BRIDGEPORT FIGHTS WITH TROLLEY CO. Gty Insists Gorporation Continue Tracks on E. Washington Ave. The Russians have southeast of Hartford, July 28.—Bridgeport had the before the public utilities commission. The matters heard related to a difference of opinion between the Connecticut company and municipal authorities on questions pertaining to the trolley service. The company was represent- ed by Attorney Harry Day, and Seth Baldwin, General Manager J. K. Pun- derford and C. H. Chapman, mana- ger of the Bridgeport division. The city was represented by Corporation Counsel William H. Comley, Mayor Clifford B. Wilson, City Clerk Rob- ertson and a few members of the becard of aldermen. The first matter heard was the ap- peal of the Connecticut company from the refusal of the city author- ities to approve the company’s plan for the abandonment of the trolley tracks on East Washington avenue which have not been operated since 1910 on account of the condition of the bridge over the Poquonnock river. The tracks extend for a distance of about 3,000 feet. The claim of the company is that the traffic did not warrant the running of cars over the tracks for the distance involved. It has been understood that if the company is required to continue the use of the tracks it will be asked to pay a part of the construation of the new bridge which the city intends to build and to which it will form a part of the highway as the old bridgo does now. The contention of the city was that the growth of the northern part of Bridgeport within the next two or three years would make the use of the new bridge ab- solutely necessary. The next matter taken up was the appeal of the company from the or- der of the eity to lay a duct from Pembroke street to place near Stratford avenue. Lawyer Day made the point that the position involved was a legal one. Decisions in both appeals were reserved. WIFE MADE MISTAKE Farmer, floor today a But Robert Lucas, Virginia Is Not Going to Permit That to Spoil Her Whole Life. York, July 28.—Holding each like two frightened children in a very dark wood. Robert s, a prosperous young farmer, of White Post, Va., and Annie, his pretty young wife, waited for an hour last night in the Pennsylvania station for 1in to take them away from the city they fear and hate, back to their own little farm, where two small| children await them. They were en- acting the last scene of a very old story, the trusting farmer—the brash city farm hand—and the easily led young wife. As Lucas explained, the while petting his wife’s arm, “Annie made a mistake. Over in the Raymond street jail William E. Coleman sat in a cell, swearing to get square with every one in the Brooklyn directory. He will | probably be taken back to Virginia be- fore the end of the week to answer a charge of shooting a man.

Last year Coleman, fresh from New | York, in fact exceedingly fresh, no matter where he hatled from, accepted | a job on the Lucas farm and pro- ceeded to tell Mrs. Lucas about a city where there was no night, where the women hitched their shoulders and | hooted “I don't care,” and where fifty theaters were thronged every night, A few days lnter she was in a Brooklyn tenement with no money and a great longing to go home, Lueas learned of her whereabouts | afte long search and came hero yes- | terday with a warrant for Coleman He forgave his wife and her happiness | was pathetic.

It is estimated that the Turks had between twenty-five and thirty divi- sions between the Black Sea and Mush—approximately 350,000 men. Three months ago the Turks under- took a comprehensive campaign, in- tended to recapture Erzerum and in- cidently to draw troops from the Russian European theater, General Eudenich, Russian commander in the Caucasus, succeeded, however, in hold- ing the Turks in the Erzerum district while delivering an effective blow at them in the Mush district. In order to counter this flanking from the south and a similar effort from the north the Russians were obliged temporarily to abandon Mam- akhatun, fifty miles west of Erzerum. The Russians now have captured Trebizond, Balburt and Gumish Khaneh and reoccupied Mamakhatun. The Galician advance of the Rus- sians has caused the Germans to with- draw troops from the Balkans and Turks were sent there to repl them. The Russians, quick to sec the Advantage thus afforded, started a vis orous offensive toward Erzingan. Only a rear guard battle preceded the cap ture of the town, the Turkish m: forces having been beaten and forced to retreat toward Sivas. Colonel Shumsky, military critic of the Bourse Gazette, in an article on the victory of the Russians at Erzin- gan says “This defeat of the best troops of the Ottoman Empire has quite broken the Turkish defence. No furth serious offensive can be expected, since only part of divisions from the Constantinople, Thracean and Egyvp- tian armies can be spared to patch up these broken units. The Russians are pressing closely around Brody, where there has been hitherto the least advance of their lines. Further north in the directicn of Kovel and Vladimir-Volynski, and further south in the direction of Kolomea and Delatyn the Russians have gained ground much further west. But in the Brody sector their lines have been little advanced for the last month. The Austro-Germans have been des- holding the Russians to the of the upper Styr north of Brody in an endeavor to prevent an advance on Lemberg from this direction, Brody is much nearer to Lemberg than either Kovel or Kolomen The Russians already have heid the Rov Temberg railroad as far as Rad- iloff, almost on the Galician fron- r, for more than a month, and now they are reported officially to be in Galicla attacking the Teutons twelve miles north of Brody, and on the northwest they are within six miles of the town. The Austrians have withdrawn along the Slonevka and the Boldurodka rivers, which are two smgll affluents of the Styr. RBrody is fifty-three miles from Lembers for DEMAND U.
