Alfred Pardec, aged sizrty, died at The funeral will take place this afternoon at 2 o’clock. The deceased was at the Soldiers’ home yesterday. brother of Judge Egbert Pardec and ‘of Silas‘Pardee of West Haven. The Invasion of Puerto Rico. T. Dart Walker, the artist and war correspondent who accompanied Gen- eral Miles’s expedition to Puerto Rico for Harperfs Weekly writes of the scenes on the transports. He says: “The rank and file were packed as closely as the horses. Their hammocks were new and comfortable. But how much room did they have in which to swing? Just eighteen inches. In the drill regulations of the army the width of a man is estimated at twenty-two inches. It is not pleasant to have four inches of your twenty-two cut off when you are trying to sleep in terrific heat, and the ship rolling in the bargain. The troops on the Roumanian and the City of Washington were simply pack- ed on board, and they suffered some. They didn’t complain. Why should they? Weren’t they going to war, or something resembling itwand why should they expect home or even sea comfoi'ts at such a time? The long de- lay and uncertainty as to starting were over, and discomfort could be endured because of that. The point of view makes a difference in the perspective. “The men on the St. Louis and the St. Paul really had some sea comforts, however. They had room in which to sleep. Then, too, these ships were scrupulously clean—at least, the St. Louis was. Captain Goodrich of the St. Louis is not the kind of a man to tolerate even a. suspicion of dirt. No troop-ship horrors for him ! His com- plete forethought, in. providing all requisite necessaries and in making his ship absolutely wholesome through- out, was much appreciated by all on board. The large deck space on the St. Louis and the St. Paul gave the soldiers comfort. One night proved its advantages. Sleep was impossible in the hot cabins and hotter bunks —well ventilated though the ships were. The second night found hundreds of men on the St. Louis, privates and officers, stretched out in a confused jumble on the spacious decks, all wrapped up in blankets. . Mr. VValker’s picture, taken from Harper’s Weekly. faithfully portrays this scene. ere and there white-clad Sailors picked their ways about silent- ly. The soldiers heeded them not; their fatigue inducing the soundest kind of slumber. Nor did the troops move about much in the daytime. In fact, for three days and three nights each mam seemed to lie in the same place. They Were resting. simply resting; and the fact that, they lay still indicated that. indeed they needed rest “There was littlc sun-sickness on the trip clown—~00 this ship at least. Only abou; a. dozen fever cases were developed, a. fact which reveals the thorough work of Captain Goodrich in making careful preparation of the ves- scl for her human cargo. The days were hot, but the nights were delight- fully cool; and there were no especial incidents, other than those which are common on all military transports, where the men laugh and sing and joke and speculate as to the futurc,and cat and sleep and write home.” ‘v' C l' ‘v Where is Mrs. Webb ? No word has been heard so far of the whereabouts of Mrs. V'Vebb of Noroton, who left her home on Sunday. She was last seen by acquaintances at the South Ncrwalkopot, where she had been driven by a. hackman. .She had her trunks with her at that time and was not accompanied by any person. 3y I-‘ermission. ELEGTRETORM. Another of those electrical storms which have been of such frecqucnt 0c- currence in Norwalk during’the past season put in an appearance yesterday afternoon accompanied by a heavy downpour of rain and a fairly high rate of wind. It followed what has been one of the most depressing days this summer, the atmospheric condition being such as to suggest the taking off of one’s flesh and sitting in your bones. Many people were at the local shore resorts and watched the glowering clouds assemble overhead, with no small amount of apprehension. The storm burst over Norwalk at about 5 o’clock. At no one of the storms this seasou did the electric fluid seem to court such low points for its erratic and startling actions. It played mad pranks with electric wires of all kinds and ricocheted from one track to another on the elect'ric railway lines with an abandon that frightened horses, shocked drivers and flashed the vision of many who stood in doorways and at. open windows. The rain came down in torrents and flooded the streets. last long but during its continuance the lightning did considerable damage here and hereabouts, the greater dam- age being at the home of Mrs. Charles McCarthy wat the corner of Harriett and Ward streets. A bolt struck a corner of the house and ripped a large section of the sid- ing off, and then after cavorting about the interior of the house made for a convenient water hydrant which it de— molished and then ripped up several feet of pipe connecting with the same. Dishes, furniture, etc, were thrown helter—skelter, and the damage done will reach quite a figure. In the house at the time were three young ladies all of whom were more or less'shockcd and one of the number is reported as having been wounded on the head and hands by the flying glass. but all, fortunately escaped serious in- jury. A tall \vllitcwood tree at the rear of the St. .l‘ohn place on Main street was rent in twain by the electric fluid and The stood but a short distance from the the roots doubly twisted. tree house but was not damaged. The gate-tender at the railroad cross- ing on Cross street, was in his shanty at the time of the storm and claims to have reccivcd a shock that made every fibre of his body tingle with an unfi pleasant sensation. A tree on the Kellogg place near the foot of Spring Hill was struck, but the fluid did no further damage than break- ing the tree. The lightning played high jinks on the Tramway wires on Belden avenue, but did little .-_or no damage in that \ The storm did not, FROM HARPER'S WEEKLY Copyright. 1838. by Harper 6: Brothers. lsection confining itself in this instance to the wires. AtBellIsland either the lightning or wind, probably the latter, hurled a. clock from a shelf at the Union House, and destroyed it. The owner of the clock had had it in his possession for nearly thirty years, but evidently it had reached its allotted time and it vas stopped short never to go again. Several of the cars were stalled on the Tramway line, for a short time. Barns belonging to S. B. Wakcman and Dr. Fife of Westport were struck by lightning and badly damaged. A tree in the yard ofcarpent-er Rowe on Spring bill, was struck by light- ning. , —————‘O°|II>—-——— Troops to Come Home.
