ACCIDENT AND INCIDENT.
A New England Railroad Employe
Killed at Putnam.

A New England Railroad EmpIOyo
Killed at Putnam.
Fred McGrury, one of the workmen
engaged in operating a snow pillow on
received a severe blow from the lever of
the pillow while near the Putnam coal
shute, yesterday, killing him almost in
stantly. He was struck on the head,
back of the left ear, causing a bad frac-
ture of the skull, rendering him uncon-
scious, in which state he remained until
he died, about three-quarters of an hour
later. He was 20 years of age and I'M
married.
The breaking of governor belt ON an
engine in Green & FantonS hat factory,
in Danbury, caused the engine to ruin
away" about 6 o'clock last night, and
the increased speed caused the three-ton
fly wheel to burst. Flying iron shatter-
ed the floors and roof for so feet, and a
piece weighing half a ton fell on the
factory of Davenport & Won Call and
broke in 20 feet Of the roof. Two girls
were hurt by jumping from window
in the panic.
Joseph Coultas, a stereotyper from
New York, went to Hartford Tuesday
to work for a while for the Evening
Post, in connection with the new press
which has just been put up in that of
flee. He was sent up by r. Hoe & Co.,
who made the press. Coultas stopped at
the Brewer house. Wednesday night
he went to the polo game, and about 10
O'Clock went to bed. AS he did not come
out of his room during the morning the
employees of the hotel began to get I'M
easy. Finally one of the walters, after
knocking and getting no answer, looked
into the room over the transom. He got
strong Whit of gas and saw Conltas
lying on the floor in his underclothes,
top shirt and stockings. The door was
burst open and the man was found to
be dead, with the gas turned on. The
man had been in bed and seems to have
made an attempt to reach the window
and open it.
When DIR Bacon visited "Jim" Sealy
at the Hartford hospital yesterday and
made more careful examination of the
eye injured in the polo game Wednes-
day night, he spoke more hopefully
than he did after first seeing it. There
is a fighting chance, he thinks, that the
sight may be saved. Still he regards the
wound as a dangerous one and has en-
Joined the strictest quiet. Sealy is not
permitted to see more than one visitor a
day, and then only for little while.
Great care must be taken to prevent the
loss of sight. But the chances of good
recovery are much better than they
were thought to be Wednesday night.
| Lyman Sarles died yesterday, at Dan.
bury, from injuries received Monday
when q lamp exploded with him while
he was in his barn. Mr. Sarles has been
a sufferer from severe accidents on
several occasions. He broke his right
hip twice, and about year ago his left
hand was blown off by the premature
explosion of a blast.

After. Many Years.

FALL RIVER, Mass, March 6.-An un-
usual marriage was performed here yes
terday, when Justice George Grimes
united John Pierce, aged 81, and Sarah
Pierce Cousins, aged 81, in wedlock. 1t
was the marriage of a man to his
divorced wife. Pierce is stone blind
but enjoys the best of health. The
couple were first married about forty
years ago. Pierce went to the war and
returned to his home in this
city five years later. He went
west but his wife refused to
accompany him. Fifteen years later
Mrs Pierce obtained a divorce on the
ground of desertion and soon after was
married to James Cousins, a Boston
man. Pierce returned to this city few
years ago and went to 1--we with this
married son. A few years ago Cousins
died and Pierce surprised his relatives by
expressing a desire to meet and re-
marry his divorced wife. The meeting
was soon arranged and marriage ar
ranged. Mr. and Mrs Pierce are now
living in this city.

CHAPMAN VS. CITY OF WATERBURY

Building on the Corner of Brook
and East Main Streets.
The case of Mary A. Chapman VS.
the city of Waterbury was argued in
the supreme court at Hartford, yester-
day. Webster s. O'Neill for the plaintiff;

which on account of the alteration of a
street part of the building belonging to
Mary A. Chapman ON the corner of
Brook and East Main streets was cut
away by the street inspector, the cutting
being done pending an appeal for assess,
ment made by the plaintiff, who there
upon brought suit, claiming damages
for loss of rent during the pro.
ceedings, cost of alterations, diminished
rental value of buildings. and loss of use
of land in the rear of the buildings, al
amounting to SABA. A part of thi:
claim was figured on the expectation OF
life of the plaintiff. The case has beer
greatly complicated by various proceed
ings since the first appeal.

sCHEELE ALL RIGHT.
Ate Three Meals Yesterday and
Drank Cool Lager.

Drank Cool Lager.
Jacob Scheele, the New Canaan MUIR
derer, who is in Jail at Bridgeport,
would cause envy among Fifth avenue
dudes should he be allowed to prone
made through New York's aristocratic
thoroughfare some pleasant afternoon.
Yesterday Jailer Wells purchased a new
suit of spring clothes for him, up to the
latest date, and presented them to him.
This is the last suit he will wear on this
earth excepting the ones he will don on
execution day, unless he cheats the
hanginan. The murderer was pleased
with the new apparel and after taking a
shave and bath he stepped into them
with as much pleasure as boy would
in his first pants.
Scheele ate three hearty meals yester-
day and drank several glasses of cool
lager. Last night for supper he disposed
of roast beef, eggs, toast and coffee. He
seems in excellent spirits and none the
worse for his fast.
Scheele knows that he is watched
every minute of the day, but this does
not prevent him from trying to kill him
self. Last Sunday morning he attempt
ed to butt his brains out against the iron
wall of his cell. Special Officer Hayes,
who was on guard at the time, rushed
into the cell and stopped him from
carrying out his intention. Scheele dis
plays luminosity toward the watchers.
A few days ago while in a fit of passion
he hurled tin cup at the head of the
special officer. Sheriff Clarkson placed
the guards over him fully two months
ago and from now until his death he
will be watched constantly. Sheriff
Clarkson has decided to take every pos
sible precaution to prevent him from
committing suicide. Now that the
murderer has abandoned his fast, it is
fully expected that he will live until the
day of execution,

Apparently, says the Hartford Post,
there is an effort on the part of the
"Big Four" as the leading dressed beef
dealers are called, to force up the prices
of meats in Hartford. The supply sent
to that place has been cut down from
nine carloads to five each week. This
naturally has the effect of making the
