Serious Runaway Accident-A Dam xersus D1tch-Other And Minor Notes.
 MT. E. E. Connell, proprietor of the store kept for many years by the late Chief Brown, met with quite q serious runaway accident Monday evening. He left his team standing near the Frog company works on Daggett street, and when he came out he perceived that his horse had slipped the bridle off. When MT. Connell finally caught the horse, he grasped him around the neck. The ami nal started suddenly and ran, pitching MT. Cornell violently to the ground He was stunned for the moment and people living near by assisted him to a doc tors office, where he was attended to. The doctor said that if the cut MT. Cornell re- ceived had been a quarter of an inch lower it would have resulted in his death. The horse ran to the corner of Church and Crown streets where it was stopped. MT. Cornell was able to be about yesterday.

 The ditch on East Grand street near the railroad and back of where the engine house used to stand is a most dangerous one. Sev- eral persons have fallen into it on a number of occasions and narrowly escaped serious injury Last night two persons, evidently strangers to the neiYhborhood, walked into the ditch in most unceremonious and start ling manner, but by good luck were not in jured so badly but that they were able to pull themselves out and continue on their way. The ditch is so situated that anybody coming down East Grand street form the heights is very liable to step into it, even if acquainted with the locality. The street lamps are not of much benefit as their rays are not powerful enough to shed any light the spot.

The Martyr SPy's Memory to be Mon.
 Ored by a Statue.
 The State commission, having in charge the duty of providing a statue of Nathan Hale, ''the martyr spy" under the authority of resolution of the legislature, met in Hartford this week, and awarded the con- tract for making the statue to Karl Ger hardt of that city. The matter has been under consideration for sometime, the original commission having been appointed in 1883, when the legislature appropriated 5000 for the statue. The first commissioners were Governor Waller, ex-Governor Hubbard, and the Hon. Robert Colt. Governor Harrison succeeded Governor Waller, and the Hon. Henry Barnard was appointed after Cover nor Hubbard's death to succeed him. The present commission is, therefore, Governor Harrison, the Hon. Robert Colt, and the Hon. Henry Barnard. There were two com petitors for the work of making the statue Karl Gerhardt and E. s. Woods, both of Hartford
