Ftre a Draw1ng Room Ger.

Just before reaching this city this morning the early east bound mail train had sensa- tion. Loose paper in the coal box of the smoking car suddenly burst into flame, the fire being caused by heat from the stove. Fer few minutes there was prospect of a serious confagration. The cry of fire from at least dozen men, all at once, aroused the brakeman, who was at his post on the plat form, and the water boy, improvising his tin tank into an engine, hastened to the scene, and with one well directed stream quenched the devouring element Varnish and paint were blistered and scorched, but aside from that no damage was done. From this city to Stratford the car was a smoking car in it's truest sense, and it was possible to remain inside only by keeping doors and windows open.-BTTdgepOrt Standard.

 Ebert AtWater was bachelor, living in Plymouth, near the Thomaston river. He owned one of the finest farms in that section of country and occupied house with his mother. On Monday he was in Thonaston transacting business and driving about with his lawyer, E. J. Fenn. At about II o'clock Monday night Mrs. Atwater was startled by the horse rushing into the yard, driverless and reekiug vet as if having run a long dis tance. Naturally much alarmed she feared that evil had befallen her son, and shortly her worst fears were realized, for two men appeared bearing his unconscious body, they having found him by the roadside. Drs Goodwin of Thomaston and North of Water bury were speedily summoned and on exam ination found that he had suffered 8 fracture of the base of the skull and could not live The unfortunate man did not recover con sciousness and died on Tuesday at noon. The only tenable theory is that his team ran away and threw him out.

The plaintiff was send ing his horses to New York and in the tenn porary absence of the groom remained in the car, which was suddenly collided with by oth- CT cars Of the company. He was thrown down and severely injured. At first it was believed the injuries were external only, but they afterward proved to be internal also. The case having been technically defaulted, the hearing is as to proper damages. The defense is that the plaintiff ought not to have been in the car. Ex-Governor IngersoII, ex- Judge William B.
