dor, the local pastor. The President,
his daughters, Mr.. MeAdoo and Mfr.
Sayre. occupied the first pew in the
center and back of them were other
members OF the family. Dr. Grayson
and Secretary Tnmulty. Two old
hymns girlhood favorites of Mrs. Will
son, were sung by the church. choir.
The Rev DR.. Snyder then read briefly
from the Scriptures and spoke OF the
beauty and character Of Mrs. Wilson's
life. AS soon as the church service was
ended the short Journey to Myrtle
Hill cemetery was begun. School girls
dressed in white and holding laurel
branches lined the streets through
which the procession passed.
The cortese was close to the ceme-
terry when rain began to fall. The
downpour soon became torrential. Al
tent erected over the grave gave par
tial shelter to the family group, but
the thousands of people who came to
witness the burial were without pro-
lection.
Services at the grave were brief and
of impressive simplicity. AS he stood
there with his daughters, Mr.. Wilson
made no effort to conceal his grief. AS
the hushed voice of the preached re-
cited the burial service the Presidents
form was visbly shaken by emotion
and the tears streamed down his
cheeks. Others of the party wept ST.
lently. After the final benediction was
pronounced, the President slowly re-
turned to his carriage.
After the casket WAS lowered and the
grave filed, heaps of flowers, the trib-
ute of the nation, were piled high over
the tomb.
Less than four hours from the time
the funeral train arrived the President
and his party were once more on board
their special cars, and the return Jour-
ney was begun.

LIGHTNING CAUSES between
$4,000 AND $4,000 LOSS TO
CENTRAL Maine power STATION
Source Of Wateves Electric Supply Totally Destroyed And the
City Is Left in Darkness Tuesday-Failure of Alarms
To Work During Stern Aids Blaze

Waterville, Me-, Aug. u.-tSpeciaD.-
During one OF the worst electrical
storms that ever swept over this city,
the Bangs power station OF the Cen
trail Maine Power Co. at the foot of
Lockwood street was entered by light
ming that started fire. resulting In
a loss of between $4,000 and $40, 900.
The interior OF the building with it's
expensive apparatus for generating
and distributing electrical power IN
the city was practically totally de-
streyed. Flashes OF lightning had pre-
viously disabled three circuits on the
fire alarm system, and when the fire
broke out the call from Box "a failed
to register at the Central station. BY
the time the department was notified,
the blaze had about Is minutes start.
Several flashes of lightning had tenn
porarily disabled the wires about the
Irving White, who are employed at
the station, were caring for the
switches, the lightning entered by one
or more of the wires, and started a
fire In the wire coiling behind the
switchboard, which is in the gener-
ating room on the ground floor. Real
izing that It would be useless to at
tempt to extinguish the fire with wat
er, which is a conductor Of electric
ity, Furnish called to William Fogg,
one OF the line crew, who was at work
in the storeroom on the second floor.
He ran to Box "a at Main and Lock
wood streets. but the alarm failed to
ring in because the box was on one
of the three circuits that had been
crippled. A half-dozen or 30 of the
firemen had gathered at the station
when the three different blasts had
been sounded by the disabled circuits,
and when Fiagg came in the three
companies were almost ready. During
the delay caused by having to go to
the station, the fire crew of the Lock
wood mills had laid two lines Of hose
and was doing effective work.
All outside power sent into Bangs sta
ton was cut off from the other contrib
uting power stations 20 that the fire
might be fought In safety. The exclusion

the President was speeding eastward

~ Although thousands of visitors came
to Rome to-day to do honor to the
memsfy OF Mrs. Wilson, a Saba like
quiet prevailed. The special force of
police augmented by members of the
Georgia National Guard found little
to do beyond warning traffic from the
streets, through which the procession
moved.
1t was exactly 2.30 p. NJ. when the
Presidential special arrived and few
minutes later the casket. covered with
gray Bfoadclotf ana bearing q single
wreath of flowers, was lifted from the
funeral car by eight of Mrs. Wilson's
cousins and borne to the hearse.

back respectfully. The procession then
moved through black 1raped streets to
the First Presbyterian church.
More than 500 relatives and friends
of the Wilson and Arson families al
ready were gathered in the little
church. where Mrs. Wilson used to at

