tence OF it's opinion the court says wv
regard the decision of the circuit cour
as so plainly right that the appeal shouls
be dismissed as frivolous
In November, 1908, a bill was filed IL
the circuit Of this county, III chancery,
praying for decree restraining the col
lection of the judgment against the
surety company on substantially the
same grounds as set forth on the trial OF
the cause. To this bill Culver de-
INJURED, the demurrer was sustained
and the bill dismissed for want OF equity.
An appeal was taken to the supreme
court and where a decision was handed
down last Tuesday, affirming the decree
of the circuit court in dismissing the
bill.
Just what the next step may be no
body knows. The Fidelity company
may pay the judgment which now
amounts, with interest and COSTS to-
about $4,000. or it may await suit to be
brought against it in the courts. OF
Maryland IT would seem that the end
is reached, insofar as the Michigan

Into Panic.

Clarcmont, n. H, Jan. 25.-Citizens
of Ciaremont and the surrounding
towns over 10-mile radius were
thrown into panic last night by a
severe electrical storm that did exten-
siye damage. Many believed that AS
Quincy mountain was in eruption, while
others ran from their houses to the
street, fearing that there was an earth
quake Several children were thrown
to the floor in the Baptist church, which
was struck, while others rushed out of
the meeting place. Many f buildings
about the town were hit, and the dam
age to the church alone will amount
to about $4,000.
The most extensive damage was to
the Baptist Church. The 120-foot
steeple was split to the belfry tower
and SO badly twisted that it is in dang.
er Of falling to the street. Another
portion OF the same bolt ran along the
steel covered ridge, tearing of the
gable end of the building, passed
through to the foundation and did ex-
tenEiye damage in the basement. A
hole was torn in the main floor, and
all the glass in the building was
broken, with the exception Of the large
Swasey Memorial window.
Mrs. Hester Hood was conducting a
Junior Endeayor meeting in the church
and AZ children We're present. Those
VINO were not affected by the shock
rushed out in the storm without cloth
ing, believing that the town. had been
visited by an earthquake. y. NJ Mich,
ola, the ianitor, was seated near the
organ when the crash came and was
thlawn out Of his chair BY the shock.
What is believed TO have been an
other portion Of the bolt that struck
the church tore hole in the side Of
the house next to the building and
Ms. Mary Ledieux was stunned. She
did not recover consciousness for-near-
ly an hour, The water and sewer

Eight People We're Nearly
Suffocated
in BROOKLYN ST. HOUSE
Firemen Had a Tough Time Of It. But

Done.

Fire drove the families Of Jerome Shea
and w. c. Sweet from their home at lis
Brooklyn street at an early hour this
morning and made brisk work for the
fremen for a time. The house was
saved, although the upper story was
damaged to the extent Of $4OO. That all

child Of Mr.. and Mrs. Sweet, escaped
sufFocation was extremely fortunate.
Mrs. Shea smellcd smoke shortly be.
fore two o'clock and she awakened her
husband and started him on hunt for
the cause. There was smoke, sure
enough, and plenty Of it; but Mr. Shea
thought It came from the kitchen range
until he went upstairs into the tenement
of the Sweets and found it choked with
smoke. He hastily aroused the sleeping
people upstairs, and Mrs. Sweet and her
child went to the house of neighbor
for refuge, as did Mrs. Shea with her
three children. The men took look
into the attic and saw flame enough to
cause them to hustle for the nearest
telephone, which was in the. house Of
". II. Lovely at l25 Brooklyn street,
A still alarm was sent to the central
station, the chemical responding. The
firemen soon saw that more apparatus
was needed and bell alarm was sound
ed from hox "a at the corner of Brooklyn
and Prospect streets, the ladder truck
from the central station and, the hose
team from North Barre coming out and
making a hard trip over the frozen slush
to the scene OF the fire, which WAS alnoAt
at the south end of Brooklyn street In
addition to the perplexities OF Che situ-
alton, the firemen found that the nearest
bydrant was so far away that they haG
to string 200 feet Of hose before they
could get TO the house, and then they
had to Chamber up d 20-foot and slipperT
bank to reach the house, which sets
back from the street.
In spite Of those unfavorable condi-
tions, they made short work Of the
flames, having confined them to the upper
story Of the building. except for ono
shaft of fire. which went down q parti-
ton to the first floor. The upper struc-
ture was pretty well gutted, however,
owing to the delay in getting in the
alarm. The building can be repaired,
nevertheless, and put into as good shape
as formerly.
The fire started from defective chin
ney, probably, as two stoves in action
were using it for an outlet, and the
flames did most OF their work about
the chimney A stiff southwest wind
was blowing al the time, and this served
to fan the flames.
The property was recently transferred
from the Capital Savings Bank OF Mont
pelier 70 Mr.. Shea, bond for deed
being given. Mr.. Shea runs i blacksmith
shop on South Main street. The damage
to his furnishings was slight, while the
upstairs tenants lost some OF their ef-
feets, their loss being about $50 insured
in the Granite Mutual. The agency or
John Dillon carried $500 insurance on
the house, in the name Of the Capital
SAVINGS Bank.
