Freight Cars Off the Track at the SpiIe
 RrSd~


 Seventeen freight cars, all but four of which were loaded, composed the day freight train due in this city at 6:45, Saturday even- ing. Engineer John Southworth ran the To- con1otive, and, as the heavy train slowly ap- preached the vicinity of the West Haven spile bridge, he claims that white light swung and the switchman at that section of the railroad indicated that the switch was all right When the train reached the switch, which was patent safety switch, it was found that the switch was misplaced The engine and two cars passed over the tracks safely. When the next car struck the switch, however, there was crash and similar shocks followed the passage of several suc- ceeding The trucks of many of them had left the rails and were bouncing over the ties. The engine ran POO feet after passing the switch-nine of the cars jolting over the 1 ties meanwhile upon displaced tracks-and stopped but little way short of where the spile work commences.
 ] On taking an inventory of damages there | was general surprise to discover how com 1 paratively slight they were. The derailment l of eleven trucks under nine cars upon sin | gle track looked like formidable blockade l but it was found that none of the trucks 1 were smashed, or even wrenched out of their | positions upon the cars. No one on the | s1 nAI 1oo AOCSAFOA eAAJ AAJuA1oS duu nll Cuo l cars were intact and not very far astray from | the rails.
 l Engineer Southworth ran his engine and 1 the two freight cars to the new depot and l then attached his engine to wrecking train 1 in charge of Master Mechanic Kittendorf. I About four hours after the accident, by the | vigorous work of the men under MT. Kitten l dorf, the track was clear and the delayed l trains coming from the east and south began ] to run usual. The up trains delayed by 1 the blockade were the 1:l4 accommodation,
 the 75O express, the 9:3O Boston freight ex- l press and for 8 few minutes only the :46 | express The down trains kept waiting were | the 644 White Mountain train, the o'clock l Bridgeport special, the 7:45 milk train, the 1 SEA Boston limited train, and the S:45 | Providence special Two or three of the l down trains were consolidated before being
 dispatched.
 l From what can be learned concerning the | condition of the switch at the time, the indi- cations point to the switchman, M. w. Cor
 man, as being responsible for the derailment
 of the cars. Still he partly planes the en- | gineer for not observing the red light on the l switch, which he says was 8 sign that the
 switch was not all right. The engineer as-
 serts that the responsibility entirely rests
 upon the shoulders of the switchman, and | the position taken by Engineer Southworth 1 is supported by information regarding the | switch lights gained from several of the 1 train hands who took particular notice of l them and also by the whistling for down ! brakes.

 Michael Clark's Denth-The Jury.
 The coroners jury which investigated into the circumstances of the death of Mi
 chael Clark, who died Friday morning from injuries received in the New York freight
 yard, this city, consisted of Henry Plumb (foreman), John c. Collins, Moses Thomas, l.. H. Freedman, T. c. Anderson and E. w. Werdon. The jury examined William A. Hotchkiss, tally clerk in she freight ofice John Mafitt, James Gaffney and Patrick Me Cormick, laborers Ansel Austin, freight agent Lyman Fenn, freight yard conductor, and Brakeman Patrick Keefe. Michael Galla gher and Matthew Dunn, all of whom were at work in the freight yard at the time that Clark was caught between the two cars. The three laborers, who composed portion Of the gang in which the unfortunate Clark was at work, testified that they were matching" cars in the freight house wh n the accident happened that two cars were kicked down by an engine i; and that between the two kicked cars and some matched cars Clark was caught. None of the laborers could see brakeman on the kicked cars although the rule of the yard re- quired that one should be in position on cars as they moved into the freight house; neither did the kicked cars, so the witnesses testified, stop at certain distance from the stationary cars, which was another violation of the yard rules. Ansel Austin told the jury what the ! rules were in kicking into the freight 1 house. The freight yard lconductor, Fenn, l said that he told the two brakemen, Dunn ! and Keefe, to couple the car that crushed against Clark, but he did not know whether his orders were obeyed or not. Each of the ! brakemen testified that they were not on the car that did the harm to Clark.
 The jury viewed the remains and the local | ity of the accident and returned a verdict to | the effect that the death of Clark was caused 1 by negligence on the part of some of the em ployes of the freight yard, but owing to the contradictory statements in the testimony the l jury were unable to locate the responsibility on any of said employees.

