The City Inspector called the attention o1 the Board to the condition of some of the Telford pavements which were in bad condi- tion, especially the one on Congress avenue. He thought frost was the occasion of it. Chairman Pond thought the large amount of water running over the roads made the pavements rut up.
 The chairman stated that Mir. Donnelly asked that Grace street be hardened with stone from East Rock. He would cart ma- terial for 50 cents per cubic yard. MT. Don nelly had stated that the Toad was hardened from Grace street to his Quarry. The matter was tabled until some future meeting.
 The salary of the Street Inspector was fixed at $1 800 for the year ensuing with an allowance of $4O0 for horse.
 The election of Superintendent of Parks and Inspector of Sidewalks was postponed until the next meeting.
 Clerk Waldron stated that the term of of- fec of the bridge tender at Quinnipiao bridge would expire April 1st.

Death on the Rail-TwO Trains Demol-
 fshed-An Express Train Derailed and
 a Wrecking Train Plunges Through n
 Bridge.
 ST. LOUIS, March 2.-Further particulars of the double accident on the Hannibal and St. Joseph railroad yesterday are as follows {: The first accident occurred to the west bound passenger train from Chicago due at this point at S:3O a. m. The train was behind time, and was running slow in consequence of bad track, and at point six miles west of Macon broken rail was encountered, and the engine, baggage car, two coaches and one sleeper were thrown from the track and badly demolished. It was pitch dark at the time, and the cars, in leav- ing the rails, turned completely over. The engine fell upon the smoking car, in which were fifty-seven emigrants. It was pre- sumed that many were killed.
 As quickly as possible a huge fire was built and telegrams sent for assistance to Brookfield, where wreckipg train was inn mediately dispatched for the scene of the passenger train accident, with orders to run wild. The train consisted of caboose, con- taining doctors and helpers, an engine and one car, and when about ten miles from Brookfeld, in crossing Brisle creek bridge, the structure gave way and-the whole train was precipitated into the creek, the engine falling on the caboose which contained the wrecking force, completely demolishing it. Every person on the train was more or less injured and several killed. In about two hours second wrecking train was started from Brookfeld for the scene of the Brisle creek accident, and about ten o'clock returned with the dead and wounded. There was great excitement in Brookfeld All the men on the wrecked train re- sided there, and many of them hav- ing families. Before the train which had been sent to their assistance left, the depot was crowded with women and children, who uttered the most heartrending and agonized sobs; and when the train with the killed and wounded reached the station the scene was beyond description. All were well known, and as one body after the other was lifted from the cars it was surrounded by a weeping family. The injured by the passen- ger train wreck were taken to Macon, where all are receiving the best medical aid The dead are as follows: Dr. c. H. Wood, W. A. Hallett, George Zewick, Arthur Jany, John Comnious, F. c. Tacks, all of Brookfeld James Tisdale, engineer Henry Simpson, of St. Louis. Several of the wound ed will undoubtedly die, which will increase the total number of deaths to 12 or IA.

 LONDON, March 2.-The protection bill has received the signature of the Queen .and is now a law. It is reported that number of arrests from the ranks of the Land Leaguers, and especially of offensive agitators in Ire land, will be made at once.

The item incorporated by the Senate committee appro- priating $3 95O 73 for the expenses of the McVeagh commission to Louisiana in April, 1877, led to some sharp political debate, in which Messrs Conkling and Thurman took part, and was finally laid on the table with out dissenting voice. Amendments appro- priating $2O GOO for the purchase of the pa- pers of the Confederate Generals Bragg and Polk also led to debate and was rejected.
 An amendment was offered by MT. Bayard authorizing the Secretary of the Treasury to apply any portion of the surplus money in the Treasury he might deem prudent to the purchase or redemption of U. s. bonds not to be applied to the sinking fund, but to be cancelled and destroyed, was adopted and the sundry civil bill passed.
 The Vice President announced his sigma ture to the funding bill and to the river and harbor bill. The House bill supplemental to the funding bill was received from the House and read a first time. Mir. Merrill objected to second reading and it was laid aside.
