HIS LEG CUT OFF.


 Serious Accident to a Brakeman on
 tho Meriden tS Waterbury Road.
 It has been the custom always on the Meriden & Waterbury road at the Dub lin street station as the passenger train passes under the bridge approaching the station, for the brakeman to uncouple the rear coach. This afternoon as the o'clock train was entering the station Michael Murphy attempted to perform that duty and losing his footing fell be- tween the coaches striking on his head The rear car passed over his left leg at the knee severing the limb. The unfor- tunate man was carried into the station and Dr North summoned. He staunched the flow of blood which had been great and had the man conveyed to Smiths hotel where he now lies with small hopes of his recovery. Murphy is man 24 years of age and has only been in the employ of the road three months. He was quite popular with his employers and held the position of first brakeman on Conductor Ashton's train. He has a wife and child, who are now stopping with his brother-in-law at 15 South Leonard street. His home is in Cam bridge, Mass. The injured man retained consciousness while the doctor was work ing over him, but begged piteously to be eased from pain. He asked to be taken to some ho-el as the shock might be fatal to his wife, who is enceinte.

A NEW DEPARTURE.
An Address on sThe Creation'' By
 The Rev J. \. MulcahN.

An Address on "The Creation" By
 The Rev J. A. Mulcahy.
 The Y. NJ. c. l.. A. has arranged for a se1les of fortnightly lectures by resident talent to be given through the winter, taking the place of the debates of former seasons. The rooms are we'll furnished, and supplied with: Heading magazines and papers. The first lecture of the course was given last night by the Rev J. A. Mulcahy on 1.-The Creation" and will he completed on future occasion. He de- fined creation and the condition of sub stance at the instant of it's creation Substance Is that which underlies all forms and modes of existence, yet itself is not seen; itsescapeS our intellectual comprehension. By Gods will substance came into being as well as space and eN- tent and time. He did not take substance from himself; this would be Pantheism. Creation was instantaneous and from nothing. The bible does not teach that all creation, including stars and other worlds, came into being as they now ex- ist. The Hebrew word meaning Sub- stance is used only in the first verse of the first chapter of Genesis and again of the creation of animala and the souls of men, but not of their material nature. For aught we know millions of years passed between the creation of substance and the manifestation of it as seen in the world. The Catholic church teaches nothing in contradiction of this.
 The speaker then answered objections to the Mosaic account and the assertion of those who claimed that something could not be created out of nothing. He illustrated this by the fact that sculptors and painters gave us new forms which might be said to be the creation from their minds of ideals, beauty and thought. By the same course we may argue that God made substance from nothing. No scientist has yet given an answer to the question "When did creation begin:' This globe may be but as particle thrown off from the sun, of which thousands exist, which in turn may have been parts of other larger globes. All Is theory, yet improved. Tracing back beyond all | these possible changes we have not yet Motion and time could not be before creation, hence to God there was nc time, he being eternal. Could God create matter eternal? Logically he could not, because the word 'time' | signifies beginning, though this begin ming may have been so remote that to finite minds it's initial existence can hardly be comprehended, except by comparison.
 The lecture had been so closely 1 thought out and written, a synopsis fails to do it justice.
 Addresses followed from the Rev Frs Duggan and Martin, and Messrs c. Col. lard Adams, J. H. Moran and w. c. Keenan, the latter two being original members of the organization in 1868.

JAMES REYNOLDS ELECTED.
Democrats Win in New Haven By Small Majority.

By Small Majority.
 NEW HAVEN, December 1.-The town and city elections yesterday were very close and exciting, the democrats suc- ceeding in regaining control of the town and city governments by very small majorities after hard fight. The chief feature of the day was the fight between General Frank D. Sioat republican, and James Reynolds for the position of town agent and first selectman. the latter cap turing it by majority of 1T. The alder men are evenly divided. while m the council the democrats secure majority of four, thus securing control on joint ballot The Australian system of ballot ing was tried yesterday for the first time. As whole the system was satisfactory and seemed to answer the popular call for secret system of voting. In several wards, however, it was a partial fail ure, owing to the cheap John manner in which the arrangements were carried out. In two or three wards the booths were so flimsily constructed that they collasped several times and voting was delayed while carpenters patched them up. In other wards the polling places were in such poorly adapted buildings that the voting booths were little better than dark cells.
 A Connecticut associated press dis patch this afternoon sayssthat the repub- licans talk Of contesting the election Of James Reynolds as town agent.

