The oldest inhabitant cannot re- member a more severe electrical storm than the one which struck Westport late Friday evening and ear 1y Saturday morning. Several storms seemed to center over the town at the same time venting their fury on the sleeping populace. Fortunately the lightning was spent before it reached the earth and no places were struck. It is said that bolt of lightning came quite close to the State street bridge and lost itself in the river. This bolt was seen by a number of young men who sought shelter at the Krazy Kat restaurant. A 35 foot launch owned by New Workers and anchored in the Saugatuck river was sunk. The boat was at anchor in the channel below the railroad bridge. Given too much rope the boat was tossed about filling with water and sinking.
 Those who were caught on the tro1- ley cans during the storm had a hard time of it. The $50 D. m. car bound for Bridgeport split a switch at NfilIs s turnout and jumped the tracks and ended up by striking @ trolley pole. It is said that the car at the time was travelling at it's fastest rate of speed and was in charge of a new crew. The derailment caused a complete tie up. Passengers on the car which arrives here from Bridgeport at 1O:30 o'clock did not get in until after 1 o'clock in the morning.
 When the storm started the electric lights went out leaving the town in almost complete darkness. The wires from the Norwalk power house which supplies Westport went down causing the shut off. As the new generator of the local light company was not in operation no help could be had from the local end.
 Homer Clark of Westport, has insti- tuted a damage suit for $2,00 against Fred Bennett of Weston. Recently an auto driven by Bennett ran down a, horse which Clark was driving The horse was injured and had to be shot Clark was thrown from the team and has been under medican attention. Miss Agnes Jacquee and brother Lawrence Lacquee have returned to their home in Chicago. They have beeen occupying. the Lindey home in King street.
 Charles Patterson and George Mau- Ter have left for Bermuda where they expect to remain about two weeks.

WESTPORT CALLS A SPECIAL TOWN MEETING
 TO CONSIDER PAVING
Residents Want State Street Paved From Curb to Curb And Not
 Partially.
(By Our Special correspondent.)

(By Our Special Correspondent
 Westport, Sept. 2.-A special town meeting will be held tonight for the purpose of approprtating more money to lay the permanent pavement over all of State street. Last week the workmen of the Warren Bros. Co.,, who are laying the Warrenite pave ment arrived at Compo street and be- gan laying the pavement to the center.
 The paving concern has a contract with the state to pave sixteen feet of the roadway on such roads where the trolley tracks run to the side of the road. Where the trolley tracks are iTP the middle of the street the contract reads that but eight feet on each side of the tracks shall be laid by the state.
 When the workmen began laying from ConpO street to the 6enter, from the point where the trolley tracks are in the center of the highway, but eight feet was laid on each side. This left a stretch about two feet in width from the end of the pavement to the curb line. It made a, very unsightly appearance, so much so that residents along State street at once circulated petition securing enough signatures to call for this matter being includ- ed in the special meeting tonight.
 It seems quite likely that the town will find some means for securing the funds for this purpose. There does not seem to be any doubt but that fa- vorable action will be taken and a contract entered into with the Warren Bros. Co. The latter have stated that they will do the work at the same figure per square yard that they are charging the state.
