Accident to Trolley Car in This Town
 Last Evening.

Gar No 9 of the Naugatuck line met with peculiar accident last eVenlns at the trolley terminus on Main street. The conductor and motorman were Ill the act of returning to Waterbury when the motor box on the forwaru end of the car fell down onto the wheels, wedging them fast and bring ing the car to standstill. The accl- dent occurred at 6:30 and at S:30 the construction gang had 1t in shape to return to Waterbury. Some one re- ported it around that the car had been derailed and large crowds went to the scene of the accident. They were not allowed to remain there very long, how ever, as Officer Malone kept the crowd moving so that there could be no possi- ble chance of disturbance.
 The IN. A. c. and Blue Front teams furnished the artists for the first game at the opera house last evening. The game was fast and exciting.

 The second game was between the Mohawks and Hammer club. The fea- lures were the remarkable blindness of the officials, who did not appear to mo- tice the most serious offenses. Fouls of the worst kind were not called, and the officials appeared to be very lenient with the offenders. There was great deal of unnecessary roughness on the part of Brennan and Grant. Tn this game Grove received 8 serious and painful injury to his right eye. causing him to leave the game.
