TROLLEY WIRE BURNT OUT.
Accident which Made the Passers-
by SkedaddIe.

The main trolley wire at the junction of
Gregory and Montgomery streets burned out
shortly after noon today and fell to the
street, sending up tongue of blueish white
fame which caused the pedestrians in the
vicinity to beat hasty retreat. The police
of tie First precinct telephoned to the Con-
solidalad Traction Company's Office for the
repair wagon. and in the meantime cleared
the streets in the vicinity, forcing the crowd
which quickly gathered to a safe distance.
The wire sizzled and sputtered and danced
in lively fashion. Its antics snapped in two
the wire which held it to the trolley pole.
This wire became charged and wrapped itself
around the unused lamp post on the corner.
The lamp post, too, became charged. The
cap on top of the pipe was blown off and the
gas was ignited. The gas flame shot high in
the air, whistling like peanut roaster on a
cold day.
The repair wagon arrived by this time and
the hneinen went to the cut out near the
Academy Of Music and shut off the current.
One Of Plumber NJ +. Mullone's employees
extinguished the gas by making a temporary
plug of pieces of wrapping paper using
mud for cement The line was repaired and
ready again for traffic by a quarter past
one o'clock. While the repairs were being
made the Montgomery and Erie street
cars passed down Montgomery street and
reached the ferry via Washington and York
streets

COLLEGE HOSPITALITY.
Harvard VIII Entertain the Cam
bridge Athletic Team.

BOSTON, Sept II, 1S95.-Since it was
finally decided that a team of Cambridge
University athletes was to visit this country,
there has been growing desire among Har,
ward men, graduates and undergraduates, to
do something for the entertainment of the
Englishmen before they leave this country.
This desire took expression in letter sent
this morning to F. S. Horan, president of
the Cambridge University Athletic Club.
1t was signed by George B. Morrison, Chair
man of the Graduate Advisory Committee
on Track Athletics, and j. L. Brorner, Jr.,
captain of the track team. Although it was
thought most fitting that the first advances
should be made by these two men, the latter
is intended to stand as an invitation not alone
from the trackmen, nor indeed from the
athletic contingent as body, but from all
Harvard, graduate and undergraduate
The time suggested for the visit of tine
Cambridge men IS Monday, October Z. This
will be two days after the Cambridge Yale
meeting, and probably only about the same
length of time before the English collegians
sail for home.
No plans for the day have yet been decided
upon in case the invitation is accepted. In
the rough, however, it is the idea of the
Harvard men that in case the Cambridge
athletes arrive about noon, they should be
given luncheon, spend the afternoon in see
ing as much as possible of the University
and in the evening be given a dinner in
town, possibly at the University Club

she met Poole He was there appar-

Mrs. Curtis and Poole began to talk
in low tones, but in a moment Poole
suddenly cried:-"ll show you, you can't
fool with me-" Mrs Curtis screamed and
front of her and shouted, 9TH kill you,''
and at the same instant he drew ps-

Mrs. Curtis.
One bullet struck rsr in the breast,

that he gave out no such information.
What he did tell the agent of the

not yet received a reply to either. Up
on this fimsy foundation was based the

THE DIFFICULTY OF SAVING MONEY

Talking about saving money" said a
veteran. millionaire last night. 1T is a
hundred times harder now to keep cash
in your pockets than it was when l was
a young fellow. and didn't spend cent.
these days. Every young man wants a
bicycle, and it's mighty hard to stand
on the streets and see your friends spin
self. Again, it's a great privation for a
young fellow not to be well dressed;
The distinction between good clothes and
poor is so sharp nowadays that it's gall
ing to be conspicuous by cheap attire.
Again, there is the theatre, the. excursion
ducements to spend money which hardly
existed in my day and I'm glad they
didn't, for if they had / honestly think
would have been a poor man now
