HAIL AT DORSET
Northern Town Of the County Gets
Relief from the Heat.


Dorset, July S.-The report from
this place regarding safety and sanity
on Tuesday was a little previous. If
an outsider could have been present
at about 4:30 p. m. when the fury of
n vivid electric storm broke loose
over the valley, he would have been
as crazy to seek safe shelter as
many OF the residents. The storm
came down the west mountain with
cyclonic fury leveling trees in the
orchard of Charles b. Gilbert. doing
some damage at Humphrey place, and
with evident scorn for the surgical
power of our worthy tree doctor, Err.
nest H. West, after tearing the
wood-bine off his residence, proceed
ed to remove the largest half of an
immense elm tree in his yard. The
house narrowly escaped obstruction.
Two valued pear trees loaded with
fruit were torn down as also any
amount of shrubbery, followed by
half OF a fine large maple.tree on the
south side of the lawn.
There were no serious results of
this hurricane, which is pronounced
the severest in many years. In the
wake of the storm were numerous
corn fields that necessarily suffered,
also potato fields, and apples and
other fruit were torn from the trees.
A slight amount of hail fell and
torrents of rain which in some meas.
IRE cooled the parched earth and tor
rid atmosphere of the past three
days How could July SO?

BouLesR CASE WITH JURY
Stamford Man Charged with Assault
on Brother.

Manchester, July S.-The argu-
ments in the Boulger case were made
last evening and the jury went out
late this forenoon.
Although the time of county court
was devoted to the case of John
Boulger of Stamford, charged with an
assault with intent to kill his brother
John at their home farm April 20 yes
terday afternoon until 4.45, little was
gained on either side. The testi-
mony during the afternoon had to do
with which man had the better title
to the land on which the trouble took
place, and, as had been intimated IN
the morning, Judge Taylor ruled all
such evidence out of the case. DR..
Il. Il. Daley testified concerning an
examination of the victim of the fray
in May, at the time of the prelimi-
nary hearing in Bennington. The
case was put over until seven in the
evening when it was planned to have
two of the pleas made.
Following the Boulger case, John
Frank was called to plead to the in
dictment of assault with intent to
kill which followed from the shoot
ing affair at the Eagle Square shops
last spring A plea of not guilty was
entered by d. A. Guiltinan, counsel
for the respondent and a statement
was made that the defense would be
insanity
John Spada and Benjamin Lewis OF
Readsboro, were each arraigned on
indictments for selling liquor without
license and each plead guilty. Sen
tence was imposed in neither case
owing to the absence of counsel for

TROLLEY ACCIDENT AvERTED
Mrs. Robert Gardner Used Lantern
to Good Purpose

The Berkshire lines limited car
which was derailed running into a
switch on Main street Thursday eve
ming began its series OF escapades
somewhat earlier the same night.
Mrs. Robert Gardner was waiting at
the Gardner crossing for friends
whom she expected TO arrive on the
.S:45 car out OF Bennington and was
carrying a lantern. The cars were
running a half hour late. Mrs. Gard
ner sighted the car from Bennington
far above the curve at that point.
Looking over her shoulder she saw
another car, which, II turned out was
the Bennlngton-bound limited. She
stepped out between the rails and
irantically swung her lantern back
and forth. The Limited stopped and
after Mrs. Gardner's explanation re.
turned to the Gardner switch. The
regular car came on and passed with
out accident
The North Adams bound car out OF
Bennington was we'll filed and any
accident must surely have led to
most serious injuries. Very few on
the car however knew of the very
narrowly averted collision.

The Fight on Bucket Shops.

The bucket shop is not to be allowed to
run unmolested in the District of Column
| ba. 1t was announced yesterday in the
| news that acting on the direction of At
torney General Wickersham, United
States Attorney Wilson has noted an ap-
peal from the recent decision of Justice
Wright of the District Supreme Court
holding that the attempted anti-bucket
shop legislation violates the constitu-
tional privilege of freedom of contract In
that by it's phraseology 1t forbids the
| making of contracts in general. The case
thus goes to the District Court of APP
peals, the court of final resort In criminal
cases in the District. The Court OF APP
peals may hold an opinion contrary to
that of the District Supreme Court on
the constitutionality Of the anti-bucket
shop statute.
In view of the decision of the Court OF
Appeals in the Wade case the bucket
shop is doomed whether the constitu-
tionality of the anti-bucket shop statute
is or is not finally upheld.
Section S6S of the Code Of Law for the
District of Columbia. enacted March 3.
1901, recites that "All games, devices or
contrivances at which money or any
other thing shall be bet or wagered shall
be deemed a gaming table within the
meaning Of these sections: and the courts
shall construe the preceding sections lib
orally so as to prevent the mischief in
tended to be guarded against
In the Wade case the Court of APP
peals held that a bucket shop was gam
ing table within the meaning of the code.
Section SoS of the code says: whoever
shall in the District set up or keep any
gaming table, or any house, vessel or
place on land or water for the purpose of
gaming. or gambling device commonly
called A b c, faro bank, o, roulette,
equality, keno, thimbies or little joker,
or any kind of gaming table or gambling
device adapted. devised and designed for
the purpose of playing any game OF
chance for money or property, or shall
induce, entice and permit any person to
bet or play at or upon any such gaming
table or gambling device or on the side
of or against the keeper thereof, shall
be punished by imprisonment for a term
Of not more than five years"
This is rigorous law and designed to
discourage gambling, of which the bucket
shop stands for one phase.

