KILLED BY A GRAVEL TRAIN.
A Track Laborer Pinned Against a Wall
 Near BurtVilIe.

Near BurtvilIe.
 A party of railroad laborers, shortly before o'clock last evening, had a par row escape from destruction in the stone cut south of Derby near Burtville. The tracks of the Naugatuck and Derby railroads at this point are within 20 inches of each other and as the men were going home from work the up train on the Naugatuck road came along. It made so much noise that they did not detect the approach of Con- ductor Smiths gravel train on the Derby road until it was almost on them. There were six men in the party, and as both trains approached they tried to get off the track on the wall side of the cut. All succeeded in doing so in safety with the exception of Michael Connors. He was struck on the left hip and thrown against the wall. He was picked up unconscious after the train had passed. The back of his head was crushed by coming in contact with the wall and his left leg was badly bruised. Connors was removed to his home in Burtville, and a doctor summoned, but before he arrived the man was dead.

IT'S A DOUBLE DEADLOCK ROW.

BY q concurrent resolution OF the State
Legislature at Albany the final adjourn
mont of that body Is to take place week
from to-day. Owing to q stern resolve on
the part of members of the upper and
lower houses, neither one Of those bodies
is likely TO transact, between this time
anS that, any Of the public business which
the members were elected to do. The par
tissn deadlock in the Senate over the
tardily introduced resolution for Repub-
lican Investigation OF the canals, is the
cause OF this state Of affairs, the Demo
cratic Assembly having practically decided
that no business shall be done In Its
chamber until tbs Republicans get out OF
the way of legislation In the upper house.
The rejection that the regular session OF
the States law-making body is to close
under such circumstances as these is far
from Q pleasant one. Men chosen by the
