John Coleman is laid up at his home
on St. John avenue, East Norwalk,
with a broken leg and a severe con-
tusion on his forehead both caused by
a Tramway car.
The accident occurred about 9 o’clock
last Sunday at a point about half way
between Attorney V'Valsh’s house and
the terminus of the Tramway line, and
was caused by a well loaded car closely
followed by another car, both bound
for the Point.
It is stated that the car ran two or
three hundred feet before it was
stopped and that the motorman was
not aware that anyone had been struck
until his attention was called to the
fact by Benjamin Reed who occupied. a
front seat on the car. .
When the car was stopped, the con-
ductor went back and found Mr. Cole-
man lying in a semi-conscious condi-
tion alongside of the tracks, with his
wife and two children near by.
A conveyance was furnished by
Landlord O’Sullivan and the injured
man taken to his home and Dr. Baker
summoned, who dressed the wound on
the head and reduced the leg fracture.
Just how the accident occurred is
not positively known, but it is alleged
that Coleman, leaving his wife and
children some distance away, went
towards the approaching car for the
purpose of hailing it to stop.
The motorman whether he saw such
signal or not did not stop the car, and
it is thought that Coleman attempted
to board the same or misjudged the
distance, in the dark, between himself
and the car tracks.
Evidently one of the side handles on
the car struck him on the head about
the same time that the running board
struck him on the leg.,
A full investigation of the acciden
will be, made and the blame placed
where. it belongs.
About 6.30 o’clock Saturday evening
a trolley car was .leaving Westport
with a good number of passengers
aboard and the conductor was collect-
ing the fares. When the next to the
last seat was reached a man who was
seated there refused to pay his fare and
used much profane language. He
finally paid his fare, but did not cease
his abuse of the conductor and his talk
became worse than ever. Deputy
Sheriff Kemper of Westport, who was
aboard, stopped the car and placed the
fellow, who was a burly farmer of
foreign birth, under arrest. He re-
fused to accompany the officer and a
fight ensued. The, fellow kicked,
punched and bit. The conductor and
motorman took a hand in the alfray
and handcuffs were slipped over the
ruffian’s'wrists after a scrimmage of
several minutes’ duration and he was
ta {en back to VVestport on the next
car, having to be lifted aboard. The
fellow, whose rage was at a white heat,
fought with feet and teeth all the trip
and was carried bodily to the VVestport
lockup. . .
Saving a human life rather than win—
ning a $50 trophy was the impulse that
controlled Skipper Jennings, the Cor-
inthian sailing master ofF.T.Bedford’s
matchless catboat Wanda of the N or-
walk Yacht club in the annual regatta
of tneIndianHarborYacht clubSaturday
afternoon. The Wanda was beaten by
George Freeth’s flyer Qui Vive, but a
wreath of laural is due to her Captain
and his associates for reaching the crew
of last year’s champion catboat Vol-
sung. The latter capsized during the
storm on the seCOnd round of the course
off the gas buoy that marks the shoal
water to the north east of Great
Captain’s Island.
The Racing Committee of the Yacht
club, however, has declared the race
off and the \Vanda will have another
chance to sail the Qui Vive.
Dr. H. C. Eno’s fast rater also went
to Indian Harbor to participate in the
races, being towed from Saugatuck by
the Pearl. As the Wind had gone down
when they arrived Dr. Eno gave it up
and started back.
Seeing the storm coming everything
aboard the yacht was made secure, and
Dr. Eno and his party took refuge on
the Pearl. >
When off Roton Point the storm
broke and the yacht capsized, her mast
breaking off some distance above the
deck. The Mabel. Stevens seeing the
Pearl struggling with the overturned
yacht, went to her assistance and towed
the boat to the Wilson Point dock.
From there the Norwalk Yacht club
boys towed the yacht to the beach be-
side the club house and soon pumped
her out, and the Pearl towed her back
to Saugatuck. L '

