Mrs. W. F. Whitney and daughter Helen had a narrow escape from seri- ous and perhaps fatal injury yesterday afternoon near the corner of Colony and Quinnipiac streets. Mrs. Whitney and daughter were coming up Colony street in a carriage, when her horse
 became frightened by a motor cycle which was coming up Colony street. The horse was inclined to run, but was kept under control by Mrs. Whitney until Quinnipiac street was reached,
 when the Center street electric car came along and Mrs. Whitney, to avoid a collision, turned the horse down Quinnipiac street. The rear wheel of the carriage struck the car track and
 was dfshed, and Mrs. Whitney and her
 daughter were thrown out on the car
 track. The motorman brought the car
 to stop just in time to prevent seri- ous accident. Mrs. Whitney and Helen
 were somewhat shaken up, but not se-
 riously injured. The horse started to run, but the carriage struck a post at
 the corner of the triangle plot near the
 depot, breaking some of the harness,
 but not otherwise doing any damage.
 The horse was stopped. The motor cy- cle, the cause of all the trouble, kept on
 up Colony street at a fast rate of speed and the driver did not trouble himself
 to stop and see what damage, if any,
 was done.
 There was quite an accident at Judd s factory late yesterday afternoon. One
 of the workmen, William Menola, was caught by his clothing on a revolving shafting and wound up, but luckily es- capped serious injury, although his arm and shoulder were considerably bruised and his clothing torn to shreds. Will liam Farmer, who was near by, saw the accident and in trying to stop the ma chinery was struck in the head by the lever, cutting quite a gssh. Dr. Me- Gaughey attended.
