H Year Without a Summer. | he year 1816 has a remarkable bld ‘weather record and is known as Sthe yedr without a summer.” In that year there was a sharp frost in every montl, and the people all over the world began to believe that some great and definite change in the earth was taking place. The farmers used to refer to it as “eighteen-hundred-and- starve-to-death.” Frost, ice and snow ‘were common in June. Almost every green thing was killed and the fruit ‘was nearly all destroyed. During the month snow fell to the depth of three fnches In New York and Massachu- setts and ten inches in Maine. There were frost and ice in July in New &ork, New England and Pennsylvania and corn was nearly all destroyed in certain sections. Ice half an inch thick formed in August. A cold north ‘wind prevailed all summer. Men the Umbrella Losers. “Yf the umbrella is for a gentleman ¥ suggest that it be cheap,” the clerk gaid. “For a lady, the costlier the um- brella the better. “Ladies, you know, never lose um- ‘brellas, mever leave them in cars or shops, never carelessly allow them to be swiped. Why, there are gold and silver handled umbrellas, the property of ladfes, that have been coming back to us for repairs for 40 years. “But men—dear me! Men are liable to lose an umbrella the first day they take it out. “For & man, you say, sir? Then I recommend this strong and service- able article at 74 cents, reduced from 98." > Tall Lofting. P Many remarkable but yet properly wouched for feats of skill are record- ed of professional golfers. Thus on ‘one occasion when in his prime the Jate Tom Morris, Sr., undertook to demonstrate his ability in lofting a ball. For this purpese he stood in a quarry underneath the familiar Bal- lochingle bridge and sent a mumber of “gutties” in successiom up to the footpath at the top, a height of nearly 150 yards. Probably without knowing It in doing so he wes emulating an earlier performance of an Edinburgh player who once dreve half a dozen balls over the spire of St. Giles’ ca- thedral from the level of the street.

Stillman. At 9.30 Thursday morning the ses- sion of the superior court for Wash- fugton councy was reconvened in ‘Westerly with Judge Darius N. Baker presiding. “Albert Fuller,” who was convicted at the session in Kingston last week of the theft of a horse and carriage frdm Joseph T. Murphy of ‘Westerly, was called for sentence, the seven days' limitation given to offer opportunity to appeal having expired. Judge Baker, in consideration of the that “Fuller” had been sick since Lis incar tion in the Washington county jail, imposed the minimum pen- alty, which was a flne of $100 and a term of one year in the Providence county jail In conformity to law, Clerk Haswell respeated the sentence in detail to the prisoner. He explained that of the fine of $100, half the amount was to go to complainant and the other half to the state, and that in additicn Fuller would be required to pay all costs in the case. Fuller is the man who had stolen at least seventy-four horses during the past three vears, After the sentence of Fuller, C. M. Van Slyck, attorney for the insur- ance companies in the case brought by Gordon and Dunbar to recover $1,000 for loss by reason of fire at the Pleasant View dairy in Main street, Westerly, May 22, 1907, contlnued his statement, setting forth that the terms of the policies had not been strictly complied with, in regard to the claim for losses. There was strict instruc- furnish the statement of a magistrate or disinterested notary public to the effect that upon personal examination satisfaction is glven that the plaintiffs are honestly entitled to recompense for loss sustained by the fire. The jurors were excused while Mr. Van Slyck ad- dressed the court in the many techni- cal details of a fire insurance policy. He moved dismissal of the case for absolute failure to comply with all the terms of the insurance contract, or that the court instruct the jury to give verdict for defendants. Judge John W. Sweeney for plain- tifls argued that the cases of the In- demnity and American Central Fire Insurance companies were tried to- gether, and that as a matter of fact cnly the adjuster of one of the com- panies had Visited the scene of the fire and therzfore an agreement with both companies could not be effected. Every item of lose was given in de- tai] in the proof of loss filed with the local nts of the companies and which were in turn sent to the home The arzuments occupied an hour and twenty minutes, when the jurors were called in, and they were directed to Lring in a verdict for the defendant in both cases. Judge Sweeney gave no- tice of exceptions to the decision, The jury was then empaneled in the case oé Palmenus W, Bennett against New York, New Haven & Hartford Railroad Co., Joseph W.

He seeks to recover damages of $25,009 for in- juries received on October 7, 1907, when he was a passenger at the State street station. The train came to a stop, and in attempting to get on step of the car was pushed off by an employe of the company, and the wheels of the car went over his foot. He was “taken to a hospital and am- putation followed. Mrs, Mary E. Bennett, wife of the plaintiff, testified that she remembered the day Mr. Bennett went to Hartford and was injured. Later visited him in the Hartford hospital. When Mr. Bennett returned home, the leg be- came very sore and a physician was called for two or three weeks she dressed the leg daily. Mr, Bennett was recalled by coun- sel for plaintiff, and testified that the car did not start until both feet were on the bottom step and he had hold of the rail with hig left hand, when the trainman swung against him and kuocked him off. The jury was excused and Attorney Joseph Sweeney made motion that the case be dismissed as under the con- ditions it would be impossible for the trainman to knock Bennett from the car as described, and no claim is made that he was knocked from the car by the sudden starting of the traln. as iz set forth in one count of the alle- gation. The motion was opposed by Attorney John Sweeney and denied by Judge Baker. Albert Baker testified he was agent in Hartford. get aboard at the State street station Saw Mr, Bennett run to the morning train.
