JOLT THREW HORSE
Trolley Car Struck Wagon Which
 Was Loaded With Brick.

If the driver of horse pulling g load of bricks on East Main street yesterday at 4:25 o'clock could have got at the conductor of trolley car that was passing along just then. there would have been trouble. Ow- ing to the pile of snow along tho side of the street there was just room enough for the horse and his load to pass along the track. The driver was following with the reins in his hands. Exactly opposite Polls thea ter the car came along and struck the left wheel of the cart. The jolt threw the horse under the shafts and into the pile of snow. It was done so suddenly and unexpectedly that the driver of the horse was too astonished to move for a moment. The car sped along to about the end of the Moriarty building and stopped. The conductor looked back as though meditating to give assistance, which 1t was his duty to do, the mo- torman's negligence being responsi- ble for the accident But he pulled the bell rope and away the car went bound for. Baldwin street. Once or twice the conductor looked back as though still undecided what to do but at length himself and his car disappeared up Cole street. Mean while the horse was making frantic efforts to get up. Half a dozen men went to the animals assistance and after all their suggestions had been tried some one advised releasing the harness. This was done and the horse then arose. But the driver? he was so mad that he did not even take the number of the car.

DAILY SUIT POSTPONED
Deposition of Attorney Terry
 Will Come From the South.

The suit of Mrs Julia Daly against the state of the late Michael Daily for alimony and damages which she claims to have been deprived of at the time the divorce was granted, was to have been started in the court of common pleas in New Haven yes terday. but owing to the absence of Attorney George E. Terry in the south it had to be postponed. In stead of having Mir Terry come north his deposition will be taken. At the time of the divorce suit it was claim ed that Mr Daly's estate amounted to about $12,000, one third of which Mrs Daily was entitled to. Since his death, however, she claims that she was never given even one third of his estate and that 1t was far more valuable than it was said to be. No inventory of MT Daly's has been made, but 1t is estimated to be worth at least s125,000.

GOES TO RETREAT.
Judge Marvin Hes Decided That Dr
 Gill is Insane.

Hartford. Feb Judge l.. P.
 Waldo Marvin of the probate court decided yesterday to commit Dr Hem i ry F. Gill of No 1857 Main street to the Hartford Retreat for the Insane on the ground that he is of unsound mind. The court has appointed as conservator over him the Connecti- cut Trust and Safe Deposit Co. The appointment of the conservator was agreed upon by all parties con- cerned soon after the announcement |of Judge Marvin's decision.
 The action of the probate court is the result of the evidence submitted during the hearings held upon the duplication of the board of charities to have Dr Gill committed to an in- stitution. Counsel for Dr Gill put up stiff defense, and produced wit nesses to testify that Dr Gill is of sound mind and is capable of manag- ing his own affairs. However. the testimony of two qualified physicians. Dr E. A. Down and Dr Frederick T. Simpson, and of dozen police ofli- cers. convinced the court that Dr Gill ought to be placed under re- straint. He Is suffering from delu- sions which manifested themselves in a peculiar way, causing the doctor to imagine all sorts of misdoings in the house adjoining his on North Main street. His repeated complaints to the police caused steps to be taken which resulted in the decision made by Judge Marvin yesterday. His case, apparently, does not call for com- mitment to the State Asylum for the Insane at Middletown, and he will be permitted to stay at the retreat in this city.
 There was some trouble at first over appointing the couservator. Dr Gill suggested the name of James Tanner. who has done contract work for him. Judge Harrison B. Free man objected on the ground that the contract relations between Mr Tau- ner and Dr Gill have not yet ended. and Mir Tanner as conservator would be called upon to pay $1.550 to him. self as an individual in return for contract work done by him on a house on Hamilton Heights for Dr Gill. At the hearing before Judge Marvin Monday there was consider able discussion on this point.
 Dr Gill preferred an individual. rather than trust company. for con- servator. and told his counsel, Mir Barbour. to tell the court 90. This led Judge FreemaH-to ask Judge Mar win if the charges of trust companies were more than those of individuals acting in such cases.
 Less I believe" said Mir Barbour. smiling. and looking significantly at the present probate judge and the former probate judge. and adding:
 ''I believe something was printed in the paper to this effect not long ago."
 The talk over the conservator de- yeloped the information that pr Gill's son has not been on friendly terms with his mother. The son. therefore. vas not desirable as . con- servator. There has been some fam fly quarrels. 1t appeared. Finally, all agreed upon the company mentioned to act as eonservator.

