 Caught in the>Rain.
 Willie Golfers comedy Caught in the Rain, was put to shame yester- cay by an informal farce which was enacted in Kensington by trolleymen. All the crews. excepting possibly one, saw the joke and laughed and the in- cident was the chief topic of discus sion today in trolley circles.
 Owing to the fact that repairs are being made at the switch in front of N. B. Tay1or's Hook and Eye shop, it was necessary yesterday afternoon for passengers to transfer trolley cars at this point The crews were also orr dered to transfer. It happened that Motorman Renn and Conductor Stall bush, who have been working during the hottest days in the summer on the closed cars, were transferred to -one of the open cars just the thunder shower blew up. Neither was provided with a raincoat or any other kind of protection from the deluge but both stuck to their posts and were drenched thoroughly, much to the amusement of their fellow employees, who had taken the closed car and kept dry.
 No sooner had the storm abated than the unfortunate crews car came along and they again took possession. Then the sun came out in the west and made some people happy, but not Renn and Stalbush.

 If this substance were kept out of the beds it is said that the sewage would filter much better.
