RAILROAD accidents are not often means
of the saving Of life, but such was the case
recently at Newcomerstown, Ohio. A freight
car was smashed by collision, and in it
were found two men insensible from cold.
They had sneaked in for a free ride, the
door had been locked, and, as they lay near
tae roof, on some cotton bales, without room
to move their limbs, night at zero would
have killed them if they had not by chance
been discovered.

d. Co.'S.
 Edward AIaliey 6 Co. had their grand open ing yesterday. It was an event in New Haven, as the grand new emporium of the firm was fully completed. It is indeed a fine establishment, worthy of the best in the metropolis itself, and twenty years ago that such an establishment would have been seen in New Haven in 1882 would have been deemed most visionary. The great empori unl IS palatial in appearance, vast, and never such a stock shown as is shown to-day by MT. Malley and his already highly popular partner, Mir. Medley The vast throng that filled the immense store were comment that spoke volumes of the reputation of the con- cern. To fully describe all the departments would be repeating what thousands saw yes terday. There is grand millinery display, and the suit and cloak department is like wise great center of attraction. The silk and dress goods display 24O feet in depth, 32 feet wide in front, and extends 1O4 feet in the rear and main body of the store. On the main floor there are 28, 4O9 square feet of retail floor and STA running feet of retail counters. The upper floor contains 4 1875 feet of retail floor and 42o feet of retail counters. The basement will bs occupied by the wholesale depart ment. large representation of New York importers and prominent men in the trade and gentlemen from other large cities were guests of E1r. Malley last evening, and 8 fine spread by Barkentin was set before them. Among them were:
