James Farley, driver for the York State
Butter company, was driving over from
Brooklyn last night, and while crossing
the Naugatuck railroad track the gateman
lowered the gates just in time to catch the
wagon under them. The gates struck the
seat on which the driver and a lady who
was with him were sitting, knocking both
off into the road, and then came down
upon load of eggs. which were in the
wagon, smashing most of them besides
breaking the seat and part of the wagon.
The horse turned to run down the rail-
road track, but the driver was quick to act
and stopped him before he had made
much Roadway. Farley and the lady were
not much hurt, but will be likely to re-
member the affair as long as they live.
There was quite a smash-up on Meadow
street about l o'clock to-day. Henry
Kaufman. the Spring street baker, accom-
panied by another man was driving down
towards the New England railroad track.
A horse attached to one of A. w. Castles
meat wagons, which was being driven in
the direction of Bank street, became
frightened by another team in the rear of
the wagon, and before the driver could
control him the wagon locked wheels with
the bakers wagon, throwing the occupants
of both vehicles to the ground, and Mr.
Kaufman suffered a confusion of tho ribs
and few slight scalp wounds. His COM
panion and the driver of the butchers
team escaped without injury. Both wag-
ons were badly damaged. The injured
man was attended by DR. Donahue.
Telephones are going to be cheaper
After the thirtieth of this month few
dollars will buy telephone and $50 will
purchase complete telephone system
with all the necessary Implements for
both ends of the line. Hitherto this could
not have been done owing to the bell
telephone patents. The fundamental bell
telephone patent expired March of last
year. The Bell Co., it was found, how
ever. still owned the patent on the receiver,
and no telephone system would be of
much use without n receiver, But the
patent of January so, 1877, is now about
to expire, and thus both the receiver and
the transmitter win be free TO the public.
This will not, of course, relieve the
people from the Bell company as it has its
extended system and exchanges which it
viii be impossible to replace right away.
Irish setter dog lost. The finder will be
rewarded.
