and assuaged the thirst of sweating youngsters and grown-ups. This year, however, interest in the foun- tain seems to have lapsed, and it has been dry all summer. That the flowing of water through the arid pipes once more would be welcome is evidenced daily by the numerous boys who try to drink from the now waterless fountain.
 Lightning Hits House
 Plainville was visited by a brief but sharp thunderstorm shortly aft CT o'clock yesterday afternoon. al- though 1t escaped much more light ly than did towns to the south and west. There was practically only one real flash of lightning, but in this instance the bolt struck the house of John Lapore on Bicycle street and demolished the chimney. It did not set the house afire and the damage was slight. There was heavy rainfall for a few minutes but very little wind.

 Eandals At Work
 State police are investigating the doings of vandals who threw stones at the windows of a house now being erected on Fairview avenue and broke most of the panes in the ! front of the structure. One theory on which they are working is that the act of destruction is but an- other episode in the family row which resulted ir the appearance in court Monday night of Mrs, Jose phine Iegge and Mrs. Josephine Carrucci, both of whom were charged with breach of the peace after a hair-pulling tussle. The house which was the object of the vandalism is being erected by Mrs. Iegge's husband, which has led to the theory that the damage may have been done by way of reprisal. Another theory is that the damage is merely due to small boys with desire for target practice.
