Officer A | ganes ELECTRC STORM TS CTY WARD Blinding flashes of lightning, crashing Deals of thunder and rain in almost solid sheets were accompaniments of a storm that hit Norwich Saturday night about 9:45 o'clock and plunged the business and residence sections of the city into darkness for from 30 to 45 minutes. Lightning struck in several places in the city and branches were twisted from trees in several places, but so far as had been reported up to Sunday night the dam- age was surprisingly small for the se- Verity of the storm. It was reported that lightning had killed a horse and a cow _on the so- called Spicer piace on the Preston City road. which was the most serious dam- age that was learned of. ‘The storm seemed to come from the southwest, sending advance notice in vivid flashes of lightning, followed by dis- tant rolls of thunder that rapidly srew 10 the deafening crashes of nearby ar- tillery as the storm center settled over the city. The lightning was incessant and every jagged tongue of white light that cut the inky blackness of the sky was foliowed by a splitting crash of thunder that seemed to shake the city, while the rain beat against the windows as if the clouds were empiying whole pail- fuls at once. In the midst of ome of the terrific peals of thunder in the early part of the storm, house and store lights Al over the city went out, and in some sections the street lights as well. However, Superintendent C. B. Taggart said Sunday pight they L no equip- ment at the city electric light plant. dozen cr more house services in different parts of the city were burned out. switches on all the circuits were thrown on again as soon as it was considered advisable to do so. Sunday the repair of the city plaint were out restor- ing the service where hogse circuits had been burned out. Dances in Pulaski hall and in Odd F ol lows hall were broken up when the lights went- out, but the dance in Odd Fellows hall again was resumed in about 45 minutes when the lights came back. Frankiin squave ‘stores lit up candles or turned on gas until they had the electric current again.. Trolley line officials reported that their service as not interrupted enough to lose any trips, but at the height of the storm the water rose so fast in Franklin square in front of the car office that it fooded over ike sidewalk from the sireet. Yet the official measurcnent of the rainfall for all day Saturday made it only 0.72 of an inch. During the storm the telegraph pole located just a few feet north of the cen- tral fire station amd carrying the wires of the fire alarm telegraph system was set on fire. ‘There was practically no damage, however. In spite of the fact jthat the lightning was aboul the worst this year it caused no fires in the city. There were o calls for the fire depart- ment although they Were momentariy ex- pecting a telephone or bell alarm. The lightning played about the fire alarm wires at the central tation throughout the'storm The big bell struck once due to the lightning A chimney was demolished at § Asylum street, the home of the late Roger S. Cowles, where the lightning struck. A tree mear the Broad street school wak struck by the lightning and a big section was torn off a tree cn Washington street and compietely biocKing it until the fall- en branches had been removed by the streetd epartment. The limb of a tree in front of the home of Rev. Dr. S. H. Howe on Williams avenue was blown into the street. The telephone company rcported that they suffered no .more than was to be expected from such a storm, having a number of lines put out of commission in different parts of the city. OLD TORRENT WAS FEATURE IN MANCHESTER PARADE The Norwich fire deparfment w well represénted at the firemen’s mus at Manchester Saturda: those who made the trip were Deputy Chief Henry R. Taft, Captain Alvin D. Lewis, and Firemen John Nolan, Pat- rick Brennan, Harry Blackburn, Frank Blinderman, = Walter Huntley. Thi made the trip to and from Manche ter by automobile, leaving in the morn- ing and returning in the evening. Oceupy line of : 1500 marchers was the Old Torrent. one of the oldest fire relics in sta TeTor which W in use in this city in 1789, was drawn by 'black and driven by an old man and w immediately behind the marshsl ind his twelve aides rent and its driver received an ovation all along the line of march. Accompa nying the Torrent was a bucket bri- gade of boy scouts, carrying oldtime fire buckets owned by Chief H. L. Stanton of this city. The Yantic fire department was re- presented at the muster by a big de- legation. They took along the old time hand pump and took part in the big pumping contest. There was also a big delegation from the New London de- partment. It was estimated that 20,000 persons witnessed the big parade and the var- ious contests STATE TAKING MEASURES TO PROTECT THE BABIES Under directions from Governor Lake this departmeny, will give prefer- ance, in the herds tubercuiin tests, to herds of cattle producing milk for the markets” Jam. M. Whittles missioner on domestic animals o urday, commenting on the [ ¢ that many applications had beem rece.yed for the state tuberculin test under the $140,- 000 appropriation granted by the gen- eral assembly for the cradication of bo- vine tuberculosis. “This is a_commendable po missioner Whittlesey continued. it nvolves a question of public health The tubercuoisis eradication policy was pushed before the legis 3 health officials and organizations. 