Buried In Fog.

London entered yesterday afternoon on its
fourth day of continuous fog. The veil has
never once been lifted since Monday, and no
man has beheld sun, moon, stars, or square
inch of blue or even gray sky. Luckily the
density of the fog Is not equal to its dura-
ton.
Traffic in the streets has been maintained
with difficulty and danger throughout the
dark days. Cabs crawl about at noon with
lamps lighted. Omnibuses which have no
lamps trust to luck. The river Is totally de-
serted.
Trains arrive and depart regularly and ac-
cidents are frequent. The theatres are emp
ty. The law courts in many cases have had
to adjourn. Shops and streets are lighted
and it is impossible to read anywhere with
out artificial light.
The fog extends all over the western and
southern coasts Of England. Atlantic and
other mail steamers neither arrive nor de-
part at English channel ports The Dover
and Calais channel steamers continue to find
their way across at great risk. The Folkes-
tone and Boulogne service is discontinued
and navigation at Mersey is carried on iit-
fully.

MR.. sENEDIcT's CASE.
Cause of the Action of the New York
Authorities.

BDDEFoRD, Jan. 13-The following Asso-
ciated Press despatch from New York was
published in the morning papers,
NEW YORK, Jan. IL.
John c. Benedict wealthy. cotton overseer
who lives at Saco, Maine, was taken to the Belle
vue Hospital tonight from Harlem prison for ex-
animation as to his sanity.
Mr. Benedict has for years been oyerseer
of ono of tho cpinnins rooms in tho Torir
Mills. While in feeble health last fall, his
physician advised him to make visit TO the
South for his health, which advice he took
advantage of and started at once for Wash
ington. He has been visiting at various
cities throughout the country. 1t is thought
probable that while in New York this week
he acted strangely and was taken in charge
by the officers.
He formerly resided ON Main street, and
later on Centre street in this city, but short
time ago removed to Saco. where his wife
now resides. He is highly respected
citizen, and was member of Dunlap Lodge
of Masons and Granite Lodge of Odd Fell
lows of this city.

that the train was going off the bank. He
was ordered by the engineer to stay by the
engine, and he did so. Never noticed any,
thing wrong about the road at this place. 1t
had not been recently repaired to his knowl-
edge.
Mr.. j. B. Cate, engineer of the George
town branch train, which was waiting on
the branch at the time of the accident, was
the next witness called. He described the
position of his train. AS the train was pass
trucks of one car off the rails. Thinks it
was the smoking car. The car went out of
his sight beyond the tank house. The next
he saw was two cars going down toward the
GEORGETOWN branch: The side of one car
struck the coal shed, and then struck wit
ness's train ON the branch. Witness could
not say whether the train had passed the
switch all right or not. After the accident,
witness got off his engine and helped to pull
the people out of the wrecked cars. He
thought that the train the main line was
going about fifteen miles an hour as it passed
the branch. Never saw that train pass that
point at great rate of speed.
CONDUCTOR wEYMoUTHs STORY.
Mr.. Edwin Weymouth was next called. He
was the conductor of the wreckedItrain. Mr..
Weymouth testified as follows: We left
Boston at o'clock on Tuesday. We had an
engine, milk car, baggage cars, parlor car,
smoking car ana tnree passenger car. We
were running at about 10 miles an hour. Was
in the next to the last car when the shock
came. The car lurched twice, from side to
side, before it came to stop. The car in
front of the one witness was in, was the one
which struck the tank and crushed by it. The
train had an automatic Westinghouse brake
and Miller platforms. Witness at once saw
that a brakeman went back with flag to
stop other trains; then aided in rescu-
ing the passengers. Then walked toward
Haverhill for assistance, surgeons, etc.
Went to the telegraph office and reported to
Boston. Gave no thought to the cause of
the accident at the time, but gave all his at
tention to the care of the injured and other
necessary matters. In passing the switch
