Charles Moser Drives to Town.

Charles Moser, the engineer, who
was injured by the collapsing of a
bridge at Chulaskoy, while crossing
with his traction engine last Thurs
day, was able to drive up to this city
yesterday morning He still suffers
considerably from the effects of the
accident, his worst injury consisting
of bad bruise ON the left hip. Con
sidering the dreadful peril to which
he was exposed by being pinned be
tween the hot boiler and the water
tank which fell upon him, his escape
from death is nothing short of prov
idential.
Mr.. Moser yesterday said his engine
was still under the bridge, but that it
had been got right side up and that
the bank had been levelled down some
what, so that but little more remains
than to fire up the engine and to run
it up onto the public road with its
own steam

The Early Autumn Days.

1t is more than probable that we
will have some warm days before Oct
obcr comes and goes, but they are not
likely to continue long, while the
evenings will be cool and pleasant. So
that any discomforts that may cone
by reason of the heat in mid day Will
be more than counter balanced by the
temperature of the other portions Of
the day. But all the indications point
to fine autumn period and as the
summer was far below the average in
temperature, we are likely to have a
prolonged autumn. If this be the
case, such weather viii bc welcomed.
There is no period in the year more
delightful than this, so the people who
will get away from home often for
rambles in the woods and fields Will
find the benefit to b. great. 1t is a
delightful time in which to commune
with Nature, for the earth is very at
traotivc, the temperature of the air Is
fitted foI ramblc while the cOndi
tions are inviting and exhilarating.
1t will pay to take a day off occas-
iOnallv in the autumn season. 1t will
give health and buoyaucy, will give
one to the system and brightness to
the eye Get out of the town into the
country these days

THE PROPOSED
TROLLEY LINE

Vile and all eyes seem turned to the
locality along Bloom road where an
effort is being made to secure the full
right of way
a representative of the American
Saturday enjoyed a ride along
Bloom road and found an opportunity
to converse with a number of tho
residents. Judging from the senti-
ment expressed by the farmers, which
is almost wholly in favor of grant
ing the right of way, opposition seems
to have narrowed down perceptibly.
The degree Of enthusiasm is quite
remarkable and the farmers are look
ing forward to brighter days when
the trolley shall bring new pleasures
to life in the country. They all APP
preciato the fact that the electric rail
way will enhance the value of their
property, but more than this, they re-
allze that it will be an agency to de-
vclop the social and intellectual side
of thuir natures. This was brought out

ARRESTED ON CIVIL SUIT.
Mir ortone Said He Had No Interview
 With a Reporter.


 A. 0rtone, leader of the Italian hand, was arrested last night by Con- stable Pryor on civil suit brought by Attorney Bauby in behalf of Sal vatore Di Napoli, who claimed $10O0 for defamation of character The suit was the result of an alleged in- terview by A. Ortone which appeared in local paper few days ago. The interview was as follows:
 We made no agreement to play for the Italian United society. We were not hired by them and we would not play for that man Di Napoli You can ask any man in the band what he thinks about him and he will say that he would not play for him under any cir cumstances."
 Mir Di Napoli claims that such an ar ticle defamed his reputation and &C., cordingly brought suit.
 After the arrest was made last night MT Di Napoli demanded a public re- traction. Mr Ortone said that he never had any interview with any reporter and did not make the statement cred fted to him. But to avoid all trouble ne was willing to make a public re- traction. So the matter was amicabIy adjusted.
 The funny part of the affair is that .untfl the alleged interview appeared essrs Ortone and Di Napoli were the st If friends The former lnstructs e latter hiIdreu in m11sics

EXTENSION oF wArRR MAIN.
Will Be Great Benefit to Sylvan Ave
 nue and Luke Street

Will Be a Great Benefit to Sylvan Ave
 nue and Luke Street.
 To-day Contractor McAanus com pleted the work Of extending the water main in Sylvan avenue from Luke street to within a couple of hundred feet of the old city line. Two hydrants have been set. 1t is great benefit to that part of the town and will in some way make amends for the setback it received last summer when three handsome private residences were burned to the ground largely because there was no fire protection. At the present. time two or three new boxes in that section would give such fire protection as it ought to have, but the department of public safety thinks the lone box that stands at Rye and Bald win streets is sufficient. Wonder if 1t ever occurred to the officials having charge of such matters that there is but one box in that whole district, bounded north on Stone street, south on the old town line, east on Dublin street and weSt on South Main street. It looks as if property owners had bet ter not be quite so modest and ask for a $20,000 engine house instead of a 1p%OV OOAs kJOLhE VI LllE IIS COIuAlIS- sioners say the place is not thickly set tied. Of course it isn't and it is not likely to catch up with the procession unless the department of safety gives 1t more attention In the future than 1t has in the past. It has an excellent water, light and sewer service, has beautiful streets that cost less for maintenance than those In any other part of the city, but 1t is ''lame'' in the matter of fire protection, and no doubt this is why it is handicapped in keep ing up with the procession. But the residents have not yet abandoned the hope of finding relief in this respect, and all feel confident that the merit Of their claim cannot remain unrecognized much longer. They are good sprinters, too but there is limit to their speed, and a run Of half a mile to a fire box Ia to much for them.
