 Conductor Keefe. who runs on the North Main and Bank street lines had a novel experience yesterday and, if there are any Carnegie medals floating around, he should be entitled to one, for his quick presence of mind undoubtedly saved the life of an in- fant. His car was going up North Main street, when he was as- tonished to see baby carriage, con- taining a little tot, coming down the sidewalk opposite the Waterbury Manufacturing company, at the speed Of an automobile. He rang his bell for the car to stop, leaped from the step and intercepted the carriage and its tiny load just as 1t was about tc dash over the curb to the street. Had it gone few feet further there is no knowing what would have happened to the child. Looking around for the owner, he discovered a woman further up the street who was cufing another child of more mature years, than the one in the runaway carriage. The woman had carelessly released her hold on the carriage to reprove the other child for some misdeed and had not noticed the disappearance of the younger tot in the speedy ride down the incline. The conductor never noticed whether the woman was thankful or not so funny did the scene appear to him.
