The Washington express owl train due
here at 2:3O a. m. yesterday went Off the
track at New Rochelle junction. 1t was at
1:15 o'clock. The train was running quite
slowly, twenty miles an hour or less. The
switchman usually changes the switch for it
as it is rolling in. This time he went as
usual, but for some reason or other he could
not move tit stuck fast. Seeing it was i'm
possible he stepped out of the way. The en-
CINE was reversed and the brakes put on, but
the engine, baggage car and the forward end
of the passenger car went off, ploughlng up
the ties, rails and earth in a remarkably lively
manner The car wheels were imbedded
nearly the whole depth. The engineer didn't
Jump off, and, strange to say, the locomotive
Jumped back on the rails and upon the very
track it would have taken if the switch had
worked. Thereby it was probably saved
from going down an embankment. A wreck
ing train from this city reached the scene at
$500 The engine arrived here with the train
at 945 with two cars of the newspaper train
as well as its own cars. No one was hurt
and there was but slight delay to trains.
Funeral of Little Eva Louise Brown.
The funeral of little Eva Louise, aged five
years and eight months, youngest daughter
| of F. M. Brown, of Brown, Bolton q Co.,
took place yesterday afternoon at O'Clock,
| from the residence of the afflicted parents
| No. 245 Orchard street, and was very pumer-
ously attended by sympathizing friends. As
one and another looked upon the face of the
little sleeper, the thought that indeed rare
l ho1 ad
could but have occurred. The little one was
a child of much promise and great attractive
ness, whose memory, precious indeed to the
bereaved parents whose household has thus
been invaded by the ''eruel reaper whose
| name is death, % is also dear to many who re-
call the innocent prattle and the winsome-
ness of the little sleeper. The little sister
| will be sadly missed by the older children of
the household and her other young compan-
IONS The Rev. DR.. HARDWOOD officiated at
the last sad ceremonies The floral offerings
were very numerous and beautiful, and in
cluded a number from the employees of
Brown, Bolton & Co.. gladly bestowed in evil
dence of their sympathy and esteem for their
employer and his estimable lady. The little
grave in Evergreen cemetery was literally
covered with the lovely tokens, and Mr. Dor
man, the superintendent, remarked that sell
dom had he seen at the grounds such beau
tiful and admirable array
Oysters, White Fish and Dog Fish.
The Savin Rock Fishing company's men
have had considerable work this season thus
far, but the returns in white fish have been
very scanty until yesterday, when they had
fair luck taking a number of boat loads, each
boat having capacity for 10000 of the fish.
Their seine stretches away below Savin Rock
perhaps third of a mile from shore. At one
time this season the seine captured few
| white fish, but any number of dog fish, many
| of which were of large size, about six feet in
length. The dog fish were utilized for ma
nure, just as the white fish are, the products
of the seine being sold to the West Haven
and Orange farmers. The white fish season
| is now opening and before it is over doubt
less million or more of them will be har-
vested in the seine off the Rock.
Mr. Bradley, owner of the point below
Savin Rock, is busy with his oyster culture.
| With another party he owns eighty acres of
oyster grounds west and northwest of the
| new lighthouse. He also owns sloop of
| about forty TONS in which he brings many
oysters every season from Port Jefferson and
Norwalk and deposits off the point and
has them thus in store for his customers at
savin Rock, Radcliffe in this city and others.
They are very fine oysters, fattened in the
salt water. Last winter Mr.. Bradley, on &C
count of the ice, took from the water and
stored away in his storehouse several hun
dred barrels of fine oysters, layer upon layer,
right side up, thus keeping them for two
| months in splendid condition. The star fish
are found only IN snaaa t humDers at i. the
| from this, one of the greatest devourers-
next to man.
