o'clock Sunday afternoon left the
rails and dashed into a trolley pole,
breaking 1t down. Few passengers
were on the car. Mrs. Robert Stewart
was severely bruised.
Saturday near the scene of this ac-

Army IL In Readiness.

Thesc geservists had fought in the Trip
oil war and the contingents were conse-
quently numerically weak owing TO the
casualties Of that war and the exemption
from service of all who had been seriously
wounded. The class OF 1894. which should
have Joined the colors In October, was
accordingly called. and thus further 100. =
GOO men were added to the army besides
about 10000 who are drafted into the ter
ritorials. Al present the strength OF the
army is about 10000 men, of whom about
10000 are serving In Libya and the .Fgean
Islands. The recruits of the last levy are
being trained under the system known as
intensified and they are expected TO be
fully efficient In about forty days.
Owing to the Increase of the army's
