A red leiter day in the annals of the Twenty-sixth Connecticut Volun- teers the 21st of August is always, and so it came about that on Friday there was a glorious gathering of the vet- erans, their 51si, at the Buckingham Memo; with a rather large repre- sentation of the regimental association in spite of the weather conditions that mean more today than half a century ago when they -were subjected to the evening dews and damps of the southern battleflelds. ~ Yet those ‘who could get there were just. as spirited and enthusiastic and the ardor of the occasion was not diminished by rain or other inclemencies It was a time for reminiscences and renewal- of friendships and as such the hours of the reunion were utilized to the full. Acting.President John D. Noland, of New London called the meeting to order with the statement that he was thankul he had lived to see another reunion, Loyalty, fraternity and char- ity he said are things to keep a man young.and make his last days his best days. Corresponding Secretary Married. Secretary N. Douglass Sevin of this city presented his interesting report, which showed that 60 members at- tended a yvear ago. He reported that Benjamin F. Gates, the former cor- responding secretary, had taken unto himself a wife since the last reunion and had left New London to make his Bome in Baltimore, thereupon resign- ing his office. Consequently Mr. Sevin had to perform the duties of that office also, which the veterans find he has done admirably, sending out notices of the reunion and making other ar- rangements. ~ Treasurer Sevin’s Report. In his report as treasurer. Mr. Sevin stated that he started the year with $173.79 and that after paying for the reunion badges and other things on the expense side and receiving col- lections and intterest on the credit, he had a balance of $161.66. The monument fund now amounts to $346.- Mortuary List. This mortuary list of ten in the year was read by the secretary; indicating the companies to which the deceased Dbelonged: G—Judah L.

Banta, died in Black Hall, on July 15, 1914, in Annual Reunion Well Attended at Buckingham Memori- | John Letters From Several Comrades. _Interestifiy letters were read from William F. Eccleston, ex-president of the association, who is now in Cleve- land, from George H, Fuller of Wich- ita, Kansas, and from Comrade Briggs of Columbia. Comrades Packer, Beckwith and Haskell were named a committee by President Noland to bring in a list of officers for the coming year. In the interim Mayor Murphy was presented and he brought a warm wel- come to the veterans from the city of Norwich. He conveyed to them the sense of appreciation of their heroic|f history which still inspires the breasts of their descendants. Officers Elected. Comrades G. A. Hammond of Put- nam, George Brayton of Stonington, L. O. Smith of this city, were among those who brought back the old days before the nominating committee came in with this list of officers who were duly electe: President—John S Noland, of London = Vice President—Robert B Gordon of Lyme; Horace A Burdick, of North Stonington, A. Conkiin of Danbury, Chaplain—Rev. H. G. Gay of Read- ing, Mass. N Secretary and Treasurer—. lass Sevin of Norwich. Corresponding Secretary—Beriah B Champlin of New Haven. Mr. Sevin was thanked for his ser- vices in the past. Comrade L. O. Smith, appointed by the president to take the collection, gathered $8.25 from the veterans. Then Charles Patterson of Carolina spoke of the dread European war and prayed for speedy peace and W. F. Gates of Lebanon, paid a glowing tri- bute to the regiment,” which he said, lacks self-assertiveness, for it did just as much as any regiment, and lost as many men by war and pestilence as any of them. It is a regiment to beI New . Doug- proud of and its praises should be sune. Comrade Patterson urged that the deaths of the veterans be printed in the National Tribune and he said he would pay for it. Presi@ent Nolan recounted his ex- perlence of meeting Lincoln and his secretary Seward, on the field after the first battle of Bull Run. The president took off his hat and urged the soldiers to keep steadfast in spite of defeat then sustained. God raised such a man for that time and he stood boldly to%his work. In the Civ- il war a Confederate sergeant said if the southern soldiers knew the northern men were so good there would be less southerners in the army. He told of getting the new regi- mental flag in the war and after- wards seein gwhat was left of it on battleflag day in Hartford.. e S. Stetson, said he got out of a sick bed to greet his old comrades and it