That unusually heavy rainfall of Sunday afternoon had an accompani- ment of trio of violent lightning flashes and crashing thunder jolts that did some damage in Westerly and vi- cinity Lightning struck the house of Frank Murano in Tower street. tore off a pathway of shingles and shook the whole structure, smashing dishes and other fragile household furnish ings. Benjamin Murano, a brother of Frank was stunned and was uncon- scious for quite a while. He was at- tended by Dr. John Champlin and it is not believed there will be serious re- suit. The same lightning bolt flashed out into the yard, killing a hog in the pen and several fowl in an adjacent coop
 The lightning also struck the resi- dence of Charles Partelo. located in Ashaway, not far from the Hopkinton City line The bolt struck and shat tered the chimney, tore off a section of the roof and shot through the par Tor, where four persons were seated, but who escaped injury. A large mir TOT and some dishes were smashed and some of the furniture broken. This Is the second time that lightning has been an unwelcome visitor at this house.
 The home of William Brown in North Stonington was also struck by lightning with considerable damage. The lightning came into the house by the telephone wire route and the telephone instrument was smashed to smithereens. There was no other dam age of consequence.
 The North Stonington Grange has alfeady commenced planning for the third annual fair and they expect to make it even more successful than the two which it will succeed. The first was given as an experiment and the encouragement received has placed this to be an annual event beyond the experimental stage and it is predicted that those of the future will be even more profitable than those of the past, as there Is to be material increase in attractions. The grange has purchased from the profits of these fairs a tract of land. which is conveniently near the trolley line, right in the village, and which Is peculiarly adapted for hold ing the fair and at the same time pro- ductive of profit as a woodland, as the holding is quite extensive.
 There is a dwelling house on the property that can be utilized as an ad- ministration building and new build ings are to be erected for fair pur- poses to be used in substitution for some of the tents and temporary build ings for display of products, stock and general exhibits. It is conceded that some of the exhibits at this fair are

To Dry Oak Boards.
From Handicraft.

Oak is the most difficult wood to dry
properly. When it and other hardwoods
are rapidly dried without sufiicient sur
rounding moisture the wood lease hard
ens.'' that Is. the outer part dries and
shrinks before the interior has had a
chance to do the same, and this forms a
shell or case of shrunken and often
checked. wood around the interior. which
also checks later. This interior checking
Is called honeycombing.
The best method of drying fs that which
gradually raises the temperature OF both
the wood and OF the water which IL con.
tains to the point at which the drying is
to take place. Care is therefore taken
not to let the surface become entirely dry
before the internal moisture il heated.
This Is done by retaining the moisture
first vaporized about the wood by means
OF wet steam. When the surface is mad /.
permeable to moisture drying may take
place rapidly.

refusing TO give him access to her on the
plea that the young baroness must, in

Violent protests are being made in the

1t is being shown that they are sane
toned by the lunacy laws. the immediate
reform of such inhuman and unjust
laws is demanded on all sides. apart from
the Van Boren case. which is expected to
lead to some striking incidents.
