AUTO AND TEAM COLLIDE
!. FIsd TIott and James Flynn h a
 Mkup on GIand Street.

0. Fred Trott. president of the Trott Baking Ca. and James Flynn. the contractor. had an experience on Grand street this morning which came near ending seriously for both parties. for if 1t had happened few minutes later 8 keg of dynamite would havesfigured in the mixup and baker and contractor never would have known what happened to them. MT Trott was turning into Grand street from Bank street in his auto lar and MT Flynn was hurrying along ih the opposite direction seated be- hind his steel gray stopper. The turn is sharp at that point and the auto swung into Grand street SO un- expectedly neither had time to come f1 halt before they collided, but both did slow up enough to prevent bad crash, although MT Flynn's carriage was almost turned and he came dangerously near being pitched through the store window in the Atkins block. Things were righted in short time and when the two men got talking it over MT Flynn said that he was on his way to purchase quantity of dynamite and that 1t was good thing he didn't have the pesky stuff in his carriage else the result would have been much worse. Nobody was hurt and aside from the breaking of a few straps belonging to Mir Hymns outfit, no damage occurred.

LILLEY g NOT kN0WN
No Such Persoa h ths Waterbury Telephone Wa|d.

Those who wrestle with the tele- phone have the diversion of coming upon new and interesting revelations amid their tribulations. The Hart ford Courant yesterday wanted to communicate with Congressman Lil- ley at Waterbury, and 1t tells about 1t as follows: The first inquiry over the toll line' was to find Congress man Lilley, who was not down in the book, but undoubtedly could be reached by explanation to the Water bury office. In due time or longer back came the information "Mr Lil- ley's name is not in the book" which was just what had been explained. Accordingly second appeal was made to have "25" in Waterbury called upon and then, of course. 1t would all be settled. Another wait and then No such person as Con- gressman Lilley is known in Water bury" Finis!

STATE roIlcl BUSY.
Working On tho Windsor Locks Nur. dor KyStery-Said to Have Clue.

Windsor Looks, Sept 19.-The body of the man found in the Con- necticut river under the bridge be tween Windsor Locks and Ware house Point has been Identified as that of Fred Lerner, a well-known resident of Broad Brook, where he had worked for the past two years for P. H. Sloan, a tobacco man of that place. Dr. w. w. Knight per- formed an autopsy on the body.
 While there were several cuts on the body, 1t was found that death was caused by two wounds in the neck, which practically cut the wind pipe in two. The wounds in the chest were not serious in themselves and of those on the left side, four in number, none reached the heart. The wounds made by the stabs were Ave- eighths of an inch in breadth, show ing that they were made with a knife blade about that width. The skull was not crushed and there was nothing to show that the man had been struck with club as had been thought. The head had been cut, ap- parently with the same instrument which had made the cuts in other parts of the body.
 Lerner and his wife had not lived together for i've years. He boarded at MT Sloan's house, where his wife called last Tuesday to see him. The husband and wife had some words In the barn regarding the boy who Is i'll from consumption in Massachu- setts, the wife wanting Lerner to sup- port him. The next day Lerner left the Sloan house. but not without the knowledge of MT Sloan, who gave him $15 due him.
 The state police were working on the case yesterday and Constable T.. F. Mccarthy, who was working for them, Is understood to have some clues which may bear fruit in point ing to the murderer. Deputy Sheriff Wilson Is also on the case.
 Mrs Lerner, wife of Fred Larrer, found murdered at Windsor Locks, has lived here practically all her life. She said yesterday:
 "Last Tuesday I wanted him to send some money to our boy Fred, who Is sick and went to Broad Brook and made that request of him. He was very angry at being called on for money and said he had sent $20 that morning. I told him that was all right and came home. Wednesday night when Charley came home he said that Mir Sloan's hired man had told him that Lerner had left there, saying he would so somewhere where I couldn't get at him. Charley has supported me since my husband left me-"

They Climb Up Their Hair.

The egg-gatherers of St. Kilda con. sider themselves rich if their prospec. tive brides are able to furnish them with a rope of human hair. The ropes vary in length. a really good one of 70 or 50 feet being especially prized. The usual kind Is a stout hempen cord wrapped round and round with sheep's wool; over this Is a lining of horsehair; finally braids of human hair. To manufacture such . rope is the work of years, but the St. Kildan girl scrupulously saves her hair. combingz A curiosity collector wished to buy . fine specimen of hair rope, but the el25 offered was refused.

So many tickets have been sold for the whist and "45" party to be held soon in Good Will hall. in Wateryille for the benefit of St Michael's church that Father Traynor felt 1t necessary to engage the firemen's hall which is in the same building. Ten teams for forty-five have been already enlisted.
 Michael Pace. aged~12 years. will sail next week for Naples, Italy, will there enter the Conservatory of Mu- sic for the study of the violin on which ths boy Is wonderfully profi- cient. Michael is the son of Angelo Vito Pace of 68 South Elm street and he intends to have the boy study for at least ten years in the Naples con- 1servatory. Attorney Bauby to-day se- cured the boys passport in order to avoid any possible chance of trouble with the Italian government when the boy is reaching the end of his studies. Though only 12, Michael is in the seventh grade in the Croft school.
 The business of moving houses still continues in the north end and 1t will continue until almost every home which was put up there some years ago has found new location in or der that the Waterbury Manufactur- ing company and the Chase Rolling Mill company may have lots of room to spread out. This Is a healthful sign and the commissioners of public work appreciate this fact and make no bones about giving the concerns permission to move houses from one location to another. A petition of that character from the Chase Roll- ing Mill company was referred to the city engineer at last nights session. They want to shift a house on Locust street about $50 feet.
