North Main St.
 Another rather sensational incident of the night was the stoning of a un- ion bus on North Main street, oppo7 site Spencer avenue. Patrick Flynn was the conductor in charge of the bus and near him on the step stood c. G. Vaughan of Ansonia. The fol lowing persons were i'll the bus at the time: c. G.. Vaughan of Ansonia; T. Fitzachery, 373 Walnut street; II, De borar, 76 Bishop street; Mrs Honniger and Miss Honniger; Mrs James Aubrey of North Main street; Ernest c. Dooley, 965 North Main street; Miss Barnach- cry and father; Miss Susie Coyle, 901 North Main street, and Charles Wea- yer of Phoenix avenue. This occurred about 6:10 o'clock. MT Vaughan stood on the west side of the step and Flynn, the conductor. on the east side, or the side near the Methodist church building. At the time there were many men and women on the street returning from work. A stone was thrown from the west side of the street which flew past MT Vaughan's .face and struck Flynn on the head, raising a large lump. Then general fusillade followed and Mrs Aubrey was hit on the hand and her glove was split and Miss Coyle was struck on the shoulder. Every one of them is willing to substantiate MT Hymns story of the assault

The talk was an informal one on the conditions. con- sider such an insinuation a gross insult to the manufacturers of the city. 1 think know the source of such re- port It was not from the manufac- turers and they will all deny it.' l This forenoon General Frost stated that the night was very quiet, far more so than the night before.
