 There was another man hurt, who walked away from the wreck. His arm was badly injured. He called at the hospital to-day. He could not speak 8 word of English. Be- fore the interpreter could be summoned he had decamped. Railroad men rated Engineer Slayback as one of the most careful and reli- able men on the road and there plenty of T. l. 1-s., 1r,A %ho other hand it is urged that business is busi- ness and that the road is run by signals and if they are not carefully needed and obeyed it is useless to try to conduct the busi- ness. The signal was set correctly, that everybody comedies; but it's warning was not noticed or, if noticed, action was delayed until it was too late. It was noted, however, that MT. Slayback was in exhausted state owing to the long and wearing duties of sev- eral successive runs to Springfield and re- turn without chance to lie of, as IS gener- ally the case. Gentlemen on board the train say it was running slowly-at not more than eight or ten miles an hour.
 Slayback, when taken into custody by the police, was dazed and shocked, and could not seem to collect his faculties. He re- mained so for some time. His wounds were finally dressed by Dr. Godfrey. Maynard Smith, of the Brotherhood of Engineers, came to town, and offered any assistance that he might be able to give. Two charges of manslaughter were put against Slayback on the police slate. Friends having arrived ready to aid in his release Judge Beers, about six o'clock, fixed the bonds at $2, 300 in each case. Surety for the 5000 was furnished by Augustus Slayback, brother; Mrs. Fran ces Burr, sister; MT. Edward Osborn and MT. Benjamin Betts, all residents of Fairfield. The three last-named live in Fairfield, and to that place MT. Slayback went directly after his release. Judge D. B. Lockwood was se- cured as counsel. The trial will occur on the 27th-Tuesday of next week-in the City court.
 The wreck was photographed when in its worst look this morning. To day the wreck ing train came down again and took back to New Haven seven carloads of debris. The loss to the road is not over few thousand dollars. One of the killed is still unidenti- fed. The railroad company has sent word that it will bear the expense of the burial. Engine No. 1O7 of the express was so wedged into the end of gravel car that it's identity was lost. The engine is now in the shops in New Haven and will be made as good as new.