1t is essential that cattle furnishing market milk be treated firs in order that the health of the babies may be safe-guard- Sat- y.” Com- s Commissioner Whittle said that while he was away at the convention of the American Veterinary Medical Asso- ciation numerous applications were re- ceived from farmers all over the state wishing to have the departmint proceed to test ‘their cattle. Commissioner missioner Whittlesey pointed out that while it was in the interests of the live stock industry to have pure bred eattle the interests of public healta demanded that market milk producing cattle be at- tneded to first. Commissioner Whittlesey pointed out that during August, 1,086 native cattle were tuberculin tested, of which number 304 or 28 per .cent. were condemned. While forty-seven cattle were placed in quarantine, 257 cattle were killed. Dur- ing the month no herds were added to the accredited free from tuberculosis list, Twelve herds comprising 261 head of cattle were tested without reactors, Ten herds were officially tuberculin tested and all reactors removed, this being a showing of 36 per cent Sixty-five and thirty permits respec- tively were issued in August for import- ing for dairy, breeding and slaughtering, the number of cattle for breeding being 516 and for slaughter (51. cattle were re-tested, thirieen reacting to the test and thirteen being placed in quarantine. Five native horses were tested for glanders in August, none reacting. On thirty-two permits issued 200 horses were imported, of which 150 Wwere test- ed in this state. EFFOTS TO GET DOG RESTRICTIONS MODIFIED FAILED While voicing his feeling as heing con- siderably in sympathy with some who have expressed -their dissatisfaction with some of the dog restrictions, a local at- torney called attention on Sunday to the fact that the dog warden is only fol- lowing the instructions of the commis- sioner of domestic animals at Hartford } Who has entire authority in the matter. Concerning the idea of securing a mod- ification of the restrictions the same at- torney declared that to h¥s knowledge ef- forts had been made to secure some mod- ifications of the requirements but that they had not met with succes: The commissioner of domestic animals was not disposed to listen to anything of the kind. e Eagi Lyme Citizens' Party The citizens' party o #he town of East Lyme has nominated the following candidates: assessor, Horace L Smith; board of relief Walter L.

M. C. A. Sunday afternoon was well Among| attended. After the singing of several { popular hymns and the reading of the | scripture "lesson from Deuteronomy 28th chapter, prayer was offered. Secretary Edwin Hill led the meeting in the discussion of the topic Labor {and Capital. Among the points brought jout were the following: that the duty of the employed is to remember that t 4 machine and the opin- ion was expressed that the vast ma- | dority of employers recognize this. That jan employe is human and 4s a ruie ir dness, although it oc- responds lo {c: seems necessary to use | strong mcthods in order to get a man | The Tor- | to perform his duty. That the empioy- | vic et should encourage the employe 1o initiate something and that the employ- er must recognize that the most im- portant factor of industry is the hu- may factor. Under the head of the duty of la- bor the following points were empha- sized: that the employe must remem- ber that capital takes big risks, that large amounts of money are tied up in factories, that a man who works with his brain is just as much a la- boring man- as he who works with his hands and that brain work is much more wearing than musecle work. That the owner, boss or foreman has much | lAm(nca. is much better off than the J?S[ as bad as stealing, for the em- | ploye is stealing time. The happiest man is not necessarily the rich man. To the question how can both sides be made to see the point? it was stat- €d that each must get the view of the other and this can only be done by the application of the Golden Rule. This and this alone can solve the pro- blems of capital and labor. This rule lived out will solve any and all pro- l»_l@ms of the individual and of the na- tion. Following the meeting there was social hour and light were served. 1 | a refreshments FUNERA Robert Williams.
