DERBY.

Thomas ROacIl's MangIed Dead Body
 killed By The Cars While Lying
 On The Track-A Disappointed
 Communicative Unfortunates.
 Thomas Roach, aged twenty-seven years, who lived on the old town road between Bir- mingham and Ansonia, was killed by the Der
 by and New Haven train about o'clock yes- terday morning just above the Sterling Organ company's works. Both his arms and hands were broken and the upper part of his body was mangled and crushed. Dr. T. B. Jew cit, medical examiner, was called and ordered the body removed to Bedient's undertaking rooms. MT. B. McDermott while going to his home Factory street found MT. Roach lying on the bridge at the foot of Factory street and woke him up and went far as the ice house with him and started him home
 and it is supposed the deceased crossed the bridge near the organ shop and started home on the railroad track. As both shoes were off, it is supposed he took them off and laid down on the track to go to sleep. He left home Saturday and had been home since, and that was in the day time. He worked while Monday and told MT. Little, his en- ployer, that he had two children sick with the scarlet fever and wanted some money to get some medicine. MT. L. gave him ten dollars It is reported that he visited saloons in the evening and was under the influence of ii- quor. He leaves 8 wife and two children
 A certain correspondent for a New Haven paper being disappointed at securing only gorbled account of the Rogers attempted sui eide, one of the papers sent 8 reporter to look the case up. He had a railroad guide, and claimed that he came from New York to Norwalk to write up the hatters' strike for the New York Times, which strike created such sensation in New York that the next day Norwalk was filed with reporters from New York city. He claimed his special work was for Philadelphia paper, and the address of gentleman was given him which may give him some clue to the case, but it is our opinion that the only regular work he performs is for New Haven papers. He claimed he saw an account in the New York Tribune of the suicide, and said that he came to New Haven yesterday afternoon and v1s1ted.the JOURNAL AND COURIER office and other New Haven papers and came out here to work up the case. We furnished him with the JOURNAL AND COURIER, informing him that was all we knew about the case.
 One of the officials and one ex-off1cial of Stratford were walking home one evening last week and since that time they have been reported by their friends as having ventured into the perfumery business. One of them, 1t seems, stepped on black pussy.

Henry J. Wilm0t in Court-Hfs Case
 COnt1nued-What He Has to Say
 About the Matter.
 Henry J. Wi1mot, the grocery clerk who was arrested Monday, charged with ticing away Della c. Tucker, the 17-year-old daughter of Lawrence Tucker, was in the City court yesterday. Lawyer shan1ey de tended, atd asked for a continuance until Friday, which was granted.
 In regard to his relations with Miss Tucker Wilmot says: ''Our acquaintance has lasted nearly whole year, and during the past fall proposed marriage to her and she accepted my heart and hand. I have no doubt that she loves me truly. We were intending to get married just as soon as I Should be a little better prepared financially. Mr. Tuck CT and his wife did not seem to look upon my
 suit with anything but favor.
 During the early part of last week I was unusually busy. On Tuesday I received a note from Della saying that she, with a
 young lady acquaintance, wanted to go to Montreal. They were sick of the dullness of
 the Annex and wished to go into larger | city where life would be gayer. She wanted
 me to help her, and to furnish her with an l address in Montreal where she could stay. l | thought over the plan, and although knew
 her parents would orpose it, still knew that
 she was determined upon going and I thought
 she might as well await our wedding day in | Montreal as in New Haven. So I met her | that evening and arranged with her to have
 8 carriage at the house shortly after mid night, to take her and Miss Coffee to 1 the depot: The Coffee girl was thinking of getting employment in Montreal. Soon after
 12 o'clock, when all was quiet on the streets
 and her folks were asleep, she pushed up her
 window, threw out her bag and leaped out.
 put her into the carriage which had pro cured and we drove to Miss Coffee's, where
 we tried in vain to arouse her. I made all
 the noise dared to without awakening her
 folks and then, fearing we should miss the train, drove my promised wife to the Union
 depot. There bought her ticket, put her | upon the Springfield train, kissed her good
 bye and left her, promising to join her in the l holidays, when we would be married and re- l turn to Fair Haven, where hoped to be able l to commence keeping house.n

 The rink is lighted by four electric lightsl and the entrance way is also wei lighted by two electric lights. The ventila ! tion is excellent. Near the entrance are To cated the skate room. cloak room, ticket of l fee, smoking room, private office and ladies dressing room and closet. Over these rooms \ is large and convenient gallery, which will be provided with seats and also fitted up with a reception room.
