cURREN t. EVENTS

one evening a;egreeCl motorman ana con-
ductor were sent out with green Flat
bush car. The Gar Started out, but did not
return. Hours passed, but car NO. Is was
nowhere apparent. ,iThe CONSERVATION at
the company'ss office was something fear
full when it was found that cars started
later than 70 were returning without hay
Ing seen or heard Of the missing car. Ap-
parently the Strikers had found soma
and the chances were that in few days
there would not be street car left IN
Brooklyn. All night long the officials OF
the company discussed the situation. All
night long detectives secured the sur
rounding country. All in vain; No. Is
could not be found. The officials were in
despair. What use to oppose strikers who
possessed such mysterious powers? just
as the pale morning sun cleaned on the
polished sides Of the first baby carriage to
appear on the streets telegram was
handed to the president Of the Flatbush
line: His pale. haggard face ut up as ne
read it. 1t was short. Gar No. IL, your
line, In our sheds. Send for It,. J. Bunch
superintendent Blankville llne.'
The explanation was easy. the green
notorman had gotten lost. He had taken
a wrong switch, had been twisted in a
siding, and then for the rest OF the night
had gripped on to a confusing number OF
different trolley wires, hoping that each
one would lead him home, which they
he had accepted the Blankville sheds, fif-
teen miles from Brooklyn, as a veritable
haven of rest. This affair Is Interesting
enough as AN incident of the great strike,
but 1t Is alarming as g prophecy OF the
future. The trolley systems in and around
Brooklyn are merely in their infancy now,
but are rapidly developing Think of what
may happen when the systems have ex-
tended their lines fully. What tales of
horror and suffering such paragraphs as
the Following in Brooklyn papers Will hint
at:
Hope Abandoned.
Trolley car No. 1922 Of the x. Y. z.
road is now overdue eight weeks, and all
hopes of her safety have been abandoned.
When last heard from the car contained
the motorman and conductor and four
passengers and a baby. No provisions
were thought to have been on board, ex-
ceptinS, possibly, the motorman's dinner
and bottle of milk fo- the baby"
Happily Married.
Michael Mahoney was happily married
to Mary MalOney at the residence OF the
brides parents last night. Mahoney will
be remembered as one Of the passengers
on the Inflated trolley car 6,916 of the ~.
B. c. lire. 1t will be remembered that this
car was lost on April IL, and wandered
around from track to track for forty-two
days in hopeless confusion, when. the mo-
torman having tainted from exhaustion,
the car ran into the rear of Hibernian
procession, when it was promptly thrown
Off the track by the paraders. Nine out of
Mabonsv throuoh ha;,a a nadItar 81 and
having supply of chewing gum, was one
of the rescued. 1t is said that Michael
had long loved Mary without hope, and
ha secured af+ar bic ra.n,,a rs,rnua% tha
last obstacle to the union"
