LIGHTNING HIT IN
SEVERAL PLACES
Storm This Afternoon Brief, but Furi
ous-Fire Alarm, Telephone and
Light Service Affected.

One of those low-down, brief, but very
vigorous electrical showers appeared in
the ofing at Brattleboro this afternoon
Just before l O'Clock and IN 40 minutes
had departed leaving a partially crippled
fire alarm, telephone and electric light
service The electrical bolts fell thick and
fast and thunder rolled almost continu-
ously.
One bolt struck a big locust tree in
front of the home of f. L. Childs on South
Main street and the big tree fell across
the street, taking down with it telephone,
lire alarm and electric light wires.
Another bolt struck pole on Elliot
street in front Of the Direct Importing
Go. 5 store and crippled service there. An
other is reported to have struck a tree on
Green street
Attempts to telephone to numerous
places to the north of Brattleboro
brought the answer from the telephone
office that the wires were out of order.
The managers office could give no esti-
mate of the damage before The RefoImer
went to press this afternoon except to
say that at > o'clock it was known that
40 lines were ont OF order and that the
storm probably had done as much damage
as the one last week.
At one time during the hardest of the
RAIN Main street hill was almost covered
from curb to curb with a sheet of water,
the result Of the surface sewer at the bank
corner becoming plugged.
Mrs G. O. Abbott. who was seated at
the desk in the store of G. O. Abbott \
Son, was shocked by a bolt that came
into the store over the telephone, which
was standing on the desk near her elbow

Side Wheeler Bothers Keene Sluggers,
So Islanders Are Looking for Vic
tory-Snyder in Outfield.

Donald Dixie, who pitched so effec-
lively against Keene at Keene last
Wednesday, will start the game against
the same team at Island park this af-
ternoon. Chief Snyder will play right
held. Otherwise the lineup will be as
it was at Northampton Saturday. The
team is going good and a left handler
is effective against the heavy hitters
of the Keene team, so the Islanders are
looking for another victory this af-
teTnoon, although it may be hard
earned one.

House, Contents and Barns Owned by
Mrs. Mary Driscoll Destroyed
Cracking Awakened Occupant.
Especial to The Reformer.)
NORTHFIELD. Mass. July ,

The house owned and occupied by Mrs.
Mary Dale Driscoll, an aged woman who
lives alone on East street, and the shed
and barn adjoining were burned to the
ground about O'Clock this morning
The shed connected the house with the
barn, where the fire started. The flames
spread from the barn to the shed and then
to the house, and. the cracking sound
awakened Mrs. Driscol There was no in
ElmmbabIe material in the barn, which
makes it hard to understand how the fire
could get a start there. The fire depart
ment was called and part Of the furni-
ture was saved. The apple trees surround
ing the buildings also were saved. The
property was valued at about $1,000
The house was insured for $500, the furni-
ture for $500 and the barn for $500.

MOVE IN BEHALF
OF MRS. BRENTON
Counsel Opposes Motion of Defense to
Set Verdict Aside Says Allega-
tions Were Proven to Jury.
Especial to The Reformer.)
HARTFORD. Conn. July ,

HARTFORD, Conn, July 2l.
David +. Fitzgerald, of counsel for
Mrs. Elizabeth A. G. Holman, has filed
his brief to the motion OF Rev. Grams
ton Brenton and Dr. Paul Waterman,
that the verdict against them for Mrs.
Holman, the former wife of Mr. Bren-
ton to recover damages OF $4,000, be
set aside. The brief was filed in the
United States court, where the verdict
against Mr.. BrentCn and DIR. Water
man was rendered and it is in answer
to brief filed by the lawyers for the
two defendants that the verdict be set
aside.
The brief of Mr.. Fitzgerald makes
p typewriter pages. In one para
graph he says that the verdict was a
just and far one, and, under the
charge of the court, the jury found
that the defendants, Brenton and Wat
erman, were guilty Of the acts de-
scribed in the various allegations of
the complaint, and which ultimately re
suited in the imprisoning Of the plain
tiff in the Brattleboro Retreat, and
confning her therein during the pc
riod Of time testified to by the witness
es.
1T is not for the Judge says the
brief, ''to say what witnesses should
be believed, or what should be disbe-
lieved. This is a duty, according to
law, Of the jury and in this case the
jury heard the evidence, viewed the
conduct and the attitude of the de
PENDANTS while testifying and had be-
fore them the letters written by the
plaintiff while at the Retreat and from
all the evidence under the guidance of
the charge Of the court, found where
the truth was and rendered a verdict
for the plaintiff against the defend
ants, Brenton and Waterman.
1t is ridiculous, says the brief,
for these defendants to make the
claim here that after this long and ex-
pensive trial that the jury have not
acted as intelligent men.

