RAILROAD MATTERS.

The New England Company Will Vacate
the Union Depot at Hartford.
General Manager Mellen Of the New
England says that notice has been given
by the Consolidated road disseminating
the New England's use of the Hartford
passenger station on the present terms.
The notice does not go into effect until
about June next. The New England
road intends before that time to have it's
own station. 1t owns the land on the
west side.
President Clark of the Consolidated
road, before starting for Europe, or.
dered the laying of two extra tracks be-
tween New Haven and Milford and the
entire tracking of the entire Har
lem branch. A new freight depot al
New Haven is also to be built, if certain
conditions are to be acceded to. 1t has
also been decided to change the entrance
of the Shore Line into New Haven. The
track will turn toward the north about
mile west of East Haven and going
around behind Fair Haven will come
out upon the line of the Hartford divi
sion near where the Air Line enters
This will get rid Of several grade cross
ings and of the skittish bridge an(
sharp curves in Fair Haven, and though
it adds a mile or two to the run will
save time in the end.
Robert Dunbar, one of the men wit
| stole the locomotive one night recent,
| from the New England road at New
Britain, was arrested in New Haven las
| week and brought to New Britain
where he was tried before Judge Cham
berlain in the police court Saturday
and bound over to the next term of tn
superior court under $500 bonds.

HOW HE RODE.
A Witness Whose Evidence Was Entirely
Literal.

A Witness Whose Evidence Was Entirely
Literal.
The character of The old Illinois
courts in which Abraham Lincoln prac-
ticed, was very primitive, says writers
in the Century. In one case a livery
stable horse had died soon after being
returned, and the person who had hired
it was sued for damages. The question
turned largely upon the reputation Of
the defendant as a hard rider, A wit.
ness was called-a long, lank west-
erner.
''How does Mr.. So-and-so usually
rider" asked the lawyer.
Without CLEAN of intelligence, the
witness replied:
"A-straddle, sir"
mo, no." said the lawyer; 81 mean;
does he usually walk, or trot, or gal4
lopP"
"Wal," said the witness, apparently
searching in the depths Of his memory
for facts, "when he rides wal1in' horse
he walks, when he rides a trottin' horse
he trots, and when he rides a gallopin
horse he gallops, when"
The lawyer was angry. 81 want to
know what gait the defendant usually
takes, fast or slow"
"Wal," said the witness, when his
company rides fast he rides fast, anG
when his company rides slow he rides
| slow"
II want to know, sir" the lawyer
said, very much exasperated, and very
stern now, show Mr.. So-and-so ride.
| when he Is alone"
"Wal," said the witness, more slowly
and meditatively than ever, "when HI
was alone I want along, and I dom
| know"
The laugh at the questioner ended tn
| ~ross-examination.

GROWING DESPERATE.


HOMESTEAD, July 11.-Everything is
quiet here this morning, but the strikers
are still preparing for desperate strug-
gle, and are anxiously awaiting the ar
rival of the militia. 1t is the general
opinion that they will resist the troops
and it is feared that bloody conflict
will occur.
The strikers became frantic with rage
when the announcement was received
that the state troops had been called out.
The newspaper men and all strangers
were ordered out of the town when it
was discovered that officers of the Ma
tional Guard had been in town for
several days in the guise of reporters
planning an attack. The reporters are
not allowed to telegraph to their papers.
A few private bulletins have been sent
to the Pittsburg papers, 1t is feared that
the newspaper men will be foully dealt
with.
It is announced that the troops will
leave Pittsburg for Homestead this
afternoon. They will carry ammuni-
ton sufficient for a desperate encounter,
with gatling guns and twelve pound
cannon.

A Twelve Year Old Boy Killed by tn

a Twelve Year Old Boy Killed by the
Cars at WiIlimantic.
a twelve years old son of Marcel
Labarre attempted to board moving
freight train on the New London
Northern railroad at Willimantic, about
o'clock Saturday afternoon, and fail
ing to obtain a secure footing, fell be-
tween the cars. The wheels passed
over him, cutting his right leg off at the
hip and his left at the knee. The case
was SO hopeless that no attempt al
amputation was made, and the boy died
yesterday.
o. T. Mather of Hartford had a singu.
lar accident happen to his team day OF
two ago. He had hitched his horses tc
a tree while the men were making ready
load of hay in the vicinity. In the
course of their efforts to beat off the
flies the horses became tangled up ir
the harness and were thrown down
One of them was choked to death, while
the other barely escaped by the timely
arrival of the workmen.

