M. F. Maynard, being frightened at ! some of the many exciting noises aUiut the Square, started on a frantic run 7::*ii Wednesday morning, and dashed through the Square anil down Harris street. As he rounded the drinking fountain the wagon skidded and eame in contact w ith a tup-buggy standing at the station, in which was a young lady. The first the occupant of the carriage knew she was upset and I thrown to the ground. She immedi ately extricated herself from the bug gy-top without sustaining any bodily harm except a fright. Her horse stood still, or it might have been different. The runaway animal was slightly cut up. —Putnam and vicinity »#< vi»iled Wednesday morning, a Unit 12 o'clock, with the severest electrical storm it ha* had for many year*, which lasted over ’ two hours, with territlc clafw of inces sant thunder, and heavy down-pour of rain. Several telephone* were burned out, but the worst disaster was caused bv bolt* of lightning, which struck three building*—two without damage. The third were two barns at Ka-*t Put- ! nam, owned by Krnesl K and (Min \\ Torrev, which were burned to the ground about -’1 o'clock. Although the owner* hurries! out to rescue w hat they could, they found the barns en eloped in Mines and could save nothing. The 1 >»* was heavy: besides the barm* anil . farm implements, hay, wagons, at?., | there were four horse*, a bull and two j,,z* burned. The eow*. fortunately I T . but would add Sunday new*{>ai>c^s, ran dans ice cream, and whatever else the public demanded—it was a* quiet as any Suuday the city has e\er had. In the morning the {taper* were reeeived and disposed of long before the church hells rang, and all was tjuiel around the premise*. This is the testimony of those who look the {tains to leant the fact*. Mr. Uentek and his family, who are Jews and foreigners, live in the build ing in which is the grocery store. They are evidently a quiet, weil-behave |hs> ple. with no di*|totdlion to give offence to their American neighbors. Like some who should know belter, pcrhajts Mr. Kenick did not understand the ob ject in view in seeking to restrict open business on Sunday, or he might not have made the remark attributed to him—if he did make it at all—“No more blue-lid Sundays for our ja-ople." Kven the despotic governments of Ku ro|>e allow great freedom to their sub jects to enjoy themselves on Sunday, allhouKh guarded as a holy day—and when they come to this land of lita-rly il surprises them to find restriction!, placed on business on Sunday This may be the view Mr. Uenick took. Hut strange as it may seem, cs|ieclal ly to Mr. Reutck, he has found no sym pathy in try lug to have “no more blue li 1 Sundays." Instead ol doing a nour ishing trade on Sunday—although he had the monopoly of the city—his sales were almost con lined to that of news pa la-rs. Kew, if any, ladies wished to enter a grocery store, particularly on Sunday , to get ice cream and randies. As we have said before, the Ameri cans believe In Sunday as a rest day—a sus|ieiision of ithetr ordinary nvoca tmis to gi\e relaxation to llieir minds and bodies. To many of them reading ncwspa|>ers Is regarded as a relaxation. Noclass, or individual even, tins de sired io deprive them of this privilege. Not even our Prosecuting Attorney had any desire to do so, but did so because the courts declared il was his duly, when pro|>er evidence was furnished to iiiin, to close up all business “except that of necessity or mercy lie had announced before-hand, Itiat if comia'llcd in enforce tlit* State taw he would make no exAptiun*—every thing like business should Is- closed up as tight as a drum. He would nut lake the responsibility of drawing any other line than the law ill reeled—that of necessity or mercy lie regarded tlial to be his sworn duly . (II course, people were led to ex|K'ct that Sunday would be an absolute rest day. 11 was, for one day, with llie ex ception that the police force had extra duly to |ieiform to keep the "Siinday iid" light, as the Prosecuting Allor ney declared it should l>e. Hut that is now am h ut history. The i|Uestion is, how shnil the new diltieul ties la- met: the streets cannot be sprin kled Sundays, drug stores are not al lowed to la- u|ien, u> the discomfort of people; and shall thi privilege to sell pria-rs,ice cream,candies, Ac., fa- mon opolized l>y one ia:rson, or allowed to others who have now had to close up their place-. If public opinion would ac'iulesce in the pres< ill order il iniglif, as seems, likely to restrict o|ien t rattle la-ttcr, if no other atlcmpt than Mr. Itenck - place dia-x o|a-u Sunday traf fic. Hul tlu-rc are possibilities of wi dening Ihe open diair loan luliinlled extent. Then puulic feeling should la consulted. That is of first iinia>rtanee ami—linal.
