Pretty Rumanc EndWesterly Youthful Members of Old English Families Meet in This Country and Wedding Will Soon Result—Plans For a Bigger, Better North Stonington Fair—Change in Fire District Boundary Creates Stir—Sunday’s Lightning Vorked Violence. . That unusually heavy rainfall of Suhday afternoon had an accompani- ment of a trio of violent lightning fiashes and crashing thunder jolts that did some damage in Westerly and vi- cinity. Lightning struck the house of Frank Murano in Tower street, tore off a pathway of shingles and shook the whole structure, smashing dishes and other fragile household furnish- ings. Benjamin Murano, a brother of Frank, was stunned and was uncon- scious for quite a while, He was at- tended by Dr. John Champlin and it is not believed there will be serious re- sult. The same lightning bolt flashed out into the yard, killing a hog in the pen and several fowl in an adjacent ©oop. The lghtning also struck the resi- dence of Charles Partelo, located in Ashaway, not far from the Hopkinton City line. The bolt struck and shat- tered the chimney, tore off a section of the roof and shot through the par- lor, where four persons were seated, bat who escaped injury. A large mir- ror and some dishes were smashed and some of the furniture broken. This is the second time that lightning has been an unwelcome visitor at this house, The home of Wiliam Brown in North Stonington was also struck by lightning with considerable damage. The lightning came into the house by the telephone wire route and the telephone instrument was smashed to smithereens. There was no other dam- age of consequence. The North Stonington Grange has sifeady commenced planning for the third annual fair and they expect to make it even more successful than the two which it will succeed. The first was given as an experiment and the encouragement received has placed this to be an annual event beyond the experimental stage and it is predicted that those of the future will be even more profitable than those of the past, s there is to be material increase in attractions. The grange has purchased from the profits of these fairs a tract of land, which is conveniently near the trolley line, right in the village, and which is peculiarly adapted for hold- ing the falr and at the same time pro- ductive of profit as a woodland, as the holding is quite extensive. There is a dwelling house on the property that can be utilized as an ad- ministration building and new build- ings are to be erected for fair pur- poses to be used In substitution for some of the tents and temporary build- ings for display of products, stock and general axhibits, It is conceded that some of the exhibits at this fair are superior to those that are seen at more pretentious fairs in Rhode Island and Connecticut. The North Stonington fair is of the real old-fashioned country kind with- out any ,of the cityfied, new fangled notiong or frills, where fdrmers vie with each other in horses, stock and | cattle and farm products, and where | housewiyes make display of needle- work, art, work, preserves and cake and bread, ahd where famly heirlooms of great age are displayed for public in- spection. “There is no horse racing, vaudeville or faking. The fair, in ad- dition to the exhibits and competition for prizes in many classes, serves as a sort of annual reunion of old ac- quaintances from’ far and near, and where there is more amusement for the city folk than is ever seen on cir- cus day outside of the big tent. et There will be a wedding; with just a tinge of romance in Westerly next Monday, at one of the finest residences in the town, when the sumptuous en- tertainers will give a cheerful tingle to the traditional wedding bell. This is a brfef outline of the romance. A few years ago, a young lady and Xoung gentleman, strangers to each other, came to the United States from Eng- land, both descendants of prominent families in the old world. The young lady’s mother died soon after her ar- rival and she was left without a rela- tive in this country. The young man was also without a relative in the United States. The young couple be- came acquainted a year of more ago and the acquaintanceship developed into betrothal. It so happened that the Westerly lady and gentleman, at whose home the marriage ceremony is to be per- formed, were acquainted with the young couple and the circumstances, and the Westerly mansion was’ placed at their disposal for the wedding. The invitation was accepted and special preparations are being made for the marital event. Miss Jane Howard, for two years employed as a weaver at the White Rock mill, but who has been unable to work for the past four months on ac- count of sickness, died Sunday night at the home of her aunt, Mrs. Mary Gill, at White Rock. She was twenty- three years of age and daughter of George H. and the late Mary Coleman- Howard of Norwich. Mi Howard was born in Norwich and besides her s surviveq by two brothers and who reside in White Rock ter who lives in Worces- Rheumatism is relieved by Sulphur Water Baths which can be quickly, conven- iently and cheaply made with warm water and Glenn’s Sulphur Soap Excellent also for skin diseases and to induce sleep when rest- less and wakeful. All druggists. Moderator Frank Larkin presided at the annual meeting of the Westerly Fire District and Judge John W. Sweeney was chosen secretary pro | tem in the absence of Secretary George N. Burdick. Officers for the ensuing year were elected as follows: A. L. Dickinson, moderator; Horace E. Bur- dick, treasurer; George ) Burdick, secretary and- collector; Palmer Chapman, assessor hen W, Col- lins, chief engi mund P. York, second enginee es B. Thomas, third engineer; ) Pope, Syms and S, H, Davis, audito; Mr. Larkin declined renomination for moderator and was elected to the park commis- sion for a term of twe years. The re- ports of the various officers were re- celved and approved. The park com- miseioners reported -that the widening of a portion of Bay street wiil be com- pleted in the near future. The sum of $500 was appropriated for the use of the commission during the ensuing year. A communication was read from Mrs. C. A. Griscom expressing appre- colation of the services cf the fire dis- triet at the recent fire at the Griscom and Whisker Dye, black or b=own, 50c cottage, Quite a stir was made when it was | | | dlscovered that changes had been retly made in the district boundary by someone at the last session of ‘the general assembly, in order to escape taxation.” It was Voted to bring sult against the members of the district who have attempted to-exempt them- gelves from taxation, and it was also voted to retain Judge John W. Swee- ney as counsel for the district, .~ A committee was appointed {o con- fer with the Westerly town council with reference to improve designated highways in the Watch Hill dimrlfi. Pete Clemens, of Westerly, outfield- er of the Lowell team of the New Eng- land league, is the first player of that league to reach the century mark in batting for the season of 1912. He made his even one hundredth hit for the week, which "closed Thursday night. He has played in 73 games and has been to bat 295 times. In that time he has also scored sixty runs and leads the league in stolen bases, Clemens was traded to Lowell by Haverhill early in the season, and judging from his work with stick and in the field and on the base paths, The Loweil team is winner in the trade. Pete is batting at a 339 average. Local Laconics. The 5 was precipitation of 1.25 inches during the rainfall of Sunday. Harry Thompson has ended his service with the Lorraine company and entered the amplgy of the New York New Haven & Hdrtford rajlroad com- pany, succeeding Irving Champlin as checking clerk. Mr. Champlin has been promoted to be car placer. Supervisor McQuilkin was in con- sultation Monday with the highway committees, the trustees of the Memo- rial and Library association, and with Postmaster Charles J. Butler and Civil Engineer Woodward, in regard to the grade of the property surrounding the site for the new post office buflding. The supervisor desires to make sure that all is right befors going ahead. It is understood that all matters will be amicably arranged.

The com- psoition of the board of arbitration is the same as two years ago, when a small increase of wages was given the men, The men ask an advance to cents an hour, flat rate, and pay and a half for overtime, as compared with the present schedule which ranges | from 21 3-4 cents an hour for the first vear up to 27 -cents an hour in the sixth year and thereafter, with five ents an hour extra for overtime, | company has already agreed with the | divisions in Connecticut outside of .the New Haven division on a schedule which ranges from 22 cents an hour the first year to 27 cents an hour in the sixth year and thereafter a sched- ule which is now in force, with five cents an hour for overtime, sweeper and salt car work.
