IhroWn Between Two Trolley Cars at
 Center Yesterday.
 Daniel Donovan of Vine street came near being killed in a trolley ac- cident yesterday. He was changing cars at Exchange place about noon and was stepping from the South Main street car to the North Main street car to go up North Main street. Exactly as he put his foot on the running board of the North Main street car the conductor. who evidently must not have seen him, rung the bell for the car to go ahead and the notorman responded. Dono- van was thrown lengthwise to the ground between the two cars and it is miracle he was not killed or hurt more than he was. TheEe is just about room enough between the North Main and South Main street cars when they stop at Exchange place for one to fall through, otherwise Donovan would have been crushed badly. As 1t was it is a wonder ha was not ground to pieces. He got bad wound on the right temple, the right side of his face was all scratched. his chin was torn and crushed and his neck torn also. From the point of his chin to the right ear was one long series of cuts and tears and all the teeth on the right side of his mouth were loosened. He was ter ribly done up. The shock was also vcry severe. Had he put out his handa to save himself they would have un- questionably been cut off Donovan was Immediately picked up, hustled into hack and taken to Dr Gravegs office where his wounds were attend ed tn.

 John McElligott, the well known coal dealer, has always been a firm believer in the value of advertising in the Dem ocrat. But he did not know that this paper is sent all over this wide hem isphere and was rather surprised few days ago to receive the following let ter from Montreal: Having come across your name and advertisement in the Waterbury Evening Democrat, I have taken the first opportunity to drop you a few lines. I wish to in form you that bear the same name as yourself and I had brother, John, who left Ireland years ago, and have lost all trace of him. I think it wa from Roscrea, County Tipperary, that he left. I have made inquiries before and was informed that a man with such name had been shot then believed that he was dead. was young when I heard that news and I was in England at the time. I may here state that father and mother died in Roscrea and are buried there. Father was in the R. I. constabulary As soon as I saw your name it gave me quite start and. strange to say, it was AIS OWL UOy, WuOSe udIH0 IS JOllH, also. that drew my attention to it. I said could it be possible that you are my brother or perhaps his son. I could not rest if I did not drop you few lines in order to satisfy myself Win you please drop me a few lines, no matter if there is no connection at all? There will be no harm done. James McHligott, 164 Richardson street, Pt St Charles, Montreal. P. S.. Would be glad to see you any time you come this way am sending you an old photo of my brother John. It was taken in America and I think came with the last letter we had from him. It might be the means of help ing you. Please drop me line, as I ana very anxious about it.
