BETHEL.


The up electric car and trailer from
Bethel to Danbury, on Saturday evening
last. when near the lower end of the pafk
on Main street, collided with the hind
wheels of carriage that stood crosswlse
of the street and one foot too near the
track for the car to pass. The result
was a broken up carriage. After the
crash came the horse that was attached
to the carriage appeared to wake up, and
started at a lively gate up street. The
horse was brought back with the shafts
and forward wheels. The driver was
fished out of the debris and laid out on
the road apparently more dead than alive
but as it afterward proved he was not
seriously injured. The driver was either
intoxicated or asleep, for the moterman
sounded the alarm, then shut off the
power and put on the brake, bat he was
unable to stop the car In time to avoid
the collision, There were probably over
100 passengers aboard the two cars,
which made heavy load to brake at a
moments warming. 1t has been no I'M

the side of the trolley track to dodge in

The fatigue from ovcr.taxed nerves is
more intense, more depressing and more
disastrous thar anything known to tired
muscles. The greatest sufferers from this
condition are women, who are apt to re.
ceive criticism where they should have
sympathy. Their condition is not due to
perversity, but has its origin In serious
malady. The cause is found In the fact
that the blood is impure, and in its i'm.
poverished condition cannot supply the
nerves with proper nourishment. which Is
needed to make them strong.
The remedy for weak nerves is found
in Hoods ~Sarsaparilla, because it puri.
fles. vitalizes, and enriches the blood,
giving it power to build up the broken
down nervous system, strengthen the
muscles, cure all blood diseases, and
give health and vigor to the whole body.

WARRINGTON. March 11.-Sehor Luis Polo y
Bernabc. the new Minister OF Spain to the United
States. was presented TO Secretary Sherman and
Assistant Secretaries Day and Adee at the
State Department shortly before IL o'clock
this morning by Senior Du Bose, Charge
d'Affaires Of the Spanish Legation. The
presentation Of the Minister to Pres
ident Mckinley will occur tomorrow at IL
o'clock. 1t was arranged some time ago that
the presentation should BIO made to-day. and
the postponement OF the ceremony led to various
theories as TO its cause. Unfavorablo comment
was made because Prince Albert Of Belgium
was received at 10 o'clock, despite the fact that
Senior Poly y Bernabe's visit was postponed on
account of tho Cabinet meeting, which was in
session at that hour.
Any intention of lack OF courtesy toward the
Spanish d"iplomatist is disclaimed, however,
and II appears that tho hitch In the official pro
~ceedings was due entirely to II misundersthnd
ing. When the President named March IL as the
dnte for receiving the new Minister. no did so
under the impression that the date fell on sat
urday, II being the custom not to receive foreign
Ministers on Cabinet days. Prince Albert ISL
royal visitor, and. MS n dinner was to DO given in
his honor in tho evening, 1t seemed appropriate
for the President TO receive him at noon.
The greetings exchanged between Senior. Polo
y Bernabo and the State Department officials
was so cordial as to preclude for the moment
any thought Of the strained relations between
the United States and Spain. The Minister and
Assistant Secretary Adee. having been ac-
quainted during Senior Polo's former Diplomatic
lsrly hearty. and they embraced each other in
true Spanish fashion.

there has been great excitement ever since the
