A BREAK IN TROLLEY WIRE
CAUSED RoLDup CT ELeCTRICS

There was quite a holdup Of trolley
cars late yesterday afternoon, and il
was caused by the breaking Of the troll
ley wire at the corner of Westminster
and Mathewson streets. There was
quite little excitement when the wire
broke. and il is said that several wo-
men were more or less injured, { nd
Miss Alice Blakelv fell 10 the ground,
and IL is thought that she received an
electrical shock.
Those who were in the vicinity claim
that the first intimation OF the break
in the wire was binding flash OF blue
light. instantly followed by a lou1 re-
port and a swapping noise. The report
was different from that Of n gun being
much sharper. To those who Were IN
the stores near by II sounded more like
the explosion that occurred vGen the
sewer covers were blown off. The wire
fell TO the pavements just opposite
Grace church. and IL Kissed arU slz-
zled in a manner that kept people at a
distance. and IL was considered almost
remarkable that no serious accident oc-
Cured.
In about 10 minutes temporary re-
pairs were made ard traffic was re-
suned and once more the shoppers In
that vicinity and horses regained tdeir
usual calmness.

DEMURRER IN HARTFORD
AND CARROLL GsSE 0Vt RRULED.

The following opinion has been hand
ed down IN the case OF George Hartford
VS. John y Carroll:
Per Curiam. This IS an action OF
trespass for an assault and battery.
The defendant demurs to the declara-
tions on the ground that il does not set
forth that criminal proceedings had
been Instituted against the defendant
for the assault complained Of in ac-
cordance with General Laws X. L..
Cap. 233 Sec. l6.
The question which the defendant
seeks the determination Of cannot be
raised by demurrer The declarati tiOn
is In the usual form. The demurrer
must, therefore be overruled. To raise
the ques tion before trial on the merits
a plea i'm abatement OF the action
should have been filed. setting up the
statute relied on, and alleging the nom
compliance OF the plaintiff with its
provisions.
Though he question Is not properly
before us. we may say that a civil ac-
ton at common law might be main
tanned for an assault and "ltterv with
out first instituung criminal proceed
ings and hence the section " the stat
ute under consideration has no appli-
cation. the case being Within the eX-
ception contained in the statute.
Demurrer oVerruled and case te-
mitted 20 the common pleas division
for further proceedings"

The ROBERTS CASE
discussed at Meeting Held In Bell
ST. Chapel Last Night.
Addresses Made BY Amasa NJ Eaton, WASH
lngton D. Prescott and Others.

The winter series OF discussion
meetings" at Bell street chapel COM
menced last evening, and the opening
debate was on the Roberts case, the
subject being ably handled by Hon.
Amasa NJ. Eaton, who said that there
were three important points to be con-
sidered. and these were: Has the
House any authority under the con-
stitution 10 exclude him2 If 1t has. are
these adequate grounds for exclusion?
ana third, IL there is. should the ques-
ton of his admission be referred 10
committee or should he be admitted and
afterwards excluded?
Mr. Eaton argued that the House was
not bound TO admit as a member lu-
matte or murderer. Substitute for 'mur-
derer" IAN adulterer." and the case
is made out. The conclusion is that the
House should refuse as a member any
person who would shock the moral SEN
sibilities OF the country. Next Mr.. Ia
ton took up the question OF bigamy. lie
cited the fact that Roberts was con-
Nicted adulterer who had served a term
In prison for that offence. The history
Oh the three wives anu lNObtiAo iNts'-
tions with them was then given. Also
the House committees report. Ihe
House has refused TO seat Roberts and
will receive in it's full force the support
of the American people.
Washington ID. Prescott took the op-
posite view, and said there was no
House when Roberts came 10 Washing
ton. There was no one 10 say him nay.
When Roberts presented his certificate
OF election il entitled him TO a seat as
much as anyOne's bit OF paper did. The
clerk OF the House receives the indi-
vidual certificates Of election, and from
them he makes up the official roll. No
member has any right superior TO an
other. Precedent does not justify the
action in the Roberts case In former
instances where there has been con-
tested case Independent of the right or
wrong. the man having the certificate
has been admitted. There is no ques-
ton. said Mr.. Prescott. about the right
of the House to eXpel a member. The
question is as To the method OF proceed
ure. The only right Of the house, ac-
cording to the Constitution, is the
right TO expel-not To exclude.
r.. H. PIERCE Robert III. Grieve and
Mr.. Whitehead took part in the discus
sion. Then the debate was closed by
Messrs. Eaton and Prescott.

ITO be candid with the American peo-

the young men who cannot find work
