LIGHTNING - BOLT KLLS HORSE Polish Milk Peddlers Have Narrow Bscape During Thunder Storm— Lightning Fellows Iron Wire and Strikes Barn and Pole. s Charged with having wronged Miss Rose Galuco, & pretty young Bridge- | port girl, and then having fled to %vade responsibility, Anthony Santo, aged seventeen years, was arrested at one of.the Berlin brickyard boarding houses this morning by Constable | John Hackett on a writ issued by a | Bridgeport lawyer. ° The arrest followed a search which covered a period of two months, dur- ing which a Bridgeport detective has | $een on the trail of Santo, who was | thought, at first, to have skipped to| some western state. The sleuth be- came aware, about a week ago, that a person answering the description of the man he was after, was living in Berlin and was employed at one of the brickyards. He got into com- munication with Constable Hackett who, after conducting a personal in- “vestigation, learned definitely that Santo was the guilty party. Subsequently, the detective, accom- panied by Tony Galuco, the father of the wronged girl, came here this morning to get his man. Santo| denied the charge at first, but after- | Wards admitted it, offering all kinds | of excuses for his action. b | Santo came to Berlin several weeks ago. He took employment at one of the brickyards immediately, and has been working there to hide ! his identity. Lightning Kills Horse. Louis Dutwievic and his son, Polish milk peddlers who reside on Oak street in New Britain, had a very! rarrow escape from instantaneous ! death shortly after 6 o'clock last| evening when a bolt of lightning | struck and killed a valuible horse | which they were driving, coming so ! close to them that a light current | Jpassed through their bodies. The Dutwievics, Who purchase milk from local farmers every ove- | ning, were just passing the farm of William © Whitham in Kensington, ' when the accident occurred. Before they had time to realize what hap- pened, the horse dropped dead in the | harness during a blinding flash, whic not only splintered the shafts of their wagon but also stripped the bark from a large maple tree by the way- weide. Feeling weal from fright, Mr. | Dutwievic accepted Mr. Whitham's invitation to come into his house to recover. Immediately upon entering, he fainted, from sheer fright. Church Clock Stopped. Fwary Austin, sexton at the Berlin . ;of a barn and of a heavy pole. | grass at the end of the Congregational church, has stopped | the machinery of the clock in the | tower so that the painters can cover the dials while they work about it. This will prevent it from becoming spotted. M Fight Follows War Discussion. Disagreeing on certain matters con- cerning the attitude Italy will be most likely to take in the great European war, a number of Italians who work at the Styles and Reynolds' brick- yards, entered into 4 lively discussion last night, which resulted in a fight that could put the battles at Liege to shame. The history of this last battle was gone over carefully in the Berlin po- | lice court this morning, Judge George : Griswold deciding, that Ernesto Cavo- lero neglected to use the proper | diplomacy in the matter and was re- | sponsible for the complicated circum- stances which followed. According to witnesses, Cavolero's views differed from those of Lauro Ronchetti and Alberto’ Paolo, fellow boarders. Finding that he could not convince Paolo by any other means, he decided to force him to agree with him. Without taking the time to de- clare a state of war, he landed a de- cisive blow on Paolo’s nose, following up with a number of other punches, which found soft places on the other’s face, A dispatch was sent to Constable Enrico Polo and he arrived on the scene just in time to prevent Paolo from being annihilated. He took Cavolero in tow® and gave him free lodging in the town lockup for the night, It is apparent from Judge Gris- wold's decision that he is a firm be- liever in mediation. He fined the ac- cused one dollar and costs on each of two counts, drunkenness and breach of the peace. Dr. Roger M. Griswold was called, as it was thought that the peddler had also been struck. The doctor revived him, but Dutwievic will be in no con- dition to resume his duties for a few days, owing to the effect of the shock. He was carried to his home in the Hardware city in a team sent down by his partner in, the milk business. The dead horse was removed today. The peddler valued him at $250 and pu.