 REST IN PEACEFUL CITY
Us So Quiet On Commercial Street Failing Feather Would sound
 Like Earthquake

With the Fourth Of July and all its attendant delobrations and dis turbunccs past, New Britain has once again settled down to those more tranquil ways to which it has long been accustomed, judging from the reign of calm and quiet which has hung over local police and fire headquarters the past two days. The coils in the police station are, with the single exception of that cell given over to captured liquor con- signmcntS, C0nspiruOuSIy open and empty. Due to tho lack of prisoners and eases coming up for hearing, there was no police court session this morning,
 There was but one break in this prevailing calm last night when ali accident was reported by Sergeant O'Mara at q:40 o'clock. The aCri- dent took place on the corner of Stanley and Park streets and was the result of collision of two auto- mobiles. Albert F.. Berry of 51 Har- riSOn avenue was driving a small coupe west on Park street. Thco- dore Odm of 2l Henry street was driving a touring car east on Park street and started 10 turn into Stan Icy street when the front Of his car struck the rear of Rcrry's Damage to both was slight.
 This morning the calm continued, the only thing on record being a complaint received at | o'clock from P. H. MakovsH of 54 Concord street that the lock on his garage had been tempered with and broken last night Nothing was stolen.
 A call to cxtinguish a fire in a small automobile was all that was reported at fire headquarters today. The machine. owned hy sam Gold berg. took fire on East Main near Main street last night hut was promptly put out. There was no damage.