Passing of Chestnut and Maple.

The country confronts not only an eco
nomic boss in the destruction by blight
of the chestnut tree. but a sentimental
loss. "Chestnutting" was one Of the rural
pastimes. and also pastime for urban
people who sought the woods in quest OF
the sweet brown nut that had fallen from
or that still peeped out of the opening
burr. This pleasure in the frosty, Grim
king woods is, it is feared, soon to be no
more.
One by one the features of country life
are changing. Even the cherry trees-the
big red hearts and the luscious black
hearts-are passing away Then there
were the dewberry, the blackberry and
the huckleberry festivals, and later, when
frost began to nip things, there were the
fox grapes, chinquapins, the chestnuts
and the black walnuts to gather and
husk. Children would carry for months
on their hands the brown stain Of the
walnut.
One cannot but feel sorry that the
chestnut trees are dying-in fact, most
of them are already dead. 1t is re-
ported that in New York city parks every
chestnut tree is dead, that over Long
| Island chestnut blight is travelling fast
and that the trees of Connecticut, New
Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware, Massa-
chusetts and Maryland are infected. The
scientists have been unable to find a
remedy for this chestnut-killing disease,
and seem hopeless Of doing SO. Its spread
since 1t was first observed in the New
York Botanical Garden five years age
has been amazing.
Another valued tree that Is passing
away is the sugar maple. The maple or
chards Of Massachusetts have disap-
peared and the orchards of Vermont are
dwindling. The reason given for this is
the increasing demand for shOe-lasts. II
is said that no other wood serves the
purpose of shoe-lasts nearly SO well as
sugar maple except English beech, and
| this is as expensive as maple. 4 Lynn
paper says that one million maple last
blocks are shipped annually from this
country to England. and this traffic is al
the expense Of the trees that produce
maple sugar.

sidered the tax unconstitutional, and IN
the second place he denounced 1t as I'M
democratic. He favored tarin REFORM
and meant by that material reductions IN
many of the schedules of the MCKINLEY
bill. But, for the reasons he gave, he did
not want a provision made for raising
revenue to the amount somewhere De-
tween fifty and a hundred million DOL
lars from an outside source, and thus
complicate the tariff question proper.
Mr. Hills attitude was justified by the
event The Supreme Court sustained MS
contention as to the unconstttutionahty
Of the tax, and. with that tax knocked
out, the new tariff law failed. 1t proved
a botch from start to finish. and he was
the ONLY democratic member Of the Sen
ate to feel the satisfaction OF having
voted against the measure on the final
roll call.
The Tribune advances the surprising
point that a motion made by Mr.. Hill ito
recall the bill from conference after it
had been considered for some time in that
body without results finally stampeded
the House, and gave the victory to the
Senate A great mistake. The House
conferees were beaten from the start, and
hold on the situation. 1t was the. Sen
ate's bill. or nothing.
Mr.. Cleveland insisted on contest in
order to emphasize the matter to the
country. He was expecting resistance
from public sentiment, but 1t did not ma
terialize. His hope then was to force the
bills death in conference by having the
House hold out, and thus put the re-
sponsibility on Congress. When this
finally dawned on the House 1t decided
to put the responsibility on him. and the
bill was sent to him. His friends hoped
he would veto it. Some Of them predicted
that he would. His enemies did not care
what he did. If he signed the bill, all
right; If he vetoed 1t, all right. 1t was
their bill, or nothing.
He disappointed his friends, and de-
lighted his enemies. He f1ickered. the
bill became a law without his signature.
His enemies not only got their measure,
but saw his popularity suffer as the re-
suit Of his course.
From that time but little was heard OF
the movement to renominate Mr.. Cleve-
land in 1896, which had gained some
Roadway His strength departed. and
when the next race came on he was so
out of touch with his party that he and
his nearest friends went over to the re-
publicans at least in the matter of SYM
pathy, although the democratic candl-
date had as a member of the House sup
ported Mr. Cleveland on the tariff aues-
ton as against Mr.. German. This Is old
history, but as bearing on the tarin ques-
ton it possesses interest at this time.

A Little Tariff History.
