AT LAST IDENTIFIED.
Body Found in Greenwich Woods
was that of Jim Adams.

The identity of the man found in the
woods near Greenwich last Sunday seems
to be established by letter received from
Charles A. Tubbs of the firm of Tubbs 81
Perry, Alden street, Boston, Mass. A
card of this firm was found in the dead
mans pocket, and a letter from the
coroner TO Mr.. Tubbs brought this morn
ing the information.
We have no doubt according TO all ac-
counts but that the body you found is that
of "Jim Adams" who used to be one of
the patrons OF our :place. He left about
six or seven weeks ago for New York,
afoot, with friend who accompanied him
as far as Providence, but there they sepa-
rated. The other man is now here. At
home Adams was rather of "A despondent
nature and also an excessive user of
drinks His clothes and description
answers very well, excepting that his
moustache was black, not sandy.

It was Foggy and There Were No
Signals Set.
MANY PERSONS WERE INJURED.
An Open Switch Caused Two Freight
Trains to Crash Together-Then the
Norwich Steamboat Train and the
Long Island Express Piled on Top Of
the wIeck-Evident Negligence Some
where.
ESPECIAL TO THE NEws.l

WEBSTER, Dec 4.-Four trains were
wrecked at East Thompson, Conn, about
6 o'clock this morning. Four persons
were killed outright, and many Others in
jured, several Of them fatally. The train
caught fire, and another person was
burned to death.
IL is one of the most serious railroad acS
cidents that has visited New England in
many years.
At the time of the accident it was very
foggy, and it was impossible TO see but a
few feet ahead of the engine. A freight
train, making up to go to Southbridge,
was at a standstill on the wrong track,
near the station at East Thompson, when
n special freight from New York crashed
into 1t, going ut full speed.
There was no fiagman to warn the en-
Rineer Of the freight train of the danger.
the dense fog prevented him from seeing
the freight train until he was close to it,
and then IL was too late. The freight cars
We're piled up in broken mass on the
track, and those who escaped injury set TO
work to relieve the less fortunate.
The fast express from Brooklyn to Bos-
ton on the Long Island and Eastern States
Line was due at this time, but in the ex-
ClttmeuU nODOuy WAS StuJ Ddth W give
the warning. IL came bowling along at
full speed and ran pell nell into the rear
end of the wrecked freight train.
Just then the steamboat train from New
London, which was late, came along, and
as no flag was visible, smashed into the
rear Of the Long Island express, making
pile of wreckage on both tracks such as is
seldom SEEN Two locomotives were
twisted out of shape and freight and pas
senger cars were piled high on one an
other The only wonder is that no more
were killed outright
Wreckers were summoned from Boston,
New London, Norwich and Worcester. A
wrecking train arrived from Boston about
10 o'clock with 100 workmen and surgeons.
The work of clearing the track was pushed
as rapidly as possible.
So far as Is known at present the killed
are Engineer Henry Tabor, and Fireman
M. Fitzgerald of the Long Island Express,
an unknown passenger who was burned
TO death In the fire which Immediately
started, and boy Oh the express,
. who went out to see what had
happened. The injured as far as
known are Engineer Wilder and
Fireman Boyce of the special freight,
seriously, and Engineer Hurley and Fire
man Loudon of the steamboat train,
slightly. Very meagre reports make it
impossible to ascertain the exact number
OF killed and injured.

Mr. Rich testified that when resorting
to law was mentioned Mr.. Webster Of the
commission said that the matter of arbi-

would be thrown out of court; therefore
he accepted the 5000 on the advice of

FIRE IN JERSEY CITY.
Hard Work to Save the New Pennsyl-
vania Railroad Depot.

New YORK, Dec AT an early hour
this morning disastrous fire broke out
in Jersey City, which threatened the beau
tiful new Pennsylvania railroad depot
which runs along Exchange street for
about 200 yards. The fire broke out in a
building used as business and ticket Of
fees by the railroad company.
The flames spread with remarkable
rapidity, and soon after the fire broke out
these buildings were like a roaring fur
mace. The city fire department, together
with the railroad company's department,
kept continuous streams on the new depot,
for the fire i'm the other buildings was so
far beyond control that any effort TO
quench the flames, it was seen, would be
futile. IL was then allowed to burn out.
The cause of the fire is thought TO have
been the breaking of the gas pipes through
the friction of the ferry boats when going
into heir slips. The gas is supposed to
have ignitcd in the buildings destroyed,
causing an explosion.
