Electric Cars-Off Now on Schedule Tjme-The First Accident-Double Funeral-The Aged Couple Who Were BurRed-A Borough Case Lakeside Club-General News. a The electric cars began running on time Saturday and all dsy were every hour and seemed to be we'll although owing to the work on Wallace's bridge the cars stopped at the west side of the Quinnipiac river. The fact that the fare from Meriden has been placed at fifteen cents instead of ten, as has been expected would be the figures, causes much disappointment among the residents here, who expected to patronizs the new line to Meriden. The regular fare on the Consolidated road is but fifteen cents and the time of transit Is less than fifteen minutes, while by the electric cars 1t is nearly three times as long at present, and there is no prospect of 1t being less than thirty minutes for some time to come, if ever. There are many who, to save a nickle in the fare, would forget the extra time wasted in the transit to Meriden, but at the same fare they will discover that their time is quite valuable and in conse- quence take the old line instead of the new. Of course for short time, until the novelty is worn off, they will take the cleo tric road, but in the long run the Oonso1i- dated road will get larger share of the traffic between here and Meriden. Yales- vile will be greatly benefited by the road, as 1t comes by the doors, while the old line is half mile or more away.
 The first accident caused by the electric cars was recorded Saturday morning, when one of the cars on the west side of the river struck and broke the axle of a the side of the road. Mrs. Seliskie of Cook Hill was driving into town and probably supposed she was far enough from the track to allow the car to pass, but 1t seems there was miscalculation and the car struck the wheel and broke the axle. No other damage was done.
