One of the brand new trolley wires i'll Fulton
ST.. brooklyn, was broken yesterday by slight
accident, and furnished striking illustration
of the danger of the overhead trolley system.
The broken wire fell into the street and rolled
about in an alarming way, emitting showers
OF sparks, to the terror Of everybody in the
noighborhood. People have learned to give

found in bad sanitary condition. This leaves
tho detention of immigrants to the discretion
of Quarantine officials but, Of course. the order
may be put in full force ct any time should
necessity therefor arise.
