THE NEW HAVEN RAILRoAD.-It was briefly
stated that the cars on the New Haven Railroad
were detained on Saturday last, by mass of rock
which had been thrown upon the track. The Neto
London Chronicle gives the following particulars,
which, if correctly stated, justify the comments:
''But about the most reckless circumstance with
regard 10 railroads occurred at Meriden on Satur-
day. 1t seems that laborers are employed in wild
ening the deep cuttingin that town, and on Satur
day afternoon, as the train from New Haven to
Springfield was passing rock was blasted, and
a very large mass was thrown upon the track
coming very near smashing the cars to pieces and
killing some of the passengers. This very train
had on board the bodies of the victims of the hor
rible disaster at Norwalk, and it was detained
some two or three hours. Thus, on the very road
on which day or two before some fifty or sixty
human beings had been wantonly sacrificed, and
that too within few hours travel of the spot did
the managers of that railroad permit common la
borer to endanger the lives of as many more, by
throwing masses of rock as it were into the very
cars that were conveying the fnangled remains of
the murdered home to their heart-stricken friends.
At Norwalk Bridge the passengers were tumbled
into the river and drowned, and about fifty miles
further on the same roadanother set of passengers
are exposed to explosions OF gunpowder! If GRIM
