of the detail will act as color bearer

out to meet, the Governor there will be

Collision.
Last evening as Mr. Harry Rider
was driving through West avenue,
when beside the horse car switch, op-
posite Dr. Benedict’s, SOuth N orwalk,
a team, driven by Mrs. Ascher, who
keeps a store at the end' of the iron
bridge, opposite 'the Electric Light
Co.’s plant, was crowded in between
the Rider carriage and the car, and
there not being sufficient space for the
two, Mr. Rider’s. carriage Was broken
down» and his mother and all thrown
out, though fortunately not seriously
injured. Rider had to go to South-
Norwalk and procure a new vehicle,
.while Mrs. Ascher, it is said, drove
rapidly away for the Bridge. She will
be called on to make good the damage .
caused by the careless driving of her »
horse and for being on the wrong side
of the street. ‘ But that Frahk Swift, a
:clerk of the Old Well Cigar Co., hap-~.
pening to be near at the moment of the}
collision and seizing the Rider horse, a
serious'runaway might have been the
result, The delivery-wagon that did '
the damage, was being driven by aboy. .
Narrow Beoape. ,
. Yesterday, the oil stove used in
'Druggist Hale’s kitchen,'owing,‘as he
thinks, to the terrible-atmospheric heat
causing the emission of seme' subtle
vapor and other inflamable gases, all
of a sudden flamed up and all over its
Surfaces. The ' frightened ‘inmates
called for help and soon aneighbor
rushed in and pitched the blazinguten- ,
sil out an open window and into the
yard, where it soon burned itself out,
without doing further damage. That
no one was burned or any injury done
to the kitchen, is as remarkable as it'
was fortunate. Too much care cannot
be taken in theuse of all these inflam-
able fluids during this, excessively hot
weather, as it is known that coal oil,
and other similar compounds emit a
yolatile and invisible vapor that is.
dangerously inflamable. . '
