TROLLEY CAR JUMPS TRACKS
NEAR STRATFORD, CONN.
PLUNGES ON A BRIDGE
Topples From There and Rolls Fifty
Feet Down Embankment-All But
Five Dead-Only Eyewitness Of
Catastrophe Says Car Was Running
Very Fast.

Bridgeport, Conn, Aug. GA trolley
car on the Shelton Street railway, filled
with passengers, jumped the track just
at the south end of the long, high
bridge over Peck S stream, about a mile
and half beyond Stratford, about
o'clock this afternoon. 1t ran along
the heavy planking of the bridge for
about seventy-five feet, and then top
pied off the east side, and fell fifty feet
to the valley below. 1t turned COM
pletely over in its descent and the
heavy motors on the bottom drove the
bottom and top of the car together and
crushed the passengers between them

passengers on the car. Forty are dead

HOW PULQUE IS MADE.
Its Disagreeable Odor Caused by Rem
net Put in 1t.

great many people think the pu-
trid odor Of pulque is due to the pig
skin in which it is carried to market
In this they are entirely mistaken
The late ambassador of the United
States, Mr.. Romero, has a splendid ex-
PLANTATION in one of his books of the
process Of extracting and preparing
pulque for market. He says that the
putrid Odor and flavor Of the famous
beverage are caused by the rennet that
amount of purtrescence, as in cheese
The various guidebOoks that are pub
lished give the reader a very poor idea
Of how pulque is prepared. The pulque
plant is indigenous to Mexico, and
grows on the plateau where for months
plains of Apam, large tract of land
lying in the states of Mexico, Puebla
and HidalgO, about sixty miles east OF
the City of Mexico, are famous on &C
count Of their production of pulque
When the liquor is ready to flow the
plant must be MIXED, else the super
fluffy Of juices will cause the growth
Of thick stem from the center of the
plant. When first extracted, before
the process Of fermentation sets in
pulque is sweet and scentless, and in
this state is preferred by those unac-
cuStOmed to the drink The fermen-
tation takes places in tubs constructed
for tho and 70 old r.
the process little "madre pulque,' OF
pulque mother, is added. At times the
fermentation is retarded by a cold
spell at the watts. When the sweet SAP
is collected it is like green water in ap-
pearance and taste, and is called "agua
miel," or honey water. Soon carbonic
acid is formed, and the pulque becomes
milky, resembling in taste very good
cider. The amount of carbonic acid
contained is 50 great and the decOm-
position is so incredibly rapid that in
a few hours it would become vinegar
if not closely watched. To prevent
this the pulque dulce, or sweet pulque
is poured into a tinical, an oxhide
strapped to a square wooden frame,
and capable of holding a considerable
amount of the liquid. These tinicals
are Of various sizes to meet the emer-
gencies of the situation.
To the sweet pulque is added an
equal proportion of milk and then a
slight dose of infusion of rennet, not
sufficient, however, to coagulate it.
From the tinical it is poured into a
hogshead by means of pigskins and is
transferred to the barrels of the -'ha-
cendado" by means of the same skins.
1t is then carried every day to the city
by special trains in large tierces and
in "cueros de pulque," or pigskins
filled with the liquid.
The plant does not arrive at matur-
ity or yield its sap before its eighth
year. It's period of production is about
five months, and each plant is supposed
to yield from 125 to $50 gallons of
liquid during that time. The best
pulque, Of course, cannot be obtained in
the city. On the haciendas where it is
prepared it is very fine and is a splen-
did remedy for kidney troubles. 1t is
drunk in Mexico alone, none of the
Central or South American countries
producing 1.-two Republics.

narrow SanSpldnk connects with the
boat
The officials at the ferry realized
that the crush at the landing was
taken to prevent the crowd from col
lecting in too great numbers in the
slip, for fear that it might possibly be
unable to bear the strain. Although
there were four men at the entrance
to the slip, endeavoring to keep the
people orderly and make them go slow
ly and in moderate numbers down the
gangplank, the efforts were unavailing.
With great shouting and laughing the
thousand excursionists piled out of the
cars and simultaneously started on a
rush for the boat.
In a minute the four men had been
swept aside, and, darting onward. the
crowd of men, women, and children
ran down the slip and crossed the mar
row plank on a dead run Very
quickly the passageway became block
ed, and scores Of the more agile were
swarming over from the wharf over
the sides Of the steamer. The crowd,
although moving fairly fast, had be-
come quite dense, and in a few mo-
ments the slip, which runs down at an
angle OF about twenty-five degrees, was
filled with a tightly packed mass of
humanity, wedged in together. Finally,
the congestion became SO great that
there were over 200 people on the slip
at one time
Beyond them were 700 more pushing
and crowding. Everybody was TAX
ing things good-naturedly and in
holiday fashion. Suddenly, with no
warning whatever, there was loud
report as though of cannon, and
the next instant those who had gained
the Sapho turned to see the long slip,
