GAR JUMPED TRACK
 IN THAMES STREET.
Single Truck Electric Left Rails En- tireIy, Going Upon Sidewalk and Against Fence.

For some reason that the officials of the Connecticut company could not find out, the small single truck trolley car in charge of Motorman Barry and Conductor Kennedy that was sent down to Thamesville to help out the New London car. went off the track on Thames street Monday evening shortly after o'clock. The car left the rails in front of the second house below Pages lane. there being several passengers aboard It turned at right angles to the track and crashed into a picket fence, which brought it to d stop. The fender was somewhat bent. otherwise no damage was done. The car went off far enough to leave the track clear for the regular New Lon don car in charge of Motorman John King, so that the schedule was not in terrupted.
 The wrecking crew was sent down and after about 1-2 hours work un- der the direction of Inspector Ladd. the car was replaced on the rails. The car was in good shape with the ex- ception of the front fender, and there was no indication of what caused the derailment, it was stated. The pas sengers were shaken up, but were not injured.

Representative Thomas (Democrat)
OF Kentucky expressed the belief dur
ing the course of a speech in the house
yesterday that the Illinois miners
strike would interfere with the Re-
publicans at the next election He
said that strikes during the McKin-
ley and Roosevelt administrations had
increased from, 100 to 100 per cent
over the Celevland administration"
There is some reason for this last
statement quoted. During the Demo
cratic administration of President
Cleveland every man with a job was
holding on to it for dear life. There
are never any strikes when the jobs
are scarce and there are unemployed
man waiting outside every plant for
chance to get the Jobs of the men in
side. It is only when work is plenty
and the country Is prosperous that the
strikes occur. Representative Thorn
as made very poor Democratic
argument when he called our atten-
ton to this fact.
