Suggested by the Experience of the
Opening Week.
In view of the introduction of the cleo
trio car into New Haven, the following
may be appreciated:
Don't jump off an electric car when it lie
in motion! If you must jump, don't jump
in the opposite direction from which the
car is running.
Don't be frightened if the car gets
"stalled" on steep grade, and begins to
run backward. The motor man has con-
troll, and is looking for the electric cur
rent to take the car up the grade. There
is no danger.
Don't faint away if you see lightning
flashing from beneath the car, or an cleo
trio spark or blaze from the wires over
head. A person in a fainting fit is bur-
den to the men in charge of the car, and
will do we'll to do her fainting before she
leaves home or after she returns.
Don't lash your horse because in his fear
he loses his head and endanRers your limbs
Fear cannot be lashed out of man or beast
Don't leave your horse standing in the
narrow business streets unattended and
then blame the electric cars or motor man
if the animal runs away.
Don't in training your horse if he is skit-
fish drive him three-fourths of his length
in advance of the car, so that should he
jump the wrong way he will be killed and
yourself MANNED before the motor man can
shut off the current and brake mp the car.
Don't try to drive your old horses to
"the electric current market" and then
collect thoroughbred prices from the COM
pany. A dead horse never brings as good
a price as live one.
Don't growl because the cars do not run
better, for the company propose to have
their cars run as smoothly as they run on
any road in the country, as soon as they
can accomplish work
Don't forget that if you stick to the car
under all circumstances, the car will stick
to you. It js safer to stick to the car than
to try to jump clear of it. Eleven tons of
car might crush body beneath, or beside
it.
Don't invite the motor man to "let her
co." and then growl and expect damages
because your frightened horse got away
from you.
Don't take any chances, but keep level
headed whether on foot or in carriages,
and do your part to avert accidents and
keep whole. Damages when collected do
not repair broken bones or make as good
as new MANNED bodies.
THE DEADLY TROLLEY.
The following telegram came yesterday
by Associated Press:
BROOKLYN, July 25.-There was another
trolley accident last evening at Third ave-
nue. and Ninth street. A Third avenue
horse car was bowling along the avenue

Tor man yelled at each other and hurriedly
put on their brakes. Each succeeded in
Shocking the speed Of his car, but one Of
The trolley cars struck the horse car broad