The Montenegrins Have
Joined Servia-Small
Places Captured

London, Aug L.--2.50 p. M.--Not a
living Austrian soldier is now on Ser
Wan soil. according to the Servian le-
cation in London. An official of the
legation AIDED that seven attempts by
the Austrians at different points to in
wade Servian territory had failed, and
the Austrians had abandoned the of
fepsive and were hurriedly entrench-
ing themselves on their own frontier
in the expectation of a Servian coun-
ter-attack.
A telegram from Nish today says
that decree in the Servian Official
Gazette announced the denunciation
of all treaties between Servia and Aus
ria Hungary.
1t was also officially announced that
the Montenegrin forces had Joined the
Servians and that the latter had cap
tured a number of small places on
Austrian territory.

of all electric power naturally kept the
city without lights and crippled the troll
ley service on the Fairfield, Oakland and
Augusta lines. For oven an hour six
lines of hose were poured into the win
dows of the building. The flames were
finally .drenched out, but not until after
practically the whole interior had been
charred. The ground floor with its cleo
trical apparatus was total loss, all ex-
cept the transformers, which were I'M
hurt save for bad wetting, and the
second and third floors used for store
rooms were badly damaged. Officials of
the Central Maine Power Co. found II
difficult to estimate the dafnaSe Tuesday
evening but said it would be between
$4,000 and $4,000. The generators, alter
majors and switchboards, each costing
several thousand dollars, hgured largely
in the loss, while the building, which
was to be replaced within a few months
by brick structure for which plans al
ready have been drawn, is almost a total
deprivation. Several hundred neople
gathered to watch the flames In spite
of the downpour and the firemen were
naturally somewhat hindered by the
crowds.S F.
After the fire had been put out the line
crews began at once to detach the feed
wires from the burned building and to
splice them SO that power might be re-
ceived from Fort Halifax and other con-
tributing stations. Within an hour after
the fire the city was restored It's lights
and the trolleys were able to continue.
Bangs station was one of the three gen
Grating and distributing points for power
used in Waterville and when its produc-
tive powers were destroyed by the fire
the feed wires were connected with those
of Fort Halifax and the Union Gas sta
ton. The losses are partly covered by
insurance.
Shortly after II O'Clock the fire broke
out again. 1t was discovered by the mo-
torman on the IL o'clock electric car,
who reported to Deputy Marshal simp-
son. An alarm from Box 81 called the
department and the blaze was quickly
quenched. As result OF this last FIRE.
power to the street pghts--both orna-
mental and arc--is destroyed ana the city

BELGIAN WOMEN
Defend VILLAGE
AGAINST GERMAN
FORCES AT LIECE

Paris, Aug. H., via London, $50 p. M
According to a special newspaper dis
patch the women workers in the Belgian
National Arms factory at Herstal, just
outside of tiege. defended their village
against the German attack. The men
were away serving In the army and the
women, according to the correspondent,
swore that the German troops should not
take the factory. They armed them
selves with revolvers and other weapons
with which they repulsed several charges
of the German Uhlans. When their am
munition was exhausted the women bar
ricaded themselves in the houses, from
which they poured boiling water on the
German soldiers in the streets. The cor
respondent says 1000 Germans were dis
abled by wounds or scalds.
Children and old men shared in the de.
fence of Herstal, and on Friday the Bel
gian colors still fioated from the factory

Chicago, Aug. 11-An increased
market for food supplies because of
the war. together with charges that
the farmers and stock raisers are hold
Ing their hogs and cattle for further
price advances, were listed today as
causes for the considerable increase
at which food supplies are being sold.
An investigation whether prices are
justified will be begun by the Coun-
ell committee on public markets, and
stated officials heads of civic organ
izations, expert economists and rep
resentatives OF the wholesale and re-
tail dealers.
Retail prices are going up no fast
er than the cost of raw MATERIAL said
+. e. White, director of Armour q
Co. today. 'All classes of meat are
advancing In price. This is only ma
tural because we are now called upon
to live of our own supply of cattle
and hogs and at the same time Eu-
rope wants to buy from us, being I'M
able as yet to import from South
America and Australia.
Timed and barreled meats, princi-
pally pork, are especially adaptable to
army use. Firms manufacturing these
commodities are not giving quotations
on them. Stocks in this country are
too limited. We cannot manufacture
goods fast enough for the demand. We
were caught with low stocks. which
means sky-hish prices on these goods"
A comparison of retail meat prices
shows an increase since last week as
follows:
