ACCIDENT AND INCIDENT.


Death of the Second Victim of n Rail-
road Accident.
Miss Nellie Lynch, who was injured
by a Putnam train near Willimantic,
February %, died at noon, yesterday, at
DIR Hills hospital. The death resulted
from the injury to the left temple,
which caused inflammation of the brain.
She lost foot at the time of the acct
dent. Ellen O'Brien, sister of Margaret
O'Brien, who was killed at the time of
the accident, visited Miss Lynch March
z, when the latter got greatly excited
talking over the accident. She grew
worse and on the 10th became uncon.
scious and remained so until her death.
George Toolan, aged 80, a we'll known
saloon keeper in East Bridgeport, was
stabbed in the back Saturday night and
will probably die. He was crossing, the
lower bridge, and had reached a point
near the center of the bridge, when
suddenly an unknown man rushed from
behind one of the upright iron braces
and stabbed him in the back. Toolan
fell forward on his face and imme-
diately tainted. He was found there a
few moments after he had been assault
ed and was removed to the emergency
hospital. The knife, which was found
| carried by Italians.
On Wednesday, March II, Miss Ella
j. Learned, member of the family of
hand slightly scratched by pet Italian
greyhound that was sick. Nothing
| serious was expected as four physicians
had stated that the dog was not suffer-
ing from rabies although it was very
restless and had commissions. A week
ago Sunday the dog died, and Wedues-
day night Miss Learned was taken sick.
Thursday she was worse and a physician
who was called pronounced the case
hydr6phobia. Miss Learned had all the
symptoms and although three other
physicians were called in they were I'M
able to relieve her sufferings. Saturday
afternoon Miss Learned died after suf-
fering terrible agony.
A man named ellis had a narrow
escape from Italians, in Birmingham,
Saturday night. His clothing was cut
in several places with stilettos, but only
in the arm was the flesh penetrated.
He went in, he says, to their shanty on
Caroline street to grind a saw, but they
pitched on to him for his pains. Two
of the Italians are under arrest, one is
named Ferraro and the name of the
otner sounds like DuargO.
Four men assaulted John O'Nein, a
Birmingham saloon keeper, Saturday
night, battering his skull with glasses.
Thew are Patrick Reardon, John Rear
don, John Cronin and John Moriarty,
and the assault was the result of a row
which started Friday. O'Neill will in
all probability lose an eye. His head
was badly cut. While Dirt. j. Sullivan,
who is the warden of the borough, was
dressing ONeilrs Wounds the four men
who had left the saloon returned, in
tending to finish O'Nelll. But, DR.
O'Sullivan stopped dressing the mans
wounds and sailed in, landing the four
fellows in the gutter.
On the Air Line road yesterday an ac-
cident OCCURRED to the Boston fast
freight which left New Haven a 1850 a.
m. A rock had fallen upon the track
near Lyman's viaduct and the engine
struck it and was derailed. After run
ming some distance along the ties and
road bed the engine fell over on its side,
thus effectually blocking the road. 1t
was a narrow, escape from a plunge
from the high trestle at that point.
