 cident-WOman's Condition Serious.
 One of the most serious automobile accidents that has occurred in this city, and one that may result fatally, occurred last evening on State street, near Audubon. A machine occupied by Alfred Johnson, proprietor of the Sterling House of 674 Chapel street, MT. and Mrs. Arthur Hermann of 175 Chapel street and two Hartford ladies, friends of Mrs. Hermann, ran down an elderly woman, Mary Barno, or Barro, of 1O7S State street. near Neck bridge. The drivers of the machine were attempting to dodge an electric car on State street which had turned at the curve at Grove street, when the woman, who was crossing the street, was struck. It is claimed that the automobile was going quite slowly at the, time.
 The police ambulance was speedily summoned and was soon upon the spot. Meanwhile the occupants of the automobile had alighted and were do- inc s,, T the injured woman. When the ambu- lance arrived they assisted in putting her into it. She was taken to the New Haven hospital.
 At the hospital it was found that her injuries were of very serious na- ture. Her collar bone was broken and she had five ribs on the right and three on the left broken, in addition to a number of contusions. She also suf- Tered seriously from the shock. It was reported late last night that her condition was very critical. She was not unconscious, however.
 Mary Barno said that she lived at 1078 State street and that she was 61 years old.
 Meanwhile MT. Johnson and MT. Hermann went to the Grand avenue police precinct in the automobile and gave their names and addresses. They were not held as the affair was purely an accident. They. exceedingly, regret ted the unfortunate affair, and besides doing all that was possible to relieve the injured woman at the time, stated that they would gladly pay all ex- penses accruing from the accident. They said that the automobile was go- ing slowly at the time in the effort to avoid the approaching car.

After Months of Investigation in Nor way and Sweden the CuIprit is Found

to the Department.

New York, July 25.-A search of months for registered letter thief in Norway and Sweden ended dramatical- Iy to-day in New York with the arrest of John J. Callahan, chief clerk of the foreign branch of the general postothee' The chief clerk, who has been Ill the service thirteen years, was charged with abstracting mail from foreign reg istered letters. He was arraigned be- fore United States Commissioner Shields and gave bail in the sum Of $2,50O for examination. s. .. i Last fall complaints from Norway and Sweden came to the United States postal authorities stating that register. ed letters reached their destination there with their valuable contents ab- stracted. All these rifled letters passed over enc certain railway line in Swe- den. This peculiar fact, still unex- 1 plained, misled the detectives for many weeks, until by a system of test letters 1 to Norwegian and Swedish points all suspicion was lifted from the railroad.
 Thereupon the letter test was focused upon the United States officials. Begin ming with the humblest office clerks, the inspectors worked slowly upward find- ing all the minor officials honest. Very reluctantly then a marked letter ad- dressed to Sweden and containing a White Star steamship ticket was mail ed with orders that the chief clerk be watched for possession of the ticket if it did not reach its destination, The in- spectors charged that this ticket re-
 mained in New York under circum- stances that warrant Chief Clerk Calla- hans arrest. The chief clerk ranks next to the superintendent and his arrest was a shock to the department

This will result in relieving the quarantines which Mississippi had placed against the whole state and which Dr. Tabor, of Texas, threatened. Lieutenant Colo nel Maus, U. s. A., has sent his report to Lieutenant-Colonel Chaffee as to the Jackson barracks, and tomorrow will inspect Fort St. Philip. He sees no reason to remove the troops.

 London, July 26.-The members of the opposition in the house of commons. practically led by John Redmond, the nationalist leader, who was the main. spring of the recent defeat of the gov- ernment, yesterday inaugurated their threatened plan of making government business impossible and in pursuance of which they managed to keep the house in stormy session until 3 o'clock this morning, compelling Premier Balfour to have. constant recourse to closure as the only means of advancing business. Supporters of the government, warned. by the recent disaster, Loyalty stood by MT Balfour, maintaining majority in the neighborhood of sixty. The phase of MT. Redmond s obstructionist tactics is likely to arouse great resentment It consisted in blocking private bills for en- terprises promoted at vast expense by municipalities and commercial cornpan- ies, for public works, such as railroads and tramways, No less than twenty seven such bills were blocked yesterday, the effect being to delay their operation for a whole year.
