InELAND's HOUR OF NEED

Additional subscriptions to the
 "Democrat's" Famine Fund.
 Additional subscriptions to the DEMO- CRAT'S fund for the relief of the starv- ing peasants in Ireland have been re- ceived as follows:
 Mrs J. w. Mccoy, East Main st, $2.00 M. J. Colloty, 900 James J, Cosgrove, 100 Mrs Daley, 200 John Colloty, 100 Nj. Mulholland, 100 F. Corrigan, 100 Amount Previously Reported 199.25
 Many who pose as friends of Ireland protest that there is no danger of famine, and for that reason refuse to encourage the American committee. The London Times and Balfour sheer at the idea of famine. Nevertheless there is already great suffering, and worse in prospect, in the west, southwest and northwest of Ireland.
 Hon John E. Fitzgerald, of Boston, just returned from Ireland, says of the threatened famine: "I myself saw abund- ant proof of famine of the potato crop while I was in Ireland, and the poor law guardians are throughout the country daily sending reports to the authorities that the people are threatened with a terrible famine. Balfour does not want to see it, therefore he says it does not exist"

Mangled By Train of the Naugatuck
 Railroad.

NallrOaus
 James Ward, an unmarried man about 30 years of age, was run over by the passenger train going south, leaving Thomaston at 39 last evening, and re- ceived injuries from which he died at the hospital in this city five hours later.
 Ward boarded the train out of curiosity and when it started he at. tempted to alight but was thrown under the wheels. He was run over by the last truck of the rear car, which almost severed his right arm, besides badly in. turing his head and back. The train was stopped and the injured man taken on board. Dr Axtelle, who was on the train made the poor victim as comfort able as possible under the circumstances.
 It was over an hour after the train reached here before the ambulance arriv- ed to take the sufferer to the hospital. During that time he lay on a stretcher in the baggage room in terrible agony. At 2 o'clock he was taken to the hospital where the mangled arm was amputated. Ward nsver recovered from the shock and died shortly before II o'clock.
 Father Trainor was summoned when it was seen that he could not live, but he was too late and arrived just as the poor unfortunate breathed his last.
 Ward formerly resided at 130 Mill street and was employed by Contractor John w. Gaffney as a bricklayer. About year ago he went to Thomaston to work
