MRS. KAMPF QUITS HER CITY DUTIES

For 13 Years She Had Been In Charge of Firemen's
 Laundry Work

Resignation of Mrs Annie Kampf, for 13 years the official laundress of the Bridgeport fire department. has disclosed romance. Mrs. Kampf. for more than a dozen years a widow, now is at Atlantic City on her second honeymoon.
 Thursday evening to Charles D. Ward of sos Lafayette street. MT. Ward is the purchasing agent at the Burns & Bassitk Co. in the South End. The ceremony. was performed by Rev. Dr. Richard F. Moore. pas- tor of the Sacred Heart church at the rectorv. News of the wedding will come as complete surprise to their many friends After the ceremony they left Bridgeport on their wedding trip. On their return they will reside at COB Lafayette street. Mrs. Kanpf sent her resignation to the fire board this week the resignation is to take ef- feet July 18th. No arrangements have yet been made by the commis- sioners to care for the laundry work at the fire houses but 1t is likely that the work will in the future be done at Hillside home. Supt. of Charities Spencer B. Gordon suggested before the meeting of the board of apportion- ment in February that the Hillside home do this laundry work. The fire commissioners demurred at that time because Mrs. Kampf is the widow of a fireman killed in the discharge of his duty.
 John Kampf her first husband was the driver of Mo- 6 engine in 1901. The engine house was then located next to the railroad tracks at Sea- vi.w avenue and Crescent avenue. The former crossed the railroad at grade. In response to an alarm Kampf turned his horses out of the house one winter night. There was no flagman at the crossing and he drove directly in front of a passing train. He was killed and his engine demolished.
 There was no pension fund at that time and Mrs. Kanpf has been for thirteen years official laundress Of tho department at salary of s1.3no

No GROUND FOR
 MURDER THEORY IN 'STRATFORD
Blood Found On Side of House Was That of Chick
 on Killed for Dinner

What was supposed to have been the tI63d .3I 6k ]. hn. .a1lsgsd = murdered man was actually the gore from . dead kh1cken, according to testimony of witnesses before Coroner John J. Pfelan this morning. The coroner was Investigating the death of Charles E.. Thompson, whose father though the boy had been murdered.
 B. c. Thompson, the father. testi- ned that there was blood on the side of the house in Stratford where the boys body was found. The witness could not explain why there was no blood on the ground or in the house. The witness, did not accuse any par ticular person of killing his boy but was sure 1t was case of murder and not suicide.
 Mrs. Charles E. Thompson told how her husband came home about 9:30 on July I. the night of the fatality. She demonstrated with him about drinking. after he displayed a whisl<ey bottle but he lonlt laughed. When he f1ourished a revolver she took it away but he afterward snatched it and shot himself. All he said before he died was "goodbye."
 William Raines and other Stratford residents told about the chicken being killed for the Sunday dinner. They satd the head of the fowl was thrown against the side of the house, which caused the spatters of blood.
 The father of the dead man claim. ed | girl told him young Thompson had followed his wife and Stratford youth named Donald Bond. When the girl, Emma Kuhmas. was called 5 to the stand, she said somebody told her Thompson had followed his wife and young Bond. When Mrs. Thomp- son was asked about this she explain cd that. Bond had merely walked part of the way home with her. one after noon and that there had been nc 1. trouble with her husband.
 The coroner reserved decision.

HEAVY HAIL At LlScOMB.
Storm Damages Gardens, Breaks Win

Storm Damages Gardens, Breaks Win
dows, and Frishtsns Horses.
The hail storm of Wednesday after
noon was severe in streaks in the Lis
comb neighborhood, where gardens
were damaged, windows were broken,
shingles torn from roofs and horses
frightened to the extent that they got
into wire.
West and south Of Liscomb the
storm was heaviest. At the John
Speicher farm across the river eight
windows were broken and shingles tom
from the house.
Oats fields in the neighborhood were
riddled, looking more like stubble after
the storm passed. Trees were stripped
of many Of their leaves. East of Lis
comb there was no hail and only a
light rain.
In the Bethel Grove neighborhood
several horses were cut badly in wire.
j. w. Miller was blowing when his
team became frightened and ran into a
fence. One of the horses was cut
badly. A horse on Thomas Patton'5
farm was also cut badly.
The hail was not without its use,
however, and ice cream proved ia
vorite dish for supper. Many of the

Hail, which fell not to exceed fifteen
minutes late Wednesday afternoon.
did much damage in spots turnout the
county. Garden truck was riddied,
strawberry crops were ruined, oats
and winter wheat suffered, and fruit
and other trees were stripped Of their
leaves.
From all reports available today the
storm was heaviest north and east.
However, there are exceptions to this
general path Of the storm, as in Green
Mountain, and in the Marion town
ship bunker neighborhood, the hail,
altho heavy, was small, and no dam
age is reported.
blessing Has Heavy Loss.
]. L. blessing, truck farmer living
half a mile southeast of the city
limits suffered severe loss. His ten
acre farm was practically. stripped of
everything in the way of vegetables
and fruit. Today blessing had eX-
pected to harvest 300 crates Of straw
berries. Instead he has not left on
his vines full crate, green berries
and all.
Mr. blessing estimates his loss at
$1,000. All his tomato plants. many
Of which contained fruit already set,
and all early cabbages, that had be-
gun to head, were ruined, together
with all the other vegetables with the
exception of seed onions.
C. c. Millhiser, on South Twelfth
avenue, also will have a heavy loss.
Five acres set to tomatoes were cut all
to pieces. There will also rbe heavy
loss in Strawberries on this thirty
six acre place Across the street from
the Millhiser farm there was no hail
at ALL
On Gus Schultzs farm, in the same
neighborhood. winter wheat, and
fine stand at that, was cut off close to
the ground.
At the old pottery plant at noon to-
day hail lay in large quantities four
inches in depth. which gives some
what Of an idea how heavy the fall
was in the southeastern part Of the
city.
Grocer Mills Loss Small.

Western Grocer Company mills, be-
lieves from all reports he has re-

the company's loss will be small. At
first it was feared both corn and
tomatoes would. suffer severely, but
the corn does not appear to have been
hurt very much, presumably because
it is still small. This is the case on
the Martin Liston farm east of the
pottery. On the LaPlant farm some
damage was done to tomatoes but
only slight. and not any to corn.
Cherries Also Suffer.
Early and late cherries, the former
now in process Of ripenins, were
knocked off Of trees, in orchards near
Albion. Some damage was done also
to apples and plums, altho these two
crops, it is believed, will not be hurt
as much as cherries
Two miles west of Indian Bridge the
roads were dry following the storm.
In Albion the streets were deep in
mud. On the east side Of the main
street hail stood in deep piles for
hours after the storm Farmers re-
port that corn is not hurt seriously.
The great damage in the Albion neigh
borhood is in Strawberries. w. c. Van
Horn, heavy grower Of fruits, esti-
mates his loss in Strawberries at be-
tween $500 and $500. and N. H. Pratz
another fruit grower, will have about
as heavy loss. Garden truck in all
parts Of the town of Albion was
riddled by the hail
