Thirty Feet Down.

Battling With Bog-How Two Hum
 dred Feet of Hartford Track Sunk Out
 of Sight Yesterday NIorning-The Same
 Old Spot-A Curious Spectacle.
 The bog through which the Hartford road passes two miles north of Meriden, where the train accident occurred a number of weeks ago, and where great deal of work and constant watching has been done by the railroad, again made itself historical yester- day morning The embankment supporting the track caved in again at ? o'clock yester- day morning, but fortunately not when a train was passing. The night watchman just escaped going down also. Shortly after the sinking away the down owl train-the same one wrecked before-due here at 3 o'clock came along
 When the 8 o'clock a. m train yesterday reached the scene the sight was a singular one. Two-thirds of the width of the en- bankment for a distance of at least two hun dred feet was gone. At either end the con- neeted steel rails sloped down into the chasm at an angle of about sixty degrees and for a distance of dozen rods all that denoted the line of railroad track were the telegraph poles, still standing upright, but only five or six feet of their tops appearing above the bog East of where the embankment had stood were immense broken layers of tena- cious, spongy peat, piled in confusion one on the other, as though some reSistleSS force had upheaved them. This undoubtedly was the case. The locality, as shown by the western side of the road, is very steep hillside par tially submerged by peat bog, on which the embankment partially rests. The jarring of passing trains with the weakening effects of recent rains have probably allowed the heavier gravel to insinuate itself between the hill and the peat and forced the latter out and up. That this has been going on for some time is evident from the fact that gradual settling has been noticed for two months. In fact, ever since the last accident the work of enlarging and strengthening the embark ment has been going on increasingly, and large amount of extra material had been piled on the eastern side, rising high above the track. All this mass went in a moment, and not vestige remains
 The watchman on duty at this point, who has been employed there since the slide in April, reports that the embankment went off with noise like the report of 8 gun. He was on the west track, and saved himself by chnging to the rail. He had no time to give any warning, but his wife in the cabin near by came out in her night dress and at his suggestion stopped the midnight train.
 Superintendent Davidson was on hand with gang of men at about in the morn ing, and before o'clock had repaired the west track so that trains could pass Frogs were put in so that trains from both direc- tions could pass on one track The western track was made secure by moving it bodily from the weak eastern side about six feet to the west. Vice President Reed says he be- heves the road has reached bottom at last and there will be no more trouble at this point after the road is repaired.

[Chicago Telegraph, Sept 90
A very prominent Republican, who
would not object to having his name
mentioned If 1t were not for the fact
that his concern is closely identified
with the leaders and the movements
of the party, returned yesterday to
Chicago from trip OF several weeks
through New jersey, portions of New
York, and Ohio. He was asked:
"What do you really think of the sit
uation from what you saw and heard y
"The jig is up very quickly.
"With whom 2"
s'The Republican party, this cam
paign."
"You are very candid"
didn't you ask me for candid
opinion -
"What are q few of your reasons for
your conclusion 7"
First, Hancock's personal popularity
aud his lighting record.
"secOnd, his old soldiers, many of
whom are office holders under Mr..
Hayes, are for him enthusiastically. /
from feeling this enthusiasm for Han
cock if he goes where have been.
Third, the people believe that a change
would benefit the country"
"Then yon do not think Hancock's
election TO the Presidency would have
any depressing influence on business ~
cit isn't my opinion that am giving
it's what I've heard. Toyour question
no. That is piece of nonsense, and !
have means of knowing it, for business

Mrs. Crawford was known at Belvi-
dere, Ills, as Big Kate, on account of
her great size and strength. She took a
nine-year-old girl out of an orphan asy-
lum to work, and s1on accused her OF
stealing seven cents. The child was
permitted to choose between confessing
and getting whipped. She had not sto-
len the money, but she said she had in
order to escape the punishment. Then
she was commanded to tell where the
cents were hidden, which Of course she
could not do. Big Kate whipped her
three times day for week, at the end
of which time the girl crawled off into
the woods and died.
