STRUCK BY LIGHTNING.
Cyrus Stone Of Bridport Insta ntIy
kliIed-His Hired Man, Daniel
pelome. Probably Fatally Hurt.

During the severe electrical storm
which occurred Saturday forenoon,
Cyrus Stone, aged 81 years, prominent
farmer of the town of Bridport, was
struck by lightning and instantly killed.
He and two workmen were fastening
to get in load of hay before the storm.
They succeeded in reaching the barn
and Mr.. Stone was on the load of hay
when he was struck
His hired man, Daniel Delome, who
was in the NOW, was also struck. His
clothes and shoes were torn from his
body, and he was so badly burned from
his shoulders to his feet that there are
little hopes for his recovery.
Mr.. Stones wife, who was in the
yard, also received slight shock.
When the lightning struck the men,
the hay on which they were standing
was set on fire, but Howard Stone, a
brother of Cyrus Stone, who was stand
ing nearby, extinguised the flames. He
then carried his dead brother and Mr..
Delome into the house. DR.. H. L..
Townsend was summoned.
Besides his wife and brother, Mr..
Stone is survived by his parents.

Care in Selecting Representa-
tiveS

The people of Vermont were proba-
bly, never so aroused over the selection
of stout champions of the interests of
the public for representatives in the
Vermont Legislature as at the present
time. The utterances of the press in
all parts of the State as well as COM
ments by groups of voters shows this
to be the case. The Mortified News
sums up the whole situation when it
says;
and the senatorial candidates well in
the field, it is time for the voters to
consider the question of the selection
of candidates for representative from
their respective towns. 1t may be
Jim's turn to go to Montpelier-an and
Jim's a mighty good fellow-but
wouldn't it be better for each political
party of town to select its most capa-
BILE man for a candidate and try by
every honorable means to elect him?
Then, whichever party won out, the
chances are that the town would be
more ably represented than by man
who is simply recognized as entitled
to the place because he has been good
and never butted into anybody's plans.
A man who recognizes the needs of the
State, has ability and faculty for doing
things, is of inestimable value in law
making body-and incidentally he is a
pretty good thing for the town which
sends him to Montpelier. Think it over
voters"

PEOPLE WILL BE PROTECTED.
81 would suggest to the public the
advisability of making list of the
number of automobiles owned by per-
sons who drive their machines, or allow
them to be driven, in a reckless and ar
rogant manner. If an accident occurs
through their Indifference to decency
and the rules of the road, help in bring
ing them to the attention of those en-
powered to carry out the provision of
the Callan law.
1.-The roads and highways of New
York State are owned by the people

are entitled to protection against auto
mobilists who would abuse their priv
leges. No man who is operating an au-
tomobile should display indifference to-
ward the humble pilot of a personally
conducted horse and carriage and if he
does he should be punished For in
stance, persons riding, driving or lead
ing horse or horses may, under the
Callan law, cause motor to come to a
full stop if the animal appears to be
badly frightened. When signalled the
motor driver must silence his machine.
Upon the driver of an automobile
rests the burden of proof. If all motor.
lists will drive their cars in a careful
and prudent manner the public will be
safe. Speed in excess of 80 miles al
hour is presumptive evidence of care
lessness.

Two Barns Struck BY Lightning

The worst electrical storm which has
occurred in this vicinity for a number
of years visited US early Thursday
morning, lasting about two hours, dur
ing which time the thunder and light
ming were almost incessant Tele-
graph and electric wires were in some
cases considerably damaged and the
service put out of commission.
The storm was followed Thursday
forenoon by one but little less severe,
resulting in loss of property. A new
barn belonging to Ellsworth Cornwall
about two miles from the center of the
village, was struck by lightning and
burned to the ground. together with its
contents, including about sixty tons of
hay, five calves and some farming tools.
The loss is about $4,000, partly covered
by insurance.
A barn on the property of Mrs. Noble
Dewey, situated near the Cornwall
farm, was also struck at about the
same time and this also was burned.
In this barn were several tons of hay
and some farming tools which were de-
stroyed.
A hurry call was sent to Middlebury
by telephone for the fire department,
but as there is no water in that section,
it was not considered wise to send the
department However, a few of the
firemen started for the fire, taking with
them the chemical engine, but on learn
ing that the barns were destroyed re-
turned to the village.

a Far-Reaehins Question.

The Orleans County M onitor raises
a far-reaching question in an article
produced elsewhere when it asks what
right the State has to say to a town
that it shall not drink impure water
and shall not pollute water that is to
be used for potable purposes and at the
same time to legalize the sale of intoXi-
eating drink that in many respects is
infinitely worse than impure water.
Some people take the ground that no
body should be allowed to sell intoxicat-
ing liquor as beverage. Others insist
that there should be no more restric-
tons on the number of liquor saloons
than on the number of drug stores
which sell cocaine and other things in
this line, the use of which may become
dreaded habit with people.
No one who has studied the liquor
question or has noted the extent to
which the control of the traffic in intox-
icating liquor is being made conspicu-
GUS in the political conventions and
platforms of the great political parties
in numerous States this year needs to
be told that this whole problem of deal
ing with the sale of drugs and liquors
for habitual use especially remains to
be satisfactorily solved.
More and more people are taking the
stand that the State has a right to pre-.
vent individuals from doing anything
which interferes with the public wei
fare, and we suspect that here as ir
other domains of government the prin-
ciple which should and will eventually
prevail is "the greatest good of the
greatest number. - Burlington Free

