Accident.

A HouSatOnic Train off the Trnek-A
 Bull Charges on the Train-Three Men
 Hurt.
 As the passenger train on the Housatonic railroad which leaves Bridgeport at p. m was nearing Botsford's Wednesday evening, and rounding a curve, the engineer beheld @ bull on the track only short distance of, and pvt on the air brakes and reversed the engine The bull grew belligerent all at once and charged for the locomotive. The battle was of such brief duration that the bull had no time to consider what killed him. His remains encountered the track and threw the locomotive down six foot embankment into swamp. The cab was torn of and thrown few feet ahead and on top of the engineer. The forward truck of the tender crashed into the cab and the rest of the ten der shot ahead of the engine over thirty feet. The express car went of the track on the other side into field. The baggage car was turned over, one end was smashed in and the baggage was scattered about. The engi- neer, George Bowers, was picked up uncon- scious and was found to have received scalp wound and some bruises, and may have been injured internally. Fireman Ira Horsford was bruised, as was also Express Messenger Tucker, whose injuries were quite serious, and were caused by the falling upon him of express bundles. The passengers were badly shaken up, but none were injured. The track was cleared by midnight. The engine is badly damaged
 The engineer stuck to his engine to the last. Had the bull been cSlor- blind perhaps the accident would have been avoided, but the sight of red paint on the engine IS sup posed to have excited his wrath.

A Smash Up.

Freight Train Drives Into a Passenger
 Train-New London Northern Road
 Three Men Hurt-A Queer Sight.
 Early yesterday afternoon freight train from New London on the New London Northern railroad, while winding curve at Thames Grove, ran into 8 passenger train which was discharging visitors to the Prohi- bition convention which was held there. MT. E. A. Gessner, the druggist of this city, with the other members of the State Pharmaceu- tical Association who were served with 8 dinner at Kittemaug, about a mile below, visited the scene of the accident. It seems that the engineer of the passenger train, per ceiving the freight train coming, started up his engine to get out of the way, but the en- zine started with such bound that it bnDke from the train and shot up the road, leaving the train where it was. The freight train engineer put on air brakes and reversed the engine and leaped for his life, as also did the fireman. The freight locomotive, which was the heaviest on the road, crashed into the rear car of the passenger train, and drove the whole train ahead about hundred feet When it stopped the engines smokestack was gone, and one end of the rear car lay on the top of the engine minus it's rear trucks, while the other end rested on the rails. Two persons in the rear car were badly scalded and one other person was hurt. The pas senger engine was driven at rapid rate to New London for doctors and probably took back several It is reported that one man had his leg broken. The freight engine went to New London taking along the pas senger car in the position above described.

Fire.

 Barn Burned at WOOding's Stables
 Three Horses SuKocated-TwO Hacks
 Burned.
 Last evening at about o'clock the bells struck an alarm of fire. Two boxes were pulled at about the same time which caused a mixed alarm. The fire was in small barn in the rear of the principal stable of c. M. Wooding on Grown street, above Park, en- trance by gangway on the Park street side. The flames lit up considerably, and were seen by people at the West Haven shore. The fremen with their usual promptness soon had the fire under control, confning it to the building in which it originated, while the frame was partly saved. Three horses, how ever, perished in the barn by the flames and smoke, and two hacks were also burned, also some minor property. Mir. Wooding's loss was estimated at over 1000; partially in- sured. The barn belonged to the Benham estate.

 Annual Picnic of the Woodbridge Congre-
 gationn1 Church-A Handsome New
 Chapel.
 About POO Woodbridge people picnicked at Savin Rock yesterday, members of the Con- gregational church and Sunday school of the town. Many of the prominent members of this hourishing church were in attendance, MT. Marvin. The party came down in pri- vate teams, and in returning made quite Q procession up the Woodbridge hills, remind ing somewhat of the Flair days.' The pie nic was appointed for Wednesday, and part of the members had their picnic on that day, coming to the shore, but not having very good day, as it proved. The day yesterday was all that could be desired. The ladies of Woodbridge, proverbial for good providing and hospitality, spread the tables at Skeeles' pavilion, Savin Rock, most abundantly. and the dinner was great triumph. The success of the picnic was aided much by the efforts of MT. John J. Baldwin, the very efficient superintendent who was indefatigable. MT. Walker, the musical director and ex-super- intendent, as usual also placed all under obi gations to him. The church is having a fine addition built, 38x25, which will contain 8 lecture room and parlor for the ladies. It is nearly completed, and will be dedicated with appropriate exercises, probably early in September. The whole church feel indebted to MT. Clark Beach, of this city, who was formerly Woodbridge man, for the gift of two elegant center pieces, one for each of the two new rooms, and which will add much to their fine appearance.
