JOKE ON C0DUCT0R
Youngstsr on Seat Changed Gong and
 Sixnal to Start Followed.

New Haven, Aug 21.-Some young sters who have evidently studied the ways of trolleymen, created consider able amusement on car bound from Savin Rock to this city last night. When the ear reached the Campbell avenue waiting station the motorman stopped and ran into the station to se- cure something to eat. The conductor was busy collecting fares at the time and did not notice that his motOrman had left the car.
 After waiting a moment or two, one of the youngsters in the front seat sounded the gong twice, as is the GUS tom of motormen when they wish to signal the conductor to go ahead. The conductor promptly rang the bell to go ahead. The passengers in the front of the car smiled and the car stood still. Again the boy struck Athe gong and the conductor stopped ringing fares long enough to signal to start When this had been repeated tivs times the conductor ran forward 10 see what the trouble was and was re- ceived with hearty .ha-na's by the pas. sengers in front He returned to his duty of collecting fares, wanting for the motorman to return.
 The latter had seen the whole Oc- currence while eating sandwich in the station. and soon came out, laugh ing at the joke played on the conduc- tor. Climbing into the car, he placed his controller handle in place and rang his gong as signal to go ahead. But the foxy conductor had been fooled before and kept on ringing up fares, paying no attention to the ef forts of the motorman to signal him. Nearly everyone in the car, except the crew, was on to the joke now. and and realized the situation. With an at tempt at knowing smile he pulled the bell cord and the car was In mo ton once more.
