of hostile demonstrations.
The government has announced that
the Irish Dominican fathers and nuns,
who have conducted a school here for
many years, will be exempted from
the order of expulsion. This step,
doubtless, is due to the desire of the

general readjustment OF important
cases, set last spring for considera-
ton this autumn, was made today by

ing from November IA to January g.

the vestibules of the cars and the pas
sengers thrown to the fronts of the
cars and piled up among broken seats
and flying glass from the windows.
Miraculous Escape from Instant Death.
The crash of the cars brought as
sistance from residents of a. nearby
house and they with the aid of those
who We're not severely injured cared
for those who could not help them
selves. News of the collision was tele-
phoned into the city in few minutes
after the accident but it was not until
after 8 o'clock that physicians and
nurses and the smbulances arrived. DR..
Robbins though he himself was badly
cut about the head and neck by flying
glass, attended to the most severely in
jured. assisted by trained nurse who
was on one of the cars, but refused to
give her name. Faith and Kurtz were
so Wedged in among the wreckage of
the vestibules of the cars that they
had to be chopped out and their escape
from instant death is miraculous.
Cars Firmly Locked Together by COL
lision.
The cars were locked together by the
force of the collision and the passen-
gers as they were pulled out from the
twisted seats and woodwork were TAX
en- out of the rear doors and laid on the
grass beside the tracks, and on the ar
rival of assistance from the city taken
either to the New Britain hospital or
to their homes.
When the wrecl<er came to clear the
tracks the cars were so firmly locked
together that it was impossible to sep
arate them and they We're taken away
together. The force of the collision, as
great as it was, failed to throw either
car off the rails.
Doubt as to Responsibility.
There seems to be much doubt as to
who was responsible for the accident,
but an investigation which will be
started in the morning will probably
clear II up. Both cars were supposed
to have whistled before reaching the
curve, but in the confusion that fol-
lowed no one could tell whether that
was done or not.
The spot where the accident hap
pened was the scene three wears ago
last June of a similar Collision in
which thirty people were injured and
some years previous to that time there
was another collision.
