Intoxicated Woman at Depot.
As one of the early morning troll
leys was passing under the railroad
bridge ON Pennington road this morn
ing a shrill voice was heard shout
ing for the motorman to wait, A
woman dressed in the height of fash
ion was seen coming down the road
which leads to the depot with her hat
| in her hand and her disheveled hair
| flying over her back. The path
which she was travelling evidently did
not appear to be straight enough for
her for she ran in zig-zag fashion and
gurgles of laughter fioated out into
| the air. She was in a happy frame
of mind and seemed to be having the
time of her life in racing after the
car. US
| The motorman Stopped and waited
| for his would-be passenger. When
: the woman reached the trolley it was
/, easily seem that she was under the
influence of liquor
.'Isss this the car Cor H-ar-hiccup-
ford?" she asked brandishing a
| ticket for the desired place. She was
| politely informed that the trolley was
| going to Berlin and not to Hartford.
| The name Of Berlin greatly pleased
her and a huge smile quickly spread
| over her face. ~
| WE'LL cant you change this
/ for q t-i-c-c-k-ee-t to B-e-e-errrr-lin =
again the conductor informed her that
he was very sorry but it was impossible
! for him do SO. AS the car moved
| away the woman was seen chasing two
young n1en whom she had taken a
| sudden liking to. The gallant knights
were evidently woman shaters and did
/ not like the attentions forced upon
1 them When last seen both I. were
/ making across the lots FOR q safe
/ hiding place.
Selectman William H. Gibney hap
pened upon the scene at this moment,
took in the whole situation in a
/ moment He inquired of the young
lady where her home was and when
informed that it was in Hartford he
/ escorted her to the railroad station
and waited until the train for Hart
/ ford pulled in and put her safely
aboard it. When last seen she was
leaning out OF the window and throw
ing kisses to the amused spectators.
| Judging from the appearances OF
the girl she was about twenty-five
