A Sma.h.iJp at Norvv.lk.

SOUTH NoRwALK, May 26.-Shortly be- fore 3 o'clock this morning the Derby freight on the Housatonic railroad from Wilson's Point enroute to Danbury, made up of heavy six-driver mogul engine and twelve cars, crashed into a Consolidated freight train standing across the Housaton- ic tracks The cars of the latter train were tumbled in all directions, and four of them, filled with sewing machines and light machinery, were badly damaged One car containing trotting horses and their jockeys were thrown from the rails, but the occupants sustained no injury Two wrecking trains from Danbury cleared the tracks in 8 short time. No cause is given for the collision, but as it is neces- sary that that the Consolidated train should stand across the Housatonic tracks when they are discharging freight at its own depot, it is probable that proper dan ger signals were not set.

Safeguards.

We believe it will be generally agreed, even among the reputable private bankers, some of whom openly advertise that they will not do business on a margin, that they have nothing to fear from an official exam ination, even if they resent aninterference with the private affairs of their customers. The recent disastrous failure in New Ha- ven, as well as others that readily come to mind, show that safeguards should be placed about private banking concerns to protect those who, while enticed by the high rate of interest offered, are often in ignorance of the source from which the money comes.

 ton.
 The statement of the assets and liabili- ties of the late firm of Bunnell & Scranton was filed in the New Haven probate court late yesterday afternoon. A full copy of it is given below. The hearing takes place in the probate court this morning at 10 o'clock, when the nomination of E. G. Stoddard as trustee will no doubt be con-
 irmed. Judge Robertson will in few
 days appoint the commissioners. The
 statement below affords no more accu-
 rate light than before as to how much the
 bank will pay on the dollar. Mr.Scranton's
 last estimate was 624 cents. How much
 the assets will pan out nobody knows with
 any degree of defniteness, nor how much
 they will dwindle away in the process of arises. Various of the less hopeful cred itors think they will be lucky if they get 30 per cent. As to the time it will take to settle up the case good judge of tho mat ter said yesterday afternoon that barring unavoidable adverse circumstances the es- tate could easily be settled inside of year. But it may take three years before any dividend is ready.
 To the Honorable Probate Court for the District of New Haven: The undersigned surviving partner of the | firm of Bunnen & Scranton, lately doing business in the town of New Haven, i'm solvents and assigning debtors, herewith 1 delivers to your court verified by his | oath list of the creditors of the said | firm with their places of residence and 1 the amounts severally due them, as near

 Az the two-thirds portion of the value of the Vernon street property, which will be taken to pay the $4,000 mortgage to Miss Mary E. Scranton, is not included in this list, it must also be subtracted from the liabilities to determine the indebted ness that will stand against the $5, 900 of actual remaining assets. That will leave $27, 7,553 of unsecured liabilities. Or, to take the complete amount of the assets, re- gardless of the mortgage, the value of the assets is $9, 900, against the liabilities of $31 ,553.
 The amount of the assets to which the creditors representing the unsecured $27,- 553 can look for. dividend, however, is only s5,0O0, from the figures used in the estimates.

 Yesterday Hon 0. A. La Rue Monson of Williamsport, Pa. (the founder of the Munsen prize), a leading lawyer of that state, began course of lectures on "The Beginnings of Practice,"
