Considerable excitement was caused
on an electric ear at o'clock yesterday
afternoon near Wiley street at North
Barre when the trolley wire broke and
fell down onto the top Of the car, where
IL sputtered and flashed for a minute
and then fell to the ground in front of
the car. The motorman, James Kesson,
quickly stopped the ear and then warned
the passengers, who were somewhat
frightened BY the flashing Of the live
wire on the top Of the ear, not to get
off the ear, as they might be struck by

North Main street, heard Of cattle
which was being driven up the street
onto the track right in front
Of the car. Before the motorman could
stop the car, the fender struck one Of
the cows and knocked it down. The car
stopped then and the COW quickly picked
itself up and with the rest Of the herd
started on stampede up the street,
The driver Of the herd was greatly
wrought up over the accident and the
fact that his COWS had disappeared. He
began to "call down" the motorman,
claiming that he was to blame because
he did not ring the bell; but passengers
on the ear say that he did ring the.
bell and stopped the car as quickly
possible.
The traffic between the two cities YES.
