A switchman in Bridgeport set his switch all right night before last for an oncoming freight train. The train accordingly came on and it went off the track. The switch man had done his work all right, but great was the surprise when the cause of the acci- dent was seen. A huge rat had been caught in the jaws of the switch and this obstruc- tion had forced it open far enough to allow the engine to leave the rails.

 ceeded in breaking up bad crowd of loafers
 that has been in the habit of hanging around
 the Quinnipiac drawbridge for several
 years Before the officers were appointed
 the gang used to be dangerous one, put since the police were put on they have been insolent only. While Officer Doody was
 away on the north part of his beat the boys
 would sometimes eongregate on the east side
 and make themselves quite offensive until the officer would appear, when they would either disperse or go to the west end of the bridge on the New Haven side. The other night Officer Doody threatened to take in any boys he caught lounging about the east ap- proach to the bridge, and since that time they have kept out of the way. The contract for laying the double tracks for the Fair Haven and Westv1lle railroad has been drawn up by Attorney Eli Mix. It is understood that work is to be commenced shortly.
