A Connecting Rod Breaks and Wrecks Engine.

The Waterbury American says: As the steamboat train from Bridgeport,
 which reaches Waterbury at 9.02, was near ing Pine Bridge. Wednesday night, the con- necting rod on one side of the engine broke Engeneer George Hunt at once shut of steam and applied the air brake, when the other rod separated. An end of this plunged up through the cab, knocking the fireman against the boiler and sending the engineer out among the flying dust and debris. At each revolution the shorter sections of heavy steel rods struck the frozen road bed, lifting the rear drive wheels clear from the track The locomotive ran thus for 35 rods, the cc- cupants momentariIy expecting her to leave the rails aud plunge 25 feet downward into the river. The forward trucks and drive wheels, however, kept her on the track and none of the passengers knew of the danger which threatened and many went ahead to learn the cause.
 At the point where this accident occurred the mountain rises precipitously on one side and falls to the river on the other with but few feet margin outside the rail. No one was hurt save the fireman who received bad bruise on his knee. The engine-the old sadly demolished. She was stripped of her side gearings and the track for many rods was strewn with splinters and large fragments of iron and wood. Engine 10 was telegraphed for at Waterbury. The delay was over two hours and there were about 3O DaSsenoers

 Immediately after the morning recitation yesterday Mir. Gale, chairman of the 'S4 Lit. board, went to the Lyceum to hold the ap- pointed election of new editors, but found only a dozen seniors who had come to enjoy the sport. The juniors, with obvious intent to s'sour on'' the senior board, met in the cabinet building and after several speeches unanimously voted to re-elect the men chosen Wednesday. Thereupon the present board held meeting and chose MT. J. 0. Bridg- man instead of Mr. Pitkin. The board for next year will be Baldwin, Bridgman, Dog gett, Richards, Shipman The action of the board, though technically legitimate, is thought generally uncalled for.

Sudden Death of Mrs.Dr. E. l.. R. Thomsom
 Yesterday afternoon at about o'clock Mrs. Thomson, wife of Dr. E. l.. R. Thom- son of 524 Chapel street, was fou und lying dead in her bed by a domestic. Medical Ex- aminer White and Coroner Boliman were notified and an investigation was made, re- sulting in deciding that the cause of the un- fortunate lady's death was accidental, ana that she died from an overdose of chioroform. Dr. Thomson's lawyer, Mir. James Gardner Clark, stated that the deceased was in the habit of using morphine and chloroform and alcoholic stimulants for some time past. The habit grew to be a mania which she was unable to control and it was believed thas yesterday noon, feeling ill, she took an l overdose of chloroform and fell asleep with l her face bound with handkerchief saturated
 with the drug. When first seen she had in one i hand the bottle which had contained the 1 chloroform. @@
 She had been greatly subjected of late to | hysteria and at times was delirfous,
 and her husband despite much watch
 fuIness had been unable to keep her from l obtaining narcotics. She also suffered | intensely from great nervousness. Dr. | White said last evening there was no doubt l her death was accidental. The coroner took
 the testimony last evening at his office or 8 few persons nearly related to the decsssed l and of others best acquainted with her case,
 the result being confrmatory of the inquiry | by the medical examiner.
