Nsw HAVEN, Conn, July 6.-The &C.
cident at Stoney Creek this morning, on
the Shore Line Railroad, occurred as
follows: The train, after taking on two
passengers at that station, started for
this city. The station.master, VIM.
Beach, replaced the rails just before the
rear truck of the last car had passed the
switch, consequently the train bumped
along with that truck off the track few
rods, until the trestlework over salt
marsh was reached, when the rear car
rolled off the bridge down 10 feet to the
meadow below, dragging with it all the
rest Of the train except the locomotive
and tender, The cars were badly de-
molished. Superintendent Wilcox was
in the baggage car, and as soon as he
felt the jolting OF the rear car on the ties
jumped for the bell rope and rung the
bell, and then jumped out of side door
into the marsh. The car Immediately
followed and fell on him, breaking his
neck. He was quite young man and q
very efficient officer. He leaves wife
and one child. Owing to the som ersault
turned by the passenger cars few escaped
without some injury. The Palladium
of tomorrow morning will contain list
OF LOT persons who received injuries, but
most of them We're not Of q serious char
acter. There are two or three whose
cases are critical, among whom are Geo.
Davis, of Guilford, and Rev. E. Z. Hail,
of Fairhaven. Several have broken an
arm or leg. A Coroner's jury this
evening rendered verdict that Superin-
tendent Wilcox came to his death by rea-
son OF the careless act of the station.
master, Beach, but the latter claims that
he did rot reverse the switch until the
train had passed and he had noticed that
the rear truck was off the track. This
explanation is not credited. The train
was purely local one, and the casual
ties are contend, with few exceptions,
to the inhabitants of this city.
