 Trouble is again brewing among the parish hioners of St Josph's Lithu- anian church. As announced in previous issue of the Democrat, work
 has been commenced toward erecting
 a parochial residence on James street for St Joseph's parish. This appears to be the bone of contention judging from q circular which fell into the hands of the Democrat reporter today The circular IS printed in the Lithuanian language but the reporter had Lith,1- anian friend of his translate it for him. From the. tone of the circular it ap- pears that those who have had the cir cular printed and distributed, are not desirious of having the parochial resi- dence built on the selected site on James street in the rear of the church. They wish 1t to be built on another site and accordingly they have called a meeting of all, who are opposed to the present site. for tomorrow night when | 1t is expected that something definite l will be done. Tn the meantime, the work on the foundations of the new building continues.
 Another little child was run into by a trolley car yesterday and like lit- | tie Denny Gralulln she escaped without
 any injuries. This time the fortunate victim was Edith, the little two and one-half year old daughter of A. Pen- nier, who conducts grocery store at the corner of Bank and West Porter streets. Their home is at 1928 Bank l street. The accident occurred about 4:30. The car was coming up Bank street and was the same one that 1 struck Gralulla the day before and the same men were in charge, Conduct
 or Collins and Motorman Barrett. The child who was going to her fathcr's store, started to run across the street in front of the trolley. Motorrnan Barrett did not have time to stop the car and consequently it struck the little girl. But, as on the preceding day. l the fender played its part we'll and 1t | nj 1,n v,T cx1.<
 received no injuries. There were few passengers on the car and thinking l that another tragedy had been enacted. 1 they let forth several shrieking cries. Conductor Collins and Motormnn Bar E rett are having good and bad luck; I good because the accidents have not l resulted seriously. bad. inasmuch as they are not at all to be blamed for the l accidents. There are no more careful | employees of the trolley company than I they are.
