NOT THE RIGHT KIND OF BOMBS.

Series of Blunders and NIisunder-
 standing Caused the Almost FataI
 Result at Wesleyan Cellege-The Coll
 Iege Property Did Not Suffer as Much
 as was at First Reported.
 MIDDLETowN, Feb. 27.-The following facts ascertained by the committee of the Wesleyan faculty are given by a member of the committee:
 J. A. Jackaberry, of New York, received on Thursday, February 21. about noon, a telegram from Middletown signed by hisson, a member of the freshman class, asking to send by the 3 p. m. train that day six bombs. He sent messenger from his office to get the bombs writing on the bottom ot the telegram the address of the I. X. L. D. Fireworks company, No. 21 Park Place, adding to indicate the article ''bombs such students use." He had in 9 Park Place. He expected to get a kind of bomb furnished by this company called "Chinese bombs, which explode with loud report, but are not specially dangerous. The messenger failed to find the firm to which he was sent and went to Sterne & Lyon, No. 20 Park Place and was given six so-called can- non salute bombs. The exact nature of these has not been ascertained, but they are mani- festly Of too dangerous nature to be sold without special preoaution. The messenger took them as done up, to Lackaberry, senior, who sent them to the bsggagemaster of the train. Neither examined the package. When opened at Middletown they were seen to be not what was sent for, but were sup posed to be all right Lackaberry would not have sent them. Thus, by a series of fatal blunders and misunderstanding, a col legs prank seriously disorderly, but not ma iicious, resulted in what at first seemed to be a tiendish crime. Lackaberry had once be- fore sent his son, while he was in prepar- atory school, such a bomb as he supposed he was getting and supposed these were to be exploded out of doors, and under the circumstances involving no breach of college order. The damage at first report ed was grossly exaggerated and the total dam age to college property, will be made good for twentty-fve dollars or less. The faculty met to day, but postponed action as to pen- oIfiaa

GRABBED THROUGH A BRIDGE. St. George, Ont.-Eight or Fen Killed and Thirty Wounded.
 ST. GEORGE, Feb. 27.-The St. Louis ex- press, passing here eastbound at about six o'clock this evening, went through bridge just east of the station. A broken tire on one of the engine wheels caused the rails to spread and the first passenger car, Pullman car and the dining car went through the mid dle section of the bridge. The Pullman, which contained most of the passengers, was thrown off the bridge, turning completely over and landing right side up. The dining car stands on end against pier. passen- ger car remains on the bridge, having striped the ties ahead of it over the section that col lapsed. Eight or ten persons were killed and about thirty wounded have been taken out of the cars.
 The dining room car contained about seven persons besides the walters. Supper had just been announced and in few minutes the car would have been filled, and all must have perished. The following is list of the killed: George Teggatt of Mitchell, William Wemp of London, Dr. Swan and A. W. Francis of Woodstock, W. R. Mclean of the firm of Mclean G Beecher of Detroit, MT. Bains of Hamilton and Captain Moore of BranttOro, DOtn or the OalVatlOn army, MT. Peers of Woodstock, ,and Harry Angel fireman.
 St. George, near where the accident oc. cured, is on the Great Western branch of the Grand Trunk railroad.
 The bridge which gave way is 100 feet high. The scene of the wreck is appalling. On one part of the bridge are number of ties heaped together, some of them splintered to atoms. A partially demolished Pullman car occupies place on the bridge. The din- ing car stands almost perpendicular ly upon end. The hind wheels of the car became detached from the truck just before it took it's fearful leap and now nestle in the iron frame work of the bridge. The irst-class coach took a com plete somersault in the descent, and though it landed right side up it is very nearly de- molished. A heap of deblis lies at the foot of one of the piers, and strange conglomer- ation it is of car wheels, stoves, etc. En- gineer Browne stuck to his post and passed over in safety, while the fireman jumped and was so severely injured that he died.

Entertainments.

