Damage by Wind and Lightning.

Last Friday afternoon the worst cleo
trio storm of the season visited this
village. The Nutting place on School
street, now owned by W. S. Fem, was
struck by lightning. The bolt entered
the barn just after George Spond drove
in to put up his horse. Mr.. Spond was
stunned and the horse was knocked
down. The lightning also entered the
house, doing some damage in the way
of breaking dishes, etc. The family in
the house were not injured.
Between and o'clock Tuesday af-
ternoon within pathway of three miles
from north to south a heavy wind swept
from the west Trees were blown down,
windows were broken and small damage
was done at nearly every house. A large
maple at Lynn Fullum's was blown
down and at the parsonage large limb
from a maple was blown upon the roof
of the house, doing some damage to the
slate. Fruit trees and small shade trees
in different parts of the village were
destroyed.

ON
BAND EXPENSES

Capt. Berger, leader of the band
told the Bulletin today that EX-
pert Fields criticism on the steady in
crease in expense of running the band
was not well founded.
The expert made a comparison OF
the years 1906 and 1912 showing that
the appropriation for this year is some
IS per cent. higher than for 1906. Capt
Berger SAYS that in 1906 the band was
away from the Territory for six
months and that the low expense was
due to that fact. This statement was
brought to Mr.. Fields attention today.
"All right said Field, look at the
figures for 1907 then"
These hguros show that in 1907 the
bands expense was $l6.2i9.j9, where.
Ms the estimated expense this year is
$22.92O. The expense for last year
was 22,1S5.10.
Capt. Berger shows by his own
statement that the expenses of the
band for six months In 1906 were only
about two thousand dollars less than
for the whole OF 1907, and that since
1907 the expense has jumped from
$4,000 to S22.000" said Mr.. Field
"Thc fact that the band was away
from the Territory for six months in
1906 really makes matters worse, else
why should II need to spend nearly as
much that year as It did neXt?"

comments ON
field REPORT

Supervisor Harry Murray
that Mr. Fields report, filled with con
struCtive criticism of the management
of the municipality. by the present
Board Of Supervisors, Is out and made
public. why not institute another In.
vcstigation of Territorial government?
so far as the experts criticism of
the City and County Is concerned, |
am not ready to discuss IT in full I'M
til we have had chance to go over
II carefully. In some instances, the
City can easily cut down expenses,
but not in way beneficial to the pub.
lie. For instance, we turn over our
sanitary inspectors to the Territory
We pay for them but have nothing
else to say. This system IL the result
of an emergency. We could cut of
garbage collection but not as matter
of public policy.
81 am glad that Mr.. Field has rec.
ognized how we have been often ham
percd because of the dual system 0T
government and the exercise Of mt
nicipal functions by the Territory.
Businessmen who have studied the
situation frankly admit that the sys.
TEN will have to be Strengthened out
by the Legislature before Honolulu
can be administered as it should.
Supervisor II. T.. Kruger-"Ficld's
report certainly does the present
Board and municipal governments an
injustice in his structures concerning
the expense Involved In the maintC.
nance of the Hawaiian Band. The zig.
ures which he cites for 1906 are low,
but he failed to take notice of the i'm
pOrtant fact that the municipality paid
but six months expense for the band
during that year. The musicians wcro
sent To the mainland and were main.
tanned by private enterprise. No Won
der thc present band expense is rated
at over 80 per cent. higher than what
II was for the half period during 1906.
Then again fail to see why the band
boys are not deserving of an increase
in pay after years Of constant and
faithful service.
Field also has failed to take into
consideration the fact that when he
offers criticism ancnt the hospital
charge for County patients, he has ov'
CROOKED the point insisted upon by
the Queens Hospital directorate, that
our City and County physician is not
allowed to attend to cases sent there
my the City. The hospital has all
along insisted on the retention of pa
tients mere until they are pronounced
as completely cured"
Supervisor Samuel Dwight have
nj had an opportunity to read Fields
report and consequently am not in a
position to pass an opinion upon 1t or
its structures of the present City and
County government hope that the
report will be generally circulated in
some form, so that all may become ia
miliar with its contents.
AS far as know, ] think that 1t Is
IN general a vary good report" stated
the Governor this morning, "but
want to read II through before | make
any comments on it. have made soy'
oral attempts to do this but have been
kept too busy"

Two Heroes

One of 'Oldbucks retainers, Caxton by name, had seen the baronet send his car riage along by the road while he and Miss Isabel started to walk along the sands. When he saw the rising storm and real ized the state of the tide at that season Caxton informed Monkbarns of these facts.
 The Antiquary was at once thrown into a great state of excitement and at the same time of executive activity. He real ized at once the peril his old friend and his flair enemy" as he used to call 1sa- bel were in.
 Sending to Fairpor for help he, with what servants he could muster, hurried along the brow of the cliffs, calling out every now and then as they peered down through the murky darkness below.
 It was these cries that the imperiled people upon the shelf of rocks had heard. The men from Fairport arrived, and after the planting of a mast and the rigging of a yard the four people who had been so near death were drawn up in safety to the top of the cliffs

