 Ffnes-Dieters Will Install. and body bruised Mary Carlos, an eight-year-old deaf mute. is in pre- carious condition at the New Britain General hospital, where she was talk en yesterday afternoon, after she had been struck by an automobile, owned and driven by Arthur J. Lunny, Waterbury undertaken. While her injuries are not necessarily fatal her condition is said to be extremely grave.
 The accident of which the, little girls was the victim occurred almost in front of her home on the South ipgton road. With some other chil- dren the child was playing in the street when the automob bile, proceed ing at fair speed, came into view. Hearing the warning siren on the ma chine, the youngsters, with the ex- ception of Mary, ran from the high way, the deaf and dumb child, re- !, maining in the path of the car, un- scious of the danger.
 The driver turned to the side of the road and was passing the little girl when she suddenly darted for the house. She ran against the side of the machine and was struck and knocked down by the rear wheel. Tn his efforts to get out of the child's way Mir. Lunny ran his auto into va cant lot nearby.
 He subsequently, picked up the un- conscious form and hurried to the office of pr. J.. c. Tanner. The phy- sician ordered the injured child's re- moval to the hospital. MT. Lunny was visably grieved over the accident and he did everything possible for the victim He ordered private room and a special nurse at the hos pital and agreed to pay all the ex- penses. of her care.
 MT. Bunny also notified the author ities although he disclaimed any re- sponsibility fer the accident. His ex- p1anation sounded feasible and it. is not likely that any action against him will be taken.
 Drunks Pay Fines.

Dolan was given a hearing Saturday night before Justice A. H. Condell and was fined $5 and costs, amount ing to $1O.3O He gave the court an order for that amount on the Ameri- can Silver company, which employs him.
 Hickey was arraigned yesterday as he was too drunk to come into court Saturday night. He pleaded guilty to drunkenness and breach of the peace and was fined $7 and costs, amounting to S13.12. His father paid the assessment.
 May Get After Speeders.
 The authorities are receiving so many complaints regarding autoists who use East Main and Whiting streets as speedway that they are seriously considering the starting of a campaign against reckless drivers, Many of the motorists seemingly pay no attention to speed laws when they are passing through Plainvfiie, and there is admittedly grave danger of accidents as result of their care lessness.
 Conditions here make it difficult to pet the proper evidence for conv1c- tion against the speed manlacs ana if is probable that the selectmen VIII be asked to get motorcycle for the use of the police in trailing macnlnes that are being recklessly driven.
