ACCIDENT AND INCIDENT.

X New Britain Man Seriously Injured
 While Cleaning n Machine.
 In Charles E. Hart's room at the Stan- ley works i'll New Britain, Saturday. Edwin Weldon was cleaning his machine when the cotton waste caught in the belt. Instead of letting go MT Weldon tried to pull it from the belt. It is thought that he reached too far and un- consciously took hold of the belt. He was pulled forward so that his head was drawn in between revolving gpulley and an upright on the machine. His head was seriously injured and was flattened so that the nose and the cheek bones were broken. Dr Dean was called and dressed the wounds. The doctor thinks that the base of the skull is frac- tured and that his chances of recovery are slight.
 James Wilby, foreman of the car in- spectors employed at Belle dock, New Haven, was run over Ey a switch en- zine this afternoon. His right leg was so badly injured that it is feared ampu. tation will be necessary.

POLICE COURT.
< PItlIul story of Domestic Troubl,
 Told 10 Lndge Brad sI resit.


 Told to Judge BradstreSt.
 William Curtiss, who lives on Buck s hill, was before the police court this morning, charged with committing an assault upon William Bominden, farm hand employed by l.. E. Pearsall, on the night of August ?. It was brought out in the testimony that about 10 o'clock on the night in question, a collision oc- cured between teams driven by the principals in the affair. Curtiss accused Bominden of deliberately running into him. Words led to blows and, so Bom- inden swore, Curtiss belabored him with a horsewhip when he refused to pay damages claimed by the latter. When the smoke cleared away Bominden's watch was a wreck and there was an air hole in Curtiss' stiff hat. Judge Bradstreet imposed fine of Sl and costs upon Curtiss.
 David Sheehy was charged with assault ing his wife on the night of August II. The accused said that the trouble was caused by the drinking habits of his wife. On the night in question she flew into a rage because he proposed to have his mother help to care for his child, which was dangerously sick. The trouble ended by Sheehy driving his wife from the house. She complained to Prosecuting Attorney Burpee and yesterday her hus- band was arrested. Sheehy, who is well spoken of by his acquaintances, has never before appeared as a prisoner in the police court. He told straight forward story and was promptly dis charged by Judge Bradstreet.

 Deputy Collector John F. Gaffey of New Haven, who conducts a school of stenography in this city, has returned and he has special reason for being thankful that such is the fact. On the homeward trip, and while the train was at East Albany, strikers derailed several freight cars and tore up the tracks, causing delay. Mir Gaffey had natural curiosity to witness the conduct of the much talked of strikers and the Pinker- ton guardians of the peace, and left his near the scene of the disturbance when two pistol bullets whistled past his ears.

The Derby Transcript of Friday an. nounced that James Lyons. hOstler at Austin Harris's stables in Shelton, had fallen heir to a fortune of $25, ,000, through the death of an uncle.

 Of "McCarthys Mishaps" which will be seen at the opera house this evening, the New Orleans Times Democrat says: To say that the immense audience which crowded the St Charles theatre was pleased with the performance which ap- peared on the boards there last night would be drawing it mildly. They came to see n farce, and "McCarthy's Mis. haps," the play represented, fulfilled their expectations. Throughout it's entire course, from the time the curtain went up on the first act until it was rung down on the close of the performance, the audience was kept in a state of bois- terous hilarity. %

The fire spread with great rapidity owing to the large amount of hay stored in the building. By dint of hard work most of the stock and farm ing implements were saved. Owing to the strong wind prevailing the house and adjoining buildings would undoubt- edly have been burned, but for the timely arrival of the engine, assisted by the pouring rain.