Discrimination.

Two boys who managed to be rather
unruly in school 50 exasperated their
teacher that she requested them to re

500 times. They plunged into the task
Some fifteen minutes later one of them
grew uneasy and began watching his
companion in disgrace. Suddenly the

between his sobs said to the teacher:

Committee Has New Plan.

The committee that has been busy in
promoting this line IS considering another
manner of presenting the proposition to
tie company f. c. Crosby, who built
the original line in Brattleboro aud who,
at the request of the company, made an
estimate of the cost OF construction of
the proposed new route, will be asked to
make a close estimate OF the cost OF grad
ing for the route and putting the ground
in readiness for the ties and rails. This
the committee feels may prove a satistac-
| tory manner in which to present the
proposition to the company, and some Of
| the committee believe that it would be
possible to shoulder the cost Of grading
/ the route and leave it to the company to
| lay the rails and erect the poles and string
| the wires
! The company, apparently, has not aban-
doned consideration of the plan, but PLAIN
| y does not purpose to pay the entire cost
of the construction of the new line. The
committee is willing to cooperate with
the company in the matter OF expense
and it appears now to be matter of the
apportionment of the cost of construction

Wants to Know What Offers
Have Been Made Toward
Trolley Extension
NEW PROPOSITION
WILL BE PRESENTED
Committee Will Prepare Estimate of
Cost of Making Roadbed Ready, Com
pany to Do the Rest - Large Ex-
penditure on Gas Plant a Necessity.

The project of trolley extension Of
the Twin State Gas x Electric company's
lines in Brattleboro to take in the Estey-
vile section, matter that has been
agitated for months, IS not dead. Dor
mant has been the proper designation foa
the condition, but those greatly interested
IN persuading the company that such a
line should be constructed and that it
could be constructed and made to pay
expenses at least, have finally met with
a response from President l. L. Meloon
of the company. whose headquarters are
in Dover. n H. This does not mean that
the line Is to be constructed at once, but
it does indicate that the officials of the
company are taken cognizance Of the in
sistence Of the committee that something
be done about it.
President Meoon laws much stress upon
the present period of unrest which he
says is reflected in all classes of the trade
OF the company and has resulted in the
income of the concern being materially
reduced. He holds that it is not a good
time 10 promote extensions of business,
and, SO far as the company Is concerned,
especially now when the company expects
to be called upon to build an entire new
gas plant and make further extension in
gas mains and electric light service in
Brattleboro Those expected additions to
the various branches of the concern :
business call for the raising of large
amount OF money and must be considered.

inquiry About Cfers.

President AIeloon is anxious to know
whether those interested have received
offers of any substantial amount towards
the construction OF the proposed addition
tc the trolley line I'm his opinion it would
not he possible to pay the interest on
$4,000 after taking out the proper ratio
OF operating expense which would prop
erly belong to this section of the road.
Even though there may be people owning
abutting properties along the line Of the
proposed road who would he willing to
contribute, he holds that the construction
Of the extension would put upon the com
pany the burden of operating it perpet-
ually, which, he declares. does not looI,
like a self-sustaining proposition without
| considering the matter OF interest on the
| investment.
! He has informed the interested parties
mat he, himself, would be glad to sec

rial aid from property owners may be re

YOU CAN'T BRUSH OR
WASH OUT DANDRUFF
The Simplest and Quickest Way 10 to
Dissolve Il.

The only sure way to get rid of dand-
ruff is to dissolve 1t. then you destroy
it entirely. To do this. get about four
ounces OF ordinary liquid arvon; apply
it at night when retiring; use enough
to moisten the scalp and rub it in gen.
thy with the finger tips.
Do this tonight, and by morning
most, if not all, Of your dandruff will
be gone, and three or four more appli-
cations will completely dissolve and
entirely destroy every single sign and
trace of it, no matter how much dand-
ruff you may have.
You will find, too, that all itching
and digging of the scalp will stop at
once. and your hair will be fluffy. lus-
trous, glossy, silky and soft. and look
and feel hundred times better.
If you want to preserve your hair. do
by all means get rid Of dandruf, for
nothing destroys the hair more quick
ly. 1t not only starves the hair and
makes it fall out, but it makes 1T
stringy, straggly, dull, dry, brittle and
lifeless, and every one notices it. You
can get liquid arvon at any drug
store. 1t is inexpensive and never
fails to do the work.-Adv.
