TERRIBLE AND FATAL COASTING ACCI-
sENT.-A telegram from Meriden, Tuesday,
February =, 2 a. m, says: One Of the most
deplOrable. and vet singular accidents that
ever occurred in this city took place on Mon
day evening at about $50. 1t seems that
party of young men and ladies had formed
themselves into what is termed cOasting
party, and had constructed for their evenings
pleasure ''double- ripper The sleds were
50 arranged as To accommodate about a
dozen persons at time. AT the time of the
accident there were ten persons on the sled,
going al the rate of a mile a minute. When
about half way down the hill, the foremost
person, Mr.. VIM. Minchin, in attempting to
steer aside from passing sleigh, was by
some defect in one Of the runners of the sled
forced upon post standing by the roadside
The collision was so very fOrcibly made as
10 throw all the occupants from their seats
The result OF the collision was the killing of
Mr.. Minchin instantly. by ~ IS temple coming
i'm contact with the post. The rest OF the
party, although not killed, were very badly
hurt. Miss Lila Woods, thigh fractured:
Miss Addie Harvey, head and face badly
bruised; Miss Lila Bacon, hurt about the
chest, Or. T. ;. Rust, forehead gaShed. out
OF the party only two escaped uninjured.
PLYMOUTH KIssEs.-The testimony in the
great Brooklyn trial reveals singular prone
ness in giving and receiving personal endear-
mentS among certain prominent actors in the
scandal. Mr. TiltOn swears that Mr.. Beecher
Kissed him, and that he endured il. even af-
ter he knew that Mr.. Beecher had committed
adultery with his wife. Mrs. Moulton saws
that she kissed Mr.. Beecher directly upOD his
confession OF guilt and threat of self murder
Mr.. Beccher is represented on several occa-
SiOnS as laying his hand careSSingIy upon
MI. MOUltOn'S shoulder; and from a question
put 70 Mrs. MOultOn by Mr.. Beecher's coun-
set, ii would seem that an attempt will be
made TO show that not only Mrs MouIton
but also Mr.. MOultOn and Mr.. Tilton were i'm
the habit of kissing Victoria Woodruff. On
reading these things the profane reader is re-
minded of the pOpula. quatrain:
a. saw Esau kissing Kate.
The fact is, all three saw:
/ saw Esau, he saw me,
And she j saw Esau $"

THE WAR OF THE MONOPoLIsTs.
features of the great railway war remain
unchanged, Both sides are firm, and declare
that they Will not move nor be moved. Phfla-
delphia and Baltimore are each confident
that the campaign will eventuate in their
gain. AT the west there is a general feeling
in favor Of President Garrett, of the BaIti-
more and Ohio road, and he is hailed as the
peoples friend and champion. In Kansas
the legislature has gone so far as to pass reso-
lutlons laudatOry of the Baltimore railroad
King, recommending his road to popular pat
ronage. This would all be very nice were il
not Tor The fact that President Garrett is one
OF the most daring and successful mOnopolistS
on record. His road has been built up by a
monopoly of the Cumberland coal traffic as
people who live along the line of the Balti-
more and Ohio read can testify TO their cost.
or course, when competition threatens him
ne IS compelled to be generous, and finds il
profitable TO play the role of a great public
benefactor. Just now he is doing a fine stroke
OF business in this line. and the results must
be peculiarly gratifying TO him. Eastern
men, however, are not to be caught by chat:
They know something of the history of mo-
nopoly in Maryland Mr.. Garrett is less a
friend OF the people than OF his pocket.-N

hampton, of Paris, has lately issued pam
phlet containing history of several remark
able cures OF typhoid fever. The doctor re-
CARDS this disease as sort of paralysis or
asphyXla of all the vital functions occasioned
by breathing poisonous atmosphere ema-
mating either from a typhoid patient or from
some other morbid source. By his experi-
ments he has practically demonstrated that
great advantage is to be derived from the use
OF open air in treating the fever Moreover,
ne declares that there is absolute immunity
from contagion in the open air. The cures
which he reports are ascribed mainly to the
ifee admission of outdoor air TO the patient's
bed room. He argues that the patient cannot
su1er from the application OF this remedy,
either in danger from other diseases, or from
the temperature of the atmosphere If the
patient is kept warm in bed by artificial
