ALL SET FOR
BROWN BURNS BOUT
Burns is in Town and Brown Arrive; This Morning-Rankin in Fine Fet
 +Ia

This Morning-RanE<in in Fine Fet-
 tie.
 All is set for the boxing exhibition of the Pastime Athletic club at Olym- pie hall this evening and from the re- ports of the dopsters it looks as ii thi sexhibition would top all previous fights. Frankie Burns arrived in town on Sunday and put in a day of rest The Californian is in the pink of con dition and if Chic Brown of the navy is what he is reputed to be the star bout should be a slugging fest. Brown has quite some reputation to defend and a defeat now when he is aft CT the big boys would be somewhat Of a setback. Brown went against Benny Leonard last winter and stayed with him a short while through the kind ness of Mir. Leonard. On the whole Brown is one of the best in Connecti- cut and a good clean fighter, with a lot of pep.
 The semi final also looks pretty good as Young Suliican who boxed at the last exhibition is matched againt Reynolds of Bridgeport. Sullivan has quite a record and is clever although when he fought Corbett here he did not have to exert himself. Reynolds is an unknown quantity by the reports that precede him are farovable.
 The preliminary will give Red Ran kin his much needed and wanted chance to meet and exchange blows with one who has had other training than the mack of the barn kind" Red has been doing some hard training and boxing the past few weeks and on Sunday was in Al condition. Young MariSea who is an unknown will have to travel to put the red head out foI l the count.
 Thehout will be refereed by Dave | Fitzgerald of New Haven. Dave, we are sorry to ray, Oave is a native of Norwich and we hate to tell tales about our townspeoplel, has erred several times in his decisions in New Haven and has been sorely set upon
 by boxing critics. It is our earnest hope that he will use his best judg- ment and do as well as he has done before in Norwich and there will be nc kick Jack Shugrue will announce. | Manager Haste6t has done a good

5000 MILES WITH DOGS
Ephrata, Wash, Man Starts Across Continent-Canines Trot CheerfuIIy Along With Outfit, Making Six to Seven Miles an Hour.

An Ephrata man, c. W. Warren, left the Grant County seat on a 30o0-mile trip across the continent. with a very unique outfit. His means of transpor- tation are four Scotch collie dogs, whose combined weight is 300 pounds, and a vehicle of light construction, weighing, with it's load, only 300 pounds. The vehicle has four pneu- matic tire bicycle wheels, between which is suspended the drivers seat, with steering handles, pushbar and brake.
 Alaskan dog teams usually are hitch ed tandam, but Mir Warren conceived the plan of hitching his dog team abreast in the rear of his vehicle. The dogs trot cheerfully along after their master in their' specially constructed harness, pulling their load in the man ner Cf a combined harvester.
 Warren is travelling light, and will stop at night in towns and cities. His team makes six or seven miles an hour He left Ephrata May 27 by way of Sunset Highway, and plans to reach New York this fall, and will return next year by the Southern route.
 Letters of recommendation from Mayor Cross and business men of Ephrata to be presented to officials in towns through which he passes were given him. MT Warren. until few months ago was in the harness busi- ness in Ephrata. He expects to make his expenses en route.-Portland Ore gonian

Trolley employees all over the Shore Line Electric Railway were taking a referendum vote on Thursday on the question of agreeing to terms that would settle their wage schedule from June 1st, when the former schedule that was in effect expired.
 What the result of the vote was could not be learned, but it is ex- pected that it will be communicated to the company officials within day or two. In some quarters there was a strong feeling that the prosposed schedule would be accepted without any trouble.
 The new wage schedule that the men are called to vote upon is one that has already been accepted both by the company officers and the conference committee of the employees after a lengthy series of conferences. What remains now to have it go into ef- feet is its ratification by a referendum vote of the men

LIGHTNING cRIPRLEs
 MUCH CITY SERVICE
Telephone, Police and Fire Systems, Electric Lights and TrolIey-struck in GreeneviIle.


 Telephone lines all over the city, the city electric light plant, the fire alarm system, the police signal sys- tenn and the trolley telephone system were all in trouble on Friday evening from the effects of. a short but severe thunder storm that struck the city about 5 in the afternoon. Greeneville, if anything, apparently felt the effects of the lightning most and two big trees on the river bank across from the United States Fin ishing company plant were splintered by lightning bolts.
 In Jewett City the storm was ac- companied by hail. the stones being of unusual size but no hail was re- ported in this city.
 From 400 to 800 telephone lines were put out of order here. The switch board at police headquarters was in- volved sin the general crippling dur ing the early part of the evening Telephone linemen got to work i'm mediately after the storm and will probably be busy constantly until Sunday finding and repairing the trouble.
 At one time four circuits on the fire alarm system were out of order but all had been restored. except the Greeneville circuit during the early part of the evening. ~ The city arc lights on Laurel Hill the Washington street section, ovel Church street. along Shetucketl stree and Union street and in Greenevill' were out all night.
 Trolley cars arrived at Franklin square all out of time. some on tn Montville line being as much as 4 minutes behind time The cripplini of the telephone dispatching systen l contributed to the difficulty of hand ling the cars. One car on the Ros l well avenue line was burned out b, | the electricity and another on tn MontviIle line suffered the same fate
