DAMAGE BY WIND
Storm OF Sunday Does Damage To
Trees And Electric Light Wires
No Frost Yet.

There have been some curious
turns of the weather lately, deserv-
ing of more than passing notice.
Three nights the mercury has drop
ped to 80 degrees but there has been
no frost, the fog or the high wind
preventing. Sunday a heavy rain fell
all day and was followed by such a
wind storm as has not visited this
section for years. Gardens would
look no worse after a disastrous
frost than they do now, corn all over
the county suffered and fallen
trees made the roads almost impas-
sable. Throughout the village many
trees were blown down but outside
st. Johnsbury things were much
worse. A motorist through DanvilIe
and Peacham on Monday said that
so many trees had fallen that the
roads appeared to be constructed
through a long wood pile. A farmer
in the edge of Danv:lle relates that
he started for home Sunday evening,
found a tree obstructing the road so
took a roundabout road but found
a tree had been blown down behind
him cutting off that road He was
forced to unhitch his horse and lead
it through the woods leaving his
carriage beside the road until the
next day.
A st. Albans party consisting of
Adjt.-Gen. Lee S. Tillotson and
others started from st. Johnsbury
for st. Albans at seven O'Clock Sun
day evening having come from Con-
cord, N. H, here without trouble.
They found trees lying across the
road which had to be chopped down.
The men themselves cut away half a
dozen and found others which had
been cleared away by motorists ahead
of them. They reached home at
seven the next morning, having spent
IL hours of the hardest kind of work
on an ordinary three hours trip.
The electric service here was not
interrupted except for few min
utes at a time but the wires were
blown off and considerable damage
of that kind done. On account of
the uncertainty of the street lights
and the danger of live wires few
pedestrians were seen around town
Sunday evening. Between the tele-
phone and the lighting difficulties
most Of the local electricians were
obliged to work all night keeping
things running. With the street lights
on and off, the fire alarm ringing at
intervals, and the wind bowling like
mad through the town it was not a
cheerful place to live in.
Telegraph service on the Lake road
was completely stopped and all day
Monday Hardwick was cut off from
the outside world by wire, both
telegraph and telephone having been
put out of commission by the storm.
Earl Drown and Donald McGregor,
returning from Barre by automobile
Monday morning counted Al fallen
trees along the way. The fury of the
wind spent itself in short time but
not until Tuesday morning did it die
down to it's normal rapidity.

AUTO SMASH FATAL
Albert HemOnd's Neck Broken
When Auto Crashed Through
Fence On Bible Hill Road.

Albert Hemond of Clark avenue
was instantly killed about $3.50 Sat-
urday night when his automobile
crashed through a fence and plunged
down a / 5 foot embankment on the
Bible hill road about a mile above st.
Johnsbury Center. Hemond was re-
turning from a trip to Island Pond,
and he was accompanied by Joseph
Trudell, painter at the Wright Gar
age, where Hemond was also employ
ed as a blacksmith. On the return
trip the men took the wrong road at
Lyndon and came over the hill. They
made a stop at the Beauregard farm
and then started for home. When
near the sugar place Trudell claims
that he became alarmed at Hemond' s
reckless driving and changed from
the front to the rear seat. He remem-
bers nothing more until he picked
himself up from the ground several
feet from the road. After a search he
located the overturned car and saw
that Hemond was pinned beneath it.
Being unable to liberate the man he
started for help and it was fully
three-quarters of an hour before he
appeared at Delos Bacon's. There he
told a disconnected story of the ac-
cident and called the police station
here. Several officers and DR.. w. B.
Fitch were dispatched to the scene
where Hemond was found dead be-
meath his car. The body was brought
to Calderwood's undertaking rooms
where examination disclosed that the
man had ribs broken and his neck
was also broken. 1t is thought that
death must have been instantaneous.
TrudelI escaped without injury.
Mr.. Hemond was % years old and
a native of Canada, the son of Mr..
and Mrs. Napoleon Hemond who now
live in Woonsocket, r. 1. He came
here from Wolfstown. P O., six
years ago and went to work in the
Ryan carriage factory, being employ
ed there as a blacksmith until the
place was sold to w. A. Wright. Mr..
Wright had retained him in the same
capacity. Five years ago he married
Miss Eugenia Benoit, who with two
children, Virginia, aged two and one
half years and Paul, aged eight
months, survives him. He also leaves
six sisters, Clara, Berth, Alice and
Antoinette of Woonsocket, Mrs. o.
Geneste of D'Israeli, P. O., and Mrs.
Albert Goslant of Black Lake, P. @.
and two brothers, Wilfred and JOS
eph of Woonsocket. He was a men,

MIDNIGHT FIRE
House on Valley Street Burned Las
Friday Night-$4OO Damage.


The combination chemical and
hook and ladder trucks were called
out about midnight Friday for a fire
at Valley street in house occupied
by Edward Mckee and owned by the
Passumpsic Savings bank. The fire
started N the ell part which was used
as shed and store room. The fam
lily was awakened by the barking of
dog and when Mr.. Mckee went by
one of the rear windows he saw the
flames breaking out through the
shed. He attempted to go into the
shed in hopes that he might subdue
the flames but when he opened the
door he was driven back by the fire
and smoke. He burned his hands
slightly on the door latch. By this
time the neighbors were aroused and
one of them rang the alarm from the
box on SoJ tn Park. The apparatus
from the Central Fire station and al
so Hose Company No. 1 from Fair
banks village responded promptly
and did efficient work. Although the
ell part was completely destroyed the
fire was kept from the main building
except for slight damage to the kit
chen. Some of the furnishings of the
dining room were damaged by water
as were those in the kitchen. Mr.. Nc
Kee estimates his loss at about $100
with no insurance. The loss on the
building will probably not exceed
$500 fully insured.

