ACCIDENT AND INCIDENT.


How a Shore Line Express Was Saved
From Wreck.
A wonderful prevention of railroad
wreck was that experienced by the $40
p. m. express for Boaton near Milford
Sunday evening. Brakeman Dougherty
discovered broken air brake tube be-
tween the fourth and fifth cars, while
the express was making forty miles an
hour, and stopped the train at once.
While the tube was being examined,
the engineer and fireman walked down
the line. They found a large tree lying
across the track 200 yards ahead, and a
terrible accident was averted.
James Leavitt of Birmingham was
caught by shaft IN a shop there YES
terday morning. His life was saved bv
the presence of mind Of T. Buckley, who
caught hold of his legs and held him till
the belt was thrown off.
Peter Dunn, brakeman on the Con-
solldated road, broke his right leg By
jumping off freight train at Walling-
ford yesterday afternoon. He was
taken to New Haven and removed to
the hospital. -
Rose Ashley, a well known young
woman, walked down Trumbull street
to the foot bridge crossing the Park
river in Hartford yesterday afternoon.
When she reached the bridge, she DELHI
erately climbed up on the iron railing
and threw herself over. She struck on
her feet in shallow water and sank about
a foot in the mud. A. S. Ferguson was
passing, and he, with the assistance of
an employe of the Jewell Betting com
pany, succeeded in rescuing the young
woman from her unpleasant situation.
She was taken to the hospital.

WY he WIS WANTED.

In the course of a severe editorial based
upon the action of the Democratic state
convention IN New York the Denver
Republican of esterday says:
During his seven years tenure of the
Office of governor of New York, Mr.. Hill
took good care to see that he obtained
absolute control of the machinery Of his
party, and as a necessary consequence the
convention which met Yesterday wore the
badge Of regularity even though it did not
fairly represent the wishes of the Demo-
cratic voters Of Now York.
As to the latter part of the proposition
there is room for a very reasonable differ
ence of opinion. The sentiment OF the
members OF a party in a state is very
reasonably considered to be represented
by the acts and expressions of a majority
of the delegates which they themselves
elect. In this particular case the action
in favor of Hill was unanimously taken
and therefore the proof is all the more
convincing that the wishes of the vast
majority OF the people OF the state were
carried out to the letter.
But when the Republican cndeavors to
make a point against Senator Hill be-
cause after being at the head of the
Democratic party OF New York for seven
years he has got it thoroughly organized
aud in effective condition for political
work, it simply makes a ludicrous exhibi.
ton of the weakness of the ammunition
that is being employed against the New
York senator. If Hill wasn't capable o.
doing what he has done he would have
been re,egated to tho rear aud a compe
tent organizer sent to the front. An or
g~auizer was wanted and one was found il
Hill. Perhaps this is the reason the Re
publicans can never forgive him.

HE IS QUITE RIGHT.

AT the annual banquet of the Repub-
lican clubs of Michigan, held at Detroit
on Monday night. j.. Sloat Fassett, the
attractive young man who was defeated
by Governor Flower in the recent guher-
Material contest in New York, spoke on
the subjectof Municipal Reform" The
strongest ~antipa,hy of young Mr.. Fassett
is the Democratic party of New York
under the leadership of Hill. Fassett
hates that organization with a ladylike
yet sincere and penetrating hatred. In
the midst OF his sueech at Detroit one of
the audience interrupted HIM to ask about
the so called Democratic bolt in New
York.
According to the Associated Press
report of the banquet, Fassett declared
that he did not attach much significance
to it. at was the general idea that when
scoundrels fall out, honest men get their
dues; but he thought in this case II was
merely a growl over the division of the
spoils, and that the Republican party
would not profit much by it."
While the esteemed Mr.. Fassett is
neither a prophet nor the son Of a prophet
he now undoubtedly has a very clear in
sight into the practical workings Of politi
cal affairs in New York. He has no love
for the Democracy Of New Y ork with Hill
at the head of it, but since his own defeat
