BrfdseportiR Plays a Hot Game-Wins
 After 47 Seconds Playing Over-
 time.
 About 1000 people witnessed the game between New Haven and Bridgeport at the polo rink last evening". They were well rewarded for turning out as they did. Al though New Haven lost, the cranks were satisfied that the local team put up the best game, and that it was sheer luck which won the game for Bridgeport.
 The game started off with rush, the home team forcing the playing. The crowd yelled and cheered as they watched ''Kid" Conway thrown around. Menard knocked the ball down to Mckay, who banged for the goal. Allen stopped the ball, but in attempting to kick the ball out again he kicked it in, scoring one goal for Bridgeport. The New Ravens took the next goal, after pounding the ball at John Smith to their hearts content. The next this goal Wodtlse had Smith all alone. John rushed out and fell on the ball.
 The Bridgeport people then took 2 brace and made two goals in, succession, making the score to in Bridgeport's favor New Haven won the next goal after 8 fight of over seventeen minutes tieing the score. There was four minutes more to play and no goal was scored. The play was started and New Haven began bonn barding Smith. Menard got the ball and went down the rink. He passed to Me- Kay, who caged by drive from nearly center.

Railroad Accident Near Darien.


 Further particulars of the railroad ac- cident which occurred near Darien about 3 o'clock yesterday morning, as was an nounced in the COURIER yesterday morn ing are as follows: A freight train com posed of sixteen cars, in charge. of Con ductor Averill, leaving New Yofk about midnight, was about half way between Darien and Five Mile river when an axle broke on the wheel of one of the grain cars. As 8 consequsuces the train was parted in the middle, and the engine and eight cars went on ahead. The-trai had been moving slowly, at about the rate of fifteen miles an hour, on down grade. So the other cars came on down by the force of their own weight, acquiring greater momentum every foot. The car on which the axle. broke be- came derailed, tearing up the roadbed for about five hundred feet.
 The rear section came crashing down, completely wrecking the two forward cars, but fortunately no one was injured.
 Every train on the road was delayed from four to six hours, and a large mum Der of people from Hartford and other towns up that way, who had come here to see the Bernhardt performance, were obliged to wait from 11:10, when the train was due, to 5:35. The wrechng train was at once sent out, but it wac not until 9. o'clock yesterday morning that every yes tigs Of the wreck was ysmoYsd,

THE GREAT Substitution SHOE SALE!
 NOW GOING ON AT S54 Chapel Street,

Isssunexampled in shoe trade history. M. Bristol & Sons are selling out Our con- nection with the new Bristol Shoe Manu- featuring Company" on Orange street makes this imperative. Our entire stock of boots and shoes must be out of our store within the next six weeks. $30, ,OOO worth of boots and shoes must be sold. Former prices knocked out, positively. This sacrifice beats them all.
 Friday morning, December 11th, our prices will be cut all along the line, and bargains unheard of will be offered.
 We determined after 30 years of business to manufacture and sell our own goods, and as a consequence our Bristol Shoe Manufacturing company was organized last month. Its finished product is now ready for our disposition. We must use our own new shoes and therefore must clean out all other makes.
 The consideration for cost or former prices is out of the question. 'Twould be folly to look elsewhere for shoes of the same grade at our prices. Raw leather cannot be bought as cheap. We mention few of our unapproachable bargains:
 Ladies' Pat. Tip Button, value S1.5O; now 90 cents.
 Ladies' $2.5O Pat. Tip Button Shoes, now $1.65.
 Ladies' 3.50 Fine Kid Shoes, $265. Ladies' S3 90 Fine Wsuk. Button, S2. 75. Misses at a general discount. Children's Shoes-big bargains. Mems Shoes that were S4, now g 90. Mems Boots, $3; worth now S1.50.

FIGHT ON A SCHOONER.

Three of the Crew of the Schooner Kennebec Come to Blows The
 Steward Badly Cut About the Head
 All the Participants Arrested and Punished.
 A row of quite serious nature occurred early yesterday morning on board the schooner Kennebec, lying near Belle dock, in which the steward of the vessel, John Shay, was pretty badly used up, and as a result of which Shay, Daniel Carr and Gunder Olsen, two of the crew, were ar rested and spent the balance of the early morning in the lookup.
 Several police officers were sent to inves- tigate the matter and on boarding the schooner found Shay with his head cut in several places, while the forecastle give every indication of bloody battle having been in progress there Shay accused Carr and Olsen of having assaulted him, and they in turn made counter charges against Shay. The trio were placed under arrest and locked up. When they arrived at headquarters Shay's head was in such a moned and bandaged it up. In the city court yesterday morning the three men were put on trial charged with being drunk and committing a general breach of the peace. Shay testified that he had been cut in the head by Olsen with knife in the course of the row, while the other two men swore that the steward was crazy drunk and had thrown crockery and glassware at them, and that the wounds, which he had received, were made by them in se1f-defense. They stoutly de- nied having assaulted him with knife which was taken from Olsen and which he identified as his property failed, under a microscopic investigation, to reveal any traces of blood.
 The officers who made the arrests and the captain and mate of the schooner all testified that the floor of the forecastle was literally filtered up with pieces of broken crockery and glassware. The captain was unmeasured in his denunciation of the whole affair and in court characterized it as mutiny of the most fragrant type.
 After a hearing lasting over an hour Judge Pickett inflicted fines of $5 and costs on Shay and Olsen and sent Carr to jail for fifteen days.
