PoLrrIcs.--Ths political pot 10 begin
ming to boil and our democratic friends
have already commenced canvassing
the merits Of the different political as
pirants. The opinion seems to obtain
that to the men who did the work in
the last campaign is due goodly
share of the party honOrs. While
they may not be applicants for nomi-
nations or honors, Messrs. Norris,
Dawkins, Dyer, Key and other gem
tlemen who spoke for the party, and
the host who labored for 4 it's success
before election and at tbs. polls, can
not fail to be gratifed at the kindly
mentions they are daily receiving from
their compatriots. We are glad to
see this disposition to honor the work
ers and regret that we cannot recol-
lect the names of all of them--both
speakers and workers--and give
them the publicity they deserve.

Good Connecticut Crop-A Geo
 Cider Year.

Good Connecticut Cr0p-A Good Cider Year.
 Ripe apples are plentiful in the market and farmers in different parts of the State all say the apple crop is good in their locali- ties. In Hamden some of the trees are load ed almost to the breaking down point. A cider manufacturer thinks, however, that in years when apples are so plentiful the cider yield, though abundant, is not apt to be of the best quality as too many rotting apples find their way to the cider mill mixed in the loads the farmers bring in. A Waterbury paper says as to the crop;
 This will be cider year. Apples have never been known to be more plentiful in Connecticut, though here and there, as in one part of Norris, the crop has been blight ed, it is presumed by insects. A ride in any direction will disclose tree after tree laden with apples so that the limbs fairly bend be- heath their weight, in cases to the point of breaking. Even the miserable, scraggly, gnarly trees growing by the roadside have the fruit strung upon their branches as thick as onions suspended from string in country store. Under the circumstances it is likely that there are more apples than can or will be consumed by the market, and as other States share this abundance with Connecticut, it is presumable that thousands of bushels will ind their way into cider mills. As good stock of cider is suggestive of hard cider, possibly some of our no license towns may find that nature has enabled the old toper to procure "dhrop of the crathur'' without having to buy or borrow it, or visit Water bury with a jug.

TWO RAILROAD ACCIDENTS.
A Man and a Woman Killed by the
 Cars.

A Man and a woman Killed by the
 Cars. 4
 Soon after midnight Tuesday the down train on the Consolidated road discovered the remains of young man lying beside the track near the upper brickyards at Berlin. The man had been struck by some passing train or had jumped from train which he had boarded by mistake. No one seemed to know him. He is about thirty years of age and evidently laboring man. On his coat was B badge marked "Plainville division A. O. H. No. 7'' He had a severe cut on his head, but otherwise he showed no signs of being run over. The man was alive when found, but died at 7:S0 yesterday morning. Yesterday afternoon persons from Plainville identified the body as that of Lawrence Mo Cormick. He leaves wife and one child, two years of age. The body was removed to Plainville yesterday.
 On Tuesday evening as the train on the New York and New England road was near ing Pratt street near Newington, the engineer saw woman with basket standing near the track, look ing toward the approaching headlight and to all appearances bewildered. It was too late to slow up so as to be of any benefit to the unfortunate and the poor woman was struck by the right side of the locomotive with a terrible suddenness. She was thrown instantly under the small station floor, the platform having been removed recently. The aperture was about thirteen inches wide and eight feet long, When hit she was some twelve feet from that place. Unconscious ness must have been instantaneous. The in- jured woman lived but 8 short time. The woman was identified as Mrs. Darius E. Ma loney, who lived near the Newington sta