THE CENTRAL NIGHT SCHOOL.
Business at the Meeting of the Boart
 ot Education Last Night.

Business at tho Meeting o1 tne boaro
 of Education Last Night.
 At the meeting of the board of educa. tion last evening, Chairman Webster in the chair, the members present were Rev Hugh Treanor, Dr Mcdonald, Dr Hayes, Charles G. Root, H. F. Bassett and John Henderson. The matter Of night schools, and the attempted over throw of the new system of certraliza- tion was excitedly discussed. One of the committee on night schools vouched | for the fact that the central night school on Clay street started out on a successful and prosperous foundation, and, in his experience of fifteen years, he never found one to work so well. Dr Hayes and Mir Root were in favor of many night schools being distributed in many parts of the city, but as Dr Hayes | brought only two examples or petitions from parents, it was thought that the people at large were entirely satisfied that the centralization plan would eventually turn out to be the best for the people, and for the pupils in attendance at the night school. Rev Father Treanor was in favor of having free night or business school in the center of the city, as was also Dr Mcdonald, MT Basset and MT Renders n.
 H. F. Bassett and Dr Hayes were ap. pointed committee to confer with the chief of police with the object of en' forcing the law ill regard to the attend ance ot children at school.
 It was voted that the district commit tee be requested to fit up and furnish the two rooms south of the High schoo room for a laboratory and recitation room according to plans submitted.
 A petition was received from many parents of pupils of the High schoo asking for one session a day from S:3( a. m to 1:30 p. m. It was voted to lay the petition upon the table for consider ation at a future meeting.

NATURES WONDERS,

ONE naturalist found over 12,O00 eggs in a lobster, and another over 21,OOO. An insect very similar to an ant has pro- duced S0,000 eggs in a single day, and Leuwenhoeck seems to compute 4,000,- 900 to the crabs share.
 THE great-crested fly-catcher and soy eral other birds adopt an exceedingly novel method to frighten away other birds or lizards that would prey upon their eggs. They wind into their nest one or more of the old skins which have been shed by snakes, so that these appear to be live snakes coiled about the nests.
 ACCORDING to naturalists 8 scorpion will produce 65 young: Q common fly will lay IA eggs, a leech 150 and 2 spi- der ITO. A hydrachna produces 600 eggs and a frog 100. A female moth will produce l, 100 eggs and a tortoise GOO. A g1E insect has laid 50, 900 eggs: ashrimp, 6,00O, and 10, 900 have been found in the ovary of an ascaris.
 MANY fishes produce an incredible number of eggs. More than 36, 900 have been counted in a herring, 3S, 900 in a smelt, 1000, 900 in a sole, 1,130,O in a aOdSu, o,Ooo.ooo III Ot~,UuO III a carp, 3S3, 1000 in tench, 546, ,OOO in a mackerel, 992, ,OO0 in perch and 1,357,- 900 in founder. But of all the fishes hitherto discovered the cod seems to be the most prolific.
 THE poacher who makes hares his spe- cialty has constant companion in the shape of a lurcher, a dog which at night embodies all his senses. Lurchers are pure crosses between the greyhound and sheep-dog; they have the speed of the one and nose and intelligence of the other. Such dogs never bark, and, being ough-coated, are able to stand the ex- posture of cold nights. They take long to train, butwhen perfected are invaluable.

Attorney O'Neil appeared for the defendant and argued that by carrying on his business on the streets he did not violate the United States statutes. Judge Shipman reserved his decision.
