C. R. & |. co SUED.
Insurance Agent Smith Asks
 Damages of $5,O00.
KNOCKED DOWN BY TROLLEY.

He Claims to Have Been Injured t0 the Above Amount-Accident Hap- pened on the Miller & Peck Crossing Some Time Ago Charles Isepanier Sues the City for $1OO for Services. He Claims, as Nurse at Isolation Hospital.
 A suit for $5,0OO was entered this morning against the Connecticut Rail-
 way and Lighting company by Judge
 Peasley, representing Howard F.
 Smith, an insurance agent with offices in the Apothecaries' Hall company's
 building. Some mouths ago MT Smith
 was run down by a trolley car on Elk change place, through the negligence of the conductor and motorman, he claims. The incident happened in the afternoon and created great excite ment, as it was thought and reported that a man had been killed. It seems that MT Smith in some way got be- tween team and trolley car near the crossing opposite Miller & PeclS's store. If he attempted to get out of the way of one he would have to get in the way of the other. He there- fore stood between them and was knocked down by the trolley car It was wonder he was not killed He was rolled some distance but he was not much hurt. After getting on his feet he was again knocked down and he fell against the fender. He was cut about the face and lower parts of the body. He now goes about the streets with the aid of crutches.
 Charles Trepanier has entered suit against the city for $1OO. Trepanier's claim is for. services as nurse rendered at the isolation hospital during the smallpox epidemic. He sent a bill to the board of health for $114, but that body cut it down to $14 on the grounds that it was not earned. This sum he refused to take and the suit Is the result. His counsel is Judge Peasley. There is nothing alarming in the complaint. The suit is drawn up on common counts and is returns able to the city court in September.

snow It was impossible TO see a hundred

The impact threw the two engines clear
