Danielson experienced its worst electrical storm of the season Friday morning as a prelude to the first real rainy day in many weeks.

Notwithstanding that the lightning was so severe and that it found sev- eral marks, there was little damage.

Four cars of the Connecticut lines, three open and one closed car, were pui out of ser- vice by the lightning and telephone service was so crippled that many lines were out of commission during all of the day.

Lippitt, et al, vs. the Windham County Sevings bank of Danielson, a complaint for the ap- pointment of a receiver for the insti- tution on Monday, September 22. Attorney Ralph O. Wells, Hartford, representing the bank commissioners of the state in the actlon, was in court and called the attention of Judge Hol- comb to the fact that the case was a privileged one and the desire was to try it as soon as possible. It was un- derstood when the matter was before Judge Tuttle, Attorney Wells sald, that there would be a trial of the case at this (September) term of the Wind- ham county superior court. Judge Harry E. Back, Danielson, one of the attorneys for the bank ,also said to the court that they did not wish the case to go by this term. More Than “About a Day.” Judge olcomb inquired how long would be Fequired to try the case. At- torney Wells said he thought ‘‘about a day.” Judge Back immediately stated, in response to this, that he thought at least thrée or four days would be required for the case. Judge Holcomb inquired if the case involved an examination of the asgets of the bank. To this Attorney Wells said “No, your honor,” but Judge Back answered the gquestion in the affirma- tive, saying “They have alleged that the bank is insolvent;” Attorney Searls, also counsel for the bank, thought that a whole week might be required for the trial. Judge Holcomb assigned the trlal to commencde on Monday, September 22, May Examine Books. Another matter in connection with the bank case was the motion of the afitomaya ffor the bank ocommissioners for privilege of examining ‘the books of the institution. Attornéy Walls statéd to the court that Judge Back, for the hank, had agreed to this, Judge Back stated to the court that the bank | attorneys were perfectly willing that thé bank commissioners or any of their agents have a right to examine the bank's hooks at any time and further stated ‘‘We. have never refused them the priviléege” The meotion was al- lowed. Fournier Uncontested Divorce Case. Of the two uncontested divorce cases listed fot trial at PFriday’'s session of the court only one was heard, that of Margaret Fournier of Willimantic, vs. George J.

Wil- liams in West Woodstock, where he is employed to the rallroad station at Abington during the storm of Fri- day morning Henry Creape of Phoe- nixville was seriously injured. The horse became frightenéd and ran away when lightning shattered a tree beside the road and close to where Creape was driving. The horse fell down and threw Creape from the vehicle, the animal in its struggle to be free kicking out, striking Creape in the left leg and causing a compound, fracture of the knee cap. ~ Creape was attended by Dr. Joseph S ing, who ordered him sent to.the Kimball hospital, where he was brought during the afternoon by Mr. Williams. The accident in which Creape fig- ured was responsible for the report current in Putnam Friday morning to the effect that a man had been kill. ed by lightning in the town of Woo stock, in which the storm was’ v severe, some of the residents in the Valley section describing it as dread- ful and the worst of the summer sea- son. Near the Willlam Herrinden place in Woodstock .Valley the light- ning was very severe and occupants of the house were certain that some of the bufldings would be struck.

Earthquake sounds are described as variations of heavy rumbling, so low in piteh as almost to be more felt than heard (in many ceses inaudible to persons who are deaf to very low tones), and belonging to one or another of the following types: The passing of wagons, thunder, wind, the fall of a load of stones, the fall of a heavy body, an explosion or some other mis- cellaneous sound. In strong earth- quakes the sound area occupies a cent- ral reglon (on an average two-thirds) of the disturbed region: in moderate earthquakes the tOw areas are approxi- mately of the same magnitude; while in mmany slight earthquakes the sound areais larger than the disturbed area. As a rule the beginning of the sound precedes the shock, and the end of the sound follows the end of the shock. According to statisties just published Berlin appears to be an extraordinary healthful place for the aged. who live there in remarkably largé. numbers. A feature of the figures is the much greater, number of old women in pro- portion. to old men, and with every decade above 70 the: proportion in- creases astonishingly. In Berlin the number of men between 70 and 80 is 12,898. while the number of women is 26,204. For Greater Berlin the fig- ures are 20,049 and 37,520 respectively.
