PANIC INVERTED BY NOTES FROM ORGAN
St. Joseph's Church at Wilhmantic
 Struck by Lightning

willimantic, june 2S.-The boom ing notes of an organ, which drowned the faltering vboices or the choir helped yesterday to avert a panic in St. Joseph's Roman Catholic church during a violent electrical storm, when the steeple of the edifice was struck by lightning while high mass was being celebrated.
 The Credo had been, reached in the services and the large congregation listened to one of the most moving parts of the Roman ritual, when g. dazzling streak of lightning seemed to enter the church. A terrific clap of thunder follow within a fraction of a second. The detonation stunned the worshippers. Down near the altar two women tainted. Others became hysterical as big chunks of plaster, from the ceiling of rne organ loft, crashed down on the organ and about the choir.
 Pastor Claims People.
 Rev. Father T. F. Bannon, pastor of the church, who was conducting the service, stepped forward and urged the people to be calm, meanwhile sig mailing to the choir to proceed
 Then 1t was that the booming notes of the organ, saved the situation flooding the church with the double forte notes of the Credo and inspiring the choir, which had inyoluntarily fal- tered. Showers of plaster fell into the organ loft, but the mass music swelled through the building. drowning even the dying rumbles of thunder. The efforts of the priest and the organist had averted a panic. Many in the congregation said, after the service. that they never heard the Credo rem dered with more feeling.
 Fifty Pigeons Killed.
 Tn striking the steepIe the bolt of lightning splintered 0 great piece of granite and damage to the amount of several hundred dollars was done. Fifty pigeons which had sought shell ter in the bell loft, were killed
 Earlier in the day there was a heavy hail storm.

 Two years pass by. Mary has had a hard struggle keeping the homestead but she works for the future. when John will be with her and the little one.

 While the story is abundant with incl dents of the most compelling pathos. 1t Is rich in the innocent humor of the poor Italian and thrilling at times With scenes in the slums of New YorK.
 MT Beban has given the production all the fine traits that have made him noted as an actor. From the time he is seen making love to his sonora from his ve- netian gondola until he is seen shaking in a paroxysm of grief over the tiny grave. his face is ever an inspiration.
 Sharing the honors with MT. Beban Is the wonderful photography of the play. The early action of the story is laid in Italy, with It's vineyards and canals and quaintly groomed people. Then the story depicts Beppo's trip to America and the scenes on the docks upon leaving and ar irving.