Officer Mullings Will Have to Answer
 to Board of Safety.

For informing Mrs Margaret Keane of 323 River street that she was intoxicated when in fact she was not in that condition, Patrolman Ed ward Mullings will have to face tho board of public safety. At the last meeting of the board Mrs Keane com plained in writing of this alleged in- suit of the ofiicer and she was given the privilege of withdrawing her complaint as 1t was not drawn up in legal order. She claimed that the oficer's statement that she was in- toxicated was published in the news papers and 1t hurt her reputation and curtailed her means of earning a livelihood.
 Her statement to the board is to the effect that on January 21 her husband. William Keane. came homo intoxicated and began to abuse her. She called in Ohicer Mullings and in- stead of taking away her. husband he told her that he was sober while she was as full as tick" Her hus- band was encouraged by the ofncer's remarks and continued in his abuse and she went to the police station and filed complaint against her husband. An oflcer was dispatched to the house and he took Keane into custody. He also saw Mrs Keane and found she was not intoxicated.
 Superintendent Beach also saw her and found she was absolutely sober.
 Next morning Mrs Keane made a statement to the above effect on the witness stand. Her husband was committed to jail.
 On motion of Mommissioner Miner, Clerk Sandland was instructed to mo- tify 0nicer Mullings and Mrs Keane to appear before the board at it's next meeting with their witnesses and state the whole occurrence.
 Superintendent Beach communal. cated to the board to the effect that with the present number of police men 1t is absolutely impossible to cover Washington hill from Wash ington street to Madison street. But this Is an old story with the board and the superintendent and the board adjourned.
 Mayor Thoms presided and Com- missioners Spain and Grimm were re- ported still sick.

SHERIFF GOT I'M
Safely Board Commlssloser De lecled and Hustled ls Meeiias.

"Where Was the Missing Mem ber?" or Sheriff smiths Capture" is the title given to sketch enacted yesterday by Matthew Smith and Commissioner Roland Andrews of the safety board. The audience was'com. posed of two members of the aafcty board and a few employees of the American ofIice. The scenes were laid in City hall and later in the editor- ial rooms of the Waterbury Ameri- can. The playlet was success as the missing commissioners was found and in due time compelled to attend the meeting of the safety board.
 As it takes three members. who must be unanimous in their opinion to transact business. and as Commis- sioners Griffin and Spain, democratic members, are confined to their homes with the grip, the leader of the re- publican side of the board thought he would remain away from the meeting called for yesterday. OF course with Andrews absent. Chair man Minor and Commissioner Mar. graf could not transact business. When meeting time came around and Commissioner Andrews was not pres- ent, Sheriff Smith called up tho American once and asked if the ab- sent commissioner was there. Word came back that he had departed. con- sequently Mir Smith, the hero, knew that he would have to look him up. So he started.
 He visited various places where he thought the commissioner might be, but there was no commissioner. Finally he came to. the conclusion that MT Andrews might have worked a game on him, so picked up his small feet and started for the Grand street office., He was determined to avenge the death of Jack" Dalton curses! curses!! curses!!!
 Sheriff Smith softly opened the door, curled his mustachio to make 1t appear more terrible. and stealth lily tiptoed into the editorial room and as he saw the commissioner at his desk, the sheritf shouted in sten. torian tones, "Ha, ha, at last I have you!"
 The commissioner tumbled imme- diately and although he was not at all pleased to see Smith. he donned his oyercoat and gloves and taking Matthew by the arm hastened to City hall.
