ACCIDENT AND INCIDENT.
Foreman in the New England Freigh
 Yard at Willimantic Killed.

Foreman in the New England Freight
 Yard at Willimantic Killed.
 James Connors, foreman of the New York 6 New England freight yard at Willimantic, while sboveling snow from the Railroad street crossing near the station yesterday, was struck by the switching engine No 49 and carried along several feet, being rolled over and over. The upper part of the ribs on the left side were fractured, his left leg broken and foot crushed, and his head and thigh badly bruised. He was taken to Dr Hills hospital, where he died soon after. He has been in the employ of the New York & New England road for the past nine years, three years at Hop River, and was sober, industrious and hard working man. He leaves a wife and three little children. He was go years old.
 John c. Washburne of Colchester, who has lately been taken to the town farm, committed suicide Thursday morning, by cutting his throat with a razor. He aros Thursday morning and dressed as usual, but not coming at breakfast time, search was made for him. He was found under a shed with his throat cut from ear to ear. He was an intelligent man, but could not resist the temptation to drink. It is probable that the deed was done in a temporary alteration of mind. It is understood that he leaves a wife in New York and brother in Willimantic. The de- ceased had lived in that vicinity for about ten years, and a part of the time had been employed in the rubber shop. A peculiar accident occurred in East Haven Thursday. Acklin Walker and wife went away and left the children alone on their farm. During their ab- sence one of his COWS fell down a well which was twenty feet deep. Help was called and about all the men in the neighborhood responded. They rigged up a block and tackle derrick and some one went down into the well and put the rope about the struggling animals horns. The men then took long pull, a strong pull and a pull altogether and drew the beast up to the top of the earth. There were no bones broken. Maggie, the twelve year old daughter of William Martin of Thomaston, was fatally burned yesterday while playing near bonfire.
 Two men, one named Jeffrey O'Con- nor, and the other an Italian, name unknown, had a narrow escape from in stant death, at Shelton to-day. While working m a ditch a cave-in occurred and the men were buried to their necks under the bank. They were badly bruised, but will recover.

An Alleged Message From John Pfrender Found in West River.

An Alleged Message From John Pfrender
 Found in West River.
 Either the practical joker has inter- ested himself in the case of John Pfren- der. who has been missing from his home in West Haven for six weeks, and is supposed to have been drowned, or the mystery is about to be solved. Yes terday fisherman named Clinton found bottle floating in West river, which contained a piece of paper on which was written the following: NEW HAVEN, Feb %, 1891. My Dear Friends:
 If do not return in three weeks you will find me in West river with stone tied around my neck. JOHN PFRENDER.
 The missing mans wife is satisfied that the note is genuine. Others, how ever, intimate friends of Pfrender say that the message was written by another person.

Guy first money, Ed Rosewater second,
Bowlev third, Waterloo Boy fourth.
In this race the first attempt to score
was attended by lamentable accident
which the Democrat describes as fol-
lows;
The pole horse driven by its owner,
G. A. Smith, OF Chicago, and the favor
tie in the pools, swerved so as 10 bring
the sulky against the railing and partial-
ly overturn it. The driver attempted to
leap to the ground, but lurch of the
sulky sent him down between il and
the horse. An attempt to get out over
the shafts failed and he went beneath
the horses heels. The reips, the ends
of which were fastened together, caught
his foot. and for an eighth of mile he
was dragged beneath the sulky. A cry
of horror rose from the crowd, and there
was but one opinion written upon all
CONFERENCE.-The If Smith escape d
death II would be miracle. But when he
finally became disenJangled and WAS
picked up, he expressed himself as being
AL right" He was hardly that, though.
Dick mao struck INN il the face ana pos
sibly stepped upon him, but in the excite
ment of the moment he did not feel that
he was hurt. He was brought in to the
Kimball house last evening and although
little stiff from his bruises was able to
move about, and unless Internal injuries
develop he promises to be all right in q
week or two. Shortly after the accident
a suggestion that 4 collection be taken
up for Smiths benefit was put to the
crowd, and as q result Smith was pre-
sented with a hatfUll Of money as he lay
near the stshles upon a pile of straw.
A count of the money showed S104. 80
Dick G. continued Oh mis- way around
the track after leaving his driver in the
dust. Had the horse been left alone he
would have stopped voluntarily sitter
running little. But nothing would do
but that men should run out and wave
their arms az him, yell AZ nm, throw
sticks at him, and so on, until finally the
poor horse was so scared that he
wouldn't have stopped had he run up
ag ainst house. After making the cir
Gle of the track six times Dick stopped
from sheer exhaustion and was secured.

The street car DeaI.

1t bes ms to look more as if there was
something coming out of the reported
street railway negotiations. Today W.
Cole, an expert from Chicago. arrived to
look over the books of both the Daven-
port & Rock Island and Davenport Cen
trail Electric roads and the indications
point strongly to a consolidation. This
will, it is believed, affect Davenport more
than Rock Island. and possibly not Rock
Island At all. 1t is to be hoped SO, as
Rock Island is satisfied with its present
facilities, knows what the Chicago syndi.
cate is doing and will do. and does not
desire change.

the street car officials here are reticent,
BIT to aman up in balloon it would loot

thing that ever struck Davenport if it i:

Romantic Case In Which Gov. Hovey
Figures As the Lovers Champion.
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, May 2S.-Gover-
nor Hovey refuse to order the arrest OF
Mn. Laura Jones, of Lockport, on q
requisition from the governor of Ken
lucky, and instead of sending her, re-
turned tart reply to the comnfunica-
tioa of the brother executive. Mrs.
Jones is the daughter of John Bonhom-
inee, of Owensboro, KY, who objected
to her union with young Jones, with
whom she eloped. In the papers accom-
panying the requisition the father ac-
cuses his daughter of having committed
perjury in swearing that she was of
marriageable age when in fact she was
about 1e years old. The fathers afida-
Wit accompanied the requisition, and the
governor at once determined not to
honor it. In closing his reply he says:
This case seems very strange to me,
where father seeks his daughters ar
rest and made felon because of nat
ural desire to marry the man she loved. q