 s'The 1889 Garden Party Seem and
 Gen. Grant.
 A prominent young New Haven gentleman writes from the Grand Union, Saratoga Springs, under dato of August 24 as follows: Again this delightful spot is the scene of such display as is only to be viewed here of all places in the world and makes the fairies look with envy. In particular tonight passes all previous efforts of the managers of this palatiai hotel. To night, too, we have the especial attraction of the pres- ence of General Grant, who with Judge Hilton and several ladies, are on the balcony of the cottage overlooking the grand platform where the merry dancers are whirl- ing to the sweet strains of the music from of the spot and fairy magnifcence of the scene is beyond my power. Only those who are here can imagine it. The lawns, acres in extent, are completely crowd ed with the moving masses, while the piazzas and all available chairs are occupied. From the trees are suspended in fairy form thou sands of paper lanterns, while several cleo tric lights render all as bright as noon day The fountains too are illuminated with the hues of the rainbow, and streamers with flags and banners from tree to tree give va riety of the view above. Even nature smiles upon the occasion, as the night is clear, the air soft and the moon bright Last night abundance of rain fell to refresh all things and one might think the world had sent out it's people to render thanks for it-for several hours a constant stream of people has been pouring through the office corridors, and lucky were those who had the needed pass to enter. Certainly ten thousand are vie .ing the magic spectacle At the center of the lawn Is fine platform, 50 by 15O feet, with 8 waxed floor and sur rounded with seats for 800 dancers At the side, in a gaily comparisoned bower of plants and palms, are the musicians, and the dancers-well, they are mostly young people in the height of enthusiasm and gotten up regardless of expense in every variety of dress from the short plush to the long trail ing satins and all kinds of lawn dresses, white, blue, pink, violet, diamonds and flowers without limit. At nine o'clock the music began and for hours the merry throng will dance and promenade to it. This afternoon the little ones had their turn and lively time they had too-more beautiful, if possi ble, than an army with banners. Never has the place appeared more full than now. Soon the tide will turn and the twenty thousand strangers will go back to their homes to re- member with gladness these pleasant hours

ter Chnrch.

Attendance at the Center church yesterday afternoon was good and the gentle rain seemed to give no hindrance, but only making an agreeable break to the long dry weather. Rev. Dr. Anderson, of Waterbury gave an interesting sermon on communion with saints in heaven in this our earthly state from Heb. xii 19, p, 23, in which, under the figure of Mt. Sinai and Mt. Zion, the old and the new dispensations are strongly contrasted. To the latter the joys of heaven on earth are added, expressed in the words of the text. It declares that in our day of grace, in ac- cepting Christ and his salvation, we come into the presence of the angels in heaven, the true church on earth and the spirits of just men made perfect The scripture teaching, the speaker sad, as to the heavenly state is not according to the Spiritualists' belief, but that Christian relationships here on earth are renewed in heaven is clearly taught.

I4unhas, Prejudice.

Some one has wisely said 'There is nothing stronger than human prejudice |" and this is true. Especially some minds prejudiced against proprietary medicines, Because some such medicines are shams, they leap to the conclusion that all are. As well say, because some physicians are quacks, all are. There commercials of all good things, even of gold coins and greenbaczs. But there is true money, and there true medicines. Among the latter is Hunts Rem- edy, true and tried, and with the testimonials of hundreds who have been healed and saved from the grave by it. For all diseases of the kidneys. the liver, the urinary organs, it stands without peer. Physicians prescribe it, and the sick bail it with joy. Isn't it cheaper to buy bottle of it yourself, and take it according to directions, than to pay for your prejudice by receiving it at the hands of your physician at ten times the cost? a2S eod3t
