It looked to those who saw the ac- cident as if he must surely go under the wheels, but with the agility of his college days, when Rev. Lord was accounted one of the best football centers in the east, he sprang up onto the left fender of the machine, and rolled off clear into the center of the street, striking on his feet, and keep- ing ‘on across the street as if nothing had happened. A broken umbrella and a cut on his left hand were the only injuries he sustained. No blame attaches to the driver of the machine, who was not going at an unreasonable rate of speed, but the ac- cident was largely made possible by the driving rain and bad weather con- ditions. Rev. Lord's escape was con- sidered most extraordinary by all avho witnessed the affair, as he was struck with considerable force, and carried some twenty feet or more on the ma- chine before it could be brought to a stop. Camping at Columbia Lake. Two dozen of the troop of Boy Scouts of South Manchester arrived at Columbia Lake Wednesday for a week's stay, under the charge of Com- missioner Austin Cheney and Scout- master Jesse Edwards.

There is a certain amount of routine business to be dis- posed of and one or two special mat- ters to receive consideration. The present board has exercised unusual effort to cut expenses wherever possi- ble, and has been successtul, achieving some very satisfactory resuits, thoush this is not to be taken as indicating that the schools haven't cost anythi during the past fiscal year. The bos has been as economical as possible in every department of its work. NEW POSTMASTER IN OFFICE. Patrick Riley, Recently Appointed by President, Succeeds W. F. Bidwell.

CORN BEATEN FLAT. Storm Plays Havec with Growing Crops and Knocks Trains Off Sched- ule. Putnam, in’ common with all of eastern Connecticut, was drenched, soaked and on,the verge of beins drowned out by the storm of Wednes- day. The effects of the young deulge were not generally advantageous; in fact, they were more or less disas- trous. Throughout all of the towns In this section it is estimated that 30 per cent. of the growing corn is lying fiat this morning, beaten down by the gale and heavy rain of Wednesday's storm. Much of it admittedly will never stand erect agaln, but what percentage cannot be accurately estimated. Po- tato flelds were submerged under the little lakes of water that accumulated and damage to this crop is also taken for granted by many of the farmers. The corn crop seems to be the worst hit. however, and the losses upon it wiil undoubtedly be heavy. The storm not only played havoc with growing things, but as well with things that are chiefly under the di- rection of man. Floods in the vicinity of Boston delayed the arrival here of the afternoon express from that city an hour and three-quarters. Other trains were also knocked off schedule by the storm and ies attendant trou- bles. There was a washout on the main lne of the Midland division near Pomfret. A work train was out from this city to take care of this difficulty. Section crews from this station were aboard the train, which includes a car of cin- ders in its makeup, and another sec- tion crew was taken on at Pomfret. The washout was not sufficlertly se- rious to hold up trains, one dve here about 4 o'clock from Hartford coming through about a half hour late. Trainmen had a dismal day of it The freight crews caught the worst of the storm, but the passenger train crews were not exempt, a_number in this service getting drenched in the heavy showers. . CIRCULATING PETITION. Mansfield Hose Company Want Reim- bursement for Investment in Truck. Mansfield Hose company, No. 3, an organization that was very prominent in the city department before the re- organization and _consolidation of members of different units into Chem- ical company No. 4—the crew of the auto chemical—are circulating among the business men of the city a peti- tion subscriptions to reimburse them {n some degree for the company’s investment ‘of several hundred dollars in the Mansfleld company’s truck, the harnesses that go with it and certain equipment. It was stated Wednesday afterncon that the business men ap- proached are responding liberally t the project and that it seems likely that the company may succeed in raising the $300 they hope to get for their property. ‘The money that/pald for the truck and harmesses was raised by the Mansfleld company Years ago when that organization felt that the city sbould have eume tmproved fre de- partment equipment. big cost, it is stdted, between 3600 and $700, this sum being secured by giving entertain- ments, by subscription and otherwise. ville, the parcel post and the postal sdvings department.

The members of the old company have felt, however, that they should get something out of their investment, so have appealed to the business men. What the business men will do with the truck after they get it is not stated, but it is presumed they will turn it over to the city, to which it will be of value undoubtedly in the future. The truck and its equipment, all in good condition, is at the Central fire station. HOSPITAL GETS LUNG MOTOR FUND Woodstock Residents Present Institu- tion $135 by Popular Subscription.
