Stratford. July 16.-s'We found the money,' said John Ennulat last night as he entered the town clerks office and handed a roll of bills to Judge Peck. The roll was counted and found to contain just s79 the amount claimed by John Castellot who left a roll in the pockets of his trousers which had been taken to Ennulat's s tailor shop to be cleaned. Ennulat and his journeyman tailor were ar rested yesterday charged with theft; The case was continued but will now be dropped as all that, Castellot want ed was the return of his money. En- nuIat said he found the money under a box under the table where the clothing was pressed. A search war rant was issued yesterday and was at the time the money was found, in Wheeler Castellot identified the money by a marked bill which had figured in a decoy game on prev ious occasion. Castellot withdraws his charge and EnnuIat will not be held responsible for the disappear ance pf the roll. The moral Of this tale is so evident that it hardly needs mentioning Don't leave your bank roll in the pockets of your clothes when you send them to the tailor.
 The overhead system of the Bar mum avenue trolley line dropped again last night and traffic was held up between the hours of 7:3O and g o'clock. The stretch between King street and the Franklin school was out of commission during that per- iod. The trolley wire hung as low as two feet from the ground in places. The damaged section was burned out and the current was cut off at King street. The danger to life and limb along this long stretch may be l fa of 6 wires, highly charged has become an almost daily occurrence in town and the residents are wondering when conditions will warrant them to ven ture~ on the streets without being thoroughly insulated.
 The big auto truck of the New Method Laundry company backed off the bank on the Ferry road near the Stratford Inn yesterday afternoon. The rear wheels hung over the em- bankment and were gradually settling down with prospect that the whole outfit would soon be dumped into the marsh below when the steam roller passed. The engineer quickly slipped a heavy rope equipped with an emer- gency hook to the stalled machine and had it safe on hard ground in a few seconds. The prompt action of the engineer probably prevented ser- ious damage to the laundry. truck
 
 corning the method of handling the brilliant search lights on the front of the trolley cars that it is evident that if the company does not make a change there will be serious trouble. Several accidents which have hap pened recently in the town can be laid directly at the doors of the troll ley company. The lights are so pow erful and blinding that they absolute ,y obliterate everything else when they are approaching. They are par ticularly objectionable to motorists who are often obliged to stop their cars to avoid the danger of hitting some team or object. William A. Stagg recently paid a goodly sum in damages to a wagon which his car hit when he was blinded by an ap- preaching trolley car. The accident m which two persons narrowly es- capped death in a buggy last Satur- an approaching search light which terrified the horse. The motormen on cars equipped with these lights are supposed to shut them off when vehicle approaches and also when passing through villages. The mo- tormen either neglect or forget to do this and the result is harrassing. Four New Haven cars going west passed through the town last night without shutting off the search lights party of automobilists stood in front of Tuttle's drug store and made the count. Whether the trolley company could be made to pay for accidents which result from this practice is a question of law but the company is morally responsible and should take notice before other lives are charged up to it's long account.
 Leroy Ladd discovered symptoms of poisoning in his valuable Boston bull dog last night. He took the dog and his arms and boarded a trolley car taking the patient to a veterinary in Bridgeport. His prompt action probably saved the dogs life for though recovering the animal is very sick. There is no denying the fact that Stratford is oyerdogged and that
