DEUTSCHLAND WENT UNDER
 WATER TWICE, AT PIER
Remained Below Surface For Forty
 Minutes First Time.

With the departure of the famous German sub-sea merchantmen, the Deutschland, a probability m the near future, motion picture operators from New York and Boston f1ocked to the state steamship terminal once more Tuesday morning. Their presence was a reminder of the weary weeks some of them spent there in the early fall waiting for the arrival of the Bremen.
 The feature of the morning at the pier was the submerging of the under sea freighter. The first time she went down at 9.2Q and remained covered until 1908. @The length of her second submersion could not be obtained. The motion picture men tried hard to get films of her going down or emerging from the river but they were unsuc- cesSful.
 Apparently there will be no dearth of provisions for the homeward dash. Beside the large supply taken on board Sunday, two whole lambs and a 1uan- tity of potatoes were included in the cargo Tuesday morning.
 There is much speculation as to the time of the Deutschland's leaving but the general belief is that the depar- ture will be deferred until late in the week. Old mariners hold to the opin- ion that at just this time the moon is too high and that Captain Koenig will prefer to wait until the nights are darker.

CAR LEAVES RAILS.
Speeding Up After Passenger Jumps
 Off, Trolley Slides From Iron on
 Sharp Curve.

As the 6.45 car from Franklin square for Yantic neared the Falls, a man jumped off and was knocked down. The car ran back to see if he was badly hurt. He was able to walk away, so the car went on at increas- ed speed About the sharp curve at Peck's corner, it left the track, as probably wet leaves were on the rails. The passengers were thrown to the floor of the car. but no one was se- riouSly injured From seven to nine o'clock cars came to Peck's corner and returned to the square. There was no communication with Yantic. A jit- ney took the passengers to Yantic from derailed car. An attempt was made at 8.45 o'clock to get the car onto the iron by fastening it to another car. Then they had to go back to the car barn for a heavy iron bar to lift the car. Passengers for Bean Hill and Verga- son Hill then walked home. Acci- dents due to wet leaves have occurred at the same place before.