him good to see them. He was applauded for his display of spirit. Then- the veterans sang America and proceded to enjoy the fine spread served by the Woman's Relief Corps. A soetal time followed the dinner. C. J. BALDWIN’S HOUSE STRUCK BY LIGHTNING Came "in by Telephone Wire—Two Trolley Cars Burned Out. On Friday afternoon the weather repeated its performance of the day before by furnishing a sudden thunder shower about 2 o'clock with raln in torrents for a short time, folowea by intermittent showers for the rest of the afterncon and evening. No dam- age of serious nature from either rain, wing or lightning was reported, but there were some unpleasant accom- paniments of the storm. Lightning struck the house of ‘Charles J. Baldwin, off the rear of No. 151 Maple street, coming down the side of the house and in by the tele- phone wire. All this telephone line was burned out and the electricity al- so shot over from the house isto the barn where is burned off an electric light bulb which was hanging over an automobile, but did not damage the car, nor set the barn or house on fire. It was said by a man who saw the bolt that it also entered a pile of rocks at some distance away frem the house and barn sending out a shower of sparks that exceeded any Fourth of July celebration ever dreamed of. The trolley company suffereq by having two cars struck by lightning, one at Jewett City at 3:09 o’clock and the other at South Windham at 3:40. Both were burned out and other cars had to be sent out to take their places on the runs. In Franklin street between Willow and Bath the gutter on the southerly side of the street carried a big volume of water that spread in a solid sheet almost out to the trolley tracks, and when it reached Bath street in its downward flow spread out a couple of inches deep across from curb to curb. Brought down by the storm a large limb fell about 6 o'clock with a loud crash from a tree of No. 55 Franklin street. Pieces from the limb broke through a skylight and came into the building occupied for storage by A. Bruckner, dealer in second hand fur- niture. The building is owned by W. H. Oat. , A colored man who was nearby and heard the crash declared that he was 8o scared he “turned as white as a sheet.” ‘The city electric light plant had touble on some circuits in different parts of the city, but none at the sta- tion on North Main street. The elephone company also escaped both on Thursday and Friday with a minimum amount of trouble, but what there was made a good number of calls for the repair men in the city and surrounding country. Calgary has 59 miles of municipally- opergted street rallway tracks. ‘Ohildren Ory FOR FLETCKER'S CASTORIA did without it STORM WAS SEVERE IN NEW YORK CITY. One Death Occurred in Panic Among 2,000 Bathers—Four Lives Lost. New York, Aug. 21.—For nearly half an hear this afternoon New York was dark as night while it was visited by one of the severest electrical storms in its history. One death in a panic among 2,000 bathers in_ a pavilion struck by lightning, and injury to seven persons caught in the path of a spectacylar Broadway runaway sums up the known casualties from the storm. It brought relief from the in- tense heat, the temperature dropping from 87 to 77 degrees. At 3.30 o'clock the northwest winds had marshalled clouds of inky dark- ness, causing lights to appear in the street cars, elevated trains, office buildings and homes. An instant later came flashes of lightning and rattle of ,thunder followed by the downpour of rain. The wind blew fifty miles an hour. The local weather bureau said that since its establishment 'no storm had plunged New York such intense darkness. Louis Sen, a Chinese farmer was killed by a bolt while working in a field at Astoria, Long Island. Other Chinese members of the colony ran in terror, Warning of the storm’'s approach sent 2,000 bathers into a pavilion at Brighton Beach a few minutes before lightning struck the place, putting the lighting _apparatus out of condition. Some one cried “Fire” and in the re- sult in the rush many women fainted. The driver of a delivery wagon lost control when the horse took fright at a clap of thunder in Union Square and dashed through scurrying throngs sev- eral blocks down Broadway to Astor Place, leaving in its wake seven more or_less seriously injured. Before the storm a baby girl died from the heat in the arms of her mother in Brooklyn while she was tak- ing her to physician. In all five per- sons lost their lives. e s BRITISH FLEET AT ESQUIMAULT STATION. Has Been increased By Two Ships— One is Said to Be French Cruiser.
