 The windows of the trolley cars are receiving lots of attention to-day. This afternoon as one of the cars was pass Ing In front of the new buiIdinrs along Bank street a fusillade of mis- sles came from within one of the new buildings which one no one knows. Two of the windows were broken.
 There was a good deal of fun on North square this noon. Two women took the car at the crossing above the watering trough, intending to go north ward. They were greatly surprised upon finding they could go no further than the switch near HilI street. They came back on the return trip and after leaving the car at the point where they boarded it they gave the motorman and conductor large slice of two elouuent minds in the presence of a large crowd. Manager SeweIl may consider it triumph to be able to operate tha cars on two or three of the lines but as n prominent citizen remarked: Tt is n very empty triumph" Manager Sew ell may run the cars on all tho lines but whee Nood will it do. Not V hun dred people rode on the cars yester- day and to-day. It's about time MT Sewell got next to himself. There wasn't one passenger on the Bank street car which left the center at 12:07 and which is generally packed.
 No one misses the trolley cars more than two or three young ladies in Hfiis city who teach in the Waferyille school. They take the train for WatervilIe in the morning, but in the evening they walk all the way home, even though the trolley cars are now running on the Waterville line. The young ladies say that walking for such distance is the best of exercise and .are thinking of resigning their physical culture class. 1t is a money saver also. The only trouble is that they will have to wear heavier shoes.
 This noon one of the coIored coojra at the car barn undertook to get can of beer for the men. He tried in vain at two or three of the saloons, but he finally was successful. He was re- l cognized as one of the cooks for the | non-union men and that was the req son he was refused the beer. As he was issuing from the saloon where he l finally got the beer, he was accosted by young man who informed the | r <,f AI.o S man. Then rush was made upon him, the can of beer taken and it's contents thrown on the floor. He re- turned to the barn without either can 1 Or beer.
 Only the presence of the police in | strong numbers at various points along the routes where the trolley cars are ! being operated is preventing stronger and more pronounced acts of hostility towards the strike breakers. The pub- lie is in full sympathy with the ystrik- CTS and many persons would like to show their utter contempt for the men who are attempting to run the cars l by ducking them in the nearest frog tpond. The feeling of the sympathiz- CTS of the striking trolleymen is run ming high. It is growing stronger and stronger each day. This feeling of resentment against the would be strike breakers was strongly shown during the noon hour to-day. As q car was coming down North Main street, in front of the plant of the Waterbury Manufacturing Go, about. ] 12 :45. a crowd of men who were standing along the street commenced. to shout and jeer and hoot at the men running the car They went further and threw stones or pieces of ice at the car breaking two or three win-. dows. Again. on Bank street, in i front of O.. A. Jackson's stone yard. n team got in front of q car and the driver refused to get out of the way
 for several minutes. A big crowd 1 gathered around and there was con- siderable excitement for a time.
