WALL
CAVED IN
Several Rods of Track on TroIIy
Line out of Commission.

AS the trolly car that leaves Ben
nington daily at $50 a. m. was near
ing North Bennington Wednesday
morning it collided with a work car
running at full speed down Paper Mill
Hill. Moterman Austin applied the
brakes but was unable to fully stop
the west bound car but stood at his
post bravely till the last.
There were quite number of people
on the car most of them young ladies
on their way to work and while no
one was hurt the young ladies feel that
it was only through the efficient work
and bravery of Moterman Austin that
they were saved from serious injury.
The accident is said to have been
caused by the neglect Of the conductor
of an east bound car which the work
car was following to properly notify
the crew of the west bound car which
they met at the Cushman switch.
Later in the day the wall on which
the track runs at the place where the
collision occurred, caved in for a dis
tance of two and one half rods. 1t is
supposed the cave in was caused by
the jar of the collision.

KENNEL LICENSES.
Dog Breeders Keep Clerks In City Clerks
Office Busy for a Few Days.

The time allowed for dog breeders TO
obtain licenses for their canine pets as
inmates OF a kennel will expire with the
present month, after which time, instead
OF SO, IL may cost some OF them 300 OF
more TO license the same number OF dogs.
A kennel license Is designed TO benefit
breeders OF dogs, who exhibit them an
nually and who must exercise certain
precautions regarding permitting the ami
NAL to run the streets unattended by the
owner or keeper. 1t was through the
Kennel club that the dog law was amend
ed to allow breeders TO engage in that
pursuit as the system OF license fees UNI
der It before was such as TO be almost
prohibitive except to the very wealthy.
Now IL the breeder makes an anfdavit
to the effect that he raises dogs and ex-
hibits them each year he may get ken
mel license for $40
Should the fellow that has always had
n kennel license grow absent minded and
forget TO appear at the city hall until
number of such In other years, then he
has the privilege OF paying the regular
fee for licensing his male and female
dogs separately. and IL he. has 10 or 20
of the animals as many do. then IL Is
hound TO be extensive.

NELSON CASE
HEARD ON
DEMURRER

The suits brought by James s. Nelson
against the NarTagansett Electric Hght-
ing company and Annie D. Nelson against
the same were argued in the appellate d.
vision OF the supreme court today on
defendants denurrerers TO plainins de-
claration.
II "a alleged in Mrs Nelson's deciara-
ton that on June 10. 1901. defendant had
hanging az the corner OF Dorrance and
Westminster streets an electric light sur
rounded by a glass globe and negligent
ly had placed the same IN too close prox-
unity 20 an overhead trolley wire OF the

glass globe was broken by the pole OF

IL was going round a curve. Pieces OF
the glass that fell badly injured her
Mr. Nelson sues to recover for the loss
Of hts wife's services and the expenses
incidental 10 her injuries
Defendant demurred on two grounds
First that II appears from the declara-
tions that the alleged negligence was not
the proximate cause Of the injury ana
second that Il appears In said declarations
that the defendant was not negligent.
The briefs OF counsel In the case were
interesting in plaintiffs counsel arguing
amongst other points that IL Is a well
known fact that trolley poles Jump the
wire from various causes. particularly In
going around curves and 10 permit gless
globe 10 he 80 near the trolley wire that
a pole when IL jumps the wire as II IL
apt 10 do, may strike ths globe and
breaking Il causing glass TO fall on pedes-
trians is clearly guilty OF negligence. on
the other hand defendants counsel say
that IL is a mater OF common knowledge,
apparent upon slight observation that
while electric cars are proceeding around
curves or across drawbridges, or in other
places where the passage OF the trolley
pole along the overhead wire IL not free
and clear it is customary for the conduc-
tor 70 hold the rope attached 10 the pole
10 prevent II from flying from the wire
and defendant had right TO presume
this custom would be followed when It set
this light.
