RaIIroad Accident,

Railroad Accident.
 freight train was wrecked Wednesday and, strange to say, it was on the New York and New England road. The accident was between the Avon street crossing and the ly reduced to kindling wood and no one was injured. A truck of the fifth car from the engine jumped Che track at the crossing of the two tracks. The first car which left the rails was thrown crosswise, as was also an- other, these two covering all the tracks at that point from one side of the cutting to the other, one of them being thrown upside down. Another was thrown up against the bank and fourth was found right side up on top of the car that had been turned com pletely over. The express for Boston was held at the union station, and that for New York was stopped when it arrived above the scene of the accident The car that lay across the Valley track was broken up as fast as possible and the fragments piled on the bank. The cars that had kept the rails were pulled away and 8 clear field left for the wrecking train. It was nearly an hour be- fore the southeast track was cleared, the re- mainder of the wreck being left pretty much in it's original condition up to that time.
 
 Union Mission.
 At 7:3O Wednesday evening the chapel was well filled with an intelligent audience and all seemed eager for the entertainment which began fifteen minutes later. There was a well arranged programme of music and literature.
 With her usual taste and skill Miss Minnie Wilcox presided at the organ through the ex- ercises. The music was both vocal and in- strumental. Mir. J. G. Willis, of the Yale law school, showed himself master of his in strument-the cornet. Ths v1calists of the evening were Mrs II. G. Thompson, Miss Angelica FelIowes and Miss Meta Fellowes.
 It was evident to all of musical taste that these ladies possess voices of extraordinary compass and culture. Miss Meta sang s'The Three Old Maids," and the house was alternately charmed and taken down..
 The vielinists were Miss Viola Sanford and Master Willie Wallace.
 The literary exercises consisted of read ings and recitations by Mrs. Sanford, one of the Sanford orators, who were present, and Mrs. Holmes and little Miss Ida Holmes of Cedar Hill Mrs. Sanford recited with char sracteristic force and clearness; and all that could be heard when Mrs. Holmes was on the stage was her own voice so intently did she hold the atten- tion of the audience. Miss Ida recited a piece which elicited a storm of applause. After the regular programme was closed by special request Miss Viola Sanford de- claimed humorous piece, the conclusion of Hezekiah chews tobacco he must 'swaller' all the juice"

Phenomenal Trottins An Previous Records Left in the shade-Frank TrOts With a Runntng Mate in a:Os Ia and l 2:IO 1.4.
 l NEw YORK, Nov. 15.-A great trotting ] match took place this afternoon in the Pros | pect Park fair grounds in Brooklyn between 1 the well khowd trotting horses and mates, James Goldings. of Boston, Fl. B. Winship and Johnny Murphy's Frank. The race was for purse of $2, 900, but well known 1 sporting man of Long Island had further aug l mented the amount by declaring that he 1 would give an extra purse of $500 if the I record of PHO 3 was lowered, and as the l result showed the amount was placed to the credit of the winner, Frank and mate win l ming in the phenomenal time of 2:O93 as de- clared by the judges, although some of the we'll known sports in the crowd said POS. There were only two heats trotted Frank and mate winning both in the short time of POS 9 and 2:10 1-4, the former time being the fastest ever trotted on any race course The first heat started of well, Winship al. most immediately going to the front and set ting the pace in very steady manner, show ing lengths lead at the first quarter. Be-
 
 several times, but he invariably dropped back again and at the half way mark there was still length separating them. Between here and the three-quartsr pole Murphy set his animal going dead in earnest, but he had hard work to overhaul the leader and when he passed the last named notch half length separated them. Once fairly in the home stretch Frank came up very rapidly, but Winship hung to him and the pair went un- der the wire separated by half length only, Frank taking the heat and scoring the fastest time on record, having done a grand piece of trotting all the way through.
 After good rest the pair came out for the second heat. This time Winship had the best of the send of and lead by half length at the quarter, when the latter seemed to tire and fell back and was fully three lengths to the rear at the half mile post. Between here and the three-quarter pole he made up two of the lost lengths, but it was evident that the first heat had told it's tale, as they had no sooner entered the homestretch than Frank began to cut up capers and broke up badly, getting defeated by a length in the fast time of 2:194. The darkness having set in the deciding heats were postponed until tomorrow, when close racing and fast time may be looked for.
