RAN INTO IRON POST.
Ripper Met Accident on Frederick
 Street,

Another coasting accident occurred last night which knocked the hitch ing post in front of the residence of Jesse Minor on Hillside avenue into splinters and came near resulting in the death of Thomas Jones of East Main street, Claude Murphy of West Main street and one or two others. The coasters came down Frederick street and turned into Hillside ave- nue at terrific speed. In front of the Minor residence the sled became un- manageable and bumped into the iron hitching post. The sled was too much for the post and 1t snapped in two. part of 1t being whirled sev- eral feet along the street. The coast CTS were spilled about in all direc- tions and some of them were hurt or scared so badly they screamed like youngsters fleeing from a wild ami nal. One got 8 very bad shaking up and remained on Minors steps fif- teen or twenty minutes before he was in condition to be removed Then his companions piled him onto the sled and propelled him to his home. This is bad spot and people who don't care to run chances of break ing their bones should give it a wide berth during the coasting season. The other day somebody broke his leg in the same neighborhood and it is miracle why more accidents have not been reported from there. The aldermen have designated streets on which people are permitted to coast. but judging by the way the business has been carried on this winter very little notice has been taken of the order, for coasting ap- pears to be in full blast in almost every street in the city that is suita- ble for the business. The sleeper the grade the better. and the more the danger the greater the crowd. Old folks may not like this sort of thing, but it is the great sport for the boys and girls to come down the hills at top speed yelling "Road!" now and then and laughing at young and old scampering to get out of their way.

THE M'LEOD CASE
Further Hearing Postponed
 One oi the Jurymen Sick.

i
 Assistant States Attorney Kellogg got Hugh Mcleod to mako several serious admissions on the stand yes- terday afternoon in his trial for manslaughter of Frederick B. Frost on October 13 last. by running him down with A. M. Young's automobile and killing him instantly.
 Attorney Kellogg got Mcleod to admit that he is an expert chauner of considerable experience. That the machine which killed Frost was one of the best in the market. That 1t was equipped with all of the latest and best devices for stopping 1t. That. in fact Mcleod could stop the machine almost instantly by apply ing the proper mechanism to the wheels. That he saw the Frosts on the trolley track forty feet in front of him. That he sounded his horn and could have stopped the machine at that time. That while the ma chine was registered as a "A horse- power vehicle 1t was in reality pro- pelled by a 35 horsepower engine and. finally, that the machine weigh ed two hundred pounds less than two tons.
 Mcleod evidently was not aware of the importance of the admissions he was making. or that he was furn- ishing the states attorney with ground for telling argument. In fact that he was himself the strong net ,x,tx
 Many of the statements Mcleod made to the coroner two days after the fatal accident. he did not re- member Or he wished to correct. He said his mind is clearer on the mat ter now than it was then and that the evidence of many of the witnesses recalled to him matters which he did not recall when being examined by the coroner.
 He said he has made the trip from Mir Young's home to Waterbury from fifty to 100 times and yet he could not say what was the mileage be- tween the two points mentioned. As an expert chauffer he never thought 1t worth his while to reckon the miles or even time himself between the two places. He never used speedometer or roadometer.
 He told the coroner that he left Branford. the morning of the acci- dent about o'clock. Yesterday he said he left 1t at 7:30. He left Wa terbury on the return trip at 9:30. To the coroner he said he left 1t at ''ten minutes to ten." On various other poip.su uf evidence he has given to the oJroner he wished to be cor rected. for. though his mind was then clear and collected. being two days after the accident, he had clearer recollection now of the entire un- fortunate occurrence. Mcleod testi- fes in low voice and his manner plainly shows that he iC not insensi- bel to the situation he Is in.
 The hearing was interrupted to- day by the illness of Juror Andrew F. Wheeler of Seymour. and the case was continued to next Tuesday morn- ing.

THE LAWYER WAS OFF.
His Mistake in the Baier's Appeal De
 lays the Hearing.

The appeal of Julius Baier iron, Judge Lowe's decision in the probate court would have been heard by Judge Robinson in the superior court this afternoon had the lawyer for the appellant known where he was lat when he drew up the papers. It turned out that Julius Baier as an heir was not represented in court.
 Baier appealed from Judge Lowe's de- cision in deciding that Adolph Storz Ia son of Julia Storz, an adopted daughter of Julius Baier, deceased,
 was entitled to portion of the es- tate, which amounts to about $4,5O0. Storz was given $500 in the will. and
 Baier considered that was all he was entitled to. The court made some Suggestions for the attorneys to fol-
 low and adjourned the case.

RELIGION IN SALOON
Salvation Talked By Evangelist
 and His Wife Sang.

Hartford. Feb 28.-Mep of all ages and of all conditions gathered in Ed McKernan's saloon on Asylum street last evening at the first of the saloon meetings, which are to be a part of the Chapman evangelistic campaign, and whether they came out of curl osity, whether they were drinking when the meeting was called. or whether they had no other place to go, all entered heartily into the spirit of the occasion and had many words of praise when William Asher, the leader, dismissed them by saying, Its all on. boys"
 The saloon was crowded to its ut- most capacity. but with MT Asher keeping a watchful eye from his point of vantage on chair, his wife impressing the men with her songs and Policeman Callahan at the door, to say nothing of the genial figure of Ed" wandering about, the best of order prevailed and. as one of the bartenders said, during the prayer there was no whispering or chewing gum, as there is in good many regu- lar churches. Altogether, the "sports" present. as we'll as those having the campaign more closely at heart, felt that the meeting was a success, even though there were no visible results.
 Promptly at o'clock MT and Mrs Asher entered the saloon and for the next thirty-five minutes no drinks were served. A portable organ was set up and chair procured. and the service opened with singing, Mrs Asher playing the accompaniment. She had strong yet sweet voice. and 1t was plain that some of her songs made the crowd thoughtful.
 Mir Asher stood on chair and led the singing, calling to the men to get the ice out of their shoes and join in the chOruses. After singing hymn several times, he had the men whistle the chorus. and calling to MT McKer- nan. he said, How'd you like that, Ed?" and Ed" said that it was all right.
 After moving his chair several times so that he could see all the men, he called attention to the pass age from Ephesians, For by grace are ye saved through faith. and that not of yourself, it is the gift of God" He spoke but a few minutes, and used both the Catholic and King James's versions of the Bible. saying that he did not wish to proselyte but simply save souls. His talk was in- terspersed with trite sayings and slang phrases which his audience ap- preciated. Among them were the fol- lowing:
 T haven't any less backbone be- cause I'm a Christian"
 Coin will get you most everything in this life. but there is limit" You fellows ought to get hurry up move on you and go to church." You know that you want saliva tion that will help you turn the trick"
 To attract the attention of the crowd the speaker used whistle. Mrs Asher sang solo after the ser mon and her husband stood at the door and shook hands with the men as they went out. The moment the meeting was closed the bartenders began to serve drinks and business for a while was rushing. A meeting will be held this evening at 8 o'clock in Louis Guethlein's saloon on Pearl street.

Several large herds have been reported In this county, one of those frequently seen consisting of a big buck and several doe.
