Conductor Brewer Suffers tho Loss of
 His Left Leg.
 A sad accident occurred on the New England road at Hawleyville this morn- ing, in which Conductor William Brewer of Hopewell, was seriously in- jured.

While making up his train at that place the conductor stepped between two cars to pull a coupling pin, when he slipped and fell, the cars passing over his left leg, cut ting it off at the knee. The tops of the fingers on his right hand were also cut of. He was taken to Danbury. Con- ductor Brewer was employed for many years as rear brakeman on Conductor Morris passenger train, aud only re gently was promoted to be a freight conductor. He is 2S years old and lives with his parents at Hopewell.

BUSINESS ECONOMY.
What Superintendent Barton Says of
 the New England Road "Cut."

what Supor1nGen0ent Barton says or
 the New England Road "Cut."
 Mir Barton, the new superintendent of the New York 6 New England railroad, does not believe he can run his road through the newspapers, and is disin- clined to tell his plans in advance.
 He objects, however, to misrepre- sentation, and in a brief interview yesterday he explained to reporter his recent action, which has been pro- claimed as a severe reduction in work ingmen's wages, etc.
 He said he had not yet interfered with the wages of any of the tlaboring men" so called, and he docs not expect to. But, in looking over the field, he has found some things that needed correction, and he has corrected them.
 In places where he found more men in department than he thought neces- sary, he reduced the force. In the clerical department he found unneces- sary expense, and this has been stopped. In these two points he has effected 8 saving of some $4 ,500 per month with out impairing the efficiency of the force. This, he says, is business, and he is here for business. He feels sure that the road can be made to make a much better financial showing than hereto fore, and says money saved is just as good as money earned for the stock holders, whose servant and agent he is.

SPURIOUS SILVER DOLLARS.
A Description of the Counterfeit of tho
 New TRst10.

A Description of the Counterfeit of the
 New Issue.
 Another counterfeit of the new silver dollar has been discovered. The medallion on the obverse is well execu- ted, but the reverse shows on compari- son with a genuine coin, much coarse ness in the work. The coin is produced by mold, and the inferiority of the work is shown especially on the bead work around the milling, the scroll which bears the inscription ''E Furious Unum," the wings of the eagle and the ture is that the date, ''1892," is in thinner figures than the genuine coin, although otherwise the work on the counterfeit is coarser. The ring of the false coin is good, but there is greasy feeling to it and the color is slightly leaden,

is thetrue secret of that success?
Two words answer = energy and
health.
Any man Of Indomltable energy and
perseverance, who Ia we'll can succeed.
All, there is the rub who Is well.
Men havo the energy and ability to
succeed, but they do not possess the
requisite health--that strength OF the
nerves, vlgor of the mind and endur-
snce nndtirelessness which alone make
men succeed.
They feel languid, even weak at
times and lack snap and ambition;they
know they have the necessary ability,
but their energies need rousing. In
some cas"s the stomach, liver and
