Electrical Storm Causes
Much Damage in Newport

About o'clock Thursday afternoon
this city was visited by the worst cleo
trical storm in many years. The vivid
flashes of lightning continued for
about half an hour. The Foster Block
on Main street was struck, the bolt en-
tering the building through the roof
and striking into the Photographic
studio of A. Allyn Bishop. The ap-
pearance of the room a second later
would indicate that an instantaneous
process for damaging property had
been installed.
About the time the lightning was
playing pranks in the Bishop studio
another bolt struck the main feed wire
of the arc lamp service on Main street,
opposite the Goodrich Memorial Lii
brary, and for a short time the entire
length of Main street was full of cleo
tricity and brightly illumined. No
damage aside from putting the street
lights out of commission was done by
this bolt. Another bolt struck the
Prouty & Miller Mill, which was de-
stroyed.

CAMP DEVENS One.
OF THE FINEST.
Drafted New Englanders
Will Occupy Most Heath
full Camp in Country

Aver, Mass, July 22.-The big can
Torment under construction which as
Camp Devens, is soon to be the tenn
porary home of the thousands of New
England men just drafted for the new
national army is about one quarter
completed, according to estimates Of
army officers and civilian constructors.
The progress made during the first
month toward Transforming an 5000
acre tract of husband into a military
city of nearly 10000 inhabitants is re-
gafded as gratifing, and officially the
work was declared today to be "ahead
of schedule.
The camp will be one of the most
heathful of any Of the environments
OF the country, in the opinion of san
itary officers. Its natural features of
topography and geographical sur
roundings are considered ideal, and
advanced methods of sanitation are
being applied TO guard to the utmost
the health of the men. Flies and
mosquitoes have been made the OBJ
ject of an energetic effort towards
elimination with much success. Sick
ness has been prevented buring the
first month of preparations among
5000 Workmen and soldiers now here,
each one of whom has been instruct
ed in applied individual sanitation,
officers said.
To work out sanitation scheme
alone for city of such proportions
would, in peace time, have been re-
garded as requiring months of study,
but engineers, under the direction of
Capt. Edward Garfield, U. S. A.,
West Point and Massachusetts In
stitute of Technology graduate, have
tackled the problem skillfully and
have made visible progress.
