given TO much speaking BY the way,

Nothing seemed TO be forgotten, all

touched upon and every conscience

pays him the tribute of being one of

JUMPED THE TRACK.
Trolley Car Made an Effort to Go
 Up James Street.

With crash that could be heard for some distance away, the last car on the Bank street line, after jump ing the track at James street last evening, banged into the telegraph pole in front of Consellio's shoe shop and put the pole out of business. The car swung clear across the street and also dashed into the iron pole on the opposite side. The car was in charge of Motorman Hogan and was on it's last trip, the hour being 12 o'clock. It was going along at a fair speed when it~reached the point mentioned above, where there is a sharp turn. Without any warning the car left the rails and would have gone tearing through the repair shop if it were not for the telegraph pole
 Consellio, who was asleep in the rear of his store, slept soundly throughout the excitement, but this morning he almost tainted when he saw what a narrow escape he and his store had.
 The car was not badly damaged, nor was the motofman injured. The telegraph pole broke near the top from the force of the blow and 2 new one had to be put down to-day.
 The accident of last evening only goes to show that even the trolley cars, although inanimate, know that the Brooklyn people are fighting for their rights and consequently by the action of the car last evening it is evident that the cars will go up James street whether the company likes it or not. The Brooklyn resi- dents say that the car tried to make James street last evening, but missed it by a hair. Probably after a few more chances the cars can make the jump without demolishing any of Horrigan's property.

DEVELOPMENT OF FAR EAST
Since Peace Came to the Orient There Is Room for Many Enter-
 prises.

Manchuria and Siberia are the ob- served of all industrial and conner cial observers since the peace treaty. The land offers vast inducements for the development of electricity by water power, the country being well watered by many large streams. There are al- so important coal, iron and copper mines. In the last dozen years Rus sia has shown a disposition to develop her mines in Siberia. The opening of the railroad through Siberia has paved the way for the introduction of foreign machinery into her mines. railroads and manufacturing plants, especially since Russia is not a manufacturing or mechanical nation. Electricity al- ready has become a more important factor in Siberia and Manchuria than is generally believed. and the Jap anese invading army has further stim- ulated its use. Both American and English investors have secured con- trol of some of the oil fields. and they are rapidly installing modern ma chinery and methods. Both Siberia and Manchuria are in great need of machinery. Both the Russians and Japanese appreciate this, and will compete for supremacy in meeting the demand. The building of railways in Manchuria is one of the most prom ising features of this prospective re- vival of trade. Those who have made a close study of the situation opine that within ten years every city of importance in these two countries will have electric transportation.

 The clergyman frowned. but grew tolerant at the bridegroomis pleading tone. Seeing that the innovation aould be unnoticed. he went on. At the conclusion of the ceremony an sppreciatIve smile vreathed the cler- ic's face as he heard the husband whisper to his life partner:

But if I do take any part in the canvas and Senator McNeil of Bridgeport is a candidate for governor, he proba- bly, will be my preference.

 Ex-Governor Waller talks about tainted money in the republican party.

LOCATED HIS RAINCoAT.
Sharp Eyed Max Recognized It After
 Being Made Over.

Max Taschenberger, editor of the Waterbury Beohachter, is mourning the loss of new raincoat for the reason that he went to a masquerade ball last week and some one got next to the coat. when Max, after enjoying himself during the even ing, went to don his coat for the homeward journey, he was greatly surprised to discover that his coat was gone.
 But Max Is a rather sharp eyed fellow and before many days he got line on his coat, and although it had been altered considerably since it had been worn by the editor still he was able to recognize it, as he had the assurance of several of his friends who are willing to swear that they saw the fellow make of with the coat. The new owner is we'll known about town and when Max braced him for the coat the former gave him a look of scorn and told him to go and sell his papers.
 Max hustled to the young mans father and the latter told him to have his boy arrested, but the loser does not see where he could get any satisfaction in the courts. After many visits to the fellows father the latter agreed to give Max $10 for the loss of his coat, as the editor was willing to take that amount in settlement for the same.
 The fellow who stole the coat is a wise "un'' and he did not appear with 1t until he had taken it to a tailor's and had it altered so it was hardly recognizable. Max has not received the $10 as yet, but he is expecting it every day.
