In avoiding collision with carriage
containing two ladies', Rev. Charles A.
Leddy, pastor of ST. Patrick's church,
Mystic, met with a serious mishap
while driving his automobile about
midway between Mystic and Stoning-
ton, Sunday afternoon. At the time OF
| the mishap a trolley car was approach
ing. and it became necessary for Ia
ther Leddy to collide with the car or
carriage, Or take the chance of passing
between a guy pole of the trolley wire
and the carriage. AS result, Father
Leddy's automobile struck the trolley
pole with great force, smashing the
glass shield and front Of the automo-
bile. and breaking the pole off about
ten fest from the ground. The guy
wires of course dropped, and trolley
traffic was delayed until repairs were
made.
Father Leddy retained his seat in
the automobile, but was badly shaken
up. so much so that he was in a daz-
ed condition and blood flowed from his
nose. Passengers frln. the trolley car
and automobile. parties, of which there
were several soon at the scene, assisted
in clearing up the wreckage and rem
dered Father Leddy all possible assist
ance. Father Leddy was taken to his
home in Mystic in Charles P. Williams
automobile. where he received medical
attention His only outward injury
consisted of slight cuts in the face,
made by flying bits of the glass shield.
As the wires that fell were alive with
electricity. it is considered remarkable
tina the result was not more damaging.
One Young man from Mystic attempted
to remove a wire that rested in the
automobile and received a severe shock
and he shouted until rescued from per-
il by two young men from Westerly.
Just before o'clock Sunday after
noon an alarm was sent from box 81,
| in Railroad avenue. The tre was IN
an automobile of the old rear door
STYLE owned by Lawrence Hayworth
Of Hope Valley. The automobile was
in the yard at the passenger station,
and when Mr.. Hayworth started the
machine there was a back fire. The
collection of oil and gasoline in the re-
ceiving pan caught fire. and in an in
slant the whole machine was mass OF
flames, and burned brislxly Mr.. Hep
worth gave warning to those nearby to
keep at q distance. as the tanks were
| filed with gasoline.
As a precautionary measure, the fire
alarm was sent in. but before the fire
men were ready to play stream on
the machine the fire was extinguished.
! The belief is that the automobile is
damaged beyond repair

No other medicine for woman's ills

For more than 80 years 1t has been

Inflammation, liberation, local weak

periodic pains, backache, indigestion
and nervous prostration, and 1t is
unequalled for carrying women safely
