ACCIDENT AND INCIDENT.

A Bad Wreck on the Boston 4
Albany Delays Consolidated Trains.
A delay of three hours in both the
southbound "owl' and Adams Express
trains yesterday morning was caused by
a bad accident on the Boston Il Albany
road near South Spencer, Mass, a town
fourteen miles this side of Worcester.
A freight train on the road Saturday
night broke into three sections, and near
this point the last section slipped back
wards down grade and collided with a
train that was following. Fifteen cars
were smashed in the wreck, a part of
which caught fire destroying a car load
ed with live hogs. Although the line is
double tracked, trains were unable, es-
pecially on account of the flames, to
pass the wreck.
Annie, the wife of Tilley Petrie, of
Norwalk, cut her throat from ear to ear
Saturday afternoon while drunk, and
now lies in precarious condition, but
may recover.
Mrs Ann Stapleton of Hartford will be
taken from the town house to the in
sane retreat at Middletown to-day. Her
story is sad one. A short time ago
she was a happy wife and mother of
two children. Now she is a widow, one
of her children is dead and she is insane.
Some time ago her husband died, leav-
ing her very poorly off. For a while
she struggled on. At length her
children were taken ill with diphtheria
They were removed to the hospital, but
she would not leave them and sat
watching by their cots night and day.
At last one of them, a little girl, died.
Then the mother succumbed and she was
carried to the town house insane. AS
she has grown no better she is to be
taken to Middletown, where it is hoped
that under the treatment at the hoSpi-
tai there she will recover.
After having been up three nights
nursing, Miss Hattie Hale went to bed
at 8 O'clock Saturday morning. She
left lamp burning at her bedside and
in her sleep must have upset it for
about o'clock smoke was smelled and
on an investigation being made she was
found unconscious and surrounded bv
burning bedding. She was but slightly
scorched.
Saturday Miss Mamie Thompson of
East Haddam jumped from a sleigh
With which the horse was running
away and struck her head against a
stone. She was picked up in an uncon-
scious condition and is not expected to
live.
Assistant Adjutaut General George
NJ. White had the misfortune yesterday
morning to slip and fail on the ice at his
residence in New Haven, and break one
of his ribs. A doctor was soon in at
tendance and made the patient as COM
Portable as possible. Colonel White was
suffering from severe cold Saturday,
which during the night had troubled
him considerably, but felt little better
in the morning and had but just stepped
out upon his stoop when he slipped and
fell, the stoop being ice coated. The ac-
cident will contine the colonel to his
house for some time.

FANNIE IN IRELAND.
An Appeal For Aid Sent to the Peopl
of Waterbury.

An Appeal For Aid Sent to the People
of Waterbury.
A pitiful letter from Bishop Lyster, of
the famine stricken county of Mayo,
ireland, was read at all the masses at
the church of the Immaculate Concep-
ton yesterday. The bishop recalls the
liberality of the people of Waterbury
ten years ago, when an appeal was sent
from famine stricken Ireland, and asks
that a helping hand be stretched out In
this their hour of need. The promises
of relief made by the British govern
ment have not been half kept. A meet
ing of the Catholics of the city will be
held in st Patrick's hall Wednesday
evening to discuss the matter. The fol-
lowing is the letter received by Father
Mulcahy from Bishop Lyster:
BALLYBRADEREEN, County Mayo,
January 6, 1891.
My Dear Rev Father:
When distress was amongst our peo'
pie in that year of saddest memories,
1880, the good citizens of Waterbury
and Father Walsh. who, suppose, was
your predecessor, sent them in their suf-
ferings very substantial assistance.
This act of kindness has not been for
gotten; the poor peasants remember
with gratitude such generous and time
ly aid.
Distress is amongst us once more.
The heavy and incessant rains of
autumn rendered the crops a failure.
The last potato ST these saved from de
struction is now gone, and here at the
opening of the new year we are face to
face with famine.
This is an emergency which cannot be
realized by the citizens of your flourish
ing country. We have double diff,
Guilty to contend with, to provide seed
for the sowing in spring, and to keep
the people alive until the harvest comes.
Here in those impoverished bog lands of
Mayo, we are without mines or manu-.
features, work or employment of Il pub.
lie kind, with no outlook for an afflicted
flock, save the gloomy prospects OF
famine and desolation, unless the hearts
of the kindly are moved to pity us in
this distress.
1t is sad necessity which prompts me
to send you these few lines in the form
of an appeal. But, my dear Father, the
generous and practical ex preston of rea
sympathy manifested by your flock Of
Waterbury ten years ago. urges me tt
ask them help to save my furnishing
people am. my deal Reverend Father
Yours Sincerely,
JOHN LYSTER, D. D.,
Bishop of Achonry.

srAUB's ELECTION CONCEDED.

Lnbors of the House Investigating
Committee Finished VIII the
senate Adjourn Until Octabers
HARTFORD, Jan 26.-The house in
vestigating committee held an execu-
tive session here this afternoon and COM
pleted its report upon the canvass of
state officers. The report of the COM
mittee, which will be submitted to the
house to- morrow afternoon, will be sub
stantially as follows:
The committee find from an investi-
CATION of tine face OF the returns aud
such evidence as has been offered, that
Nicholas Staub has received a majority
over all of the votes cast for comp
troller, at the late election and is there
fore elected by the people. That no
other candidate has received such ma
iority, and there has been no election of
governor, lieutenant governor, secretary
of state and treasurer. The committee
has found such gross inaccuracies ON the
face of the returns that it is impossible
to determine from them any fair conclu-
sion about the vote for the latter
officers.
They therefore rec )mmend the pas
9 lge of a resolution similar in nature to
that of Mr. Hotchkiss, which in effect
will virtually open the ballot boxes. The
committee will also recommend the de-
claration by the house of the election of
Mr. Staub as comptroller.
A large number of democratic politi-
clans met here to-day to determine upon
the future policy. Several of them are
in favor of adjourning the senate until
October, the effect being to cut Off the
appropriations and starve out the repuh-
licans holding office.

MUNICIPAL OWNERSHIP.
Mayor Sargent OF New Haven Again
Airs His Views.

Mayor Sargent OF New Haven Again
Airs His Views.
Mayor Sargent of New Haven de-
livered an address before the trades
councils yesterday afternoon on the sub
ject of municipal Ownership" The
address was in the main part a discus
sion of the pr opposed control by the city
of the street railways, gas, water and
light supply. The mayor strongly ad-
vooated this movement, and gave de-
tailed review of water and light supply
of the principal cities of the country.
Interested people, he said, spoke of
vested rights, but there are no vested
rights too sacred to be touched if the in
terests of the people demanded it.
Officers of municipalities are often
elected by monopolies. The remedy
would be to remove the cause by pur-
chasing such concerns as furnish the
water, gas, light and local transporta-
ton. This would be an easy matter if
properly carried out. A monopoly we'll
conducted, however. is preferable to
civil warlbetween rival concerns.

George Wilson's celebrated minstrels
will be seen at the opera house Wednes-

company: George Wilson stands of yore,
of all end men, the first in the ELECTION
of the people. His tricks of speech and
gesture, his own inimitable laugh and
stutter, and has unrivalled oratory seem
to have lost none of their power to
throw an audience into uproars. Lew
Benedict, of a very different order but
nearly approaching Wilson in popularity
is burnt cork comedian of the highest
talent. and won unstinted praise. The
two, the chiefs, were admirably support
