 NEW HAVEN JAIL, Aug IS, 1891. To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER:
 I desire, through the medium of the press, to say word to the temperance people of the state, many of whom have listened to my addresses.
 Through the efforts of Worthy Patriarch A. M. Kendrick, who has been to me more than friend, have spoken in fifty or more localities in the state. have been received with kindness and enthusiasm. have been honest and earnest in the work, trying to arouse and awaken the people to realization of the magnitude and misery of the drink traffic in this land. About fifteen months ago, by the power of God, I was raised out of the slums, with a terrible record, a wrecked life. During that time, so help me God, I have not tasted drop of alcohol in any form I have been saved from it by my loving Savior. A few days before my recent arrest Dr. Whittemore was called to my room at the Pingree house, where was suffering from an attack of bilious collie. It clung to me for several days. went to the drug store corner State street and Grand avenue and pro- cured bottle of cholera mixture. also went to Woods drug store and obtained Jamaica ginger. From these drugs got alcohol. The old appetite was aroused. I have in my blood, nerves, brain or some where a magazine which the smallest quantity of alcohol explodes. Then noth- ing can save but bolts and bars I shall make the fight again, asking God to put around me his strong arm and keep me to the end. HoRATIo N. WARNER

A CRASH AT THE RAILROAD GU

A CRASH AT THE RAILROAD CUT.
 the State Street Bridge-The Ob-
 nor.
 a An accident that might have cost lives
 was averted at the State street railroad
 cut last night. At $40, Bolisky, a shoe-
 maker, whose place of business is on the
 east side of the street, near Wall street,
 the cut between the double tracks of the
 main line and the State street bridge. At this point the Northampton division of the New York, New Haven and Hartford railroad leaves the double track and mak- ing an abrupt curve to the north passes under State street. The bridge is in the full arc of this curve, and the junction of the two lines is effected about three hun- dred feet away from the State street cross ing. Bolisky looking down on the single tracks from the east side of the bridge saw large dark object lying across the rails. At the same time two men were observed hastily running across the street in the direction of saloon. The shoemaker quickly summoned the officer of the beat, who went down with him and found tremendous slab of stone stretching across the rails, and of the thickness of perhaps three feet top pied over upon the rails. The united ef- forts of the two men scarcely availed, af ter great deal of straining and tugging, in rolling the rock over into the ditch and against the wall of the embankment. Af ter the obstruction had been removed other officers were called and thorough search was made in the vicinity. No trace of the men seen hurrying away could be found in any of the neighboring saloons. The only description of the fellows that could~be obtained was that one of them had large, full face. The stone came from thecoping of the bridge, having been from it's position by working backward and forward the iron bar which passed through it. A passenger train went over the Canal road at S:1O, and there were other freight trains later in the even ing It it thought that the men were par tislly intoxicated at the time of the deed.

A HALE OLD MAN.
A Notable Trip Across the Sound in
 Row Boat A Years Ago.

A Notable Trip Across the Sound in Row Boat A Years Ago.
 Joel Norton of Mount Sinai, Long Island, near Port Jefferson, formerly of New Ha- ven, is hale old gentleman of seventy eight still active and vigorous. In years not long since he was employed by the late Henry White of this city, who resided on Church street. In the winter of 1S47, when thirtyfve years of age, he with two companions rowed across the sound in yacht row boat, to New Haven from Mt. Sinai. He roved the whole distance, his two friends alternating with their pair of oars. His friends were Jacob Eaton, now living at Mt. Sinai, and Charles Eaton, now residing at 54 Sea street, this city. They came here to get the 1O0-ton schooner Equity, and reported to Captain Henry Foote of Fair Haven for the purpose. Jacob Eaton was master of the Equity. The trio started from Mt. Sinai at a. m. and arrived here four hours later at 12 o'clock noon, which was uncommonly fast time considering the distance-over twenty miles as the crow flies, to say nothing of inevitable brief diversions from straight line. It was in midwinter, too, and they found New Haven harbor covered with 8 thin coating of ice, which somewhat hin dered their progress. There was only light breeze blowing during their passage, and the water was quite calm. Luckily for the voyagers it remained so.
 They landed first at Long Wharf. They brought with them between 40 and 50 pounds of cells for which they readily sold here at 6 cents per. pound, taking in ex- change dried apples at three cents pound. The cells were sold to Edward Graham. The boat in which they made the trip had just been presented to Captain Norton by MT. Leferts Cole of New York owner of the yacht Minnie, who had just sold the Minnie to New York pilots. MT. Coles after selling the Minnie had the schooner yacht Breeze built for him by J. M, Bay les, of Port Jefferson. This yacht was finally altered over into schooner which brought many load of oysters from Virginia to Fair Haven and was commanded by Captain Somers. Captain Norton on his return home from rowing to New Ha- ven was just in time to be present at the laying of the keel of the Breeze. He was appointed master of the Breeze and con- tinued commander of her for several years. The venerable captain is the father of Joel s. Norton, one of the popular clerks at the store of R. w. Mills, the we'll known grocer on State street, this city, and who has just returned from visit to the old home. His father has for number of years been retired from active employment but takes pleasure yet in yachting, crab ping, and like sports near home, and in taking oversight of his comfortable little farm on the coast of old Long Islands sea girt shore.

A NARROW ESCAPE.

Trains Stopped Within Fifty Yards
 of Each Other-Wetherbee Not to
 Blame.
 What came very near being a railroad accident yesterday morning occurred just north of Winchester's armory on the Northampton road.
 An incoming freight due in this city about 6 o'clock and the outgoing work train loaded with Italian laborers were stepped within fifty yards of each other.
 After little delay the freight train was switched aside and the work train passed on.
 The Italians, although they knew what had happened, made no demons tration. A story was given around that the blame of the matter rests with Charles Wetherbee, the conductor of the work train. A man in position to know said last night that Wetherbee was not to blame.
 An investigation will probably be held
