FINGERS FROZEN.
Woman Throwing Snowballs Comes
 to Grief.

Denver. Aug 1S.-One of the most peculiar cases that have ever come un- der the observation of Denver phy- sican came to the office of Dr H. H. Martin Wednesday night. Mrs Geo Rold of Chicago was up on Rollius Pass, on the Moffat road, Wednesday, and dis. ported in the snow until the train went to Arrowhead and started back to Denver. It leaves the passenger two hours and forty minutes on the bleak top of the pass, and all around it Is wide expanse of snow. The tempta- tion to make balls of the summer snow to pelt her companions was too great to be resisted, and Mrs Rold enjoyed the novelty to the full. When she boarded the train for home she had not been out of the reach of snow for minute during the entire time the train had been at the top of the divide.
 Mrs Rold soon discovered her fingers were frost-bitten. Arriving in Denver her hands were badly swollen and she was driven at once to the office of Dr Martin. The fingers of the hands were swollen and the flesh had turned blue. The pain was very severe. and it will be a week. the doctor says, before Mrs Rold can use her hands.

BEACON FALLS LINE
Commis sioners Grant Permit But
 Order Bridge Built.

The railroad commissioners yester- day rendered their decision on the pc tition filed by the Consolidated rail road July P. in which the company asked permission to make certain al terations in the railroad line of the Naugatuck Railroad company at Bea- con Falls, which line is leased by them. The permission is given but the commissioners also order that other changes be made in addition to those the company prescribed in their petition.
 A hearing on the petition was held at the Beacon Falls railroad station August 1 and all the interested par ties were represented. The finding of the commissioners says in part: We do hereby approve the altera- tions and changes in the location of the line and road of the Naugatuch Railroad company at Beacon Falls so as to change the radius of the curves. width of the layout. extent of the de pot grounds. slopes and embankment: 10 straighten and improve the lines and extend the lines; also to add to the number of main tracks as pro- posed
 Public safety requires and we or der that the highways that cross tie railroad south and north of the pres ent passenger station be changed SO that instead of crossing the said tracks at grade. as at present, they be carried on the westerly side. north erly for the width of fifty feet from a connection with the present highway to a point opposite station 961 and that they be carried over said railroad on a bridge with width of thirty feet and with clear headrOom above said railroad of eighteen feet; said highway shall be carried southeast erly from the easterly side of the bridge with width of forty feet to the approach to the bridge over the Naugatuck river When. these are completed the grade crossings shall be discontinued.
 "All costs of these alterations. in- cluding damages paid to land owners. shall be paid by the petitioner"

MAD RUNAWAY
harkstman's Team nsds Thints
 Lively on South Main Street.

A horse belonging to W. E. Wal- colt, a Simonsville marketman, made things lively for a time on South Main street yesterday afternoon and came dangerously near making a call upon George Mulligan, the ball player, who conducts cafe In the Healey block, at the corner of South Main and Jewelry streets. The horse was being driven up South Main street and had reached point north of Sandland place when one of the for ward wheels fell off, letting the traces against the animals heels, scar ing it so badly 1t made mad plunge forward and started off at top speed. The driver was equal to the situation and handled the ribbons to good ad- vantage until the vehicle tipped over in the network of trolley tracks oppo- site Jewelry street, throwing the man and a small boy, who occupied the seat with him, onto the pavement. Then the horse dashed across the road and onto the sidewalk, dragging the upturned wagon after it, and was about to enter Mulligan's cafe when it turned sharply, the point of the shaft cutting piece out of brick beside the window sill. and headed northward. battering another brick at the entrance to the upper floors of the block This shock snapped the traces and the horse got free and scampered off, leaving the wagon directly oppo- site John Healey's South End grocery. The horse continued as far as the new St Ann's church. where a couple of big trucks formed barrier and it was captured. The man and his youthful companion had had close call for their lives. and people who were on the sidewalks never before moved about with such rapidty to make room for anything. Nobody was seriously hurt and the damage to the rig was not serious. At first it was thought that the boy was badly injured, but after he was picked up and squeezed his knee once or twice he hopped about all right and didn't appear to be much the worse for the experience. Police Officer Madden. a few good la dies and a number of men flocked around and rendered such assistance as was necessary.

 The residents of this section are patiently awaiting the decision of the

TWO FIRES YESTERDAY
voluntssr Firsmsn Did Good Work at
 Diamond Bettline Works.

Two fires were discovered in the Diamond Bottling works, SlmOnsville. yesterday, one about 5 o'clock in the afternoon and the other at $40 in the evening. The first was eXtinguished by Foreman Goodwin and the second was more serious, and the Eagle Brew ing Co.'S whistle sounded an alarm, bringing out the Simonsville volunteer company in command of Assistant Foreman William Wood. Their hose was too short to do effective work and Supernumerary Officer Melton, who discovered the blaze, sent ill q still alarm to the LeavenwOrth street house. The chemical engine was sent to the rescue and after it got working the blaze was soon under control. The volunteer fire company did good ser vice and when people think it over they will see that such an Organlza- ton is great blessing ill the ulstrict. It is believed that both fires were of incendiary origin and investigation made by Mir Goodwin and Detective Kennaugh disclosed a barrei packed with excelsior with two holes in the bottom of the barrel into which strings tied to matches had been fitted. A pull on the string would be sure to set some of the matches burning and the blaze would quickly follow. The matter is being looked up, but it is doubtful if the guilty parties will be discovered. Officers Leroy and Vel ton remained on duty in the vicinity all night. The fire protection in that entire district is miserable and it is no wonder that nearly every property owner in that part of the town feels that the city has not done anything like the square thing in refusing to comply with the constant appeals made to them for years for better protection from fire. both in the inter- est of property and human life.
 The Diamond Bottling works belong to Eugene l.. Jacques.