WEAKEST HITTERS BANG
 CLUNN AND UPPY UPHAM
Mechanics Lose an Easy Game to New
 Haven, But New Britain Gains Again

''Chalky'' Clunn and Uppy Upham of them yesterday saw visions which a good pitcher ought not to see, let ting the weak hitting White Wings get away with a S-5 game at Savin Rock. The Wings all season had been bothered both by Clunn and Upham and were due to get to both, especial ly to the former, as they gave Up ham a terrible beating here only few weeks ago. It was time though that they won another game from the Mechanics, the series between the two Wings and 10 for McCann's boys. While the locals were losing, the Fin negans out of sympathy were doing the same to Hartford, enabling the Ayiators to crawl up. Dan O'NeiPs hustlers grabbing two games from the Papermakers. They are now on an equal footing with the Mechanics, three more. The New Haven Journal Courier says of the White Wing vic- tory:
 For in-and-out ball playing the New Haven team has anything in the league beaten to a fraZzle. Yesterday the locals pounded the ball all over the pasture and beat the league lead score of to 5. Bugs Reisigl was again pitted against the Mechanics and as usual he had them guessing, but he didn't have to let himself out to the extent that he usually does, the reason being that his team mates were hitting the ball. Everything but home runs flew around the Prairie yester- day and 1t was one of the slam bang games that everybody likes, each team hitting the ball with vim. As a grand finale the visitors pounded out two singles, a double and a triple and threw a scare into the crowd, but one run was cut off at the plate, otherwise there would have been much trouble
 The heavy hitting of the Carica- lures was not the only thing on the days card which pleased the faith ful. There was another attraction which was something of novelty, this being the umpire himself, one Ebner who has all the motions, jerks and lung power of the indicator hold CTS in the big leagues. His ''strike tuh" sounded very much like Silk O'Louehlin's, but withal he was good, and gave. better satisfaction than any umpire that has appeared here this year outside of Bobby Hart. The en- tire New Haven team was on the jump and it was like eating peaches and cream to beat the team that has been pumping it hard for the past two months. Clunn and Upham, both of whom formerly had the. Indian sign on Carrick's, men, were 3eated alike. Clunn was driven to th9 bench be- fore three innings were over and Up- py Upham went into pack of trou- ble right off the reel, for Bunyan, the first man to face him, shot a screaming double, almost to the club house.
 After Bridgeport was blanked in the first New Haven came back with a double. Connell doubled along the first base line and Pastor drove him home with another crack to right. On Coughs out, Tony got to second, from which station, he scored on a single by Peck. Bridgeport eyened things up in the second. With two out, Miller singled and came home

PENNANT CONTEST FOR COLTS HARD
 FOUGHT ON PAPER

The manager of the Western Junior A c. is sore on the Oakland A. c. for laying claim to the 16-17 year old base ball championship of the city, He claims they are much older. and should be playing stronger clubs. Here is a yarn he sends to the Sporting Editor: Sporting Editor of the Farmer:
 Dear Sir:
 T. manager of the Western Juniors, have right to claim the 16-17 year old championship of the city for my club. The team is a willing crowd and are out for games and not for roasts such as was in an evening paper of Aug. IS. given by the Oakland A. c. They have to show me where they are 16 and IT, Pm from Kansas City. Why I'll eat my shoestrings if any one of them are under 19. They are big and strong enough to be working for Chris Rickard. and should be blazing the Clovers, or Westerns instead of claim ing the junior chamDionship. And be- sides where are their victories? Who have they ever defeated? If they give us a 16-17 year old team. we will play them for $25 and give them four strikes instead of three. As to the Mohegan Juniors or Pembroke Juniors. who ever heard of them? They have more nerve than the King of Denmark to ask us for game. You Pembroke Juniors. you Mohican Juniors. who did you de- feat? Run away children. I am yours very truly Manager Western Junior A C

on Halls triple to right field. Kocher rolled one down to Bunyan, but it got away from him and Hall scored Kocher taking second on the mis- play. In the third New Haven SCOT ed three times. With Pastor out of the way, Cough singled Peck laced a sharp one to Hall, which the little shortstop let go through his legs, and Cough scored, Peek taking second Burke brought Peck home with rap to right and Sherwood followed this with a single. Clunn was waved to the bench at this stage of the game and Upham went in. Bunyan liked his first offering and doubled scoring Burke. Sherwood was caught at the plate trying to make home on the hit.
 Tn the fifth, Upham singled for Bridgeport and scored on Jackson's triple, which got past Burke. New Haven also scored in the fifth. With one out, Sherwood walked and went to third as Hi Ladd booted Bunyan''s slngle over toward the bull Bridges laid one down to Hall and Sherwood was caught at the plate for the sec ond time. On Reisigls hit Bunyan scored. In the sixth, Pastor singled again and raced around to third af- ter Cough. had bunted. Kocher tried to field the ball, but funbled it for an instant, and the fleet-footed left fielder beat out the throw. Miller came in on the play and as Pastor rounded second he saw the coast to third was clear and he made the, bag easily. Cough also took the hint and stole second before the Bridgeport team got it's bearings. Then Peck" showed his worth by bringing both men home on a pop single to right field. A triple by Kocher, double by Eley and singles by Whalen and Stowe sent over two runs in the ninth
