WAS GREATLY EXAGGERATED.


The Total Damage Amounted to About
$S-The Third Rail Regular Trips
Next Monday.
In regard to the statement sent out
from New Britain as to the accident on
the third rail between New Britain
and Berlin published in the papers of
Monday evening and yesterday morn
ing, Vice President Hall of the Con-
solidated road stated: THE report of
the accident is greatly exaggerated. The
accident was caused simply by the fall
ing of a brake beam from freight car
which, coming in contact with the third
rail- caused the circuit-breaker to
burn out, This is the object of having
circuit breaker. The whole damage
VIII not exceed the sum of SO instead of
$4,000, as published. There seems to
be disposition to magnify the dam
gers of the third rail in the vicinity Of
New Britain. Everything is working
smoothly and satisfactorily at the pow
er house at Berlin and it IS expected
that regular trips will begin over the
third rail between New Britain and
Hartford on Monday next"

Norwich, May 1S-There was an un-
usually large crowd in the superior
court here to-day, when before Judge

pie was called. 1t will be remembered
that the accused was a prominent wit
ness In the superior court trial of the
divorce suit which was brought in New
London by Ransom S. Sholes against
his wife, Amida Sholes The divorce
was granted, but later the case was re-
turned to the docket on the ground that
Mrs. Sholes had been improperly noti-
fed. Still later followed the arrest of
Emily Turpie and Ransom Sholes, who
were charged with perjury.
Not little interest was added to to-
days proceedings by the fact that Eb-
enezer Sholes, son Of Ransom Sholes.
died recently under circumstances
which were mysterious and which have
not been explained as yet The first
witness to-day was Della L. Sholes. a
daughter of Mrs. Sholes. Her testimo-
ny occupied a greater portion of the
first session.
