TWO WOMEN HURT
IN PANIC ON AN
EAST SIDE CAR

Miss Annie Nelson OF l26 East Manning
street and Miss Elizabeth Parker OF SO
East Manning street were badly hurt last
night. and 20 or more other passengers
on a Governor street car were more or
less shaken up and bruised. when they
succumbed 10 a panic and jumped from
the car when the controller box burst
forth into flames.
The car left Market square for the East
side at 1885, and when IL had reached the
near Power street a loud explosion oc-
from the controller box.
The passengers became panic stricken
when a sheet OF fame rushed back into
the car and all hastily Jumped
Miss Parker fell on the roadway and
rolled back toward the tracks. Patrolman
Briggs. seated just behind her. also
jumped off and grasped her by the skirt
and dragged her from under the front
platform OF the slowly moving car.
The conductor had pulled the trolley
from the wire and undoubtedly the prompt
action OF these two men saved her from
more serious injury. or even death. She
was cut about the head and received con-
tusions.
Miss Nelson was also one OF the first
10 jump. and received injuries TO her
back and possibly internal injuries; but
none OF the other passengers received
painful hurts.
The disabled car was in charge OF Con-
ductor b. T. Sherwood and Motorman c.

ANOTHER COMMISSION.
Movement for State Body to Seal
 Weights and Measures.

Weights and Measures.
 It is reported that . movement is being nursed to create a commission to examine weights and measures un- der state authority. In 1901 b,ll with that end In view was introduced in the senate and wes referred to the committee on judiciary. An official from the state treasurer's office ap- peared before that body In support of the existing laws dealing with tine matter and the bill was reported on unfayorably.
 The law provides that weights and measures adopted by congress in 1886 and sent to this state shall be stand ard In Connecticut, and be kept in the custody of the state treasurer in his office. It requires that the treasurer of each county shall keep in good Ordtr weights and measures like these, by which other weights and measures may be tested. It further more requires that the selectmen of each town shall provide weights and measures as standards for their towns and shall try them by the county standards.
 It is argued that the existing laws are sufficient, if observed A commis- sion would mean an expense, salary and incidentals, of $2.CO0 to the state and would be unnecessary, 1t is as- serted. Opposition to the measure Is certain.

as to the advisability of erecting ;

as to the suitability of erecting a ire station at the corner of BalL 1in and Luke streets in the year 1907. and my reasons for the same, also what style of house I would recon.- mend be built at that point, Is al hand. In my opinion a house should be built during the year 1907 on .he site recently purchased for that pur. pose. My reasons are that a house properly equipped at this point is necessitous, the apparatus installed therein would respond to calls tha, cover number of our large factories Benedict & Burnham, Steele & Johnson, Waterbury Button. Go. Wa terbury Buckle Go. American Mills, Waterbury Clock Go Case factory). Scovill Manufacturing Co. Would also cover Baldwin. Washington end intersecting streets, Washington, Merriman and Mulcahy schools, in fact all the territory known as the Abrigador. together with portions of Mill and South Main streets ard other streets in those localities. At present all calls from boxes on Ball. win north of Stone street are re- sponded to by all apparatus hou7ei in the center or business district. aud would be obviated with the house built and properly equipped. I would recommend that a double house be built. Attached you will find a rec Jin- mendation made by the national board of fire underwriters to the al- dermanic board. following the fire of February 3. 1902. referring to fire station in the locality mentioned"
 Following is the recommendation referred to:
 A double constructed fire station (No 4) should be erected and csn- trally located within the Brooklyr district. for the suitable housing of permanently employed firemca. horses and apparatus; also the same description of station for Company No 5, on Baldwin street, la the Abrf- gador district.
 The communication was ordered on file.
 The different transfers recommend ed by the beard of finance were a3- proved. Mir Goss voted against the whole of them with the exception snf the one with reference to the state communication tax. The claim of Jacob Book for injuries received b. falling on an alleged defective walk at 474 South Main street was re- ferred to the law committee.

Hartford. Dec 1.-The board of pardons met in the supreme court room at the Capitol yesterday for the December term, Judge William Ham, ersley sitting in place of the late Judge Torrance. Seventeen prison CTS appeared before the board in per son, but petitions of others. who were represented by friends of lawyers, were heard. The board granted but one petition. that of James McSorley, who was sentenced on December 8, 1903, for from five to seven years for burglary in Stamford. Homer s. Cummings spoke for Mccorley. Tn the petition McSorley said he was in- nocent. Mir Cummings took the ground that if McSorley committed the crime at all the sentence was ex- cessive as imposed by Judge George w. Wheeler. McSorley was par doned.
 Friends of Morris Dobkin of Naue- atuck spoke in his behalf. Dobkin was sentenced on July 23, 1905, for from two to three years for theft.
