ANAnRow ESCAPE.

A Bridgeport Lady With Her Two
 Little Children Barely Escape Being
 Run over by she Cars-One Child h
 Rescued From Almost Under tho
 Cruel Wheels.
 DERBY, July 1.-The bystandsrs about the Derby railroad station had q scare this afternoon from which they will not recover for some time, and the incident, almost tragedy, which occurred, was another proof of the dangerous grade crossing that exists in that locality. The 3:30 train on the Naugatuck division had just come in from from Bridgeport and the passengers were separating for their various destinations. It is always customary for those going over the bridge to Birmingham and other places across the river to walk up the track to the
 bridge. which saves some little distance
 around dusty road without sidewalks. A
 switch track runs parallel with the main line
 past the depot, but joins it just before the
 bridge, and on this track @ little way below
 was an engine with three or four
 freight cars that had been waiting
 for the express to pass by. Among the
 passengers to get out at this place was Mrs.
 Susan Cutler of Bridgeport with her two
 pretty little children, the oldest, Susie, not
 OVoE ASo ycoAo OA oAo' AAOs3 @A0S SSA.S.s3
 were taking this short cut to go over to Bir-
 mingham and did not notice that the switch engine behind them with the cars in front were slowly approaching. As it came nearer, yet unnoticed by her, the people who saw the danger shouted, as she was now close to the switch track where 1t runs into the main track. Mrs. Cutler. looking around, was be- Hildered by the awful fate that threatened both herself and little ones. In her efforts l to save her children she nearly lost her life. The spectators were mortified to see one of the children fall across the track just in front of l the wheels of the first car and her death | seemed inevitable, which would been l the case had not Mir. Benjamin F. Hurd oi Monroe, who was walking in that direction, shown wonderful presence of mind and ceur- age. It was but the work of an instant for l him to pull the distracted mother and one ot the children back from their position of danger and then quickly to snatch up little Susie, the other one, almost from under the very wheels of the car. As it was, part ot her dress was cut off by the wheels. It wae some little time before the onlookers could believe tho. she had been saved from the fate which seemed so certain. Her brave preserver was himself thrown down and barely escaped being run over. The mother was almost overcome by the fright. She took up her little ones and hugged and kissed them, and could not find words to express | her gratitude to their rescuer, as well as hel ! own. MT. Hurd was quite the hero of th' | hour as he we'll deserved to be, and probably | few deeds of his life will ever give hin \ greater satisfaction.

Another Rall Nine.

number of base ball enthusiasts of the New Haven Athletic association met last eve- ming to discuss the practicibility of forming nine. Though nothing definite was settled concerning the matter they showed much in- terest in the scheme and will try to put the thing through and join the amateur league, provided the expenses be not too great. They have excellent material with which to form a ball club, but considerable practic will be necessary. There are in all over twenty candidates available. They can make good battery with Joe Patten in the box and Corbett to support him. Corbett caught for some time on the Adelphi school nine o Brooklyn. Among the others who have figured on the diamond are 0. F. Bradley, who has played first base for the Morris Cove nine, and A. F. Hotchkiss and Frank Winchell of the Orange street club. They will try to get the Elm City Driving park to practice in.

 by Henry FresInus.
 Deputy Sheriff Konold found his man early last evening after a three or four days hunt. He had been industriously searching for Thomas Kelleher on charge of obtaining money under false pretenses from Henry Fresinus, the brewer. Kelleher went to Ere sinus some time ago aad obtained $500 from him for the purpose of buying out one of the "Hill district" saloons. After he had ob- tained the money he began spending it in other ways, and when approached by Fresi- he claimed that the parties had backed out of the bargain, hence the writ. He was appre- hended through the instrumentality of Peter Holland. Kelleher in default of bail was taken by the deputy to the jail.
