BAD STREET GAR ACCIDENT
NARROW ESCAPE AT HOWARD
 AVENUE BRIDGE.

Car Crashed Over Edge of Bridge
 Tearing Away Guard Fence-Fearly
 PrecIpitated Into Railroad Cut
 Motorman Said to Have Been Drunk
 Disappeared After Accident-Passen-
 gers Untnjured.
 What came near being fatal acci- dent occurred on the Howard avenue bridge at Kimberly avenue shortly af- ter ten o'clock last night. Car Mo- 70 Of the Ferry and State street lines in charge of Motorman William Noonan and Conductor Wrinn was returning from West Haven, and when just at the turn off Kimberly avenue on the bridge the car, which was going at prohibi- ted rate of speed for that spot, left the rails and plungd head on toward the edge of the bridge. The iron fence on the edge of the bridge was completely torn away, but the speed of the car was but little retarded in consequence. Had it not been for the motors the car would have been precipitated into the cut of the Consolidated road about for ty feet below. As 1t was the fencee was thrown onto the tracks and it was necessary to notify the section gang to remove it from the tracks in order that wreck might be averted.
 As it was, seven feet of the car went over the side of the bridge, and it is said that if the car had gone two feet further it would have toppled into the cut. Of the front trucks one wheel went over the edge of the bridge and the motors which run within six or eight inches of the ground, caught on the railing which forms portion of the sidewalk on the bridge and stopped the flight os the car
 Beside the motorman and conductor there were two passengers in the car, but no one was injured with the eX- ception of few bruises.
 The officials of the road cannot eX- plain the reason for the accident in any other way than that the motorman was HOL well, dS IL lo eILlIcly dSdlHSI the rules of the company to run the car around a curve at the rate of speed which that car must have been going to enable it to proceed as far as it did. Immediately after the accident the mo- torman disappeared and a thorough search failed to reveal his whereabouts. The conductor could not explain or give any plausible reason for the oc- lcurrence.
 The car was only slightly damaged.

 the small iron work broken, A large | hole was torn into the sidewalk of the bridge The wrecking crew had the car back on the track in about an hour.

 Roosevelt's proposition for gathering
 here Friday morning of representatives
 of the coal companies and coal oper-

 sponse from number of the gentle
 men to whom invitations were sent. During the afternoon and evening the president received replies to his invita- tons from President Mitchell of the
 mine workers; President Baer of the
 Reading railway and one or two others. MT. Baer's prompt reply to the presi- dents suggestion was particularly gratifying to MT. Roosevelt. MT. Baer has acted as the spokesman for the op- orators in the various statements put forth from time to time in reply to the
 miners representations and it is realiz-
 ized that his influence will be a potent factor in any conferences that may l take place. The president is expressing the keenest interest in the coming gath
 ering and expresses the sincere hope 1 that it will result in steps that will 1 bring about the cessation of the strike.
 President Cassatt of the Pennsylvania is
 among those asked to join in Friday S conference. The president has the greatest respect for MT. Cassatt's well
 known business ability and good judg-
 nnent and is anxious that he should give 1 ho hanoff of ions. No reply had been received from l him tonight though it is not doubted that he will attend.

STUDENTS AND POLICE
CL4SHIYSERIOUS STREET FIGHT
 LAST NIGHT.
Sergeant CrOcker's Eye BIackened by a Freshman on Crown Street, Who Was Later Arrested by PatrOimnn wiII- iams-TwO Other Students Arrested- Trouble Started fin Front of tho Grand nnara
Opera House.

A serious fight between Yale students and the police took place last night through the center of the city, and as result Sergeant Henry M. Crocker of Station No 1 was severely punched and three students were arrested, two of them charged with breach of the peace, the other with obstructing the side walk The men arrested gave their names as Frederick w. Kay, of 39i Temple street; Charles w. Carpenter, of 395 Temple street and Alfred D. Hamill, who said he lived at 2 College street. Hamill was arrested by Police man Herman for obstructing the side walk, and Kay and Carpenter for breach of the peace.
 The trouble started in front of the Grand opera house after the show there had let out. About fifty students gath cred in front of the playhouse and sec ing one of Smedley's big flat trucks in front of the building decided to take possession of it. They piled on and threw the driver from the seat and then took the reins and headed for Church and Crown streets The team had been driven but a few feet when Sergeant Crocker jumped aboard and ordered the men down. As they refused to go, he had to push and throw some of them, finally getting most of the men off the truck. Sergeant Crocker then jumped to the ground and told the driver who 1 had jumped on again to drive to police headquarters This frightened the ! students and most of them jumped off. | Sergeant Crocker was then violently attacked by over a score or more of the l Yale men, who were mostly Sheffield Scientific school freshmen, and in the mix up on Crown street his left eye was blackened by the fist of a big burly l freshman. Patrolmen Williams and Ticrnan were near the spot and as Sergeant Crocker set out for the man he supposed had hit him the other policemen joined in the chase, hundreds of students and townfolks bringing up 1 the rear. Carpenter was the man spotted by the police and he was chas- ed down Church street to Chapel and across the green to Temple street and 1 then to Elm street. Patrolman Will Hams gained on him steadily and over took the student in front of Hendrie l hall. Tiernan was there in short order and Carpenter was marched to head quarters, followed by hundreds ofyell- ing students, who pushed and threw things at the police officers until the po- lice station was reached. Kay and Hamill were gathered in on the way to headquarters and all three were later released on bail of $t00. furnished by Attorney Isaac Wolfe. They will come before the city court this morning.
 Carpenter is feet 3 S-4 tall and was identified by Sergeant Crocker as the man who struck him. He and Kay are freshman in the Scientific school and Hamill is a sophomore.
 It is not believed that the student who
 gave the name Kay gave his right
 name.
