 Yesterday afternoon balky horse furnished amusement to some specta- tors but caused much annoyance to It's driver. at the corner of Bank and Porter streets where cellar is being dug for a new block. The horse re- fused to go although the man on the seat applied the whip literally. Final. ly the animal started to do some leg work and before 1t had finished its stunts there was nothing left to the front of the cart but splinters.
 Charles Loefiler of Town Plot, while at work yesterday afternoon at the Waterbury Brass factory, met with painful accident. He And hls helper were raising piece of shafting on crane when the pulley slipped and the heavy piece of metal fell to the floor. The crane grazed Loefiler's head inflicting two bad scalp wounds. He was removed to his home on Town Plot where his injuries were dressed. Loeffier's helper had two of his toes crushed.
 -Gertrude Shugrue, four years old. residing on North Leonard street. Is suffering from blood poisoning caused by being struck by piece of wood q couple of weeks ago. She was stand ing nearby while a man was chopping wood and splinter hit her on the forehead between the eyes. Nothing was thought about it at the time but later the bruise swelled to an abnor- maj size and upon Investigation 1t was found that the child was suffering from blood poisoning. Her physician does not expect any serious results to come from the accident.
 Peter simon who figured in the broncho accident last fall which re- suited in Simon being laid up for some time, will leave fin few days to accept n position in New Britain. Simon with one of his companions was driving behind the Stachokas br0ncho last fall and while coming down West Side Hill the animal be- came unmanageable and went down the incline at a rapid clip. The occu- pants were thrown out on West Main street and although hls companion was not injured seriously, simon was badly hurt and only recently recov- cred from the effects of the accident.
 Attorney James NJ. Lynch is out for the ,seaatanship and judging by the amount. Of talk that the article in this column caused last evening, the genial attorney has q large following that Is working hard to land for him the senatorial plum. When his name was first mentioned 1t was asserted that Mir Lynch would not enter the contest but since then things have changed and the Brooklyn man Is in the race for keeps. As stated before Mir Lynch will have a fine chance of landing the place as he Is sure to get the unanimous support of the fourth ward, which is his own district. Be cause of the fight that he has put up for Brooklyn Improvements and the Town Plot trolley many men have seen his ability for representing the sixteenth district in the legislature. They think that he would be well able 10 look after the welfare of the six. teenth district which will need an ex- cellent representative In Hartford the coming two years. Mir Lynch will undoubtedly he well taken care of in the fifth ward also. As the fourth and fifth comprise almost all of the six. teenth district it may easily be seen that Attorney Lynch seems to he the man and as he Is in the race to stay his opponent will have 10 go q few to beat him.
 The writer happened to he in an office this morning and heard a Brooklyn coal dealer send an order to New York for three carloads of coal. The man on the other end. talk ing for the company which he repre- sented. told the local dealer that hc could not guarantee to send the black stun In the event of q strike on the first of April. He said that hc might bc able 10 send carload along next week but this was the best he could do as far as promises were concerned. From the above it may be seen that the wholesalers are expecting a strike nhts although 1t Is the general opinion that they have a large amount of coal on hand. nevertheless they will not tie themselves to any compact to dc. liver In case the miners agree to % out. The few dealers in Brooklyn seem to think that there will lse strike but are of the opinion that it will not last long. They draw their conclusions from the fact that the miners are in q demoralized condition as several recent quarrels have caus- ed much bitter feeling and In case of strike several of the branches Of the union would refuse to participate. Mofcover the operators. for the most part. have been preparing for the crisis aIfi would in all probability break the strike In short time. IT these Is q strike the consumer pays for inc strike tH.sausc of the Insrpsi .se
