Although only one case has appeared in this town, nevertheless the authori- ties are leaving no stone unturned to prevent the disease getting any foot hold. Dr. Griswold said he has arrived at no decision yet, when the schools can be opened.
 The lower grade room in the Worth ington school, of which Miss Edna Bugbee is in charge, was to have com menced it's session this morning, but the school board decided to postpone the opening until later. This is model room, and the state school board wished it started in advance of the other scFc ols, so that new teachers could observe. The extra expense en- tailed is paid by the state.

 The storms of yesterday and this morning created no little havoc about the town Last nights storm was the worst in years. The house of Her. bert Goodrich on Warrington Ridge was struck, the chimney being com pletely demolished and three large holes made in the roof. The bolt passed out through the cellar. The estimated damage is $500. barn near the home of Mrs. James P. Lin coin was also struck but little dam age was done.
 The rain conspired with the light ening in making travel by trolley very uncomfortable. The car in charge of Motorman Michael O'Brien and Con- ductor John Kenney was hit by a bolt about 4:30 o'clock on Pennington Road, near the Lincoln cemetery and both controllers were entirely burnt out. The passengers were coniderably scared and many walked to their homes, a half mile distant. The ter rife downpours made it impossible for the trolleys to pass under the bridge near the depot. The water at one time was over five feet deep and the pipe proved entirely inadequate in caring for the overflow. Many autoists being unfamiliar with the depth of the water attempted to pass through the water but met with disastrous results. Machine after machine was lowed out last evening and this morning.
 The electric lights soon succumbed to the element last evening and there was scurrying in many homes to pro- cure candles and oil lamps. The te1e-

 Hold Cornroast.
 A party of Kensington young peo pie enjoyed a cornroast al the upper reservoir yesterday afternoon. This is an annual affair but the club has as yet no name. There were twenty eight present, fourteen of each sex. The feature of the outing was base ball game, the teams being led by William J. O'Brien and John Fltz- gerald. The girls insisted on playing and sides were chosen. Details IS to the exact score are lacking, but Mr. O. O'Brien's side claims the victory Tho feature of the game was the catching of Miss Kathryn McKeon, who as one opponent said made Ray Schalk look like an amateur" Miss Nora Collins of Springfield, a sister of Ray Col lins, pitcher of the Boston Red Sox, emulated Ty Cobb in right field for the losers.

GOULDS BEGIN
 FIGHT FOR R. R.

Special to Gateway by United Press)
 DALLAS, Tex, Feb. 2.-The Gould interests today began their battle to retain control of the Texas & Pacific railroad. The receivcrship asked by B. F. Bush, receiver for the St. Louis, Iron Mountain & Southern railroad, is expected to be one of the most hotly contested legal fights in corporation annals. The petition was filed Dec. 27 and the hearing is to begin today before Federal Judge Meek. The pc tition, netered by the Bankers Trust company of New York, alleges that the interest on $25,OOO,OOO in second mortgage bonds, issued in 1888, has been in default since 1907. The total interest and principal in defualt is said to amount to $14,OOO,OOO. The petitioner asks an accounting of the earnings and property of the railroad, applicable to the payment of the bonds. The complaint alleges that for number of years the income from operation, instead of being ap- piled to payment of interest on the bonds, was used for improvements, betterments and other purposes. The petition also includes the New Orleans Railway company, a Texas & Pacific property in Louisiana The Iron Mountain is the owner, subject to pledge, of more than $23,OOO,OOO of the $25,OOO,OOO bonds issued under the mortgage. The business war between the Goulds and certain antagonistic interests are said already to have been responsible for the International & Great Northern and the Missouri Pacific receiverships. An agreement as to the Texas & Pacific property failed. George J. Gould is president of the Texas X Pacific, which has been controlled by the Gould family since the days of Jay Gould. It operates under a federal charter granted March 8, 1871. The company was reorganized without foreclosure in 1888. Recent figures show the Missouri Pacific, also in the hands of receiver, and allied lines, owned S6,555OOO of the Texas & Pacifc's outstanding shares.
