ALarge Rock Tumbled bowl m

Accidents on the Danbury and Norwalk railroad are not of frequent occurrence, but one happened last Saturday night which might have proved serious one. In the cut near Branchville large rock became loosen ed by the rain and fell down, lodging close to the side of the track. The down freight, due at Norwalk at 9 p. m., struck the rock, dam aging the locomotive and some of the cars, but not throwing them from the track. The damage will probably amount to several hundred dollars. No one hurt

A ACoroner,s Induest.

Yesterday morning jury of inquest was summoned to inquire into the cause and manner of the death of Emma Gibson, col ored, who died at her home, No. 3. Rose street. Monday evening, as reported in the COURIER yesterday morning. Coroner Boll- man caused 8 jury to be summoned as fol- lows: John G. Healey, J. K. Benham, W. A. Countryman, T.eJ. Crowley, Benjamin F. Ess and George l. Cummins. ss
 The jury viewed the body, and then heard evidence. The testimony showed that the woman was addicted to the free use of intox- icants, and having had previous trouble with her husband, she went to Linde's drug store on Congress avenue and obtained half an ounce of laudanum in a tumbler. This she took home and drank, from the effects of which she died.
 The jury, after discussion, returned the following verdict
 That Emma Gibson came to her death by laudanum. self administered, and we find that Jacob Linde, druggist, is censurable for care lessness in having sold the poison in an eper tumbler, and we recommend that druggists generally use greater care in dispensing opi ates and other poisons
