MERIDEN ROAD DISASTER.
Eight cars Wrecked, One Man
Fatally Injured.


A serious smashup occurred at 6
o'clock this morning, on the Meriden,
Waterbury & Connecticut River railroad,
at Honey Pot brook near Cheshire. The
regular morning freight, going east,
consisting of fifteen loaded cars, left the
track at the bridge and eight cars were
derailed and thrown upon both sides of
the track. Two fat cars went down a
twenty-five foot embankment.
RkJames McDermott, brakeman was
terribly crushed about the chest and his
leg was mangled. His injuries will in
all probability prove fatal. William
Hart, another brakeman, wassinternally
injured and had one hand painfully
lacerated. He was on one of the flat
cars that went down the embankment.
Brakeman Charles Watson received a
severe scalp wound. All of the injured
men belong in Meriden.
The accident was caused by the break
ing of a brake beam on one of the cars.
ALI but the two flat cars had safely
crossed the bridge, when the beam
broke. In falling it caught in the tres
tie work, throwing the two rear cars
down the bank. The forward end of che
train continued a short distance when
six cars were derailed three going on
each side of the track.
A wrecking train in charge of Supt
Watson was sent out from Meriden and
the tracks will be cleared this afternoon.

in Jewelry.
George w. Hay ward, a young man
who recently gained notoriety in New
Haven by his peculiar ways, and who
subsequently, went into business in this
city, has skipped, leaving behind a
number of unpaid bills and angry
creditors.
About six weeks ago Hayward open
ed a store in the Pritchard block ON
Bank street. He secured a quantity of
iewelry from New York man named
Meyers, giving bond on which DR. B.
l.. Lambert and d. G. Wyman, both of
New Haven, were sureties. When
fitted up the store bore a prosperous
business air and many Waterbury
maidens gazed on the display with long
ing eyes. But the display didn't last
long. The people did not seem to appre-
ciate Hayward's e0deavors to supply
them with jewelry and the result was
that when the time for paying bills
came around Hayward found that the
wherewithal was not visible about this
time, also, his bondsmen withdrew from
his bond. Both had received letters
which tended to lessen their confidence
in Haywar
With representative of Meyers in
charge of the stock, with no money to
pay the rent and with numerous credi-
tors continually calling for money,
Haywood found things in Waterbury
too lively and Wednesday he quietly de-
camped. Meyers had the stock removed
Wednesday night and the only thing
from which the creditors can hope to
realize anything is a Thompson & Co,
safe, probably empty.

HORACE JoHNsoN's PREDICTION.

says All the Signs Indicate Very
Hard Winter.
Horace johnson of Middle Haddam,
who predicted the great blizzard of 1888,
and has been on the top shelf in the esti-
nation of Connecticut people ever since,
says the cunning winter will be a very
severe one. He bases his prediction on
the phenomenally large hay crop and
hard, thick shells of crabs. He finds
further verifcation of the signs in the
two-story muskrat houses with base
burners on the top floor and coal in the
cellar. Then he examines the corn
husks and finds fleecy sort of wool on
the inside. A friend brought him a
squirrel the other day, and he says the
fur is triple extra thick and very fine.
Coons are fatter than usual, and this is a
sign that they are preparing for long
siege. Mr. johnson paid a man fifty
cents to dig out a woodchuck and more
signs were found in the bottom of the
burrow. A plush cloak hung on pro-
jecting stone and it has been Mr. john
sons experience that woodchucks never
purchase plush cloaks unless the
weather is going to be unusually cold.
Pumpkin rinds are of the thickest this
fall. He has not yet had goose's bone
to study, but he is willing to stake his
reputation as the Virgins of Connect
cut that it will endorse all he claims for
the winter.

IT OUGHT TO FAIL.

In WOULD seem that the Gen

much opposed as The "AIorrnons'' are
to the Thomas-West bill introduced
by Senator Edmunds. IL il cone
man power" scheme. 1t proposes to
take from "AIoImon-and "Gentile"
alike the power 10 elect the local
officers in the respective counties,
and give the Governor, with the
consent Of the Utah Commission, the
power to appoint them. There is
not the slightest reason for such a
radical change, nor for clothing the
Executive with such arbitrary au-
thority.
The Utah Commission have no
permanent Interests in the Ter
ritory. Their office is not part of the
local governmental system. 1t is
liable 10 adjustment at any time.
And lis members are not even resi-
dents Of Utah. To vest any appoint
ing power in that body is discoriant
with every principle Of local self
government.
GENTLE" Republicans will prob
ally think the movement advant-
age1us because, in the first place,
no "MormOns1 would receive ap-
pointments where their enemies
would be available, and in the sec
ond place Republicans would be
preferred.
But they must remember two
things. One is that the Admiristra- |
ton may change and that this is not |
only possible but imminently prob
able, and that a change Of Cover
Hars would be consequent. The
5thcr is that the personnel Of the
Commission IL subject TO a similar
alteration aad that this would in
yolve 4 change in the local appoint
nents.
The proposition, too, is a depar-
.ure from the spiritof our system Of
government, and is n retrograie
totally needless except
Is an iniefeDsible measure to place
III the local Offices in the hands of
