The railroad company yesterday issued a statement in regard to the temporary suspension of the electric service between Stamford and Wood lawn during the thunderstorm on the afternoon of the previous day. The statement says that the trouble was not caused by bolt of light hing, but by mechanical causes. The statement:

 No genera ors, machinery. or ap- paratus other than the circuit break CTS were injured.
 All electrical experts agree that lines such as ours are rarely struck by lightning. but suffer from indue- tive disturbances which are some times of considerable magnitude
 We are now installing additional protective apparatus 10 further guard the circuit breakers. and TO more trouble from this source is ex- pected after the complei ion of our full installment."

 stood in San Francisco.

San Francisco, July 16-Behind the attack made by Mrs Sarah Dunn and Mrs L. H. Holmes on the board walk at Atlantic City, N. J., lies story of matrimonial and financial difficulties that has furnished food for gossip here for the last six months.
 Mrs Sarah Rosenbaum-Rogers- Dunn has been in the limelight for many years. She was the wife of

Among her chief ad- visers was James F. Dunn, who had been imported from New York bv hosennaum to manage his property.
 few years ago Mrs Rosenbaum married an advertising man named Rogers, but a divorce soon followed. A little over a year ago she married Dunn. Then entered upon the scene Mrs l.. H. Holmes, woman of wealth whom Dunn had known years ago Tn New York. She came to San francisco and stopped at the St rrahcis hotel and Dunn's attentions 10 her made the air blue around the savoy hotel, which Mrs Dunn had leased spending $200,O00 to furnish II. But according to those best :u- formed, the dashing Mrs Holmes maintained her influence over Dunn In spite of his wife's threat.
 Last December Mrs Dunn went In Los Angeles to look after extensive holdings there, but soon hurried back anonuncing her intention to demand that Mrs Holmes leave the St Francis hotei.

DRIVER PAID s
But Chauffeur Was Allowed His Freedom -- Two Arrests
 This Afternoon.

There was indeed great excitement in the police station this afternoon and the whole neighborhood was aroused at the doings at Super" Beach's headquarters. First Finton Tehan came in with A. c. Lake of Bethlehem who refused to obey the traffic ordinance. A moment later Patrolman Joe Mclean brought in c. H. Williams and his chauffeur from Thomaston, also their big touring car. They had only one number on their machine; law says two. George Strobel accompanied MT Lake as he was going to go bondsman for the country denizen should he be locked up. AS Brother Lake was a trif1e deaf Superintendent Beach had to speak to him through an ear trumpet. Eh, what's that? We'll he said that he knew nothing about driving his horse slowly through the center. Moreover he declared they were just walking. T didn't see any sign up" he shouted, funny if you can be brought in for crossing the street. |"
 Patrolman Tehan stated that Lakes harses were going by the cor ner almost on trot and the driver did not stop when he shouted to him. He did not even ease up when he beckoned his hand.
 How do you expect me to stop when did not hear you. Might have waved your hand but I'll be gol durn- ed if I spied it..
 The chief told him he was afraid that he would have to come to court in the morning.
 But have the power to settle the case for $5 if you prefer to do so, l said the chief. George Strobel in formed Mir Lake that he thought it was better to settle and Mir Lake did so, handing the chief a twenty dollar bill.
 Smallest you got?" said the chief.
 Yep" was the reply. The office boy was sent for some change. Exit MT Lake. MT Williams to the bar. Machine standing in front of Reid & Hughes's store. Only one number on 1t.

Superin- tendent Beach explained that the 1 owner had a permit from the st1ie secretary allowing him some kind of liberty or rather exemption for not carrying two signs. Whatever it was the chief said it was "as plain as the nose on your face"
 It seems that the machine has been going through the state with immunity. for the chauffeur says that they had been stopped before but not arrested. Some ore was heard to say. Does it make a d.f ference whether one rides in a wagon or an automobile2" as the party left the station
