PERrLs OF THE RAIL.
Two Accidents in New Britain, One Re-
 suIting Fatally.

Two Accidents in New Britain, One Re-
 sulting Fatally.
 Two railroad calamities occurred in New Britain Tuesday evening, one of which re- suited in loss of life. Shortly after , o'clock Engineer Church's engine of the New York and New England railroad with a tender attached was switching; when opposite the Union works the locomotive became derailed and ran into the bank. The engineer escaped unhurt, but the fire mans hand was somewhat injured. The Locomotive was total wreck. It is sup posed that the switch was turned by boys who did not realize the consequence of their act After few hours wrecking engine and tender was sent from Hartford. When the work of clearing the track was progressing an iron cable connecting the ''wrecker'' and the disabled engine broke. striking two men, Robert Moore and Robert Cahill Moore was struck in the breast and knocked insensible. Cahill re ceived bad blow in the face, and several of his teeth were broken. Moore, who is a machinist, was taken to his home on How ard street, Hartford, and Cahill, who lives on Broad street in Plainville, boarded the train for that town. It is not expected that the injuries of either man will prove serious.
 When the work of clearing the track was completed the wreckers began to switch at about 80 preparatory to returning to Hartford. When going over the Main street crossing the tender struck a man named Daniel Woods, knocking him down on the track Two wheels of the tender and en- zine passed over his body and killed him instantly. When taken up it was found that he was actually cut in two. His lungs were lying on the ground, his right arm was severed from his shoulders, his left leg was broken in two places, and his ribs and spine were mangled into jelly. Dr Comings, the medical examiner, was sum moned and ordered the body to be taken to w. J. Dunlay & Co.'S undertaking es- tablishment. The deceased was fore man of MT Emmons' paint shop, and was very popular with all classes. He served in the navy during the war. He was about 3S years old and widower. Woods was well known in Waterbury, having attended several of Sheridan councils receptions

THE FOURTH VICTIM.

Another Unknown Man is Killed by the
 Cars in Bridgeport.
 Another unknown man was run over and killed at the South avenue crossing at Bridgeport by the 4:20 express yesterday afternoon. The head was completely torn from the body, which was otherwise muti- lated. He was apparently about thirty years age, five feet five inches high, with a light moustache. He wore a nearly new suit of clothes. In his pockets were found about $40 in money, railroad ticket from Derby to New York and also a business card of John Lucy, of Birmingham. MT Lucy is member of the order of Elks. Up to late hour this morning the body had not been identified. It is thought that the man was thrown off or fell off the train. This is the fourth occurrence of the kind in this vicinity within the past three weeks

"Streets of New York;

There was large sized audience present at the opera house last evening to witness the production of the popular play, "The Streets of New York" The play has lost none of its popularity and Frank Kilday Miss Libbie Kirke made very clever boot black and sang several songs, being re- peatedly encored.

 It is said that Dunlap's injury is 80 ser ious that his ball playing days may be very short. He will hardly play any more this season at any rate. A ligament in the ankle is torn loose, and while the wound may knit, it will be liable to break by 6 sudden start or jerk
 In discussing the question of increased batting, almost as many plans have been presented as there are ball players and writers. The idea of extending the foul lines appears to meet with general approval, but it is difficult to see how this is to accomplish the desired result when it is considered that comparatively few balls are hit along the present foul lines.
 Will Campion has returned home from Lowell The Morning Times of that place says: Champion is undecided as to what he will do this winter.

has been nominated for President. Her platform demands equal rights for Women, Education and Accomplishment being a potent factor. She demands as a starter that the men purchase for their wives an elegant Shoninger Piano or Organ. She believes in freer trade, and thinks they ought to buy low. Knowing the extra ad- vantages Shoninger X Co possess in their line of goods she does not hesitate to give them the preference over all competitors Buy Piano for what it is worth is her motto. At the same time a company with business stability is preferred over those who shin along like a reed shaken before the wind and can in no wise be responsi- hle for what they sell, but instead spend what little money they have purchasing some of Shoninger's stock sold long years ago, and their time running down their neighbours goods, thereby proving Shon- inger's popularity. She says hard work will make followers of cold water, Tippecanoe- and even the blood-red ban danna prove an omen of success.

THURSDAY, JULY u, 1888.

We have the gratifying intelligence
from New York that the INDEPENDENT
the great and influential weekly newspa-
per, which strongly advocated the cleo
tiOn Of Cleveland four years ago-has
pronounced itself for the Republican
ticket and Protection; and that the Irish
World is as steady and strong for Pro-
lection and the Republican ticket as it
was four years ago. In this connection,
too, we desire to direct attention to the
significant letter of Hon. James O'Brien
to Samuel J. Randall, printed in another
column.
The labor vote of the country is being
awakened and instructed as to the rela-
tions of labor to Protection. and the in
dicatiOns are unmistakable that it will
deal the Cleveland Qate Democratic)
party killing blow in the elections of
this year. The signs all indicate that
the Republicans will carry every North
ern State, that they will capture the two
Nirginias, and give the sO-called Demo
Gratis such shaking up in North Caro-
lima, Maryland, Tennessee, and Ken
tucky as they have not received in de-
cade of wears.

THIS vicinity was visited last Thurs
day morning by the heaviest rain of the
season. Cutters were overflowed, and
the streets speedily converted into mini
ature creeks. The long culvert near the
Baltimore and Ohio station soon became
choked, whereupon the swelling water
lifted it bodily, and forcing an opening
on the top rushed out there, leaving the
culvert in a damaged condition. The
choking of the culvert forced the water
over the road, nearly up to the door of
the dwelling of Mr. J. W. Clark, and fill
ed the turn-table pit. McMillen's fish
pond narrowly escaped being washed out.
Hillsides were badly washed, but there is
compensation in the fact that the water
got to the roots of all growing vegetation,
and will do incalculable good.
Wheeling Creek was higher than it has
been in twenty years. Mr.. Thompson
Butcher says that never but once before
(the time the railroad was washed OUT
has the run down through his place been
so high.

WIN. GELLER SERIOUSLY HURT.

Wheeling Intelligencer, Friday.
William Geller, harness maker who
came here from st. Clairsville some time
ago, and has since been rather diSsipatell,
and been arraigned in the Police Court
several times, met with a serious acci-
dent last evening about s O'Clock. He
was sitting on stone wall eight or ten
feet high in Alley b, just North of Elev-
enth street, when he either went TO sleep
and fell off OF was pushed off. He alight-
ed on his head ON the stones below, and
his scalp was cut and crushed shocking
ly. He bled in an alarming way. OIL
Ger Dunlap got an express wagon and
hauled him to the city building, where
lookup keeper Brand washed his head of.
DIR. Reed was then summoned, who sew
ell up the cuts. He said the skull was
not broken, and that Geller'S injuries,
though very painful, were not danger
GUS.
Geller said he had been "done up
but it is believed he simply fell off the
wall.

THIS time last year farmers were get
ting 30 to 33c per pound for their wool.
Now they are offered % to 25c. There
is a prospect of getting wool at from Is
to zoe per pound in the next six months,
and for that reason Eastern buyers will
not stock up on high priced wool. The
Mills bill, now pending in Congress, in
troduced by Democrat and indorsed
by the Democratic party, is what occa-
sions the low price of wool this season.
When farmers meet for quiet TUX on
crop prospects they should also consider
the wool question.
