WATERBURY EVENING DEMOCRAT. MONDAY. MARCH I6. 1881
|TROLLEYS CRASH
 | ON WHITNEY AVE
Fifteen Persons Injured Removed to Hospitals,
 Other Taken Home
TWO LOCAL MOTORMEN

Two Waterbury motormen, em- ployes of the Connecticut company, were the operators of the trolley cars that figured in an accident near Lake Whitney late Saturday afternoon. Ffitten persons were removed to the New Haven hospitals following the crash. Six others received treatmen. at their homes. Most of the injured are residents of Hamden.
 A northbound Waterbury car in charge of Motorman Albert P. Kill bourne of 909 West Main street left the rails on the curve near the lake and shot across the opposite tracks into the path of a southbound Wa terbury-New Haven car in charge of Albert Class of "A Coolidge avenue. Both met with considerable force hurling passengers out of their seats into Q confused heap on the floor. Both cars were badly damaged. Mo- torman Class, who was thrown from his position into the car proper was bruised about the legs.
 A stone on the rails of the north bound tracks was responsible for the accidents. Only one of the score in- jured is considered in a serious con- dition. The car bound for Water bury was crowded with residents of Hamden returning from shopping in New Haven.
 An investigation is being carried on by the Connecticut company of- ficials. Saturday evening Richard J. Bennett, assistant general manager of the company after a brief inquiry as to the cause and the number of persons injured issued the following statement:
 ''The proximate cause of the acci- dent was a cobble stone on the track. The rails were in good condition. It was an act of fate that the south bound car reached the point where the accident occurred at the time the north bound car left the rails. Ordinarily they would pass at diff ferent points. The motorman of the south bound car was coasting. The motorman of the north bound car was appling the power to go over the grade. The company's investiga- ton will, however, continue"

Speakers Enliven
 Holy Name Meeting
Judge GOrmley Discusses Work of St Patrick-B0land
 Talks of Athletes, Past and Present

The meeting of the Holy Name society of St Francis Xavier church last night was enlivened by a pro- gram unusually interesting. The ex- ercises opened with dancing by John Griffin and was followed by dancing bouts by the Phelan brothers, Joseph Francis and Ralph, musical selcc- tions by Andrew Cow and his son, James, songs by Martin Gilligan, one of which 'The Wearing of the Green" was rendered in Gaelic; a humorous address by Pete Shea who managed to get little more than humor into his talk by reminding his hearers of the coming national anni- opening on February 22, and con- tinuing until Thanksgiving day. He hoped to see the society and other organizations of the kind take an ac- tive part in this celebration, and re- marked that they will have to bestir themselves to do justice to the part people of Irish birth and descent played in the struggle that made a free nation.
 Judge Martin Gormley talked on the work of St Patrick and how well the people among whom he had la bored clung to his teachings carry ing it all over the world so that the name of St Patrick is known and revered in every Christian nation on the earth. MT Gormley referred briefly to the national question in Ireland and said that while there may appear to be peace over there now, it would be well to remember that Irishmen and their descendants will have paid the debt they owe to Ireland until the time comes when the epitaph of Robert Emmet is written on his tomb, a message which the great patriot left to his countrymen not to have done until his country takes her place among the free nations of the earth.

BritOn Is
FavOrite
sensational Win by Len
viii Insure Tilt With
Walker.
BY DIXON STEWART
United Press stan Correspondent

NEW YORK. Feb 13.-Len
Harvey, long, lean Briton who
looks and acts Except in the ring
Ike anything but a fighter, will
renew his bid tonight for recogni-
tlon as leading contender for Mickey
walkers 160-pound world cham
pionship.
The pale, manufacturing Eng
hshman, veteran Of $50 ring bouts,
IS billed for twelve rounds with
Vince Dundee of Baltimore and is
TO favorite.
With Mickey Walker, reigning
middleweight, in the bad graces of
both the New York athletic COM
mission and the National Boxing
association, the cards are stacked
Tor tonight's winner to receive
recognition as world champion.
1t is certain that a sensational
triumph for the Briton would pave
the way for an international cham
pionship bout with Walker.
However, Harvey let a previous
golden opportunity slip through his
fingers when he lost to Dundee last
month after flooring the Baltimore
boy for four counts of nine in the
FIRST round, and it Is doubtful If he
can reverse the decision tonight.
