HE THOUGHT OF BLIZZARDs.

How one of Our Gay Firemen Pat in
 Ills Winter SupPlies-ProvisfOns at
 WholesaIe-ssSpotsed' by a Friend
 Who Agress to Keep 1t quiet.
 Hook and Ladder company No. 1 of this city boasts of a man among it's members who was the hero of wild western escapade some time ago and now blossoms out again as the chief actor in another live comedy that was carried ont right here in New Haven 6 few days since.
 The wide awake fellow thought that the prices of groceries were getting 8 little too high under the present system of things for freman's slender exchequer and took it into his head to play game on few local merchants by which he could get his win- ter's supplies at wholesale prices and prepare for another blizzard.
 He accordingly started out one bright morning to visit large wholesale firm on State street. Here he represented himself as a small merchant and said he wanted to buy barrel of four and one of sugar. His scheme didn't work at this place, nor did 1t at two or three others which he tried. 1t was obvious that he would not get his provisions at discount in that way, but still he deter mined to buy them at wholesale or not at all.
 Accordingly a few days later one of the most anticipated looking specimens of hu- manity one ever saw, seated in a wagon that outrivailed the deacon's Zone hoss shay" and drawn by an animal that seemed to be noth- ing if not rickety skeleton wrapt in a threadbare buffalo robe, made it's appearance on State street.
 The age-worn vehicle proceeded through the street till it stopped before one of the large wholesale grocery houses. No one would suspect that the rheumatic old farmer that rolled from the creaking seat was our fly young fire laddie. But such was the fact He had resurrected his outfit from one place to another, borrowed the limping nag from friend, and there he was ready to take all the provisions at wholesale farmers prices that the merchant wanted to sell.
 This time he played his trick so nicely that in half an hour he was shuf1ing back up State street towards his house with enough provisions in his rattling old wagon to last through half 8 dozen blizzards. No one would have been the wiser if an acquaintance hadn't s'spotted" him on the way and called ont, "Say, haven't seen you before" Our friend was forced to admit that he had, and the two agreed to keep it 'mum" ss they turned the next corner and stopped before mysterious looking place where wild west- ern Indian decked in full war paint was holding out glass of foaming amber-colored liQuid at arms length.

When Muldoon went on the road he offered Leonard $1O0 8 month, and was astonished when Muldoon offered $1OO to any middle weight who could throw him in fifteen minutes, and $25 to any one who could contend with him for the same length of time without being thrown.

 A Freight Train COllides with a work Travel Delayed i'm Both Direction For Several Hours.
 There was a,narrow escape from serious damage on the New York, New Haven and Hartford railroad yesterday forenoon. A freight train collided with work train and the result was large amount of damaged rolling stock, though nobody was injured.
 Had one of the trains been passenger the accident would have been very serious. The collion occurred near the stone quarry at Fairfield, from which train loaded with stone was backing down from the siding to the main track, when an extra Harlem River freight train came along and dashed into the rear of the stone laden train.
 The fog was very dense at the time, but the train men saw the danger in time and the engineer and fireman of the freight loco motive jumped in time to save themselves from injury.
 The freight left this city shortly after 9 o'clock and reached the quarry before Il o'clock. The tracks were blocked for over two hours. A wrecking train from this city cleared away the debris.
 During the time the tracks were blocked passengers were transfefTeO rom one traln to the other on each side of the wreck. This made many of the through trains on the road quite late. <' '
 Just to whose fault the accident is due it is hard to say. As near as @n be learned the fault lies with the men on the stone train who must have neglected to go back far enough to flag the oneoming freight train.
 A despatch from Hartford says: Accidents on Boston and Albany and New York divis- ion of New Haven road have greatly delayed trains all day. In addition engineer on Val- ley division train leaving here at 3 o'clock failed to notice signal against him at the crossing of the New England road a short distance from the station, and the deraiiing switch operated by the signal threw the train from the track. It required about an hour and half to get the train on the rails. The dense fog has probably been the cause of all the accidents today. No one was injured here
