The New York papers have on
several occasions, since the election,
alluded to the prominent part certain
leaders Of that State have taken in
the election of Mr.. Cleveland, while
on certain occasions Il word has been
dropped Of the counsel had with
Senator German. ! he Western pa
pcrs, however, are more readily to
acknowledge the valuable services
that Senator German, of Maryland,
has rendered the party in the late
campaign, than the Eastern papers,
and they do not hesitate to say that
the success Of the Democrats ticket
in certain States, was due in "a measure
to the confidence inspired by words
of Senator German. He is Il man
given to very few words, and when
he speaks he speaks with meaning
hence on the eve of the election
the newspaper reporters and men
who had great stakes at issue on the
election, would, on every occasion,
endeayor to get his views on the po-
ltical situation. lie was very eau
tious to whom he talked, and very
careful what he said, and every
word he uttered was weighed He
never visited Baltimore and Wash
ington, that he was not sought af-
ter by newspaper men and his words
were quoted by all the press.
eff German says SO, its So" was
common by word with every Dem
ocrat, so great was the confidence
that the people had in him. No
man has ever won the confidence
and esteem of the people to such an
extent as Senator German. The
Democratic party have come to look
upon him as their second Moses.
Not week before the late election
when he visited Washington, he was
interviewed by a star reporter, to
whom he remarked that he had
come home to vote, aud that he
could say to the people that Mr..
Cleyeland's election Was assured:
that he would return to New York
on the day of election, and remain
there until Mr., Clcyeland'S election
was announced. This SO inspired
the confidence of the people that
Cleveland stock in the cities imme-
diately went without bidders.
Mr.. German did return to New
York ON the day of election, and the
country knows the result.
Senator German in the recent
campaign has made for himself a
record that cannot be obliterated
from the political history of this
country, and his name will go down
to posterity as one of the greatest of
political leaders i'm State and nation
of his day and generation.
For these and many other bless
ings the Democratic party have
cause for giving thanks to morrow.

Once again has the New England rail- road been visited by frightful accident, the details of which were sickening to read. A road which so flagrantly desc crates the Sabbath day is open for cen sure. But especially barbarous is the way this road works it's men. It's not strange that 1t has almost daily smash ups. The long hours, which many of the men admit that they fare obliged to put in, units them for duty. The offic- ials of this Goddess, mismanaged road should be indicted. They deserve pun lshment far more than the poor unfortu- mates, said to be responsible for the Southbury tragedy.

THE NEW ENGLAND COLLISION

THE NEW ENGLAND COLL1SloNs
 One of the worst collisions which has occurred in this vicinity since the open ing of the New England railroad, occur red about s o'clock on Satusday morn ing, in which Michael Casey, fireman of engine No. 152, and William Beebe, ,en- gineer of local freight, No. S3, lost their lives and three other men were more or less injured. No. 155 left Sandy Hook with orders to stop at Pomperaug Val ley, but disregarded these orders and at- tempted to reach Southford. On the heavy up grade at the second mile post from this station, they met No. S3 com- ing on the down grade at full speed. The engineer had only time to whistle down brakes and endeavor to reverse his en- zine, when the trains came together. The fireman of No. S3 saved himself by jumping, but the engineer was caught between the engine and tender. AL though he lived an hour aud a half, it was impossible to eXtricate him, al though every effert was made by those who soon arrived. His suffering was such, that he implored the bystanders to take his life. Dr Cooley, who soon ar rived, administered anesthetics. He said he could have saved himself if he had not stopped to reverse his engine. The engineer and conductor on No. 155 jump ed and took to the woods, leaving the fireman to his fate. When the wrecking train arrived the engines were drawn apart and the bodies removed. Dr Coo ley, as coroner, viewed the remains, af- ter which they were taken in charge by Undertaken Linsley. On Sunday even. ing, Mir Beebe's body was sent to Fish kill. MT Casey's remained at the station as it was not known where his friends were living. MI Beebe's father and brother arrived on the afternoon train, at the scene of the accident. Mir Beebe was about 30 years of age and leaves wife and three children. The engines were completely wrecked, the boilers be- ing telescoped together and the two tend CTS being thrown on the top of the next cars. Several cars were entirely demol- ished, two being loaded with castings for Chicago. Some were filled with a a smiscellaneous assortment of cotton cloth, clocks, door bells, oil cans, barbed wire, silver plated ware, flour, tea, etc. The track was cleared about dark. Hun dreds of people visited the scene of dis aster on Saturday and Sunday. The conductor and engineer, who skipped out, have since given themselves up to the authorities.
 On Sunday, Rev Mir Linsley of Wood bury, preached an able sermon and ad- ministered the rite of baptism to the five sons of MT and Mrs Peter Divine.
 Nelson Hickok is on the sick list. Dr Cooley attends.
 Operator Wilbur Ells was in town on Sunday.

MORE RAILROAD TALK.
 The new time table system discom- modes the people on the line, who work in Bridgeport. There has been train that would get them at their work at a. m., for many years. It has encour- aged people to locate along the line and get themselves homes. Why is it we can't have the same accommodation now. Are the working class of less importance now than in the past? Haven't the.same ones paid the company hundreds of dol lars? We were looking for better ac- commodations from the new manage ment, but this don't look much like it. We hope they will see where they have made mistake and put the morning train back so as Jo accommodate the commuters, and get them to their work on time.
