THROWN OUT
Trolley Car Struck Lounsbury's Car
 riage on South Main Street.

On the South Main street line last evening q trolley car ran down q horse and carriage and the latter Was badly damaged The occupants of the carriage, MT and Mrs Lounsbury, of Naugatuek, were thrown from the vehicle but were not severely injured. The accident happened about 10:30 o'clock between Clay and Dover streets. The car which was going southward was said to be travelling at rapid rate when the smashup oc- cured. Some say that the motorman rang the gong, while as usual others assert that the bell was not sounded until the car was almost upon the car riage At any rate the car banged Into the carriage and dragged it aud the horse a distance of about 60 feet before the car was brought to halt. The wheels on the wagon were de mOlished and the shafts received the same fate. The horse was not injur- ed neither were Mir or Mrs Lounsbury. At the point where the accident nap pened there is not an cverabundance of light and this may have been the cause of it.

George Miller of West Liberty street is home after q three months stay at the Gaylord sanitarium at Wallingford. When he entered the in stitution he was as thin as a rail; you would hardly recognize him now. He gained twenty-eight pounds and looks like a man that never knew what it meant to be in poor health. AIr Miller says there is no more comfortable place to rest than out of doors. You don't mind it. he said to a reporter. Nwhen you get used to it. The first snow we had this winter covered the clothing on me with about three inches of nice white flakes. but when I got up 1 shook it off and then went and had a cold shower bath, and after I got my clothes on I had an appetite that would have done justice to that of woodchopper I used to think it out of the question for person t0 sleep out of doors i'll the winter sea son. but I don't think So any more.

IN POLICE COURT
BootbIacks in Saloons Not Called
 Loiterers By Judge Burpee.

Ill the city court this morning Judge Burpee made ruling which is likely to play n prominent part in the pres. ent crusade against allowing boot blacks to have their chairs inside sa- looms. Andrew Bolin and Adolph An derson, who conduct saloon at 202 South Main street, were charged with i allowing 12-year-old boy to loiter Attorney Pierce presented the case and Officer Brearton testified that he has seen a young fellow in the bootblack chair on several occasions. The ac- 1 cused admitted that the boy was there, but said he was there to take care of the chair for his father. Pierce said that it made no difference what he was there for and continued: This bootblack business is getting to be nuisance and should be stopped"
 But, Mir Pierce" said his honor, 'can you call this lettering? Was not that boy there on business? Could you say that I am loitering when am sitting in my office waiting for a client?'
 T should think when a boy or any person stays around place for half hour or more doing nothing that he can be said to be loitering. no matter what his ultimate purpose is.'
 You don't mean to tell me that these men when they are behind the bar waiting to serve drinks are loiter- ing, do you?'
 Tn the strict interpretation of the word I think they are," was the start ling reply from the liquor prosecuting attorney.
 T don't agree with you" replied Judge Burpee, but will continue the matter for week and give it my con sideration.'
 Joseph Kelly was found drunk on Riverside street last evening and was brought in by Officer Cronan. He was given thirty days in jail. and when he was being taken out cried: Say, ain't you fellows going to let me ap- peal this caseW
 Martin Bowling was charged with wife beating. Mrs Bowling took the stand and said although her husband is an industrious man, he drinks all his money and she is compelled to sup. port her two children. Bowling did not say n word. He was given sJ and costs and sent to jail for three months.
 Patrick Stack of Bridge street was another one charged with beating his wife. Officer Halpin said he was called to the Stacks house on Ridge street last evening about 7:15. but he saw no disturbance, but as Mrs Stack wanted her husband arrested he com piled with her request. Mrs Stack said her husband locked her out and on Sunday hit her in the eye with a knife. She seemed to be very talka. tive and it was hard for the court to shut her up. Lizzie Brown. a step child. said that Mrs Stack was locked out. but was not struck. The case was continued for a week.

'LEPPER" HUGHES GAME.
Famous Old Pedestrian Challenges
 Anybody to Race.

Anybody to Race.
 Albert Cory. the Chicago runner who is contemplating a contest from the Windy City to New York, has an ac- cepter of his open challenge in John Hughes. better known as the ..Lep- per" Hughes came forward yester- day and although he is fifty-six years old. announced that he would give Cory 50-mile start from Chicago and wager a thousand dollars he would reach the Hoboken ferry first.
 Hughes prefers however, a ninety mile contest. Cory recently failed to run the 20 miles from Milwaukee to Chicago in less than eighteen hours, and the '.Lepper'~>claims he can do it in a walk. Hughes's records, made in his younger days. are 56S miles in 6 days, and 150 miles in B hours and 15 minutes.
 With every hair and his mustache turned gray Hughes stood erect with his fists clenched at his side and said determinedly:
 If Cory won't acknowledge his open challenge then I'll challenge him."
 Hughes then wrote and signed the following:
 T challenge Mir Cory or any other man in the world to travel week or more from Chicago to New York or from New York to San Francisco. Cory can't run from Chicago to New York in two weeks. I will bet any man $500 that I can walk 90 miles in eight hours, which Mir Cory failed to dO."
