B KILLED AT THE DEPOT.
A New Britain Man Nearly Cut in Two
 by tho S:2O P. m. Train.

A New BritaiR Man Nearly Cut in Two
 by tho s:2O P. m. Train.
 Among the happy crowd which attended the picnic of the Catholic Benevolent Le- zion of New Britain, which was held at Savin Rock yesterday, was Christopher Dahl of New Britain. The picnickers had returned from the Rock and were awaiting the starting time of their train at the Union depot, when the steamboat train, which leaves at S:20 p. m., arrived. MT. Dahl was little confused, and instead of taking the New Britain excursion train, which stood on the third track, he boarded the steam boat train on the second track. Just as the train started some of the excursionists noticed him and calling told him that he was on the wrong train. This was the last that was seen of him alive. Several peo- pie saw him jump, but no one saw him at the time he went under the train. The next that was known of him Officer Grant saw him lying across the track.
 This occurred at the extreme northern end of the depot platform. A stretcher was procured and the body was carried ed by Medical Examiner White. There was 8 very deep cut across the chest from which theEver and lungs protuded and the heart was torn completely out and lay on the ground where it was picked up still quiyering. The right arm was cut off at the shoulder as cleanly as if done with a knife. It is presumed that when Dahl jumped from the train his feet slipped on the wet platform, and be fell back under the car wheels. MT. Curtin of Cur tin, Nelligen & Co.,, the New Britain un- dertakers, happened to be at the depot at that time and after obtaining permit from Dr. White removed the body from New Britain on the 10:05 train. A young adopted son of the deceased was on the excursion train and was among the first who saw the body of his sfather. His grief was indeed very touching when he learned who it was that had been killed. The de- ceased was born in Norway and was forty seven years of age. He had the reputa- ton of hard working, sober and intelli- gent man. Among his fellow members of the Catholic Benevolent legion, to which he belonged, and also among his fellow workmen in the lock shop, where he was employed, he was very popular.
 He carried an insurance of $3, GOO in this society. He leaves wife and his adopted son.

A Youthful Victim of a Toy Cannon
 Accident on the Fourth.
 BRIDGEPORT, July 7.-sAnother victim of the Fourth of July toy cannon is Percy Da- wis, the eight year-old son of MT. and Mrs. Francis H. Davis of Mo- 186 Howard ave- nue. Young Davis was injured in the same manner as was the little Tarbell boy, whose sad mishap was reported yesterday, the entire charge of powder exploding through the small orifce in the top of the cannon directly into his face when he was leaning over it. Both eyes are in a terri bly, infamed condition, and the lad has not been able to see since the accident. Dr. Wilson, who is attending him, thinks it will be impossible to save either of the in- jured eyes. MT. Davis is employed as fore man at the Bridgeport Forge company.

The petition was referred to the town agent with power to select time and place for the voting.
 MT, Fleischner reported that $444 had been received from the sale of horses of the town.
 The clerk announced that several bids for coal had been received MT. Forbes wanted to give some other dealers an op- portunity to bid. The matter was laid over to future meeting.
 Mayor Sargent and the following com mittee appeared before the board: Alder men Maley and Prince and Councilman Litterest. The mayor, who acted as spokes- man. stated that the officials of the fire de- pertinent desired to remove their office and electrical apparatus from the presentrooms in the upper story of the city hall to the room formerly used for the city court, on the lower floor of the city hall.
 The mayor stated that the officials of the department could get to fires in less time from the lower room. Another reason for the change was less liability to damage from fire which may be caused by electric wires. His honor reminded the board that the city was 95 per cent of the town, consequently the change would be benefc- ial to the interests represented by the board who represents the town.
 Mr. Strong suggested that the city pay 95 per cent. of the bills. Mr. Forbes moved that the proposition be accepted.
 Major Strong suggested that the matter be further investigated before the vote was taken.
 MT. Fleischner called for the vote, which was taken and resulted Tn unanimous vote in favor of accepting the proposition. By the change the city fire department will use the room referred to, and portion of the basement, while the board are counting on the use of the large front | room now used by the fire department. The city is to pay the expense of the l transfer. Alderman Maley thanked the board for their action.
