New Switch.

new interlocking switch is to be erected soon at the north end of the depot by the New York, New Haven and Hartford R. R. A signal tower will be built and the switch operated by man in the tower The great beauty of this new arrangement is it's proven tion of collisions. If the switch is set for a certain train, all other trains are cut off. If the engineer fails to observe the signal, it simply runs off the track and does not col hde with any other train. When one switch is set the others are changed at the same time. It is expected it will take fully two months to have the switch in running order. One of the switches is in operation at Cos Cob and the company are well satisfied with it's workings Farmer.

 There was a very large attendance at the Methodist church in Southport yesterday at the funeral of the late pastor of that church, Rev. J. W. Horne, who was killed on the track Saturday by the cars. Many from other places including Bridgeport, Southing- ton, Waterbury and nearer towns were in the audience. The exercises were very sol emn and impressive. Ex-Presiding Elder Hill, of Ridgefeld, conducted the services. Presiding Elder Mains and many clergymen were present. Deceased was born in the Island sf Jamaica, ". l., in 1893, and re- sided there many years. Reaching the United States, he devoted himself to study, entered Wesleyan university, Middletown, and grad uated there with the degree of A. M In l 1852 he was sent missionary to Liberia, and was made president of the college at Mora I via, remaining there five years. While there the degree IL. D. was conferred upon him. Returning he became pastor of a l church at Fair Haven from '57 to '49 and | from 60 to '61 was stationed at Bedding. l From '64 to '65 he oficiated at Birmingham, and from '67 to '69 in New York In 1870 | he went to Europe, travelled In Egypt and the Holy Land.
