Band Tournaments,

It took fifteen cars drawn by engine 51 one of the strongest on the New York and New England road, to convey Colts band and their friends from this city this morning. en route for Rocky Point, to attend the band tournament. Every car was crowded, and many objected to go on account of the crowd. At Burnside and other places addi- tions were made to the number; at Willi- mantle four cars more were insufficient to supply the demand, and so it was all along the route, the assemblages testifyine by cheers and otherwise their high opinion of Colts band.-Hartf07d Tunes, 19th

ABuI. in an Iron Store,

While drove of cattle were being driven through Front street yesterday afternoon, a bull entered Ezra Clark's iron store, below ing and paving the earth and in other ways making himself at home. The bookkeepe was in the office and the bovine made for him. He rushed into the door, tossed up an office chair and then looked round for the &C., countant, who evidently didn't think his pen was mlghtier than the sword, but had hur- rledly dropped it and was scrambling for place of safety. The bull was temporarily monarch Of all he surveyed, and as the book keeper surveyed him from his hiding place he thought his ''stalwart'' look betokened that he was no ''half-breed'' Until driven out he was boss of the situation-bulling the iron trade and bullying the bookkeeper.- Hartt0Td Tunes

Fatal Ra ilroad Smash-Up.

An Engineer and Fireman Killed Out-
 right-The Other Engineer Terribly
 InJured-A Fireman Injured-Nev
 Haven Trains Delayed.
 An express train and an accommodation train on the Hoosac Tunnel Line, of the Fitchburg railroad, colided yesterday near Zoar just west of the Hoosac Tunnel. The express bound for Boston stopped at Zoar, the third station this side of North Adams, and after short wait, through some misun- derstanding, proceeded, instead of waiting for the accommodation to pass at Zoar. The consequence was that the express smashed into the accommodation, both trains going rapidly. The engineer of the accommodation, Joe Moore, was killed outright, as also the fireman of the express, named Prescott, while Engineer Carlin of the express was terribly injured and not expected to survive, and his fireman was badly, though probably not fatally hurt Strange to say, none of the passengers were injured seriously, though the shock was great and many were bruised. The two locomotives reared up upon each other and were awfully wrecked. The Miller coupling, it is thought, prevented the cars from telescoping and thus saved many lives. Many wild rumors prevailed, among them one which reached this city that nine lives were lost.
 The new train on. the New Haven & Northampton railroad, Conductor Woodruff, Engineer Bartlett, was delayed by the smash-up six hours, not arriving here until 10 o'clock last night. The up train, Con ductor Somers, was delayed corre- spondingly and after the wreck was cleared proceeded to North Adams and was not expected back in New Haven till this morning. The down Canal train was stopped at West Postal, where it took on board all the surgeons that could be collected at North Adams and other near places, also a number of railroad officials, and proceeded to the wreck. It was down grade where the ac- cident occurred, with the river on one side and hill on the other. Engineer Moore was scalded terribly. The two men looked peaceful in the embrace of death, their faces showing no mark or injury.

Shooting Affray in a Saloon.

Two Men Wounded by shots From the
 PrOPrfetor's Revolver.
 On Monday night about 7 o'clock two young men, known as Anthony Bolan and John O'Byrne entered saloon on New Brit ain avenue, Hartford, known as the 'cBoule- yard House" kept by Charles Stewart, and were furnished with drinks for which they paid Another young man named Wiggins joined the crowd and called for drinks, and when they were furnished refusedvyto settle. Other young men ordered drinks, which the the proprietor refused to furnish until those previously ordered had been paid for A genuine row ensued and O'Byrne throwing off his coat advanced toward Stewart, who was behind the bar, calling out, 'eWill have more if I have to kill you" Stewart drew his revolver and fired twice. The first shot took effect in O'Byrne's head and tine second struck Samuel Wiggins in the shoulder. All of the young men then ran out of the saloon and began throwing stones at the building. At length Bo1an went to the saloon door and asked for O'Byrne's coat, applying vile ep- ithet to Stewart. The latter fired at Bolan, but the bullet missed it's mark and struck O'Byrne in the arm, three inches above the elbow joint.
 After the affray O'Byrne walked to his fathers house on Glendale avenue and Dr. G. B. Hawley was called to attend him. He was so much under the influence of liquor that it was thought best not to probe for the bullets. He was removed to the hospital yes- terday and the balls extracted. The wound in his head is on the right side, about an inch in front of the ear. His wound though dan gerous is not of fatal character
 Stewart went to the police station and sur rendered himself, while the others were ar rested.
 Samuel Wiggins and Anthony Bolan were before the police court yesterday morning charged with assault on Charles Stewart Stewart was also charged with assault on O'Byrne, and George Wiggins was charged with breach of the peace. All the cases were adjourned until Saturday, Stewart being held under $500 bonds, Wiggins and Bolan under $500 bonds each and George Wiggins under $500.
