Sad Accident in southington.

Sad Accident In SOuth1nRtOn.
 MT. David P. Ackart, an aged farmer living in the eastern part of Southington, met with peculiar and probably fatal &C., cident yesterday morning while saving wood with portable machine. Sometime during the forenoon heavy stick flew from the saw and struck him in the fore head. He managed to find his way to the house, but could not get in, as his son, who lives with him, had gone away and there was no one at home. The old gentleman was overcome by the loss of blood and fell unconscious at the doorway, where he was discovered late in the evening. He has since remained in a stupor and it is the opinion of the attending physician that hs will not rally.

The total of these urgent and unproyid- ed for liabilities was $461, ,767.96. More over, in August and September there were to fall due other notes of the company amounting to $57 ,481. .01, and rentals and interest on bonds and debt certificates amounting to $31, ,182.O3. The manage ment, therefore, was called to face total of more than $55O, ,OOO of indebtedness to be discharged before the end of the fiscal year. There was only $4 ,S91 35 of availa- ble cash in the treasury, the right of the company to make issues of stock or bonds had been exhausted, and the current earnings were insufficient to meet these liabilities.
 1t therefore was necessary forthwith to borrow large sum of money, and the company succeeded in obtaining from friendly sources loans to the amount of $500, O,0O0. By these loans the company was saved from defaulting any of it's ob- legations.
 The New England Terminal company was organized in December. 1888, for the purpose of operating line of boats for the transportation of freight and passen- gers between Wilson Point and New York city. Its capital stock was $20O, GOO, of which one half had bsen paid by the New York and New England railroad company. and the other half by this company and 1ts 1essor, the Danbury and NorWalk Rail road company. This company had be- come joint and several guarantor with the New York and New England Railroad company of the Terminal company's bonds. The operation of the line had en- tailed constant loss to it's owners. It's continuance would have been more and more disastrous to all concerned. Accord iagly, in July, 1892, this company and the New York and New England Railroad company, as stockholders of the Terminal company, jointly made application to the court to wind up it's affairs and for the appointment of 8 receiver. The applica- tion was granted and the terminal company is now in process of liquidation. When completed it is thought that the loss to this company caused by the creation and opsr- ation of the Wilson Point enterprise will be fully five hundred thousand dollars.
