The Bull and the Railrond Accident

The three men injured in the accident on the Housatonic road below Botsford station, Wednesday evening, are all doing well. An effort will be made to get the wrecked engine out of the swamp on Sunday. The Water bury American relates as incident of the disaster that passenger expressed his sym pathy for George Bowers, the injured engi- neer, by slipping five dollar bill into his pocket. About the same time the owner of the bull which threw the train from the track came along and declared that the rail road company would have to pay for the ami nal. The passenger who had given Bowers the bill heard him talking, and by way of comment on his conduct planted heavy blow in his face with the remark that he could take that in part payment and call around for more of the same sort when he felt like it.

The Manchester Liouor Cases.

The cases in Manchester for violation of the license law which have been on trial at Cheney's Hall, in South Manchester, have created good deal of interest in that section of the State. It will be remembered that W. w. Cowles was tried on the reputation clause, but verdict was rendered because it could not be proved that he was the real own CT of the place. He was yesterday, however, convicted of selling liquor without 8 license and was fined $50 and costs Cornelius Sul- livan, of the same town, was also convicted and fined $1O0 and costs. Both parties took an appeal. R. s. Pickett, of this city, ap- peared for the State, and Judge Blydenburgh for the defense
 While MT. Pickett was at Manchester he was presented with very handsome silk flag by Cheney Brothers, the manufacturers, with silk attachment on which appear the names of Garfield and Arthur. The company make these flags for both political persua- sions and there is great demand for them.

The Sea Serpent Again.

The sea serpent has again made it's appear ance~in the Sound. Ii was seen Saturday week by party of four coming from Sand Point to New Rochelle. Among the witness es was one lady, and this fact will give great weight and credence to the story, and will be a sort of guarantee against assuming, as usu- al, that the men who testify as to the exis- tence of the monster were ver-stimulated or visionary.
 ''Our informant,' says the New Rochelle Press, ''states that he observed it the first of his party; it looked something like 8 swans head and neck; while trying to make it out he called the attention of the rest of the party and asked what the funny lodking thing was before the party could look at the animal, it's head had disappeared, and it's body, which appeared to be about fifteen inches in diameter, was in view almost as suddenly the body disappeared and the tail of the serpent was raised in mid-air to the height of fourteen feet. The tail seemed to be perfectly flat, eight inches to the water line and tapered to point. The tail stood in perpendicular position for few sec onds, and after flashing the water in a foam disappeared. The whole party in the boat were witnesses of the maneuvers of the ser pent The positiveness of the assertions made by the party leaves no doubt tqat there are such monsters who disport themselves in the waters of Long Island Soundn

Political Matters.

The Hancock Veterans in Sessfon-The Central and JefTersOnfan Clubs Propose
 to Hold a Mass Meeting.
 The Hancock and English Veteran Club held meeting in Whittlesey's Hall last evening, the president, Dr. E. L. Bissen, in the chair. There were about two hundred members of the club present and thirty six new names were added to the roll, making the present membership three hundred and sixty.
 E. M. Graves read campaign song of his own composition, and at the request of the club he sang one verse of it, which was re- ceived with favor. On Mir. Graves sugges- tion it was voted to form quartette cam- paign club.
 Captain Gleason moved that at the next meeting an election of field officers of the regiment be held.
 This motion created considerable discus sion. Some thought the election of field of ficers should take place after the company of icers were elected, while others took differ ent view and advocated the election of field officers first. It was finally voted to elect a colonel, lieutenant colonel and major at the meeting to be held next Friday evening.
 Colonel Tolles expressed the hope that the membership would be increased to four hun dred at the next meeting.
 On motion of E. M. Graves it was voted that the club meet on August r to receive the National and State Executive Committee of the Hancock Legion, when it was expect ed that General Baldy Smith would be pres tent.
 The matter of uniforms was discussed at length, but no decision was reached in re- gard to the style to be adopted. The com mittee on uniforms were instructed to pro- cure samples and prices and report at the next meeting.
