THE CARS ESCAPE

But the Engine plunges into the River.
 On Tuesday morning the passenger train on the Housatonic road leaving Bridgeport at 7.05 o'clock had narrow escape from fearful wreck about one and one half miles north of West Corn wall, at a point known as Gibbs cross- ing. Tue train left West Cornwall on time (9.13) and was running at it's usual speed when the accident occurred. About 15O feet south of Gibbs crossing the fange of the front wheel on the left side of the forward truck of the locomo- tive broke. Here the track makes a sharp curve to the right for over 400 feet and then curve to the left. The Housatonic river runs parellel with the track and on the left curve the river comes within 20 feet of the track which is about 15 feet above the water. The marks on the rails and ties show that the broken wheel kept on the iron about the left upon the ties and "chawed them up" for distance of 45O feet until the curve to the left caused the wheels to drop from the end of the ties and then the locomotive plunged down the bank into the river and turned nearly bottom side up and lay parallel with the track while the tender turned on it's left side and lay at right angle to the track, the front end resting in the water and the rear end upon the bank while the cab was crushed, and the bell, the done and the smoke stack of the engine were submerged. When the engine plunged down the bank, the coupling broke be- tween the tender and the baggage car, otherwise the three cars comprising the train would have been overturned and followed locomotive No 10 into the river but it cannot be said the cars remained on the track inasmuch as every wheel of tue train except the rear trucks on the rear car had left the rails and had bumped along on the ties and hal gwen the passengers vigorous shaking up as we'll as first class scare yet none re- ceived injuries.
 Minot Lyman was the engineer, and when the forward truck of the locomo- tive jumped the track he promptly ap- piled the air brakes and reversed the engine, but he was thrown out of the cab when the engine plunged down the bank. He escaped without broken bones although he tell upon stone which bruised his face quite badly. John Lamont was the fireman and he went down into the river with the en- zine and was nearly buried beneath the coal which fell from the tender. He escaped without serious injury yet he was considerably bruised and scratched up. It was remarkable spectacle to see the engine lying on it's back in the water and the driving wheels revolving in the air. This proved that the engine had been reversed before it plunged down the bank.
 A wrecking train was sent from Falls Village to the scene of the. accident and in less than four hours the cars were upon the rails again and the track in order SO that trains could pass.
 In their journey upon the ties the de- vailed engine and cars passed (at nearly full speed) over two cattle guards and one highway crossing. It is easy to imagine what the result would have been had the wheels dropped off the end of the ties into the cattle guards.

ton there was not even prctcnsc of oppo.
silion. 1t is not often that nominations ar e
carried offby main strength as was this enc :
we do not believe there was even q pretense
of Il dicker or bargain on the part of Mr.
Brown. He spoke out openly, saying that
he wanted the nomination, on the occasion
of the gathering of the newspaper men, and
as they prefer to have men ask for what
they want and not place themselves in the
hands OF their party" the boys seem to have
been able to give an earnest of their admir-

for in our Judgment the newspapers are
not wholly DEVOID of credit for the ease with
which "Farmer' Brown was nominated.
