SUNDAYS STORM. Last Sunday was one of
the hottest days of the season. but the usual
number of pleasure seekers were abroad.
About p. m. the clouds began to gather and
to the weatherwise there were indications of
thunder storm. 1t sprinkied little, then held
Up sprinked some more-and then came &
deuge 1t never raned harder here than it
did for short time; the streets We're rivers
and everything out-of-doors was afoat. The
storm was not, however, accompanied by thun-
der and lightning Some of the eXcursionists,
noting the gathering storm, returned home be-

on the road far from home, and without chains
found travelling difficult on the muddy roads

and went into the itch n such position as to
completely block the road and nine cars were
held up there for half an hour. The Read ga
rage was filled with cars that were passing
chains to those who had started out without
them. The Stanley steamer of the Maine
Transportation Company took a party to Au-
gusta, but got out of gasoene on the return
! trip and had to substitute kerosene. The
roads were badly washed and no doubt other
damage was done.
