- WESTERLY AND Damage Done By Thunder Storm—Cyrus Randall Held in $500 Bonds—Honor for Abel F. Babcock, of Hancock Post—Beard of Trade’s Interesting Meeting. A local manufacturer §s in faver of giving his large foree of eperatives a half holiday on the day of the laying of the cornerstone of the new town building and eourthouse, but does not deéire to act Independently in the mat- ter, or to take the lead, as it might not meet with faver ef some other employ- ers. He favers a general half holiday in the town and that all be given op- Portunity te participate. When the propositien of recommend- ation for a half holiday was suggested to James M. Pendleton, chairman of the commisstor, he said he would pre- sent the subject to the members, add- ing that it was the intention to have a big celebratien on the date of the dedication of the building. If a half hollday was desired on the date of the cornerstone laying, he thought it proper that the recommendation should come from the town council, the official ®ody of the town. Cyrus Randall, colored, who was ar- rested by Policeman James C. Sullivan in New London last Sunday uvpon de- scription furnished several weeks pre- vious by Deputy Sheriff Casey of Paw- oatuck, was before Judge Nathan B. Lewis in the Sixth district court Tues- dey. He was charged with the larceny of iron pipe, provisions and clothing to the value of §i5 from the cottage of S. 8. Smith at Matunuck Beach on the night of Jan. 30. Randall waived ex- amination. Hg was adjudged probably guilty and held in bonds of $500 to answer that charge in the - superior court for Washington county at the mext sosslon to be held at Kingston. As reeuits of the severe thunder, lightning and rainstorm of Tuesday night, many sections of the town of Westerly were flooded, a house was struck by lightning and destroyed, a bull and cow killed, a trolley pole splintered and car disabled. A cottage located off the Boom Bridge road, near Boom DBridge, and owned by N‘rs. Abel Palmer, was struck by lightning, took fire and was completely burned with all its con- tents. The house was unoccupled, but furnished, as Mrs. Palmer, since the death of her husband, lived near by in another house she owns, with her ter, Miss Lathar. There is a cluster of buildings in the vicinity and they were saved from destruction by the downpour of rain and the vigorous work of & volunteer bucket brigade. The roof of the barn owned by John Susanna took fire several times from burning brands that were carried by the wind from the Palmer house, but the work of the water bucket handlers was equal to the emergency. Wednesday morning a bull and cow were found dead in the barn of Court- land P. Chapman at Avondale. It was found that lghtning had struck the barn, cutting a hole about a foot square in tne roof, tore off shingles for a distance of 15 feet and splintered the conductor to the ground, and with violence sufficient to kiil the two ani- mals. The barn did not take fire and nothing was known of lightning’'s vis- itation until the barn was opened in the morning. ° As the 9.15 car from Watch Hill neared the residence of Tristam D. Babcock the lightning struck a trolley pole and ended its usefulness andalso @isabled the controller on the head end of the car,without injury to the motor- man. After the mishap the car pro- eeaeded slowl to the carbarn, manipu- lated from the controller on the rear end of the car. The elestric light service was crip- pled in some sections of the town. The storm in all its fury continued for over an hour and was the most severe of the recent unusually severs storms. Abel F,- Babcock, ;e:ior vice com- mander of Hancock post, No. 18, de- Almost a Miracle. Ome of the most startling changes @ver seen in any man, according to W. B. Holsclaw, Clarendon, Tex., was ef- fected years ago in his brother. “He had such a dreadful cough,” he writes, “that all our family thought he was’| going into consumption, but he began to use Dr. King’s New Discovery, and was completely cured by ten bottles. Now he is sound and well and weighs 218 pounds. For many years our fam- ily hae used this wonderful remedy for Coughs and Colds with excellent results.” It's quick, safe, reliable and guaranteed.

The last West- erly man to hold this position was Paul H. Hillard, adjutant of Budlong post, No, 81, department of Rhode Isl- and. When rank was recognized in the organization the appointment carried with it the rank of celonel. The regular meeting of the Westerly Board of Trade was held Tuesday evening in the town hall and was call- ed to order by President Albert! R. Stillman, with 25 members in attend- ance. Immediately at the opening he introduced Charles Wilson Brown, pro- fessor of geology at Brown university, who gave a learned and interesting talk on the subject The KEconomie Value of Rhode Island Marsh Lands. He explained the cause of these swamp lands and demonstrated how. they could be drained and converted to ag- ricultural purposes, especially for cran- berry culture. At the conclusion of the able address Professor Barnes recelved a unanimous vote of thanks. He ad- vocated development of peat produc- tion and said there were thousands of acres of peat grounds in Rhode Island and that it is a business project that deserved the consideration of the Board of Trade, and told the sectlons where located and the volume of product. At the business session Dr. John Champlin reported that representatives of vrospective concerns had visited Westerly and negotiations were being made for locations. The company that planned to occupy the Main street property has not yet abandoned lease or purchase of the mill property, al- though the $20,000 subscription in stock had not been reached. Frederick C., Buffum reported for the municipal improvement commlittee, recommending the paving of Broad street, and suggested that the Board of Trade arrange a plan to submit to the financial town meeting providing for the pavement and for an appro- priation to carry on the work to com- pletlon. He also suggested the paving of Main street near the Sherman plant. He also called attention to the dirty condition of the streets and recom- mended the placing of receptacles for rubbish and have a general cleaning up before the summer season opens. Twenty years ago he took no stock in the death dealing facilities of the flles, but now there is a general fear of flies, for they are a dangerous Insect. He advocated the general destruction of flies on a sclentific basis and told that it could be accomplished by keeping the premises perfectly clean and disin- fecting the interlor of the houses. He said this is a matter that should be considered by the health department. J. Fred Barber, Lafayette F. Foster, John A. Lanihan, Louis Solomon and Charles Goldberg were elected to mem- bership. James M. Pendleton reported that efforts were still being made for -an early morning train to New York for the special accommodation of Watch Hill summer visitors. There is more activity at the New York end than at Westerly and he suggested that Direc- tor Milner, who has interests in West- erly, be invited to aid in the work. In discussing the suggestion regard- ing the paving of Broad street James M. Pendleton sald that the public li- brary, the high school, new courthouse and town building were located in that street and that he Dbelieved vitrified brick would occasion less noise than anything else. Some may not consider it proper for Westerly to have any- thing but granite blocks, as their man- ufacture is the Industry of the town: therefore, the matter should be given further consideration by the committee before action is taken. Frederick H. Buffum said he realized that it was bad business to talk vitri- fled brick in Westerly, but he favored brick for Broad street, as that pave- ment is noiseless and clean, compared with granite blocks. President Stillman and Dr. John Champlin also spoke in favor of the brick pavement. Irvine O. Chester presented a resolu- tion stating that the greatest need of town of Westerly is a system of sewerage, and that action be t at the next meeting that may result in a system satisfactory to the people. The resolution was referred to the health committee. th Local Laconics.
