 the car which was coming from
 Waterville at that time must have had night mare, as they saw Motorman

Down the steep grade IL went at lightning speed, with Mo- torman Benway using hIs every ef- Iort to bring 1t to halt. As 1t went over the switch near Ridgewood street, the passengers. two women, a man and a boy, evidently thought the car would continue until 1t crashed into the car which was on its way m.
 But the motorman on the car which was going up saw that something was wrong with the car that was ap- preaching. so he stopped his car. He saw that the motorman in charge of the oncoming rolling stock must have lost control, so he proceeded to send his car back. Imediately the passen- gers, who filled every seat in Il, car thought there was going to be crash. so they bolted and jumped off as quickly as possible. Luckily the up- going car had perceived the situation m advance, for the runaway car car was not brought under control until within few feet of the car that was going up. It was very narrow es- ,ape

CIRCUS SEATS FALL.
Two People Injured and Panic Avert
 ed by Chief of Police

Bristol, June 7.-But for the
 presence of mind of Chief of Police
 Belden, Officer Cullom and some of
 the employees of the D'Alama's Train ed Animal show there might have
 been stampede last night, when one section of the seats came crashing down, piling 100 people ill heap at the ring side that would have resulted in loss of life. As it was Miss Tillie Carpenter of Prospect street had her ankle broken and Philip Fields a teamster had his wrist badly sprain. ed.
 The rain was indirectly the cause or the accident, for the muddy roads delayed the circus in getting here from Thomaston and it was nearly o'clock last evening when the men had hurriedly raised the tents, the afternoon performance having been omitted. In the general hurry some Of the stakes were inseeurely placed and when the 100 persons who were in that section began to applaud at an interesting part of the perform ance there was a creaking and crack ing and everybody went sliding down onto the ground.
 There was no place for the unseat- ed to take fresh seats so all in that section got back the price of adIuis- sion and the band started up and the performance went on.

(. W. A. EXHIBIT
Many Specimens of Art Work Millinery and Dressmaking.

The annual exhibit of the Cath
 ollie Women's association, which has
 come to be regarded as something of
 more than ordinary interest by con-
 noisseurs in art work, dressmaking,
 millinery, fine needle work of every
 description and stenography, was
 held yesterday afternoon and even- ing in St Patrick's hall, and attract
 ed a very large attendance. The
 hall was tastefully decorated with
 a great variety of flags and bunting
 and presented a very cheerful ap-
 pearance. The different classes
 were under the general supervision
 of Mrs 0. P. Hayes, superintendent
 Of the association, and the result of
 their efforts showed that the man.
 agement is all that could have been desired.
 The millinery department, con sisting of class of twelve pupils, under the direction of Miss Eliza beth Finley, was complete triumph and the different patterns placed on exhibition won the admiration of all. They included the latest styles in the market and the trimming was performed in a manner which showed that the pupils had been coached by master hand and proved apt scholars.
 The Misses Sara A. Finley and Jeanette Charters again demon strated their ability to impart to others share of their years ex- perience in dressmaking, this de- partment having oh exhibition enough samples to satisfy even the most exacting among the visitors that the workmanship was up to date in every particular. There were two classes in dressmaking, both numbering about fifty, every one of whom received training which is sure to come in handy on and off | during the balance of her lifetime. There is no beginners class, but any young woman who has an aptitude 1 for dressmaking and makes this | known to the association will be .aken in and given every opportunity 'o uCCOHe pTOucleuL III In6 art, ana | t would appear from the success made by the classes whose work was ,n exhibition last night any girl who avs her mind down to it can master t in one winter.

80 MILES AN HOUR.
New System That Will Make the
 Cars Almost Fly.

Notwithstanding the fact that the
 Leffler system uses less electric cur
 rent than any other system, it de-
 velops a great deal more power, and,
 as electrical engineers say, that
 means speed. No power is lost in
 gearing, nor anywhere else. All the power applies directly to the moving car.
 But with all the speed that can be : developed the Leffler cars cannot leave the track. The magnets in the track and on the car have such strong attraction toward each other that their tendency is always to hold the car on the track. For a car to jump the track would require the equivalent to the snapping of a ten- sion of thousands of pounds: but this does not mean that there is this heavy pail down as dead weight on the car wheels or rails; 1t simply means that it is practically impossi- ble to suddenly jerk the attracted part of a magnet away from the part.
 The Leffier electric system differs from any other in that the power is applied directly to the moving of the car. No power current or speed Is lost. For fourteen years MT Leffier has been at work perfect Ing system so simple and cheap to operate that 1t is bound to reyolu- tionize the street railway and steam railroad business. It costs 25 per cent less to run this system than any other system now known. It starts, 'tops and reverses by the operation ,f one short crank-like lever.
 Alex Comstock of the Buckingham who is the representative ,f the Leffier electric system for the entire state of Connecticut. is ar- anging to have Paul w. Leffler, who s a noted consulting engineer. visit Waterbury and give a lecture. MT 4effier will also lecture in the other arge cities.
