GRADE CROSSING ACCIDENT.

Last Saturday morning the 0. N. ID. & w. passenger leaving Canaan at 6.10 o'clock, struck team on the crossing at the 'old toll gate" near West Win sted. The wagon was drawn by two horses and 1t contained Wallace Wood ruff, his wife, her two sisters, his wife's mother, and young man named Smith. The train struck one of the hind wheels of the wagon, and Miss Etta V. Smith one of the ladies who occupied tIe back seat in the wagon, was thrown up- on the track and killed. The rest of tLe party escaped serious injury. The horses were not hurt but the wagon was demolished.
 Coroner Hardenbergh of Canaan he'll an inquest at Winsted on Monday and testimony was given by the trainmen, by two passengers and by MT Wood ruff and others. The following is Cor oner Hardenberghs verdict.
 "In the matter of the inquest on the body of Etta V. Smith, I find from all the facts and circumstances of the case as near as they could be ascertained that her death was not caused by the criminal act, omission or carelessness o1 any other person or persons. This crossing is a rather dang gfrous one, but it seems that everything was done thaN could be done to avoid the accident The usual danger signal was gwen al the whistling post, and as soon as the team was discovered on the track the engine was reversed and the brakes ap piled but the distance was so short anc on a down grade that the train coulc not be stopped in time to avoid the col lision."

William Missed the Net and Broke His
 Neck.
 CLINTON, Ia., July 14.-During the after noon performance of Adam Forepaugh's show the crane broke upon which William Hanlon, of Hanlon Brothers, gymnasts, was performing. He fell to the ground, missing the net, and, striking upon his head, broke his neck, dying almost in stantly. He was thirty-one years old, born in London and had for twenty-four years been associated with the Hanlon volters. Last August he had a similar ac- cident at the Academy of Music, New York, falling from the dome and breaking two parquet chairs. His work was upon the horizontal bar in the center, Robert and James Hanlon doing the flying tra- peze.
 Robert and James will remain with Forepaugh through the balance of the sea- son. William leaves 8 widow, but had no children. Coroner Meyers impaneled a jury, who returned verdict of accidental death, exonerating Manager Cooper from all blame.