- chased him only recently. Peculiar Prank in Kensington. People occupying houses in the vicinity of the old feed storehouse on Farmington avenue, which was owned | formerly by William Brown, were given a bad scare during the storm which ravaged through this section i last evening, when lightning struck a tree in the rear of the storehouse, fellowed along an iron wire, and knocked huge splinters out of the side One of the splinters from the pole was thrown several feet into the air and | landed twenty feet away from the | tree which was struck and split in two. | To add to the confusion, a plot of | wire which | ccnnected the tree with the barn, tcok fire and blazed in a lively fashion tor a few seconds. E Italians living in one of ‘the beard- ing houses felt the house tremble | and they ran out into the street crying in fear. Only a short distance away, the lightning struck an electric light wire carrving current into Dennis Negri's | grocery store, blowing the fuse out in the store and leaving the place in total darkness. Electric Light Bulbs Shattered. Probably one of the most noticeable freaks which the lightning performed tuok place in William Lyons' barber. shop on Farmington road. He was deprived of the use of the electric lighting system in his place shortly after the storm came up, when light- ning struck the feed wire and blew out a fuse. Simultaneously, there was a lcud report and a shattering of glass, tor, in some manner one of his light bulbs was punctured with two clean cut holes. The God of Lightning seemed to spend the greater part of his wrath in Berlin, for reports of damage done came in thick and fast this morning. Among a number of trees which were injured by the storm, was a huge elm or. Caesar's hill. Trolley Passengers Walk in Rain. The Berlin-bound trolley car, due on Worthington ridge at 6:40, became stalled in Kensington in the raging storm owing to the fact that the fuses on both ends blew out. This is the i car which conveys the factory people to their homes and a number of them becoming impatient, after waiting for scveral minutes, walked home. Need- less to they were thoroughly drenched. Brickmakers Make Merry. Local brickmakers laid aside their worries about the *dead” season to- day, and journeyed to Momauguin in West Haven in automobiles to enjoy a shore dinner at one of the hotels there. . Funeral of Mrs. Cashman Tomorrow. The funeral of Mrs. Hannah Cash- man, who passed away yesterday af- ternoon at her home in Kensington, will be held from St. Paul's church at 9 o'clock tomorrow morning. High mass will be celebated. Interment will be in St. Mary’s new cemetery in New Britain. “Jim"” Johnson Fights Tonight. “Battling Jim” Johnson, the big } colored pugilist, who has been train- ing for the past few days at P. S. McMahon’s farm in Kensington, told a Herald reporter that he .is in the best of condition and that he- feels able to “put it all over” Sam Lang- ford, the Boston Tar Baby, whom he is to meet tonight in a ten round battle before the Stadium A. C. of New York. Johnson weighs about 210 pounds at present, slightly more than he did a few months ago, when he fought “Porky” Flynn, in Boston. He en- joys living in Kensington and says that he will return here again as soon as he arranges another bout. Berlin Briefs. Regal Hive, L. O. T.

