice Brewer
will be eligible TO retirement on the
goth of next June. when he will have
reached the allotted three score and
Ter.
Fuller the oldest.
chief Justice Fuller is the oldest
member of the Court. He was born
February IL. 1888, in Augusta, Me. 1t
will be seen by this that he has al
ready given three and a half years
more to the arduous task Of weighing
every matter coming before the Court
than he would have had to give lie
IL a hale and hearty. well preserved
old man and bears his three-score and
thirteen years with grace. He will
probably hold on at least until after
election day, 1908 and IL Theodore
Roosevelt is succeeded by a Democrat
as President barring i'll health Chief
Justice Fuller will likely not retire be-
fore March. Z, 1909. at which time he win
be 76 years of age. BY pursuing such
a course the Chief Justice would have
the pleasure of seeing his successor a
Democrat If, however, he Fetires be-
fore that time, or If Roosevelt should
be succeeded by a Republican Presi |
dent, Chief Justice Fuller successor
would be a Republican. Though for@
the time he is Chief Justice Mr.. Fuller
81 compelled by precedent and good
taste 10 keep out of politics he is yet a
etaunch Democrat and would leave no
stone unturned to see his successor |
man OF like political faith.