.JOvv

JOY"
The Commercial club is not dead
nor asleep, but after a short rest, is
here with the goods for Thursday
evening, September 80, at 6:15 at
Pythian hall. The first goods to be
presented will be a supper consist
ing of real food served in appropri.
ate quantities for hungry men. The
first number on the program will be
pulled off promptly at 6:15, not at
6:29 or 6:33, and not any other
night, but Thursday. After supper
a man who knows will tell US some
thing. We have imported a really
choice article for the edification and
enlightenment of the members or
the Commercial club. No jokers in
the pack this time. No wooden In
dians or near orators.
To be specific: We will first take
up the resolution relative to fake
and foolish advertising. After we
get this matter securely tied to the
post, the revival of Commercial club
activities will be begun in earnest.
The Tuck School, Dartmouth Col
lege, proposes to let us have a stu
dent come here and organize our
Commercial club activities for a
very small sum, this being a part
of the training given in the Tuck
School This man will be the princi-
pal speaker for Thursday evening
and will outline a general plan of
action for our benefit. This would
seem to be a very much needed thing
to do for st. Johnsbury. The school
has recognized the Bellows Falls
board of trade and given them

A bag of dark brown hair was laid be-
fore Magistrate Campbell today by Mrs.
William Krouse. In very dramatic tones
she explained how II was taken from her
head by her husband, William. The latter
looked on, sort of dazed, and didn't quite
remember removing the tresses from their
normal resting place.
In fact, William did not remember how
he happened to be In the Belgrade and
Clearheld streets station, nor had he any
recollection OF a struggle at his home.

Fem said that the woman appealed 10

lowed shortly after 20 see that her hus-
band did not renew his attack He was
q little late, he said, but managed 10

History has repeated itself Washing
ton again crossed the Delaware, but this
time In a different direction. He came
from the Jersey side, leaving Camden
with half a dozen followers. And, like
his namesake. this George Washington
had to navigate through floating cakes
OF ice. He landed at the foot OF Spruce
street and surprised. not the Hessians
this time, but Meyer Golritch, who was
roasting frankfurters.
George and his supporters surrounded
Golrltch at his stand near Water and
Spruce streets and began TO eat. They
were too hungry to ask questions, and,
after cleaning up most OF the sausage,
turned their attention TO FISH cakes and
fritters. Golriteh opened wide the throt-
tie Of his oil stove and turned out FISH
cakes at the rate or 40 miles an hour.
Everything Was speeding along happily
until the cook asked who was going 10
settle the bill. Then Washington and his
army looked amazed.
Two or three Of the customers said II
was on George" But he declared that
Il was on Tom" while Tom said he
thought II was on Bill"
Then Golritch lost his temper and de-
manded payment. There was a crash OF
pans, bottles and dishes. and the battle
attracted Policeman Goodfriend. He con-
Quered George and his army with a club,
ana conveyed the prisoners TO the ga and

WOMAN In PULPIT
AT CHESTER REVIVAL
Miss Anna A. Smith Takes Doc
tor Nicholson's Place in
Evangelist's Absence.
LrnoM A srArr connrsroNpENr. l

CHESTER, Pa, April 6.-Many of those
who attended the Nicholson Hemminger
revival service at the First Baptist
Church of this city were surprised this
afternoon when the service was con-
| Quoted by Miss Anna a. Smith. q member
of the campaign party who has hereto
fore devoted her time in this city to work
| among women and girls,
1t was explained that the Rev. William
p. Nicholson had not yet returned from
Carlisle. Pa, where he spent yesterday
his rest day." with his family, but that
he would return to this city in time to
conduct the night service at the taber-
nacle.
Although this was the first service of
the kind conducted here by Miss Smith, il
was one of the best afternoon meetings
held since the revival opened. The young
woman chose Faith" as her subject, and
delivered sermon on that subject that
would have done credit to an ordained
minister OF the Gospel
II want to emphasize the fact" she
said "that faith alone is not enough.
You must also work, for by that means
alone will you accomplish results. This
doesn't mean that you shouldn't pray,
for that, too. is necessary, but don't be
afraid of interfering with the Lords
plans by going out and hustlng yourself.
You do your part and lie VIII do His.
IF those who lowered the sick man
down into the temple at Capernaum had
merely had faith and not had energy
enough to go up there on the roof and
work so they might get the man to Christ
there would have been no miraculous
healing. And if you haven't energy
enough to work that same way for the
coming of Christ's kingdom you mustn't
wonder that it does not seem to be
realized more quickly.
Another thing l notice is that some of
you think that faith and prayer are al!
right for the heather, but that you per-
sonally don't need them. 1 want to say
right here that each one of you needs
Christ and all that goes with belief in Him
just as truly as do any heather in the
world. Put yourself in accord with God
first, then worry about your nelghbors and
the heather and you may accomplish
something for them that will amount to
something"
