Car Strikes Carriags-Aeeident on
South Coventry Line Late Friday
Night.
The firsts trolley accident in a long
time on the South Coventry line. hap
pened Friday night when the car due
at the Main street terminus at eleven
O'Clock struck n carriage owned by
Murphy Bros. the Church street 1iv-
cry firm, in which was Orrin S. Nc
Kahn of Jersey City, who of late has
been employed at Norwich State hos
pltal. The accident happened on West
Main street, on the bend of the road
above the residence OF A. c. Andrews.
Mckain was driving east and the car
was coming in the same direction.
A young man sitting on the front
seat of the trolley said Saturday that
OF making, the bend of the road the
carriage could not be seen AS soon
as the searchlight on the car showed
the carriage ahead the motorman put
on his brakes and pulled the warning
whistle. The driver needed the warn
ing and started for the side of the road
but was not quick enough to escape.
TIE car struck the rear wheel and
threw Mckain ont. He struck in the
road On his face and was badly bruis-
ed,
The car was stopped and McKain
was taken ABOARD. At the police sta
ton the parties concerned were ques-
toned by the officer in charge. Then
Mckain went and had his bruised face
attended to. The matter is now be-
ing investigated. The running board
of the car caught the rim of the rear
wheel as the wagon was leaving the
tracks. The carriage was twisted SO
suddenly by the force of the collision
that the horse was thrown and slight
~ cut and bruised. Mr.. Murphy has
said that the full extent of the in
juries to the horse would not be
known for several days. The wheel
which was struck was wrecked: it was
forced ahead by the blow so that the
axlue was sprung and the reach splin-

Price of Milk Raised,

Milk producers in this section are
elated to find that the prices of their
product viii be raised by the Milk
Contractors association in Providence

shortage in those cities and so many

helped make the supply even less. The
producers. q in number, in Columbia,
Liberty Hill, Lebanon and other places
who send their supply to the Provi-
dence Dairy company were notified by
circular letters Saturday that dating
from July the price would be 80 cents
per ten quarts for the month, and in
August it would be further advanced
to 40 cents. AS the price previous was
= cents for the amount named. it is
quite gratifying. During June some
OF the farmers in the places named
Were visited by the city milk inspector
of Providence and the inspector CT the
Providence Dairy company. They re-
fused to accept the milk on grounds
that the sanitary conditions in and
about the stables and milking places
were bad. This the producers say
there was nc cause for. who with SYM
pathizing producers refused later to
send their supply of milk to Provi-
dence. Conditions appear to have
changed. The circular letters to the
farmers ask that all concerned send
all they have at the prices named.
