TROLLEY VICTIMS
Miss lucy Perrin and Mrs Mas.
 SIcotie Confined 10 Bed.

All of the persons injured in the trolley accident on the OaiIville line yesterday morning were doing well to-day with the exception of Miss Lucy Perrin of St Paul street and Mrs Adele Massieotte of South Main street. Dr Thibault, who Is treating the former, said that Miss Perrin was very sick girl and that she would be in bed for some time. Mrs Massicotte, according to Dr Kilmar- tin, Is d trifle worse than yesterday but her condition is not critical.
 Although the friends of Motorman Costello claim that the brake on the regular car was defective, the com pany states that the brake worked all right. The story goes that the car was tried on Robbins street later in the day and the brakes worked very smoothly.

CITY NEWS.

We wish you happy and prosper ous New Year. Upson, Singleton X Co.
 John King of East Main street will spend the next few days in. New York.
 The taxation revision committee are working hard and will soon sub init a report to the aldermen. The committee and Mayor Thoms had a long chat with the city attorney yes terday. Nobody knows what they will report but it is understood that the committee expects to agree on a draft of a legislative enactment which would oblige all parts of the town to bear an equitable share of the burden of taxation. For example, the town school districts will evil dently be required to pay their own teachers, and they may also be in- vited to help pay something towards the maintenance of the water system and other things.
 The rainfall of last night and this morning amounted to Al of an inch. It helped the reservoirs considerably, the Branch being four and one-half inches higher at noon to-day than it was yesterday and East Mountain had gone up an inch and a half. The water question is still serious and it will continue so until we have at least a weeks rain. The weather prophets say that we will not have much rain this winter, and worse still. it is claimed that as far back as there is any record of such things. it shows that a very dry season is invariably followed by another and probably two. If this be so, Water bury will have nothing but East Mountain to look to next summer for unless we have eopious rain before next spring the Branch will not be much use next year. East Mountain is doing well. and were 1t not for it Waterbury would have been wrest- ling with water famine long ago.

FIRE HORSES IN A STORE,
Team Plunges Through Window
 Driver MacAhenny Is Hurt

New York. Dec 31.-When the alarm bell rang at D. m. yesterday in the fire house on Lincoln street, Flushing, the engine and the hose cart both started out together and dashed side by side at top speed.
 The street narrows to a lane at Main street, and as the two drivers approached that thoroughfare both realized at the same instant their dangerous predicament. Thomas MacAhenny, on the hose cart, was quick to act. He guided his team straight across Main street, thinking he could pull up before he reached the far side.
 But the big horses, instead of obeylng the reins, plunged full tilt through the show window of A. c. Slinter's butcher store, landing in front Of the counter. The horses had to be unharnessed and led out the front door.
 MacAhenny was flung against the side of the building and was cut by glass and internally injured.

Fred R. Price has brought another suit against Superintendent of Po- lice George M. Beach and Officer Fin ton Tehan for damages of $1,000. Price claims he was illegally arrest ed and imprisoned in the lookup one evening last summer. It is true he was arrested by Officer Tehan for refusing to move on when requested and that he went through all the forms in the police station, being measured and weighed and all that sort of thing to which every prison CT is subjected. Where Price thinks he has the cops on the hip is that very small bond, $5 or so, was ac- cepted for his appearance in court next morning, and as he failed to appear this sum was forfeited. The first suit was down for trial before Judge Bennett and the jury in the superior court a few weeks ago. but as Attorney Root, counsel for Price was not on hand Judge Bennett dis missed it. That obliged Attorney Root to begin all over again which he has done in the present suit.

VILLA NOVA TAKES

LEXINGTON, VA, April 2.-Inability
to hit at the proper time caused
Washington and Lee to lose to-day to

game. Two OF the 'varsitys runs were

ger For Villa Nova, Walsh's good
stick work won the game, although his
twirling was not equal TO Georges.
Burr also contributed to the run get
ling, when after Walsh singled in the
third. the pitcher brought both in by
putting high one over left field
fence. In the same inning Nichols cut
off Washington and Lees chances of
scoring by beautiful one-handed
catch. In the fourth, Waddill made
another grand stand play, when he
pulled down Moorc's liner, doubled to
first and put Nichols out. Brown
singled in the fifth, went to second on
Waddllrs sacrifice and tailed when
Captain Luhn lined out triple to
centre. Villa Nova made the winning
runs when Walsh singled and brought
in two men. George pitched good
game despite the hits off his delivery,
and again showed his wonderful con-
troll by passing only one man to first.
The souftpaw also did some pretty
stick work. The team behind him gave
fair support but Villa Nova showed
him up here by making only one error.
