TROLLEY GAR: ON STEEP GRADE IN PERIL OF WRECK Prompt Action of Conductor, After Motorman Jumps,
 Averts Disaster

A fuse blowout on an oak street Car of the Connecticut company, followed by the jumping of the motorman as the car began its descent on the hill toward the congested corner of Main and congress streets, precipitated panic, among the many passengers last night, and a wreck similar to that of four years agos in which number were, hurt was narrowly obviated by the coolness of a conductor and an 1n- spector.
 Conductor William Hill of 12S East Main street, whose record with the company shows his quick presence of mind in several emergencies, and In spector George Day, living in Golden Hill street, are credited today by wit nesses with having averted a most se- rious accident.
 f A heavy car of the Seaview avenue Oak street line had just begun to climb the Congress street grade at S:15 last night when the controller box fared up. The car was of the closed type and we'll filed with passengers, many of whom were women, at once began to run back down the hiD. The motorman is said to have jumped from the platform.
 Conductor Hill ran to the back plat form and damned the hand brake with all possible force, ringing his gong vio- lently as a warning to traffic on Main street. Inspector Day on duty at the saw the car sliding slowly towards his position and stopped all traffic waiting at that point. He or dered persons to throw rocks under the wheels and by this means, and the hand brakes, the progress of the heavy weight was permanently stopped.
 Tests made this morning of the air brakes which the rhotorman declared to have been defective disclosed that they were in perfect working order, according to official statements.
 !, A similar accident on the night of September g, 1912, caused the wrecking of two cars, one of which was thrown through the windows of a saloon then occupying the southeast corner. Sev- eral were seriously injured and later recovered large damages.

Within six months the extraor dinary merit of Tanlac has so im- pressed many thousands of run down men and women that the original Tanlac company was unable to fill orders beyond a limited territory.

LAND IN BEDDING
 BEING PURCHASED
 BY HYDRAULIC co.
Milk Situation Clears Some what and Outlook For
 Producers Brightens.

Bedding, Oct 5-The latest land purchase in this section by the Bridge port Hdraulic Co. is that of Henry J. Kennels farm in, Sanfordtown, near the Weston line. The property ad- joins the John Peters tract which the company acquired few weeks ago and comprises about 100 acres with buildings. It was formerly the Col. Rogers place and the large house is of the Colonial type and times. MT. Ken nell bought the property about 12 years ago for about $1,600. What the water company pays for it has not become matter of public knowledge, but guess concensus places the fig ure at about 5000. Recently the com pany bought from Miss Elsie M. Crosby considerable tract located in the Good Ridge section to the east of Pleasant Valley, and formerly owned by Miss Edna Goodsell. Still another purchase is that of tract from Jacob Beck of 72 acres lying in the Hope we'll district. A brook which empties into the Aspetuck river runs through the property. Four acres are within the Bedding line and from the recent search of the records the interesting discovery was made that, this town had never levied any taxes against this particular parcel.
 :. As the local producers understand it the milk situation in relation to the Bridgeport market has become some what less tense. Word came on Tues day that the Mitchell Co.,, the city's largest distributor, had met the pro- ducers' price scale. an encouraging circumstance as far as it went, but only a temporary and partial solution of the problem raised by the pasteur- ization requirement which has been expected to go into effect in the spring. This requirement. is estab- lished by the board of health. The latter body has, since its first pro- nouncement, modified the proposed regulations regarding unprocessed milk. Under this relaxation raw milk, produced under the sanitary conditions prescribed and delivered within "A hours after it is taken from the COW may go to the consumer. A further concession as to rich milk permits to to have a much larger bac- teriological content than was origin ally proposed.
 4HC representing lH0 newly formed cooperative dairynen's league met in Danbury last Saturday and made considerable progress with their work. Several Litchfie1d county farmers, who now send their milk to New Yorkk handlers, made known their wish to- join. the association. While definite action on various essen tial proposals is yet to be taken the committee are said to be generally in favor of establishing plant in Bridgeport to serve as league head quarters and provide a place where surplus milk may be made into butter or otherwise utilized to prevent waste. It is the present idea, however, not to install pasteurizatfon equipment un- til the necessity for it becomes ap- parent. The reason for the delay is that several of the city's largest inde- pendent dealers, fearful of being put out of business by tho Mitchell and Borden companies, are arranging to put in pasteurizing apparatus.
