Train Jumps the Track in Conse-
 quence of a Misplaced Switch.
 There was large demonstration of Re- publicans at Wallingford last evening, which included grand torchhght procession and national salute, and addresses were made by prominent speakers.

 The special train from Meriden, bearing the tsBoys in BIue'' from that city to WaIling- ford, ran of the track when nearing their destination owing to a misplaced switch The train was running slow at the time and no particular damage was done except the delay occasioned by the blocking of trains. After '.jacking' up the cars that had jumped the track and placing them in their proper position the track was cleared so that trains could pass The train due here from Hart ford at eight o'clock was an hour and thirty minutes late in conseQuence of the accident.

Lecture By Miss Willard.
The Duties of Christian Women in Re.
 gard to the Temperance Cause.


 The Duties Of Christian Women in Re-
 gard to the Temperance Cause.
 Last evening Miss Frances E. Willard, of Illinois, president of the National Association of Christian Temperance Women. delivered a lecture in the First M. E. church. It had been previously announced that the subject of Miss Willard's lecture would be, "Who Wins"
 Rev. Mr. Mossman, city missionary, made a statement at the opening of the meeting re- garding the movement now in progress by the young women of the city to benefit their class. He said it was not strictly temper virtues to be inculcated. They proposed to have readings and recitations at stated inter vals, and would endeavor to make their meet ings 50 attractive that the young women of the city would connect themselves with the association.
 Rev. Dr. Adams, on rising to introduce Miss Willard, said: The lecture intended to be delivered by Miss Willard this evening is somewhere safely slowed away in her trunk, and this important travelling companion has not come to hand. Miss Willard is, however, at home on this temperance question in all of it's varied phases, and doubt not she will give you very interesting lecture at this time. I now have the honor to introduce Miss Willard to the audience.
 On rising Miss Willard said My heart goes out towards this Christian temperance move ment in all it's phases. I had intended to re- peat my lecture 'EWho Wins'' this evening, but my trunk with this lecture has failed to come to hand She then proceeded to speak On the temnerance reform as at present conducted, dwelling at length on the part that women were taking in this impor- tant work and said that they meant to keep cannonading until they reached the goal they were striving for. In passing she referred to former laws legalizing and regulating the prize ring the code duels and slavery, and stated that they had all been wiped from the statute books, and the crime of liquor selling which was ten thousand times worse, must go and would go. Every sin must go and nothing but truth and justice can succeed on this earth. She urged upon Sun day school workers the importance of teaching total abstinence principles. She re- ferred to the great services of young ladies in this cause, and said they were beginning to be appreciated. Honor for honor and puri- ty for purity said the speaker, is the motto that must finally govern the land. So far as my information goes, the people are not yet full ly developed in the aesthetic tastes of the com munity. In closing the speaker paid glowing tribute to Mrs. President Hayes for banish- ing the wines from the cellars and side boards of the White House, and called upon God to bless the first woman in the land for her noble example, and then compimented the ladies of the Christian Womans Tempe rance Union whom she had met in Waterbury.
 On the conclusion of Miss Willard's address a collection was taken for the benefit of the Women's Temperance Union, which was ap- parently liberal one."

"rHERE IS A NATURAL BODY

THERE IS NATURAL BODY." Immortality is my friend. know; Not summer turf nor winters snow Nor depth of earth could turn to nought So much of life and love and thought. And yet that form did intrust To kindred earth, the dust to dust, And thither still my thoughts will tend, As if to find my vanished friend. Sacred the robe, the faded glove, Once worn by one we used to love; Dead warriors in their armor live. And in their relics saints survive. And there tenderly laid down The hands that fondly clasped my own The breast that harbored all goodwill, The loving heart now cold and still. sheltering Earth, henceforth defend All thou hast garnered of my friend Against the wintry tempest's beat, Against the summers scorching heat. Within thine a11-embracing breast Is hid one more forsaken nest, While in the sky, with folded wings, The bird that left it sits and sings.

Accidentally Shot.

Thomas H. King, who has been working on the Cooke street reservoir, Waterbury, in the capacity of assistant for Foreman Severns, was accidentally shot by John Carroll on Bishop street about Il o'clock Friday night The two with the son of Peter Ward, with whom King boards on East Pine street, were going home from the performance of My Partner" In-passing up Bishop street Car roll took revolver from his pocket and dis charged it twice in the air. He fired it of the third time at random and with serious eff fect for the ball struck King in the back, en- tering the body near the spine. The wounded man was able to walk to Wards house, dis tance of about quarter of mile. Dr. North was called and found that the ball had lodged in the abdominal wall almost directly in front of the point of entrance, but he experienced no difficulty in removing it by making an opening in the front of the abdomen. The wound is a serious one, but if inflammation does not set in no danger is apprehended. Both King and Carroll maintain that the shooting was purely accidental. Waterbury 41ne31Cnn
