SAFETY ON DRAWBRIDGES.
The New Automatic Apparatus a. Tested at Cos Cob Last Week-Au Enoineer DfScha

The New Automatic Apparatus as
 Tested at Cos Cob Last Week-An
 Engineer Discharged.
 A prominent railroad official ill speaking of the accident at the Cos Cob drawbridge on Thursday evening, by which an accom- modation train from New York was thrown from the rail without damage to property or passengers, says it has proof of the efficien- cy of the automatic apparatus attached to the bridge. The draw had been open to let a vessel through and was not back in place again when the train came along. signal, 1 300 feet distant from the bridge and oper- ated before the draw can be moved from it's place, was set to indicate that the draw was open. This should have been warning to the engineer to stop the train, but he care lessly neglected to observe the signal, and ran on 900 feet nearer. The bridge is another signal, which, like the other, was turned to give plain warning to the train to come to a stop. The nearer signal, which the engineer also disregarded, does something more, however, than to give warn ing, although the warning would be sufficient to prevent an accident in case the engineer needed it. The opening of the draw not only throws the signal out, but opens a switch so that in case the engine is not stopped in time it runs upon side track having bed of sand at the enc. This is what occurred on Thursday evening. Had the draw been closed both signals would have been set in a posi- tion indicating that it safe to run upon the bridge There were 400 people on the train. Engineer Minty will be discharged The automatic apparatus will be applied to the five drawbridges between New Haven and New York and will save twenty minutes of time as it is not necessary under the law to stop the train at bridges where it is used

Not Even Blaine Can Make it a Union
 Of1ce.

NEW YORK, Aug. 3.-The fight between the Tribune and the Typographical union was the subject of prominent interest at to- days meeting of the Central Labor union. The committee which had been appointed to see Whitelaw Reid reported that they had found him memorable. MT. Reid stated that he had even refused the request of James G. Blaine himself to make the Tribune union office. It was resolved not to accept the con- ciliatory offer of the Republican National committee, by which the latter solemnly promised not to give the Tribune any patron age during the campaign on the implied promise that the printers of Republican pro clivities would remember Blaine at the ballot box. This resolution was made for the req son that the members of the National com mittee refused to put their signatures to an agreement to this effect, and the Typograph- ical union will, if these signatures are not forthcoming, continue to boycott the Tribune and use their influence against it's presiden- tial candidate. The striking bricklayers were reported firm and will receive the benft of the treasury of the Butchers union which amount is $S,000.
