An Arabian Peddler Foaad Alongside
Street Car Traok with Braised
Body-Rally at V. W. A. Room. .
About 7 o'clock last evening an Ar
abian trinket peddler was- injured by
being severely bruised on tho head and
body, and whether he fell off m. street
car or was run over by a wagon could
not be learned. He lost a large quan
tity of blood and was found wandering
about aimlessly by the watchman at
the Menrinw Rrnok breaker.
The fellow's head was very painfully
bruised and his clothes were coverea
with dust from head to foot. The evi
dence of his condition would indicate
that he had fallen off a street car,
though the conductors do not remem
ber carrying such a passenger. His
box was broken and the. contents scat
tered over the road. He was kindly
cured for by some of the people living
neur the scene of his mishap, me oioou

ing of Qetting Togothcr.
There Is a movement now on foot to
consolidate the two popular central
young men's societies of the centra)
city, John Boyle O'Reilly Council of
the Young Men's Institute and the St.
Aluyslus society, a literary organiza
tion connected with St. Peter'a cathe
dral. t
Hev. J. J. B. Feelcy Is chaplain of the
Young Men's Institute and spiritual
dliertor of the St. Aloysius society. At
a Meeting of the Young Men's Institute
last Tuesday night Rev. Father Feeley,
In the course of an address, suggested
the amalgamation. The Young Men's
Inntltute agreed to consider the matter,
an 1 the St. Aloyslus society, at its mart
ini; last night, appointed a committee
to represent It In a consultation with a
similar committee to be appointed by
tho Young Men's Institute next Tues
day night. The St. Aloysius committee
la composed of Hon. M. F. Sando, M.
H. Griffin, William F. McOee and Rev.
J. I. B. Feeley.
Such a consolidation would probably
mean the upbuilding of another In
