 The Courant also makes favorable men, tion AS follows:
 "Father smith has made many friends in East Hartford. His address at the an niver- sary Eof the Woman's Relief Corps of D. c. Rodman post recently Eeld at " els Hall was a stirring, patriotic speech, and will not soon be forgotten by those present"
 Father Fox is to be congratulated on securing so able co-laborer.
 Father Finn from Derby was present at the service at St Roses church on last Wednesday night and made the address.
 On the evening of next Sunday, which is St Patrick's day, there will be vesper service at St Roses church, and Father Smith, the new curate, will deliver lee tcre. A small admittance fee of p cents Is to be charged, the proceeds to be ad- ded to the fund of the church.

ELECTRIC LINE COLLISION
The Account OF the Injuries Inflicted
Exaggerated
No Amputation Was Necessory.-The Limb Il
Set and Doing Niccly--The o ther
Injuries Not Scrio-s

The account Of the Pasadena electric
line COLI sion which appeared in yester-
days Herald was an inaccurate one. Til c
account of the injuries sustained by pas
sengers upon the two unlucky cars was
somewhat exaggerated.
Frank Perrillat, who suffered a broken
leg, was reported to have undergone an
amputation Of the limb. Such, fortunate
ly, was not the case. The bones are
nicely set, and DR.. Hodge hopes for a
quick mend and one that will leave the
patient with good sound legs to do him
a full term of service.
OF those reported to be otherwise in
jured only three we're injured to any great
extent, and these injuries were confined
to being cut by glass. inf1icting surface
or flesh wounds exclusively.
Two hundred dollars will cover the
damage to the cars. Superlntendent
Clark deeply regrets the accident. He is
pushing the double-track ing of the entire
road as rapidly as possible, and states
that the point at which the accident oc-
Cured is the only portion OF the llhe
where such an unfortunate happening
could have taken place. Tie combination
of sharp curve, the house and its shelf
ering grove of trees. obstructs the view OF
the rails as nowhere else on the line.
