DRIVER CAVES IN
 THIRD STORY WALL
Miklauskas' Machine Heada Toward es Street in Unusual Accident
 on Seymour Street.

r
 Joseph Miklauskas a green driver, headed his automobile to- ward a. brick wall on the third floor of the Handy Garage and Sales com pany's building at the corner of Elm and Seymour streets this morning, stepped on the gas and hit the side of the building with a crash that caused it to bulge for several feet on each side of the point of contact. Had the car. been given but a few more feet to pick up speed, those who witnessed the unusual accident are certaint hat Miklauskas would have driven out through the wall to the pavements three stories below. The crash into the wall caused the motor to stall, thus preventing fur ther damage.
 The Miklauskas car was badly damaged, the front lenders, radiator and wheels being stove in. So dangerous was the condition of the wall that the sidewalks beneath were closed a pedestrians to prevent the possibilities of persons 'being in- jured by falling bricks. 1t will be necessary to tear away a consider able portion of the damaged wall to guard against cave in.

IS S3, BUT MRS. DAVIS WANTS TO DRIVE AUTO Parkmore St. Woman Gives Hard Work As Recipe
 For Long Life.

Don't try to dodge responsibilities; if you have anything to do-do it," said Mrs. Ade1ine Davis, of 23 Park more street, at the age of S3, when tributed her splendid health and activity at this age. The truth of Mrs. Davis theory was demonstrated in a striking manner, when, at the age of 82. a year ago yesterday, she rendered a reception to members of her family, at which time she pre- sented to children and grandchildren, 19 finished bedquilts, made by her own hands and embroidered with the figures S2-192O. At the age of S3 she is active, hale, hearty and happy. ShSe appears to be in as good health and as youthful in vitality as most people at half her age.
 Mrs. Davis was born in what is known as the old Steele farm. on Harrington avenue. The house, which was over 100 years old at the time of her birth, July 22, 1888, still stands. At that time the population of New Britain was so small that residents never dreamed of it be- coming the great industrial city it now is. There were few neighbors and far apart, every neighbor living on farm. She was educated in the country school house in the village. a school where all grades were taught in one room and not under the elaborate system Of public schools now in vogue.
 More than 50 years ago she be- came the wife of Samuel T. Davis, and for some years past has been a widow. One son. Samuel c. Davis, was an ondcer in Co. D, First Connec- ticut Volunteers in the Spanish American war, and lost his life in action. There are. seven children 16 grandchildren and great grand children, who assembled at the home of her son-in-law, Senator Edward F. Hall, where she resides, last evening to wish her many happy returns of the day. Among the grandchildren

 WARSHIPS LEAVE HOME BASE

Dispatches From Madrid Hint That
 Native Treachery May Have Been
 Responsible For Setback to Spain's
 Forces.
 Paris, July 23.-A serious setback has been suffered by the Spaniards in the fighting with the rebellious Moroccan tribesmen, says the Madrid correspondent of the Journal today, who quotes dispatches from Melilla, on the northern Moroccan coast.
 large contingent of the tribes men attacked the advanced positions of the Spaniards near Melilla and desperate hand to hand fighting en- sued, in which hundreds were killed or wounded, the correspondent de- clares. General Silvestre, commander of the Spanish forces, is said to have been wounded. The fighting is still continuing. the correspondent says.
 Reports Minimized.
 Information from other sources, considered reliable, tends to mini mize somewhat the gravity of the situation. The spaniards, it is de- elared, have evacuated one of the positions they previously had oc- cupied, but no especial seriousness is attached in Spanish military circles to this.
 The Spanish battleship Alfonzo VIII and several gunboats have sailed from San Sebastian for an un- known destination.
