There was collision between the large touring car of William Hoxie and the baggage car of the Pawcatuck Valley street railway in High street Thursday morning. The touring ear stood in front of the Willard store, as the freight car came down High street with the gong changing. The chauf- feur, evidently believing he could cross the track ahead of the approach ing car, made the attempt. He was quick to see his mistake and in back ing the car from the track a forward wheel of the automobile was struck and one of the spokes broken. That was the extent of the damage. The freight car was stopped after running twenty-five feet.
 At 2.45 Thursday afternoon there was a wind storm with slight fall of rain and there was a general scurry ing from the streets. There was in- dication of severe storm. The at- moSphere was cooled and then came heavy rain storm, one of the straight not slanting, kind which lasted for half an hour. but there was no thun- der or lightning. By four o'clock the rain had ceased and the torrid heat returned.
