HARTFORD June :, 1879
The committee appointed 30 examine into the OF
the railroad disaster Norwak submitted their report to
the Legislature to day After abiding TO the general Incl
dents of the disaster. published by the papers and
brought out in the verdict OF the jury the CON
mttee say that they Of opinion that the immediate
cause of the disaster the negligence Of the engineer IN
NOT observing the absence of the signal snd his reckless
mes, in running his tain at dangerous rate Of speed IN
approaching the bridge round the curve.
But the Committee Of opinion that the responsibility
for the disaster does not entirely With the Engineer
and acquit him of any wul They say the danger
was created in entire conformity the express orders Of
the Company and therefore their duty use such
means Of safety would prevent the possibility Of
cidept The Committee think the signal used insufficient
and say that with dag should have been stationed
10 warn the Engineer Of bis danger They also say that
the train was run such grade exists at Norwslk at
rate of speed entirely unsafe Another closely connected
cause is the rate Of speed made by the express tram The
public demand a rate Of speed which, the road a.
originally constructed scarcely be with safety
The road was constructed Cheapy the high

for double track, and sti more is needed TO remedy

cause tending 10 produce this add other disasters is
The want of thorough supervision of the road by is OIL
GERS So far the Committee could ascertain. the whole
duty Of supervision is deyOlyed upon Mr. Whistler thu
Supe rntendeut They have the fullest confidence in his

the chances of disaster la conclusion the Committee
pressed the opinion that the weight of responsibility for the
calamity must rest upon the company, for not guarding

THE RESULT.
sOrs

THIRTY.THREEr THOUSAND MAJORITY yes
terday for the Amended Charter noble Inauguration
Of the new era which we trust now daEning upon
iobswinded and playground City. Not only is the
iorty overwhelming but the vote considering the cir
cumstances is quite full and fullest just where the
voters are most intelligent and have the deepest stake
in the government of this Emporium. There never be-
fore was such vote cast by any party in any city-a
vote so strong in all the elements Of intelligence public
spirit and moral worth-as that of yesterday We
doubt whether one man voted against the Reform that
any friend thereof expected desired should vote for
it, And We don't believe hundred votes in all
cast against the Amendments except by persons directly
under the influence of corrupt Aldermen and the Obbers
who share with them the plumber of our rayaged City
One good blow has been struck but this will avail
nothing unless followed by others. For once the up
right, moral intelligent majority Of our citizens, who
are willing to support good Government and don't
want to be supported by any sort of Government,
have acted together and have awed Corruption back to
the dens and hidingpaces it should have been
embroidered to quit. Never before did the Polls of
City Election witness such perpetual succession of
voters who knew what they there for aud did not
consider the wearing of clean shirt aristOcratic.
Rowdyism, Drunkenness and Brutality were cowed into
their proper humility and all peaceful and decOrous
as the most timid or fastdiOus could have desired.
good blow has been struck; it must be followed
up. The voters who yesterday inaugurated Municipal
Reform must go forward hand in hand to secure and
copsummate it, What has yet been done will avail
little without an honest and capable Common Council
to execute what the People have decreed Away then,
with the folly or fraud that would divide and destroy
the Reform host which has just achieved so noble
victory Let it 90 forward unitedy and zealousy TO
the election Of Common Council which will neither
steal nor wink at others robberes Let Politics be
forgotten in this Election let Caucuses and secret
vire.puTDg be dsregarded, and the best and truest
men be chosen in each Ward regardless of party So
only can eur City secure the proper fruits of yester
day triumph

Some extraordinary proceedings in regard to the
Trainer child took place yesterday Judge Barculo is
sued habeas bring up Rose Cooper aud the child
and Deputy Sheriff from Kings County, with the au-
thory of sheriff Orser of this City and the aid of OF
his deputies undertook execute the mandate The child
and the woman were found at l0l Mercerst placed in
carriage and taken to the Office of James T. Brady what
for it is not difficult to guess. The carriage was then
sent off and returned with Captain Rynders, who
followed by fifty of bis friends. The Brooklyn
officer wished to take the child before the Judge, but
was resisted by Orsers deputy who had got possession
Of the writ and refused to give up the child Orser then
nterered and revoked the power which he had just
ferred upon the Brooklyn officer and the latter went
home empty handed. Attachments were Immediately
issued by Judge BarcuO to bring Rynders Rose Cooper
and Cromley, (Orser's deputy before him to-day to
answer for this defiance of law.

not honorDg the Savior but the contrary. Nay We

sorfed by its downfall does not profoundly appreciate
the character the Messiah bore and the work TO which
