This is what Vice President Reed says
about grade crossings on the CONSOLIDATE
ed:
Our road will be the only railroad in the
country without grade crossing. When the
four tracks are completed on the New York
division, there will not be grade crossing on
that line. AS fast we are putting in the
double tracks. we are doing away with the
grade crossings. either taking the highways
over or under. In Il few months there would
not be grade crossing between New London
and New York. In these days, there should
be no crossings at grade and no road is per
fect'with such grades. In England, they have
no grade crossings" ~

Though not within the legal definition
OF mayhem and, therefore, simply a case
of aggravated assault, the result of the
altercatien between Henry Meyers and
Fred Wenzel, Monday evening, has
aroused widespread Indignation. Mey-
ers and Wenzel had had disagreement
on the train, but had exchanged nothing
more than angry words. After leaving
the train at Newtown, hostilities were
quickly renewed, Wenzel attacking Mey-
ers with slight provocation. During the
fight, they clinched and Wenzel, who
says Meyers had bitten him first, seized
Meyers's lower lip, between the mouth
and chin. in his teeth and held it with
such savage force that, even when pulled
away by bystanders.h he refused to let go.
Meyers was badly hurt, piece of flesh
being bitten out of his face and hanging
by mere thread, while Wenzel showed
hardly mark in comparison. Meyers
was taken at once to DR. Richardson, who
closed the wound as well as possible (for
the face was lacerated and the edges of
the bite were ragged, as if the flesh had
been chewed) and took seven stitches.
Wenzel, who was at the shop and about
the streets as usual after his revolving
deed, was arrested, Wednesday morning,
by Sheriff Glover, on a writ charging
him with assault. He was brought to
Newtown Street and arraigned before
Justice nj. j. Cavanaugh, but, as he had
no counsel and as Meyers, the principal
witness for the prosecution, was unable
to be present, the hearing was adjourned
until Thursday, 2lst, at a m. Bonds for
Wenzels appearance were fixed at 5000
and were furnished by his mother.

pany at Parlor Rock, Monday. of whom
Il number were from Danbury. The
special train carried over 200 and about
$50 tickets to Long Hill were sold. In

entity attended. The financial success
was greater than for some years before,
something over 500 being cleared. This
will be devoted to the fund for the sick
benefit association. Good order was pre-
served during the day and the picnic was
voted a success in every way by those
who attended. In addition to the usual
forms of amusement at the grove, game
of base ball had been arranged between
the n. Y. b. & 2. club of Sandy Hook
and the Danbury X. of c. club. &I'he To-
cal nine has had several contests with
Danbury players and has been victori-
Gus in each until this. As the game had
been advertised as for the championship,
the ball field proved the center of inter-
est. The game was we'll played through
out, but the Danburys threw an earnest
ness into the battle which, aided by
blunder on the part of the Hook men,
gave them the game and the champion
ship, though only by single point. The

Electrocution, OF execution of con-
demned criminals by electric shock i'll
place of hanging, was declared by high
court to be ''unusual, but not necessarily
cruel" during the legal struggle for life
of William kemnier, sentenced to cleo
trocution in Auburn, n. y, for murder
ing his mistress, Tillie Zeigler. After
appealing to all sources, Kemmiers coun-
sci was forced to abandon the fight and
he was given up to die. At 6 4S, We'd
nesday morning, he Was placed in the
chair and the electric current applied F;
but, though physicians declare that he
was unconscious after the first shock, it
was necessary to apply it three times and
to keep it on four minutes to insure death.
Those who witnessed say that the sight
was horrible in the extreme; not only
unusual, but cruel.
