Trains Delayed the Consolidated
 RoAds
 HARTFORD, Ct. Jan. 2.-At the crossing of New York, New Haven and Hartford road andsthe branch at Westfield near Middletown is an smbankment about twenty feet high which is composed of soft sliding sand with very few stones. To-day there was heavy rain s.erm in that locality and towards even ing the bank began to slide away. By the time the evening express WAS due the track had sunk four feet and it vas found necessary to send dssman in each direction to warn approaching trains All trains were stopped within hundred yards of the slide and the passengers transferred. The only result of the slide was a short delay of the trains and gang of workmen were employed immediately to repair the embankment. It s probable ths sliding will bs sufi ;isntly re- pared to allow the passing of trains.

 slade Figure In Q Brawl
 CHICAGO, Jan. "A special from Denver says: The Sullivan-Slade party had a street flight in Denver this morning. Slade, Sulli- van and couple of others passed New Years in notorious bsgnio. This morning row occurred while all were in their cups and Sullivan was thrown out of the house. Sul- livan was unarmed, but his opponents wers. Sullivan went into a saloon and asked the proprietor for the loan of g revolver. The man refused and Sullivan commenced maul- ing him. The friends of the saloon man then pitched in and from the Ealoon floor the war was carried into the street. Slade came to Sullivan's rescue and aimed 8 crush ing blow at the saloon man, knocked him down and kicked him in the face. At this juncture a friend of the prostrate man appeared in the rear with brick and dealt Slade blow which stretched him on th C ground. Then all hands turned their atten- ton to Sullivan, who not liking the situation beat precipitate retreat. In the melee pistols were brandished and used as billies but no shot was fired. The police were notified, but owing to the lack Of witnesses no arrests were made. Slade was taken to 6 hotel insensible from the brick blow, but his injuries are only temporary.

Another Acceunt of the Wreck

AnOtnOT Account 0E the tFfecks
 HUMBER, Jan. 2.-The alleged negligence of a Grand Trunk railroad conductor re- suited to day in a disaster by which nearly thirty people were killed and as many more injured. Shortly before o'clock this morn ing suburban train crowded with employees of the Dominion bolt works who work in Toronto and daily reach the scene of their labors by this train was rounding the curve near Parkdals boundary, when an express freight bound for the city was seen approach ing. Tho engineer of the passenger train at once applied brakes and reversed his engine but the impetus of both trains, the coming one being on the down grade was too great to avert collision. Both trains dashed upon each other with fearful force, wrecking each from engine to caboose. Every car of the passenger train was telesceped. The scene which followed was literally awful. Half score of bodies thrown by the force of the collision to the right and left of the track lay in the snow, their life blood trickling over and soaking into tho white carpet that cov- cred the ground. Crushed heads, broken and bleeding arms and battered legs ap- peared promiscuously on all sides of the wreck. The air was filled with the prayers and agonizing cries of the dying and injured. Streams of blood ran from the wreck and added to the horrer of the scene. News of the disaster quickly spread over Parkdale, and men, women asd children turned to do
 what they could for the relief of the suffer CTS. The dead were laid side by side on the snow-coTsrad hilltop, and covered with
 blankets, sheets and ovsrcoats. This task
 was terrible one, and when 1t was conclud-
 ed the ground between the wreck and tem-
 porary resting place was strewn with splin- ters of human limbs and patches of torn flesh. Meantime the injured had been taken
 to near by houses and tenderly cared for. One of the unfortunate victims
 was jammed in 8 telescoped car and held so firmly that all attempts to extrioate him were in vain. Another lay under the cylin- der of the engine. Both were kept alive for hours by the administering of brandy every fifteen minutes, bat both finally sue. cumbed. The medical men of Parkdale worked with might and main, but it was not until over an hour after the disaster that Dr. Thornburn of the Grand Trunk with his staff arrived at the scene. By his orders all the injured who were in 8 condition to be moved were conveyed to the hospital, while the remains of the dead were taken to the morgue.