An electrical storm visited this sec
tion on Saturday afternoon last, and
while it was of short duration, the
lightning flashes were of a destructive
nature and the downfall of rain was
not insignificent. ‘
The day had been replete with a
humid and almost suffocating atmos-
phere. Early in the afternoon the skies
began to darken, and soon after there
was a torrent of rainaccompanied by
flashes of lightning that were blinding.
And the lightning paid its attention
to places hereabouts in a manner that
made the hearts of insurance adjusters
and agents quail with a fear as to the
possible damage it had or was about to
do.
The storm was short and warm, but
decidedly lively while it lasted.“
Among other places to which the
lightning gave vent to its erratic ac-
tion’was the Baxter residence, at the
corner of East and Morgan avenues,
and occupied by George C. Lockwood.
A lightning bolt struck at the base
of the copper lineal on the tower at the
north end of the house and ripped off
the slate shingles on the tower, scat-
tering them broadcast in every direc-
tion. .
It then ploughed its way to the ceiling
of a room below in which Mrs.
Lockwood was resting. on a couch. A
1arge section of plaster was torn off. A
hole vvas torn out of the south side of
the house large enough to insert a
flour barrel. ' .
A portion of the bolt, however, shot i
down the leader pipe and connecting-
the main upon which it spent its fury.
Another portion took advantage of,
an open window and became lost in an
adjoining dooryard. -
A remarkable feature of the visit is 7
that aside from being temporarily
blinded by the flash, Mrs. Lockwood
experienced no ill results.
The damage done it is thought will
not be much-in excess of $200, which is
covered by insurance.
The lightning also struck a corn-shed
at the “Ben” Allen place in Cranbury,
setting fire to the same. The shed is
but a few feet from the house which is
occupied by George E. Bouton who
with a few well directed pails of water
succeeded in putting out the fire. Mrs.
Bouton received a severe shock but
had recovered from the same this
morning. '
A house occupied by Mrs. Frederick
Shaw, at Noroton, was also struck and
considerable damage was done, al'
though the building was not set on
fire.
A bolt of lightning struck and killed
a valuable cow belonging to Jerome
Gainer, the milk dealer. ‘
It also struck and burned to the
ground, with its contents, a large barn
belonging to Mrs. Amzi Pennoyer at
New Canaan.
The storm also made things lively on
the sound, but so far as is learned, no
damage was done to yachts or other
sailing craft.
Francis E. Anderson received a
severe shock at his home onMain street.
Mr. Anderson was engaged in drawing
a pail of water from a faucet, when a
bolt of electricity knocked the pail
from his hand and shattered dishes and
other articles which were close at hand.
He was not injured, though slightly
shocked. o .
Charles Meeker, of Greens ‘Farms,
did not retire until midnight Saturday
night on account of the warm weather
and while he was taking the screens
out of the windows he saw two men
talking on the corner, but did not pay
any attention to them. He thought
they might be men traveling along the
road and had stopped to rest.
About 2:3:‘l Sunday morning Mr.
Meeker was awakened from his peace
ful slumber-s by the barking of his dog,
who was making a great racket. He
called to his son Walter and asked him
what made the dog bark. Walter re-
plied that some one was trying to pry
open the window right under his room.
Mr. Meeker put on a scant attire and
went to investigate. In the bright
m00nlight he saw two men ..running
out of the front gate. Mr. Meeker let
his dog out and when he last saw the
men they were making tracks toward
Southport. Mr. Meeker says the men
were strangers as he could see them
plainly. One was tall and about 40
years old while the other was short
and DGI‘haps only about 16 years old.

London, Aug. 2.—In the House of
Commons yesterday the pa liamentary
secretary of the foreign offl e, Mr. Geo. ’
N. Curzon, answering a question, said ,;
there were no negotiations between

Paris Watering-Place Costume.
A thorough outfit for a season at a
fashionable watering-place requires, in
our climate, to be quite elaborate, for
there must be gowns for cool as well as
hot days. Bule serge is a material
which comes into fashion every year.
Of course there are many different
.weaves of it, as well as different color-
ings, but a blue serge gown is con-
sidered almost a necessity for every
wardrobe. An original design, which
we publish to-day, taken from Harper’s
Bazar, in blue serge from la maison
Weille, is in the bluet shade.
The waist is tight-fitting at the back,
blousingalittle in front. It is made
with a round yoke, which extends to
the sleeve on the shoulders, the yoke of
white mousseline de soie laid in very‘
narrow pleats. Around the yoke the
waist is finished with three narrow
folds of striped taffeta silk, in mauve
and white, put above a straight band

The sleeves are 1, also trimmed

high, with straight turned-over pieces,
and made of the white and mauve taf-
feta silk. A black satin belt makes
the waist look smaller, while a bow of
the striped silk fastens the belt and
givesapretty finish. At the top of
the skirt there is a yoke let in of the
striped silk, while at the foot there is
a band put on in scallops. This is very
effective against the deep blue serge.
The hat worn with this gown is quite
difi'erent in shape from any of the
fashions that have yet been brought
out. It is somewhat like a toque,
made of fancy straw trimmed ‘with
bunches of roses and leaves, and at the
left side are large rosettes of deep blue
velvet.
