WIDDLETOWN HIT HARD Electrical Storm Puts Telephones and Drawbridge Out of Commission— Other River Towns in Darkness, Middletown, 9.—Telephone and electric light plants suffered con Aug. ider- | ably from the storms of vesterday and last night throughout this section of the state, according to ceived here today. In this city 311 telephones were put out of commission, the telegraph wires local station of the New York, New Haven & Hartford railroad were burned out by reports re- at the lightning and the motor apparatus on the railroad draw- bridge over the Connecticut river was rendered useless from the same cause. Today trains are being operated by tel- ephone and the drawbridge by hand. In East Hampton 148 tclephones were put out of commission. The high tension wire of the Connecticut com- pany’s power house at Berlin, sup- plving power to local and interurban trolley lines went down south of West- field, crippling trolley service to such an extent that on some lines cars were | and paid a hurried visit, not in operation until forenoon today.

FEdwards has been in the Gulf of Mexico and adjacent waters and saw parts of the world he never expected to visit. The letter demonstrates that the young seaman is grasping opportunity every time it raps at his door, by studying the his- tories, peoples and customs of the countries he and his associates visit. The letter follows Dear Aunt: Just arrived here this morning from Havana, Cuba, and now I find that I really have time enough to sit down and give you an account of my- self during these two months of my | absence. I Intended to write when | I received your last letter in Panama, but thought that as long as we were | so near home that I had better wait and give you an account of the whole trip, and as I have been studying the history of each country for that very | purpose, I think that T had better write about the trip from beginning to end while it is still fresh in my | memory, so here goes. After leaving Norfolk, our next stop was at Port au Prince, Haiti, and, | although that country was by no means unfamiliar to me, I really never thought that you might like to know more about it than what T have formerly written, so while I am dwelling on that particular place T will proceed to say sométhing about it. Haiti itself has the merit of heing thoroughly alive and. while not | presenting an altogether pleasing pic- ture, is a country worthy of serfous study. The government, though re- publican in form, has been described as a military mixup, for the presi- | dent, who is supreme. and who en- | forces the laws or ignores them, ac- cording to his own pleasure, general- Iy keeps the country bound up in revolutions. Very few rulers have ever completed their term of office. Nearly all have either been assassi- nated or exiled. Port au Prince, the capital is situated at the extreme ecastern end of Gulf of Gonavaives. laid out, and utterly neglected. | Everyone throws their garbage out flf‘ the front door and heaps of broken bottles and crockery he's decorate the front door vards. The ity boasts of 60.000 inhabitants, and possesses every natural advantage that a capital could require; but little use, however, is made of these advantages, and the place is unpl nt, owing to the lack | of sanitation. The language of Haiti is French, which is spoken in its pur- ity by the educated. hut the lower class of people speak a creole patois, | which deserves to be a seperate lan- guage altogether. The most import- | ant product of Haiti is mahogany, which can be found to be of excellent | quality. | After leaving Haiti, our next port | was Trinidad, Port of Spain, and in other words, “the land of the hum- ming bird.”” Tt is hy far the most beautiful of all the Western Indian Islands, for it possesses magnificent scenery and has excellent roads and is in a climate which, while essential- ly tropical, is not oppressive. Trini- dad was discovered by Columbus on his third voyage to the new world and it was so named by him in fulfillment of a vow to dedicate the first land sighted to the Most Blessed Trinity. In 1797 Trinidad was sur- ! rendered by the Spanish to Sir Ralph Abercromby, since when it has been a British colony. We coaled ship im- mediately upon our arrival there, and sent men ashore to purchase Neptune costumes, that being the last port we were to visit hefore we crossed the equator, as Trinidad lies 10 degrees north of the line. Teddy Roosevelt came aboard shortly after our arrival. | owing to the leaving here that being popular even country, he had off.

The Ruler of the Mighty Deep, after his official calls and parade, at once proceeded to get busy with his prospecti® subjects, and made things quite lively for awhile, and left no stone unturned to make a thorough job of it. His police were the acme of vigilance and it wonld have taken more than 2 Sherlock Holmes to outwit them. The two jndges were tender hearted officials, and on one or two occasions was seen to surreptitiously wipe away a tear when some particularly | heinous offender was brought before him, but he remained true to his trust and the guilty party generally | got what was coming to him in a! manner he won't soon forget. The doctors, barbers and hears, certainly did their duty in a ver yefficient, sclentific and thorough manner, as many a landlubber can testify.

After the ceremony was over every one was given a cer- tificate to show that he was a trusty shellback of the deep, and Mr. Mec- \doo was kind enough to sign a cer- each man of the ship's company. Our next stop was Rio Janeiro, which is the capital and which has a population of over one million. As you approach the bay of Rio the first thing that catches the eye is the famous Sugar Loaf méuntain, which stands majestically in the back- ground and forms a picture of mag- nificent scenery. Later when given liberty, this mountain was visited by many of the crew, and in order to | gain the top there is an efidless wire cable, which has a basket or car at- tached and will hold about fifteen or twenty people and runs from the summit of Mt. Corcovado to the top of Sugar Loaf mountain. It is hauled | up and down by means of a steam engine. When the basket or car is about half way between Sugar Loaf and the starting point the car is sus- pended in the air for about ten min- utes at a height of 800 feet. At the top of this mountain it is stated that the most picturesque scdiery in the | world is obtained. Agriculture is Brazil's most important industry, al- | though there are diamond and gold mines there. Our next port was Montevideo, Ur- uguay, which is another beautiful and also the capital. The city | is noted for its heal.hfulness, owing | to the good drainage and most vig- orous breezes that sweep in from the and its natural advantages have been so wisely improved by the municipal administration that it an- nually attracts many visitors and will no doubt hecome one of the greatest summer resorts of the con- tinent. Montevideo offers all the ad- vantages of the modern up to date city and is embellished by numerous parks, suburban resorts and bathing beaches, also magnificent public build- ings and elegant residences; the city also noted for its many charitable societies. Uruguay consists of many swamps, and in some places it is well wooded with abundant water and is everywhere adapted for gazing -and is suited for agriculture. TIts princi- pal crop is wheat, Indian corn, millet, oats, rye and flax, but the cattle and sheep industries are the greatest source of wealth, and are rapidly de- veloping.

According to the census in 1909, the population of Blanca was 798,962, and an increase since the census was 288,- 771. Our stay in Argentine was just long enough to take coal and water aboard, although Argentine sailors offered to help with coaling if the ship would stdy long enough to allow our men time enough to go ashore, but as the captain was anxious to proceed to the other coast we left shortly after the coaling. Our next port was which i1s a small city, if it can be really called one, and aside from be- ing delayed there and having to wait for our coal to be mined nothing of much importance ean be said in con- nection with it, although it has many coal mines which are worked day and and though small it is a very busy place. Soon after coaling we proceeded to Valparaiso where liberty was granted to all the men, some taking the trip over the mountains | the Chillan capital.

Mrs. Morris, now the wife of Frank G. Morris of 17 Revere place, Brook- lyn, one of the co-respondents, and daughter of the Rev. Jay Hamilton of Trinity M. Manhattan, complained that found the house at White closed when she called with the court order on July 5, and asked that her former husband be compelled to pro- duce their daughter or go to jail. The motion to punish was opposed by Mr. Taylor, who took the ground that his client, in cutting adrift from lall old ties, was moved by conscience and a deep paternal regard for the welfare of his daughte In this he was borne out by Mrs. Morris’ father and a sister, Maud Hamilton.