OAs A1AAs
 Miss Estelle Clayton, 8 most accomplished artist and beautiful woman, appeared at the Hyperion Theater last evening, in drama tization of Amelie Rives Chandler's famous love story 'tThe Quick or the Dead" The work received a great deal of attention and criticism from the reading public generally, and the play has also excited much interest The plot is necessarily simple and the cast small but the play is not only affecting, but morally wholesome. The main features of the novel have been retained, but comedy vein has been introduced, which afford a pleasing relief to the otherwise emo tional character of the play. The passionate Barbara was exceeding ly well portrayed by Miss Clayton and her audience was charmed with the ease and grace which she displayed as the alter nately sorrowing and light-hearted widow. She appeared at her best in the first act. where she has an opportunity of displayinR . her powers with the ease and naturainess that bespeaks the true artist, while she Is also exceptionally good in the stronger emotional scenes that occur later on in the play. The supporting company is very strong and the costumes, though simple in design, are pretty and in remarkably good taste.
 NEW HAVEN OPERA HOUSE,
 Messrs. Rice and Dixey's company gave "The Corsair' before one of the largest audi ences of the season at the New Haven Opera House last evening. The burleeque is one of the old-fashioned kind, full of jokes, hits, comic songs and dances, embellished by mag nlhcent scenery and rich though rather scan- ty costumes. Miss Annie NJ. Perkins in the title role made favorable impression, and so did Miss Frankie Kemble as Medora, Miss Llia Blow and Miss Mae Bron- son also deserve special mention. MT. James s. Mafit and MT. George A. Schiller made most of the fun of the evening as the Corsair's trusty Arabian henchmen. "The Corsairn will be repeated tonight and tomorrow evening. On Sat- urday afternoon and evening the same com- pany will present "Eyangeline. All three performances are sure of receiving large aus diences. Those who desire good seats should secure them at once.

Superintendent Dutton Reads a Paper to the Chamber of COmmerce-Con. SoiIdatton Forgotten In she Discus. sfon-No More Expense-The Cham ber's Annual Meeting.
 Very pacific was the meeting of the Cham
 Der of Commerce last evening, and consolida. tion was only referred to in the opening moments, when President Dewen stated that the legislative committee on cities and boroughs had refused to come to New Haven and would hear the several sides of the ques- tion at Hartford on the 18th of March
 Superintendent Dutton of the school dis trict then read an interesting paper, treating chiefly of manual training in schools and the need of further development. Continuing, he said: While other departments of the city government have been perfected, our schools have also prospered in progress and steadily advanced to the superior position which they now occupy. sThe son of the poor man, if he becomes millionaire, will do so not through luck but through hard study, persistency. Public schools lay foundations for good habits and character. They do what church and home cannot do. It is this long continued and systematic course of the school that fits our young men for the full exercise of citizenship. severe and exacting regime is necessary from the large emigration and mixing of all classes. The compulsory law is ROW en- forced, children trained to cleanliness and orderly habits and fitted for real life.
 This chamber has given much attention to the good of our city upon every side and place. Permit me to ask if an attention to manual and industrial training in our young men would not be great benefit. It is un- doubtedly true that some of the brightest scholars are children of professional men, and they sometimes have peculiar prejudice against having their children taught as me- chanics. The question is, shall we train our children in sympathy with mechanical ideass
 MT. Sutton dweit upon the importance of reciprocal training of mind and body and said that the new system of manual instruc- tion was far superior and more complete than the old practice of apprenticeship in trades, where the learner was little more than a beast of burden.
 After the reading remarks upon the paper were made by ex-Mayor Henry G. Lewis, Judge Sheldon. T. Atwater Barnes, Julius Twiss. c. L. English, l.. H. Freedman, Prin- cipal French, Maier Zunder and others.
 A vote of thanks WAS rendered Mr. Dutton by the chamber.
 President Dewell said that the annual meeting and election of officers of the cham Der would be held at the next regular meet ing. The question of having annual din ner will also be discussed.
