Accompanied by a crashing thunder storm which made a record for electri- cal disturbances in thig city, & torrent of rain arrived here at about 2.30 o'clock to break the long drouth under which the country has been parching since the early part of June. For half an hour the rain came down in solid sheets, sending the ‘unprepared scut- tling to shelter in all parts of the city, while the vivid and frequent flashes of forked lightning had the timorous shuddering with apprehension of where it was likely to strike next. Three houses in the Falls were re- ported struck, but without serious damage, a queer lot of pranks was piayed when the electric fluid struck at the home of Supervisor Aifred Da- vis, below the state hospital, a dozen trees were split in different parts of the city, and the trolley service, elec- tric lights and power from the city station interrupted, and circuits on the fire alarm system burned out. In the first heavy fall of rain, which lasted fér about half an hour, the sur- face coating of all the sidehill streets was brought washing down on to the levels, but no bad washouts were learned of. After the heavy pour of the first half hour the rain slackened, but continued in a “well _regulated downpour for about haif an hour lJong. er. It was the first rain which Nor- wich has seen since a light shower on June 24 which gcarcely wet the sur- face of the ground. At the central fire station Chief Stanton was on ‘hand waiching the switchboard and pattipg in the fuses as. fast as they were burned out. In the first flash the fuses on the Preston and Laurel Hill circuits were burned out, and before the storm six circuits has been burned out. All were put back into working order be- fors the,rain had fairly ceased falling, except that a pair of wires was burned clean off on a pole at the Boswell ave- nue park, cutting out box 25, which Chief Stanton did not try to repair. | | Thursday night. as he would have to run a palr of wires. When the current came in over the skitchboard the flame shot out in a three-foot jet, making the switchboard room a nervous place to work in whlle the storm on. About 100 local telephone lines were put out of commission, and the repair men were out putting some in order after the storm. but expected to do most of the vork today by an early start this morning, They may find more lines than have already been re- ported. In many telephones the first seemed to be the one sharply when the s*orm broke with th, thunder and light- telephone poles or wires ning. No were down At the city electric light plant there was also trouble, ané the electric lights around the city went out half a dozen times dur he storm. It caught the motion pi in the midst of their shows and in one e just at the critical point where e uplifted knife of the hero was to be plunged into the viliain, who there- by was saved the fate he so richly de- served.

Harper, wife of Dr. F. J. Harper, of Boswell avenue, also felt th effects of the electgic bolt which struck a pole across the'street from her home and burned the wires off. With her son, she saw the lightning strike and felt the electricity in the air. Another pole to be struck was at Norwich Town, above Wightman's switch. This was a telepone pole con- taining one of their boxes of cables, and it was twice set on fire. Thought Church on Fire. In the midst of the heavy rain telephone call from Bath street semt the aifto chemical out for a supposed fire in RBroadway Congregational church. The firemen ran a line of hose with chemical up the tower to the roof, but found no fire. The spray at a certain corner gave something of the appearance of smoke to ont looking from a distance. Plainfield Cut Off. Fvery telephone wire into Plainfield was put out of service by the terrific elegtric, storm of Thursday afternoon, and no’ communication by wire could e had with the place Thursday night. 1t was learned, however from Daniel- son men who were there during the storm that the lightning was Some- thing territying. Firemen Struck on Engine. While standing on the tender of & locomotive that was taking water at the station the fireman of a Providence bound train was knocked unconscious when a flash of lightning shot down. He was taken to the station and Te- vived after a time, pluckily going back to his locomotive, though he was in a very shaky condiotion. The cause of the failure of the wire service could not be learned Thursday night. Anoth- er cltizen of Plainfield also received a |'slight shock of electricity. While the lightning Was as severs as any ever seen in Plainfleld, the rainfall was pot | heavy. TROLLEY SURVEY FOR HIGH TENSION LINE. Power Stations at Thamesville and New London to be Conneoted. Under the direction of engineers from New Haven, it is stated that a survey- s, being' made- between, this city and New London for a high' ten- sion line connecting the Comnnecticut company’s power station at Thames- ville with the power station in New London. The work of laying out the course for the new line was started this week. The high tension line will connect the two cities just as the local station is now connected with the power sup- ply of the' Putnam lines. It will be one of the last steps in completing the unification of the system of power supply of thestrolley lines, a system that will allow power to be sent from one part of the trolley road to another part where there is need of help, as in the case of a breakdown or damage by storm, as was the case in Norwich a month ago. The current is sent over the high tension line at a very high voltage, with no loss of very little power, and is changed from aiternat- ing to direct current ut the receiving end and stepped down to the voltage of 550 used by the troliey cars, FUNERAL.

The com- linemen were sent over as soon ble and they got the wires up out of the street and the cars were running as usual in the evening. There were no others overhead damages (o the trolley system. and no washouts by the heavy downpour. Two cars on the Yantic line were burned out and .got to the square us- ing the hand brakes. At the height of the storm the trol- ley company took the precautionary measure of shutting down the Thames ville power plant the road up for a short time rather than run the risk of getting burned out. ’ In the yard at the home of Mr. and Mrs, Thomas Buckley on Penobscot street, East Side, a crabapple tree was lling over into the street had to be cut up by the ¢ that it Easy Aids"to Good Looks (Elia Ellis in the Arch) “After motorin, may be dusty. ing the hea will find a dry shampoo a good friend, Put four ounces of powdered orris roof ln w it far, add an original package of therox and mix together, rinkle a little on the head and brush through the halr, Therox removes dust, oll and dandruff, and leaves the hair light, llyn'y and easy to do ul “Distiguring wild hairs can be made to vanigh qulekly from face or fore- arms by applyl delatone paste, made by mixing po: ed delatons with wuter, Cover (he huiry surfuce with this pusie u minute or two, then remove, wash the skin, and the halrs will be gone, “Short and thin eyel Trom otherwise besutitul eyes.

James E. Fuller. The death of James E. Fuller, one of the best known fire insurance agents of this section, occurred Thurs- day evening between 11 and 12 o'clock at the Backus Tospital, where he had been for a considerable period, having been a safferer with rheumatism, with complications. His illness caused his retirement from active business some time ago. From his long connection with in- ~ \JAMES E, FULLER. surance matters in this section of the state, he was widely known in New London and Windham counties and held in respect by those with whom he had had business dealings. When the call for volunteers came in 1861, Mr. Fuller enlisted in the Har- land rifies, one of the companies of the Eleventh Connecticut Volunteer In- fantry. He enlisted as sergeant on October 1861, and was promoted | licutenant November 11, 1864. The| regiment did service in the Burnside | expedition and also in the battles of Antietam, Cold Harbor and before Pe- tersburg. Mr. Fuller ig survived by his wife, on. Edwaj Fuller, and three daughters, Mrs. Charlotte Fuller East- man, Louise and Margaret W. Fuller. Short Hours Because of Heat. Becaues of the heat on Thursday the employes at Hopkins & Allen Arms Co. were notified that they would work | only until 3 o'clock after dinner, but | when the storm came up and the air cooled off a little the men were taid they could stay till the regular time to quit. The men in the stock room, | however, knocked off at 3 o'clock for | the day. About that time the fire gong on the Franklin street end of the building was ringing, which it was said was due to a sprinkler head having let go be- cause of the intense heat in one of | the rooms of the building. This re- | leased the gong. The sprinklers are | set ta release at about 110 degres. The gong also rang in the morning wWhen a sprinkler let go.
