WATERBURY TEAM GOT STUCK. Trolley Car Hitched On and Pulled
 Wagon Out of the Mud.

Horsemen and others witnessed an exhibition near Union City yesterday which convinced them that the horse is not in it with electricity when it comes to real hard pulling. The borough of Naugatuck is constructing a sewer in the main thoroughfare leading from Waterbury to that place and the work is now completed to a point this side of what is known as Weber'S saloon. Here the trolley tracks run in the street and between the ditch and the trolley there was precious little room for teams. It was this that caused a double team belonging to J. D. Dewell & Go of Waterbury to get stuck ill the soft dirt, thus creating block that reach- ed several hundred feet on both sides. An additional pair of horses were se- cured, but although the four animals pulled with all their might they were not able to haul the wagon out of the dirt. Things were beginning to loola like open war on the part of people
 who were i'll hurry, put could not pass, when trolley car came along
 and after taking in the situation the
 metorman asked the driver to take the uOlSIo lO OuC dSlNiC stllu lcb ulDi udf e
 all the chains he could scare up. This was done and in a jiffy the chains
 were coupled together, hitched to the wagon and then attached to the trol- | ley car. The power was then turned
 on gently. The next thing the specs tators knew the chain. although a stout one, was snapped ill two with ! the same ease as a woman breaks U
 bit of thread. A stout rope was then l secured and with this securely tied to
 the wagon and coupled to the car the
 wagon, load and all, was dragged out
 of the hole without apparent extra
 effort on the part of the trolley. AS soon as the wagon had reached firm ground the crowd cheered, but the
 horses looked rather sheepish and i6
 one could divine their thoughts at that time the chances are that they were
 asking each other if the horse had not outlived his days of usefulness as S
 beast of burden.

 Rochester, N. Y, May 2.-The coal drivers strike is assuming serious pro- portions. It was not ten hours after the strike was declared before it's ef- feet was being felt.

CARPENTERS WON STRIKE.

The New Britain carpenters returns ed to work this morning, having set- tied their differences with the master builders. They will receive the raise in wages and the reduction ill hours they asked for and also won their point regarding apprentices. The clause which had caused the difficulty, over the journeymen's taking work for themselves outside their work for the contractors, remains, the men agreeing not to take any contracts for themselves, but to turn them over td their employers. This will not pre- vent them from doing small jobs, how- ever.
