Rural Free Delivery.
Springfield Union.)


Massachusetts now has 251 rural free
delivery routes in operation. This is
six more than were in operation last
June Maine has 423 routes New
Hampshire 202, Vermont 292 and Rhode
Island 81. We have not at hand the
statement from Connecticut. 1t is seen
from these figures that rural free deliv-
cry is popular in New England, and the
most remote hamlet will have its regu-
lar daily mail service.
All this is costing the Postofice de-
partment pretty penny, but 1t is one
of the best Investments Uncle Sam has
ever made. 1t is said that we're it not
for the cost of rural free delivery, rates
of postage would be cheaper, but be this
az it may, rural delivery is of far greater
advantage to the country than cheaper
postage would be. 1t brings the
farmer into close touch with the entire
country through the medium of the daily
press He and his household read the
advertisements as well as the news and
order goods by mail 1t is the expert
ence of nearly all the big stores that
their mail order business has Increased
materially with the establishing and the
multiplying of rural free delivery route.
simultaneously with rural free deliv
cry came the rural telephone operated
independently by the farmers themselves
or by the BELL system and these two
agents-free delivery and the telephone
have not only made the farmers lot
more endurable, but have e1erted po-
tent influence in redeeming abandoned
farm lands. Both of these servicts
may be said to be in their infancy.
Their possibilities are yet to be realized.
The telephone will be still further i'm
proved by inventive genius and its cost
to the subscriber will be decreased, and
the automobile is destined to do the
work of the horse in the delivery of
mail.

Three Fire Alarms.

Ageneral alarm, number t1fty-three,
called ont the fire department. shortly
after one O'Clock on Thursday after
noon. The cause of the trouble was
In the rooms occupied by Elijah Nixon
in the Coe & Mitchell flats on Wilmot
street. A bed room was found to be
on fire with smoke pouring from the
windows. 1t was chemical fire ana
put out after a few minutes work.
The loss was heavy for the occupants
of the rooms as they had no insurance.
Nixon was working out of town, while
his wife also works leaving five child
rem either at home or school. How
the fire started is unknown.
Back taps had hardly sounded be-
fore number thirty-fve was rung.
Everything proceeded to the Lacka-
wanna station where it was found
that the key box there had been opened
to turn in an alarm for the former fire,
but as the bell began to sound the
door had been left open leaving the
hook in view. Although everybody
about there declared that no one
pulled the box it must have been
pulled, proba bly, accidentally by some
one examining the mechanism.
The fire alarm went on rampage
about two O'Clock this morning and
the bell sounded all sorts of numbers
ringing half hour or more until the
works ran down.

a Destructive Storm.

A severe thunder shower passed over
this section Thursday afternoon. The
rain fell i'll torrents and was accompa-
MED by stiff gale which wrought
havoc with trees and chimneys. Light
ming struck several houses in the east
ern section ofIthe town. VIM. Heath s
house on Abbott avenue was struck,
the lightning knocking the chimney
through the roof making a great hole
through which the water poured dam
aging the walls and furniture to a
considerable extent. Fortunately his
wife was away and escaped injury, but
his mother in another part of the
house was rendered unconscious by
the shock.
The lightning played strange freaks
with Robert Howard's house on the
same street. 1t plowed afurrow along
the peak of the house splitting the
board and sending each half With two
rows Of shingles flying in opposite di-
rections, then passing down the. side,
springing outline weather boards, then
entered the house, passing be tween
Mrs Howard and her children and on
into the cellar where the ball exploded.
The houses of John Ritter and Jos.
Ritter, in the same section were also
struck and slightly. injured A pecu-
liar feature OF the storm was the TAX
ing up of a small clubhouse, turning it
completely around and placing it back
on the foundation.
