GRAND CIRCUIT RACES.

The Races at Hampden Park BrOugh
 to a Close After Two Postponements
 Only Two Events.
 SPRINGFIELD, Mass, Sept. S.-After two postponements on account of bad weather the circuit races on Hampden park were finally brought to a close this afternoon in the presence of about two thousand spec tators. The weather was pleasant and the track perfect. There were but two races left over-the 2:24 class trotting, one heat of which was won by Mamie Woods on Saturday, and the Springfield stake of s5,- 900 for trotters of the 2:2S class. It took but two heats to decide the 2:24 class race, Woods taking both easily, and by distanc- ing w. H. Arnold in the last heat wins first and fourth money. .~s....
 Pamlico was favorite in the stake race at odds of $50 to $15 for the field of five In the first heat Chelsey D.. was never headed and won easily. In the second he was pushed hard by Abbie V. at the finish and was forced to beat his best record in order to win. Pamlico went to the front in the third and fourth, out trotting the rest from the three-quarters in distancing Leopard Rose in the third. In the fourth the field was not in it at any time, Pam lico winning the heat and race as he pleased. Summarizes:

ARerorm Much Needed.

Editor Journal and Courier:
 I ask that you call attention to the ruff
 fianism that is carried on nightly on Oak
 street between Congress avenue and Fac
 tory street. From 10 o'clock until 12, and
 often after that hour drunken men and
 boys make the night one of misery for
 everyone but themselves. 0nssof these
 ruffians about midnight every night yells at
 the top of his voice the most unearthly
 yells. This he keeps up for from ten minutes to half an hour. If he is spoken to he uses the most foul language. This fellow is we'll known to the police, and why they permit him to keep up this nightly yelling is something the neighbors would like to know. Last night, at 11:30 o'clock, a fight took place on the vacant lot between Oak and Commerce streets, which lasted for fully twenty-five minutes. No policeman appeared until the fight was over. The officer came from another beat. The citizens of this section feel that the patrolling of the officer assigned here is not well done. Respectfully,

WILL RUN FOR GOVERNOR.
Ex.United States Treasurer Hyatt'
 Political Aspirations.

NoRwALK, Sept. S.-Hon. James W. Hyatt, United States treasurer during MT. Cleveland's administration, has consented to become a candidate for the democratic nomination for governor. The news be- came generally known late this afternoon and made quite commotion in political circles While MT. Hyatt does not seek the office his friends believe he will prove a most formidable opponent with more than a fighting chance of success. They say that at least four counties in the state will give him more than 50 per cent. of their votes at the coming convention, while Fair l field county will be unanimous in his sup port There are rumors afioat that his op- ponent in the race, Colonel William H. H.Ste-
 venson of Bridgeport, will withdraw ir favor of Hon. Thomas M. Waller, but those l who know him best say that they are false There seems no doubt that the race for tn, gubernatorial nomination will be exceed
 ingly hot and interesting.

STRUCK BY LIGHTNING.

The Offices Of the Pennsylvania Rail-
 road Company at Altoona Burned.
 ALTOONA, Pa., Sept. s.-A few hours be- fore noon to-day lightning struck the large block at the corner of Eleventh avenue and Twelfth street in which are located the offices of the Pennsylvania Railroad company. The building was soon ablaze The brick structure and slate roof greatly impeded the work of the firemen and the buildings were badly gutted. It is lm- possible at present to estimate the loss but it will be large. Several hundred clerks were employed in the building and for a time there was the greatest excitement. All, however, escaped but there were sev- eral narrow escapes from suffocation. The lightning entered the telegraph room in which are stored tons of papers and the fire communicating with these gained great Hg4dway. All railway business was tenn porarily suspended

SEVERAL COLLISIONS.

| North shore Limited Trains on tn, New York Central CoIIfde-Serfoul Accident at Troy-Sfx Killed on tho Baltimore and OhiO-Both Engine, and Several Cars Damaged in q
 Freight Train CoIlision.
 LocKPoRT, N. Y., Sept. S.-At s4:0s o'clock this morning two North Shore linn tied trains, one going east and the other west, collided with terrific force on the Central track near the station in this city. Engine 692 of the train going east was telescoped by engine 735 of the west bound train, and they now stand locked together with their smokestacks nearly touching each other.
 The tender of the engine of the east bound train was forced back over half it's length into the Wagner buffet car Mo- 42O, and the baggageman, W. A. Fielder of New York city, was instantly killed. The tender of engine No. 735 was also driven in like manner into buffet car No. 419.
 The engineer of this engine, Edson Brad ley of Syracuse, suffered compound frac- ture of both legs, and the fireman, William Houston, also of Syracuse, received bad flesh wound on one thigh and severe cuts on the head. No other injuries of any account were reported, although the pas sengers of both trains were badly shocked by the force of the collision.
 AS these trains do not stop at this sta tion the passengers were saved only by the square interlocking of the engines. Had the collision occurred but two or three rods to the east one train would have cut the other in two and the loss of life would undoubtedly have been appalling The West-bound train was due here at 3:22 am. and was therefore over half an hour be- hind time. Their meeting place is San born, twelve miles west of this city. It is said that both had instructions this morn ing to meet at the junction two miles west of the city. The disaster does not obstruct the passage of through trains.
 TROY, N. Y., Sept. 8.-A Troy and AL bany train on the New York Central road collided this morning with the locomotive of passenger train standing at the en- trance of the Sixth avenue tunnel. The local trains last coach was riding two tracks, the rear truck, it is believed, hay ing been displaced by the turning of a switch before the last car had passed The rear car was wrecked, but the passen- gers, twelve in number, escaped serious injury except E. J. Bliss of Boston, who was slightly bruised about the head and body.
 PITTsBURa, Pa., Sept. s.-Wheeling re- ports serious accident on the Baltimore and Ohio railroad at Littleton, twenty miles from Wheeling. Six persons are re- ported killed.
 BALTIMORE, Md, Sept. S.-The report by the Baltimore and Ohio people of the collision of freight trains last night at Board Tree tunnel states that both engines and several cars were badly damaged. En- gineer D. Kelley had his right leg broken and is slightly burned about the face. En- gineer Charles Luthke was slightly injured by jumping from the locomotive. Fire man Lee is badly scalded and Brakeman Louden is seriously injured. The cause of the collision is now the subject of inquiry by the railroad company.