STRUCK BY A FREIGHT TRAIN.

Latest Victim.

Section Master Patrick H+frin the
Latest Victim.
Patrick Heffrin, who was a week ago
made section foreman on the New Eng
CLAN road at Terryville, was struck by a
freight train at Wheatons, about 8
o'clock Sunday morning. Up to the
time of his promotion he worked on the
Waterbury section and boarded at 76
Mattatuck street, and Saturday night
he came down to his former boarding
house for some clothes. Shortly after
midnight he started to walk home.
When he arrived at Wheatons a train
was coming down the siding on which
he was walking, and in getting out of
its way he stepped on the main track
and was struck by west bound freight.
He was brought to this city and re-
moved to the hospital. The back of his
hand was badly gashed, the left foot al
most cut off and the toes of the right
one crushed.
Heffrin was resting comfortably al
the hospital to-day. He had recovered
somewhat from the shock and partook
of some light nourishment. The physi
clans will amputate his foot tomorrow.

RAvAcHoL GUILLoTINED.
The French Anarchist and Murderer De-
flAnt to the Last


flant to tho Last
PARIS, July ia swiftly working
and sure guillotine at Mont prison cut
short the earthly career of Ravachol the
noted and feared anarchist this morn
ing. The fact of the execution was kept
a secret until some time after it had oc-
CURED. Ravachol was awakened short
ly after 3 o'clock. He knew what the
summons meant and half an hour later
was in readiness for the machine. There
was short delay but at o'clock he
was escorted to the prison yard where
the instrument of death had been erect
ed. He showed but slight emotion, with
his face bearing a defiant expression.
The guard quickly pinioned his arms.
He was then bourne upon the fatal plat,
form and at 4:07 the signal was given
that freed the knife that severed the
head of the condemned man. Just be-
fore the knife fell he shouted, 81 want
paid to his words. His last cry was
'Vivc la republiQue."

say that the young man tho spiked the
cannon on the Fourth of July morning
is not sleeping well O. nights. Our
locals of last week gave him much to
reflect upon. How he can look an
American citizen in the face is more
than we can account for. Many think
the qualm of his own conscience is all

Charity and Love-" There were large

EXCITEMENT IN PHOENIX ALLEY


A Newspaper Man and Restaurant
Keeper Indulge In = Fight.
A contest in which fists played a
leading part occurred on Phoenix alley
shortly after 10 o'clock this morning.
The combatants were Harry Durant of
the Republican and 3. G. Place, propri-
etor Of the Hub dining rooms. Durant,
it seems, heard that Place had been
speaking in uncomplimentary terms of
him and called at the latter's place of
business for an explanation. An argu-
ment ensued, followed by blows. There
is some doubt as to who struck the first
blow, both receiving many scratches
about the face and neck. Durant's dog,
it is alleged, took part in the scrap, tear.
ing Places clothing in several places.
Place called on Prosecuting Attorney
Kellogg and lodged a complaint fol
assault against Durant. A reporter
saw Mr. Place after the affair, but hi
refused to talk for publication. Re
porter Durant was more communica
tive and related his side of the story
saying that he called on Mr. Place to ash
him about what he said, that Place ad
mitted that he did make uncompli
mentary remarks and also pushed hin
off the steps. He denied having set tn
dog upon Place, but admitted that som
blows were struck,

After Thirty Years.

Between twenty-nine and thirty years
ago a person made a deposit in the
Ansonia bank and until Friday there
had been no additional deposit made or
any money drawn from the original de-
post. In fact the person, as far as
known, had never made any inquiries
about it. On Friday the depositor
called and received the money, the
amount being almost five times the
money originally deposited. 1t was the
oldest deposit in the bank.
