 Attorneys s. O. Prentice and Charles M. Joslin of Hartford and Lawyer Milton A. Shumnay of Killingly, commissioners ap- pointed by Judge Phelps of the superior court to appraise the property of the heirs of William Brown recently condemned were in session to-day at the district court room hearing evidence in the matter. At torney Terry represented the heirs and Attorney Robbins the railroad company. The land in question was taken by the rail road company for the purpose of running spur track along Bohl's refrigerator.
 Said an engineer on the Consolidated road recently to reporter: "It is not volved in the stopping of an ordinary train of cars. There is required about twice as much power to stop train as to start one, the loss of power depending on the momentum. A train going at the rate of sixty miles an hour can, by means of the Westinghouse air-brake, be stopped within 12O yards from the first application of the brake. Now enough power is lost to carry this same train fifteen miles over plane surface. First, there is the momentum acquired by the train flying at this remark able rate of speed, then the loss of steam in applying the brakes, and lastly, but not the least, the extra amount of coal to com pensate for all these losses. By computa- tion have ascertained that every complete stop involves 8 cost of $1.17."

 HAvERHILL, Mass, Jan. 11.-With the ex- ception of Dennis Shannahan, whose death was announced this forenoon, none have been added to day to the list of fatalities by yes- terday's railroad accident. Mrs. Flora E. Walker of Lawrence, whose injuries consist ed of severe fractures of both limbs, deep cuts about the head and @ severe nervous shock will in all probability die. She is un- conscious and of course utterly helpless. Her identity is not fully established and no friends have made inquiries concerning her. George B. Wentworth of Dover, whose in- juries were scalp wound, compound frac- ture of the right shoulder and sixth rib broken, is in precarious condition and 8 nurse and surgeon are by his side continually. His death is thought to be matter of but 8 short time. MT. w. T. Kimball of the firm of Kimbal1 Brothers, carriage makers of Boston, is in such condition that but little hope is felt for him. His right leg is fractured in four places and one hand se- vsrely cut. Both bones are broken in two places and the suffering the man has endured seems to have unnerved him. Late tonight tained for him. John Madden, the section man who was one of the most se- verely injured and who was thought last night to be fatally injured, suffered amputa- tion of the right leg to-day. He bore up bravely, and although his suffering is intense it is believed he will recover. All the other injured persons are receiving most excellent care and are doing as well as could be ex- rlecked

 In Mondays Constitution you gave an ac count of the most noted duellist in the gulf States. I lived fifty years in Mississippi and never heard of McClelland, duellist Al exander K. McClung is evidently intended, whom I knew for twenty-five years Mo Clung's first duel was in Kentucky; his sec ond was with young Allen; his third was with Manifee at Vicksburg. They were mu- tual friends, and while bathing in the Mis- sissippi river below town Manifee reproyed McClung for skipping a boy for throwing mud upon him, whom McClung had ,ducked. Returning to town, McClung challenged Manifee and they fought next morning at sunrise. McClung was marshal of north Mississippi during Tyler's administration and made 8 good officer, abating his dissipa- ted habits. He organized company in Co., 1umbus for the Mexican war, and at the siege of Monterey was the first to scale the wall, where he stood long enough to shoot Mexi- can, but which delay cost him two fingers. He had imbued his command with his des- peration and the fort surrendered. For this he was promoted to colonel. He fought nc duel after the Mexican war. His duels were seven, in each of which he brought down his man, not wounded, but dead. He was the most desperate and dangerous man I ever met, and the most truly wretched. About 1859 he wound up his career by blowing his brains out at Jackson, Miss.

Manager serco,nb's Contempt

CHICAGO, Jan. 1.-The appellate court rendered a decision to day in the case of Albert L. Sercomb, manager of the Meriden Britannia company. In June last he was declared to be in contempt of the Superior court for suing out an attachment in Wash ington against some property owned by Clapp & Davis, wholesale jewellers of Chica- go, who had failed At the time the attach ment was sued the property was in the hands of Receiver Catlin. The court ordered Ser comb to dismiss the attachment proceedings or show cause why he should not be pun ished for contempt of court. Sercomb asked for appeal which was denied. but subse- quently secured writ of error and super- sedars from the appellate court The receiver ground that the order of the Superior court was not final. The motion was to-day grant ed and the writ of error dismissed
