TO AMALGAMATE
 TROLLEY LINES
NIanaecr BeardsIey Plans to Run Chestnut Street and Pennington
 Ave Lines as One Full Trip.

In the early spring the Chestnut street trolley line and the Pennington avenue trolley line will be merged into one according to plans now being con- sidered by Supt. Beardsley of the Con- necticut company.
 Bv this new arrangement the car leaving the end of the Chestnut street line will go directly to the end of the Farmington avenue line and vice versa. At present the Chestnut and East Main street lines alternate each trip.
 Manager Beardsley states that as soon as he puts this new running schedule into effect on the Chestnut and Pennington avenue lines he will equip this division with the big double truck cars similar to the ones on the Berlin, Plainville and Hartford lines This will be because of the additional passengers that the cars will have to accOmm Odate. After this change has been put into effect the East Main street line will probably be run as a shuttle line and will be the only one on which the short cars are used As soon as the patronage in this city War rants it, all of the small cars will be discontinued.

was severely beaten by a guard in
Riverview park during the course of
an argument with him will be told
when a suit for $4,000 against the
amusement park comes up for trial
next week.
She is Sarah DOrnan of 1867 Lin
coin St., and, according to her attor-
new, Harry E. Wynekoop, had three
ribs fractured by an employee of the
meTryzgo-round concession in River
view. Here's the way Wynekoop
tells her tale:
Sarah, with boy friend and three
other couples, went to Riverview on
the night of July 1, 1913. The happy
crowd finally wound up on the mer-
ry-go-round at about 10 o'clock in
the evening.
The first hint of trouble at the
merry-go-round was when the
ticket taker became quarrelsome
because the last of the eight to pass
him had tickets for the rest He
snatched the pasteboards and
growled something about fresh
kids"
None of the crowd wished trouble,
however, so they passed off the re-
mark with a laugh, took their places
on the horses of the meTTy-gO-TOund
and the machine started.
As the ride neared its end and the
horses were slowing up, one of the
boys in the crowd reached back and
took hold of the tuft of hair which
represented his horses tail.
A guard standing by yelled at him
to let go of the tail, that he would
pull it out if he wasn't careful
The boy says he answered that if
he pulled out the tail he would pay
for it. The guard in reply, according
to Atty WynekOOp, struck twice at
the young fellow. AS he did so three
other guards ran up and attacked the
other boys.
Miss Dornan stepped in to save her

keep says he has several witnesses
who will testify that the guard then
proceeded to beat Miss Dornan, that
he kicked her several times while she
was on the ground, and that he
stopped only when two other women,
strangers, stepped in.
The fight was ended by special po-
lice and the party was removed tG
the park hospital for treatment. Here
it was found that Miss Dorgan had
three fractured ribs and a half dozen
other injuries. One of her boy
friends had his face sIashed by a
knife in several places; every one Of
the four fellows was injured by the
park employees.
Miss Dornan refused to be treated
in the park and was taken home,
where she was confined for a period.

They are immensely dimcult to

But we u not expect too much
