 IT WAS THE THIRD ACCIDENT TO THE FIX PRESS TRAIN A WOMAN KILLED AND TWO MEN FATALLY INJURED ON THE SAME RUN FOURTH ACCIDENT RE sULTANT BY WHICH BRAKEMAN IS FATALLY INJURED.
 NoRwALK, Sept. 7.-It appears that the railroad accident at South Norwalk last evening was the third that occurred to the | express on the same run. The train left Boston at 12 o'clock noon via the New England road and reached Hartford on
 time at 3:15. Just below Hartford 8 woman, who was crossing the track, was
 struck and killed, and just below Meriden two men, who were walking on the track,
 were struck and both fatally injured. All three accidents occurred when the train was running at reduced rate of speed. These three accidents were not all for which this train was responsible. The Housatonic train, after it had dropped the l two damaged cars and replaced them by two others, had lost it's right of way over ! the single track of the Danbury and Nor- walk division, and when it had gone less l than four miles on it's northward trip l it was run upon the switch back of the fair grounds to allow mixed train to pass down. l The grade here is very heavy and the mix ed train of seven or eight freight cars with 6 passenger car at the rear came along at a high rate of speed. The freight cArs pass ! ed the switch all right, but the wheels of the rear truck of the passenger car took to the rails on the siding and the car crashed | against the front of the locomotive of the north bound train breaking away the light iron work, the steam cylinder and the air compressor. The passenger car escaped with small damage, but @ brakeman on the | rear platform was hurled to the ground, receiving very severe if not fatal injuries.
 The freight cars were drawn to South Nor
 walk while the passenger car and passenger train waited until locomotive could be | sent from Danbury, when the passenger
 cars, the disabled locomotive and the dam | aged passenger were taken to the northern l terminus of the road,

 schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ, that
 we might be justified by faith. But after
 that faith is come we are no longer un-
 der a schoolmaster." The discourse was
 very attentively listened to and appreci-

 ton of the church tower, the hanging and
 ringing of Trinity's old bell in the belfry
