Norwaik Experienced a Severe
Electrical Shower Yesterday
Afternoon—~Some Buildings
Sustained Slight Damage
Norwalk experienced the most sc-
Nerc electrical storm of the summer
yesterday afternoon. btit strange to
say. not a drop of rain foil. The black
threatening clouds began gathering
ominously about noon but the climax
did not come tint between it and ti
o‘clocltp Great flashes of lightning
rent the heavy veil of clouds and
there were loud pests of thunder.
At 4 o'clock. there was a particular
1y hard crash and investigation revcal~
ed considerable damage at St. Mary‘s
convent in Chapel street. Fortunately
there was nobody near by when the
bolt struck. it entered an “ell." in
which is the kitchen. at the rear of
the convent, and took a rather pecul-
iar course. first going through the aid-
ing of the building. furrowod the plus-
ter wall of the culinary department.
and finally disappeared down into the
foundation.
it so happened that one of the ills-
ters left the kitchen only a moment
before the crash cattle. There. Were
several other sisters about the convent
at the time but none were injured,
though all of them felt the effects of
the electricity. Several people work-
ing about St. Mary’s rectory saw the
convent struck. They state that orie
of the. boards of the siding-at the con-
vent wus torn off and hurled into the
rectory yard. in the kitchen. the plas-
ter wall will need renewing for 80V
eral square feel. it is also probable
that new lath will have to replace
that in the course of the bolt of light-
fling.
. The nearest piece ...at received a
downfall of rain from. this shower was
. Wilton. The streets there, were flood»
ed by a copious downpour lasting sortie
time. ~
After the storm passed over Nor-

between seven and ten seconds in dur—

strength of the concussion. Prof. Lee
said that it was one of those shocks

considerable depth, probably two or

today a mile west of Port ltoyal.
which fortunately did not result ser-
iously.
A west bound freight train nearing
Port Royal tried to stop suddenly and
the engineer made a too violent. ap~
pileatlou of air, the consequence of
which was that a car buckled and
was thrown over to track No. 1, on
which the flyer was speeding east, An
attempt was made to flag trains in
front and in the rear of the wreck.
but. the break occurred almost simul-
taneously with the arrival of the flyer
and the train plunged into the wreck.
The momentum threw the wrecked
car from the track. but the. flycr did
not jump the rails. Engineer Calvin
Miller, of this city, when he saw the
obstruction on the track. jumped from
the engine and was hurt about the
head and back. He was the only
one injured on the train. Fireman
German brought the train to a stop.
The passengers. all of whom were

had been an accident until after the
train he‘d been stopped for some time.
They were not even shaken up and
none of them was injured. A wreck

-- a...“ f
There is practically no change in
the condition of Private llarry L. Deu-
ton, of Company li‘. who was shot
through the back last May. while the
command was at rifle practice at the
Westport avenue range. Everything
possible is being done for the young
man at the Norwalk Hospital, but
all that lies in the power of the phy-
sicians is to keep him comfortable.
He still experiences no sensation in
his body below the arm pits.
All the hope of the physicians now
centers in the possibility of the re-
generation of the nerve tissues de-
stroyed when the bullet, penetrated the
spinal column. A New York specialist
has viewed the case, but. was unable
to prescribe anything that would re-
lieve his condition.
Dr. William J. Tracey. who has been
very active in caring for the young
mun, is advocating the passage by
the legislature of a bill that would
provide for immediate assistance to
any militiamen injured. as was Den—
duty. The doctor firmly believes that
it. is the. dilly of the legislature to
makc some such provision. While it
is true that the state law makers
granted 3750 a few days ago for young
Demon, still, with the care his condi-
tion requires, the stun will not last
a great while.
Just, how the case will terminate
cannot even yet be told Should the
regeneration of the nerve tissue take
place. he would gradually regain feol~

Crowd
CHICAGO. .luly 15.—-Members of the
Eighth Regiment, 1_ N. G.. rescued a
colored policeman from a crowd that
was threatening a lynching last night
in thirty-seventh street. near the
Rock Island tracks.- The policeman
was Fred Locke, who was appointed
recently for strike duty. In trying
to escape from a mob he opened fire
with his revolver, shooting Julia Mc-
Hugh, eighteen years old. A crowd
0f several hundred persons surrounded
the man, bent on killing him, but the
Eighth Regiment soldiers came to his
assistance, -
About twenty negro militiamen were
on their way to the Eighth Regiment
armory, preparatory to leaving ffor
their annual encampment at Spring~
field. They heard the shots that Locke
tired at his pursuers and rushed in the
direction whence the sound came. The
militiamen were. in full uniform and
armed with rifles. '

Thirty-seventh smut; the policeman
was standing off a mob of men and
women by flourishing his revolver. ,
”l‘h'cr'e were cries of "Lynch himl‘”
and he feared for his life. He first
fired two shots at his pursuers and one
of the bullets struck the McHngh girl.
who was standing at the curb two
hundred feet away. Two more shots
were fired by Locke, one. of the but-
lets passing through a man's hat.
When the wounded girl fell the cries
of "Lynch the negro!" came from a
hundred voices. Men and women took
cobblestones and other missiles from
the street to burl at him.
Finally Locke was disarmed, being
knocked down and trampled upon. At
this point the militiamen appeared
with their rides. ' '
