KILLED BY TROLLEY
Fatal Accident at Southington- New Haven Turnpike
 Crossing.
SLEIGH STRUCK BY A CAR
Henry Doolittle, of Cheshire, Dies as the Result of Frac-
 turcd Skull.

Crossing the tracks of the Connecti- cut company at the Southington- New Haven turnpike yesterday noon a sleigh in which Henry DooIittie, of Cheshire Center, was riding was struck By a passing car and almost instantly Killed
 The sleigh was completely demolish- cd, but the horse was uninjured and was caught after running short dis tance from the crossing, People aboard the car sent for Medical Ex- aminer Charles N Dennison, who stated to the Journal-Courier last night that, while he had not yet given a formal opinion on the matter, the death was plainly due to accident. The conductor and motorman gave their names William Ferguson and William Congdon, and the car pro- ceeded
 The crossing where the accident oc- cured Is about mile from Cheshire Center and is we'll protected. The sleigh made no noise coming along the road, and evidently Mir Doolittle tried to cross in front of the car, perhaps before he saw it,
 The remains were taken to George Keeler's undertaking rooms at Chesh- ire. There 1t was found that MT. Doolithe's fatal injury was fractured skull His son, A. $. Doolittle, of this city, was notified and went immedi- ately to Cheshire. The funeral ar- engagements have not been made.

NO ELIGIDLES YET
sergeants Only Took Physical Tests Last Night, Delay
 ing the Report.
NEXT MEETING ON FRIDAY
Civil Service Board Will Not Make Up the Complete List Until
 Tint Evening.

The date for the announcement of the successful candidates for the civil service certificate of eligibility as po- lice captains has again been advanced, and now 1t is Friday evening that is set as the time for the complete re- turns from the examinations taken about D month ago Tha reason the civil service board was unable to make up the list last night is that the phy- sical examinations which must be in- cluded before the candidates are eli- gible to appointment, had not been taken by some of the candidates. The board held very short session last night, found out that nothing could be done, as the returns of the doctor had not and could not arrive, and de- cided that Friday night would be soon enough to try it again.
 Several of the candidates took their physical examination last night, hav- ing made their appointments with Dr. Seaver for that time. It is stated that the physical test was vtry thorough one, although 1t had been thought by some that it would not be ery severe.
 A few recertiflcations that had been asked for were made for persons who had taken examinations for general clerkships and whose year had run oI1t

PACKAGES ASTRAY
Those Who Do Not Add Return Addresses Will be the
 Losers.
TROUBLES AT PosToFFICE
Now Advertisements, But Later Will Come Presents and Then
 the Bills.

This will be weary week for a great many clerks in New Haven. The thought of overworked clerks at Christmas time always suggests to most minds the people of the depart ment stores But that is simply be- cause they are seen Others who bear the brunt of the Christmas rush and the Christmas shopping none the less are the clerks at the postof1ce, whose work is less spectacular but every whit as exacting and tedious. Not only are there the Christmas packages to attend to but there are also the hoards of advertising matter |sent out by nearly every store just be- fore Christmas to attract prospective customers. Already 150.000 pieces of such matter have gone through the postoflice, and the trouble has not yet begun
 December is the time of year when freak things happen at the postofFice Perhaps in no wSy Is the thoughtless- ness of those who use the mails to send their Christmas packages shown better than In the number of people who fail to write their own addresses on their packages as well as the ad- dresses of those to whom they are sending them. Already there is high pile of such packages at the postofflce which cannot be returned to their .senders simply because the latter did not put on their own addresses.
 Another illustration of the ignor- ance of the postoffice regulations that the public displays was shown at the local office yesterday when a full grown lemon was rescued from the mail. The lemon had been tagged with an address. Of course it comes under the head of things that are apt to deconpose or to injure other mail and hence it could not be delivered. But 1t all makes more work for the postoffice men.
 After Christmas there will come a rush of calendars for the new year, and after the first of January will come the bills demanding payment for all that has preceded.

PLATOON DISBANDED
Many Men win Re-EnIist to Secure
 Service Medals.

The second platoon of the machine gun battery passed out of existence as an organization last evening when pursuant to the orders from Hartford last week it was voted to disband. With the passing of the second platoon one of the oldest organizations in the Connecticut National Guard ceases to be, that is, as military organiza- ton. It is expected, however, that the men who were members of the platoon at the time of it's disbandment will form some sort of a social organi- zation to keep up the friendships formed In the service.
 A good many of the men in the platoon will join the infantry. If for no other reason than to obtain their service medals. At least two of the men have less than year to serve to obtain twenty year medals, three have about the same time before fifteen years Of continuous service will ex- pire, while several men are nearing the ten year service mark.
