silas, better known as Captain Crowell,
conductor on the Hartford avenue route,
and Benjamin Cargin. conductor on the
Plainfeld street route. are confined to
their home by injuries received by falling
on the ice this morning.
Both OF these we'll known conductors
are among those who begin their days
work at an early hour. and were on their
way to the car station when they were
injured.
Mr. Cargin at first was supposed to be
severely injured for he fell backwords
and struck on his head, which for a time
stunned him. and those who went TO his
assistance found blood streaming from
cash.
He was taken home and messengers
were sent out for a surgeon, but not one
could be found at that early hour. Later
DR.. Cameron from the center OF the city
was found, and he responded. but before
he reached Mr.. Cargin's home DR.. u. Z.
Murphy was there and cared for the In
jured man.
The streets and sidewalks have not
been in more dangerous condition this
winter than they were at about $50 this
morning, for the rain had at that time
the bed OF ice and with the thin sheet
OF water over the ice made walking
nearly impossible.
The mill help went tumbling about the
streets in a wild fashion and the milkmen
report that they were unable 70 serve but
few OF their customers, especially those
who reside on side streets.
THE MISSING WOOL.
The MANAGEMENT of the Earnscliff
mills have not yet found any trace OF the
80, 900 pounds OF finished wool that was
missed few days ago.
Today all OF the cloth in the mills and
at the office OF the company In New York
will be weighed, and 1t is expected that
some trace Of IL will be found.
As was stated In The News when the
loss was discovered, the mill management
does not for a moment think that so large
amount OF wool could possibly have been
stolen, but think that perhaps where
some cloth should weigh ID or Is ounces
10 the yard IL has been made much
heavier and that some purchasers have
received a much heavier article than they
have paid for. and In weighing the cloth
today they are In hopes 70 ind the mis-
take.
KEEP DOORWAY CLEAR.
day or 20 ago the agent of Irons
block issued orders to the police to
have the large door leading TO the upper
part Of the building locked at o'clock
and now he wants the police to keep the
doorways and the front Of all of the
stores free from loungers, no matter who
they may be.
The orders appears TO apply more to
conductors and motormen, and one OF
the latter who had just made a purchase
I'm one OF the stores stood In the doorway
for a moment and according TO his state
ment was ordered to move on, and when
he asked why was informed by the patrol
man that he had orders from headquar-
ters TO allow no one TO stand In the door
WAYS: the motormsn went into the store