Plainville _i\lews‘ HORSEMEN PLANNING FOR COUNTRY FAIR Rais¢ Moncy From Agricultural Show 10 improve Rac: Trac4 LIVELY INTEREST IN HORSE RACING Local Youngster Has Wireless Outfit— Make Alterations in Hotel Buila- ing—To Resume Operations After Month’s Shut Down—Briefs. Local sportsmen and men in neigh- boring towns interested in horse rac- ing are making plans for an agricul- tural exhibit and country fair to be held here probably in October, the Proceeds to be used in defraying the expense of improvements to be made at the Allen race track on East street next spring. The use of the land has been given up for horse racing by the owner and the half mile track built last year is well patronized by owners of fast horses and others fond of racing. Two or three hundred people visit the track every Sunday morning and several exciting brushes take place every week. In addition to Plainville horses there are several thorough- breds from Bristol, Terryville and Southington at the track every Sun- day and the interest shown in the matinees is responsible for the plan for improving the course. The belief is general that a two day fair would be a financial success and would bring in enough revenue to make several much needed changes at the track. It is not planned to have the fair conducted on very ex- tensive lines, the men interested in in the proposition figuring that a small agricultural exhibit with horse races and other sports would give general satisfaction this year. Deputy Sheriff W. C. Hart, owner of one of the fastest horses warmed up on the track, is enthusiastic over the idea and he belleve it will be success- ful. Other horsemen look favorably on the plan and are ready to do their share towards making the fair profit- able. Lovers of horse racing, who witness the brushes on Sundays, con- sider that a sizable sum could be raised from such an undertaking, as the townspeople would willingly pat- ronize it to help the cause along. The plans are yet in embryonic state and will not be greatly disturbed for a few weeks, as it is believed that there will be ample time to make ar- rangements for the exhibits of agri- cultural products and other features after other fairs in the state are start- ed. Will Make Alterations. J. J. Missett has had plans drawn for extensive alterations in the Hotel Clarendon building and within a few days he expects carpenters will begin work on the changes. Mr. Missett intends to give up a considerable part of the room now used as an office for the hotel for a store. There is a growing belief that with jthe removal of the post office to Whiting street business will be changegd to the east side of the rail- road cfossing and there is already a lively demand for store room in build- ings near Centra]l square. Mr. Mis- sett has had several offers from busi- ness men anxious to rent a part of the first floor of his building for a store. After the alterations are made but a small space will be used for the hotel office. Has Wireless Outfit. Roger Castle, one of the Plainville boys interested in wireless telegraphy, now has a complete outfit at his home on Canal street and he reports receiv- ing messages regularly. He has in- tercepted several messages sent out from the Arlington station and from scveral points along the Atlantic coast but as he has not as yet mas- tered the code he has been unable to tell anything concerning them. Since the United States announced its neutrality in the European war, wireless messages have been handled with considerable care and there has heen an appreciable falling off in the number of messages sent from regu- lai stations. Consequently the local youngster cannot pick up as many despatches as he could under ordi. nary conditions. Young Castle is putting in consider- able time learning to receive messages and he expects to have the code mas- tered in a short time. His friends are greatly interested in his experi- ments and take considerable pride in his progress. Plenty of Ice. Reports ot ice dealers at this time arc contrasting strongly with those given out a year ago when the reposi- tories in this section were all prac- tically empty, the men claiming that the supply they have on hand is much latger than they need and will no doubt satisfy the wants of the com- munity until the ice crop is harvested next winter. The White Oak Ice company is planning to ship ice from its reposi- tory at White Oak out of the state next week, its supply being larger ihan is required by consumers in this gection. The company at present sells ice to New Britain dealers, hav- ng given up the retail business last vear. The prices charged for this house- held necessity this vear are lower than usual but despite this fact the dealers report that cool weather ex- perienced all summer has kept the demand below normal. Decision Reserved. Thomas Missett of this place, was l;iven a hearing yesterday afternoon at the office of the secretary of state rcgarding the suspension of his auto license, which was temporarily taken from him as a result of an accident he was fined $150 by the court of the Hardware city. Mr. Missett has ap- pealed from the dec court and Secretary | announced that he would make known | his finding concerning the license after the case has been settled. Mr. Missett declared that the skid- ' dirg of his machine caused it to coi- i lide with a hydrant and other ob- stacles and that despite the action of the lower court in punishing him for reckless driving, the affair was purely an accident for which he should not be held responsible. Will Start Up Monday. The local plant of the Bristol Man- ufacturing company will resume oper- ations next Monday after being closed for a month, the longest shut-down in the recent history of local con- cerns. Not a single department has been in operation during the month ! and over 200 hands employed by the concern have been out of work dur- ing that period. It is understood that the mill will be operated on full time beginning next week. While factories in Plainville be affected to some extent by the war in Europe should it last many months, it is not thought that man- ufacturing business here will be hurt as much as in many other places. The Trumbull Electric company, Which | has the largest export trade of any of the local factories, deals with South American countries mostly and will probably be able to continue shipping its products without any se- rious interruption.