Lord Glen Allan Summoned

But is she really called to her long account? My ancestor held the shield before the great earl at the battle of Harlaw and I have held it before his descendant, the Countess Joscelind. But now I will speak and, relieving my mind, end my long pilgrimage. l could not die until had spoken.
 Good man, as ye hope for mercy, go my errand to the house of Glenallan and deliver this ring to the Lord Geral- din, who is now earl. Say that Elspeth of the Craigburanfoot must see him and be relieved from her sorrowful burden of life. He will come" s
 Though the speech and manners of rTspeth were much above that of the fisherfolk among whom she lived and among whom she had married, and though once year Lord Geraldin, who now by the death of his mother became earl, paid a visit to the humble cot tage to offer her assistance; though it was known that she had been an old retainer of the house of Glenallan, yet that she had anything of importance to say to Lord Glenallan-anything that would. warrant interrupting his privacy at such tine-seemed doubtful to her hearers.

ell and Isabel engaged in one of those con versations many of which had taken place between them.
 Lowell urged his suit anew, while Isabel declared that, while filled with gratitude to him for his work in saving the life of her father and herself, fate had made it impossible for her ever to become his wife.
 Lowell, on his part, declared that he would no longer prosecute with his suit a lady who, apparently. had for him a strong aversion; he would leave the Fair port the next day forever
 But Lowell did not leave Fairport; he kept putting off his departure, hoping against hope.
 A few days after Sir Arthur. being re covered and having some guests at the castle, planned with Oldbuck an expedi- tion to the ruins of St. Ruth's abbey, sit uated some miles distant upon the lands of the baronet and where his ancestors for generations had been buried.
 He invited Lowell. thinking, as he had expressed it, that some courtesy was due to the man who had saved his daughter life and his own.
 And Lowell went. He would see Isabel just once more before he went away for ever.

Sir Arthur and Isabeh

Sir Arthur was poor. his estate lgreatly embarrassed, and Oldbuck was richl and owed no man penny. Sir Arthur was, all ways ready to borrow and Monkbarhs generally ready to lend.
 But Oldbuck also had habit-which iit the eyes of Sir Arthur showed his ple-l 6eian extraction-of also being eXae9 about being paid.
 Isabel, the daughter of Sir Arthur. was' a charming young lady, just blooming into the first flush of womanhood, beautful} and accomplished. patient of the foiblef of others and always the peacemaker bet tweea her father and Oldbuck.
 Sir Arthur had a son, like Oldbuc1s S nephew. was in the army and away fight ing the French.

Rescue at Hand

But further ascent. was impossible and the exhausted condition of Sir Arthur. added to his age, made it improbable that he could survive a night such as had shut in with that deep, penetrating chill, which, even in summer attends on the northeast coast of Scotland in one of these sudden storms.
 Isabel was a delicate girl and as Lowell looked upon her lying there on the bare rough stone in a semi-conscious condition, he felt that she, too, would perish if help were not forthcoming
 He was about, in spite of all remon- strance, to attempt to ascend the cliff which he had descended, when shouts were heard from above. shouts to which he and the mendicant sent up an answer ing call with all the strength of their lungs. Rescue had arrived-help was near

His Deadly Accuracy

Now Capt. Hector Mcintyre, Oldbucks s nephew in the army, had come to Monk barns on a visit and was nightly smitten with Isabel Wardour.
 Tn Lowell he felt rival at once. The result was that the fiery Hector provoked d duel with Lowell.
 They fought on a beautiful summer evening in the shadow of a thorn tree close by the ruins of St. Ruth's, and the men fired at the same moment.
 McIntyre's bullet just grazed the side of his opponent, but did not draw blood. That of Lowell was more true to the aim. Me lntyre reeled and fell He raised himself on his arm but could go no further. "I fear I have enough" he said, and what is more, 1 fear that I deserve it.. MT. Lowell, or whatever your name is, your hand. Fly and save yourself. Bear witness that l provoked this encounter"
 The surgeon who was in attendance ran up and believed that Mcintyre was dying. He also urged Lowell to fly.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1912-03-03
Meeting as Strangers

when Sir Arthur and his daughter were introduced to Lowell they greeted the young man with perfect courtesy, but as u person whom they had never seen or heard of before.
 In fact, Sir Arthur had never seen him; hut as for Isabel, she had Ito call to her aid all her natural strength of mind in order not to show emotion when she saw rvho 1t was that she had been invited to meet at dinner
 AZ usual over the wine, when the ladies had retired from the table, Sir Arthur and Oldbuck got into a heated discussion over some point of antiquarian research and Sir Arthur left the house in huff.
 They dined early in those days, and though the sun was sinking in the west when Isabel and her father left Monk barns the evening was so fine that they sent the carriage along by the road and purposed to walk back to the castle along the sandy shore of the estuary, or inlet, swhich made off from Fairport.
 Lowell also took his leave and started 10 walk back to Fairport.
