An Accident.


 Am Excursion Train Crashes Into the End
 of Freight Trnin-NO One IDJured-
 WrecIking Train Dispatched.
 Yesterday about ,O0O people from North Adams, Mass, and neighboring towns came to this city on an excursion train OF the New Haven & Northampton railroad. The excur- sion programme included three hours sail on the Sound on the steamer Elm City. The party had fine time and good many ina proved the chance to take look about the city. The party left this city to return home about 5 o'clock, the train numbering fifteen cars and drawn by two locomotives. At Hitchcock's station, about 19 miles from this city, mile this side of Huntsville, an acci- dent occurred. A long down freight train had been switched onto 8 curved siding. but, as it proved, the train was too long for the siding, and part of car projected over. This was not seen in time to prevent the ac- cident, and the excursion train from this city crashed into the rear end of the freight. The result was the demolition of one or two freight cars,. while the forward engine of the excursion train, No. 6, Egan of this city en- gineer, was badly damaged. The report came to this city that both engines toppled over into depression by the side of the road, but later report was that they did not, and that only one of them was much dam- aged The other was engine 19, Watson of this city engineer. Fortunately no lives were lost. The excursion train was rounding 8 curve and was not under full headway. Great consternation prevailed on the train and many passengers were knocked about and received contusions. As darkness was setting in, the 1000 excursionists were alarmed for fear of an all-night stay at the little village.
 A wrecking train went up from this city al half-past six, under charge of Superintendent Goodnough and Master Mechanic Fox. II was expected that the track would be blocked for five or six hours. The down passenger train due here at 8:25, and the up passenger ! leaving here at 6:2O, transferred passengers and it was expected that cars would be pro vided for the transfer of the excursionistl homeward by midnight. The down trai1 passengers arrived about midnight, in tim, for transfers to the owl to New York and th, owl going north.

Fair Haven.

Since the nabbing of one of the boys who steal fruit from peoples premises and his punishment at the City Court on Tuesday, people at Cedar Hill are expecting temporary relief from the thieves. It is exceedingly annoying when people take pains to raise fruit, watch it and prune and graft the trees, and take much pains generally, to have to sit up every night and watch, or else have their choice fruit carried of by the basket full The young rascals always pick out the best fruit and they make havoc in the or chards. A fine thing is it to have fruit if you can only harvest it

 Reported Failure of the Oyster ssCrop $ Oysters will be dearer this year, says the New York Post. Along the shores of the l Delaware and Chesapeake bays the thermom- l eter sank as low as 20 degrees below zero last | winter, and the cold covered the oyster beds with thick ice, which 'smothered'' the oys. ters, and when the ice broke up it raked the | bed and tore the oysters from their moorings | The fact that the Princes bay (Staten Island,
 beds have been invaded by the bore worm, l deadly parasite, is more serious. The chiei I crop will therefore come from Morris Cove,
 a prolifcsoyster day at the southern extrem | ity of New Jersey, and from Long Island and | the Shrewsbury river

It is quite curiosity, and has been viewed by scores of people to-day Bridgeport Standard.
