Inisrmnrriare in Eurns,s.

There is no remote chance OF Eurasia
ever being reabsorbed by either Of its
original elements; the prejudices Of both
Europeans and natives are far too vigor-
ous to permit of much intermarriage
with people who are neither one
nor the other. Occasionally an mp
country planter, predestined to remote
and "jungly" existence, comes down to
Calcutta and draws his bride from the
upper circles of Eurasia-this not SO
often now as formerly. Occasionally,
too, young shopman with the red OF
Scotland fresh in his cheeks is carried
off by his landlady's daughter, while
Tommy Atkins falls q comparatively
easy prey.
The sight of a native with half caste
wife is much rarer, for there Eurasian
as well as native antipathy comes into
operation. The whole conscious in.
clination of Eurasian life, in habits,
taste, religion and most of all in ambi-
ton, is toward the European and away
from the native standards. ].

Bad ColIisiOn on the New England Road
 To-Day = Baggage Master Parkinton
 Sustains a Broken Leg.
 One of the worst wrecks that the New England road has had for long time occurred early this morning between Bristol and Forestville and as a result one man is suffering from broken leg, several persons received less serious in- juries, while the damage to rolling stock is great.
 The commuters' train for Hartford and way stations, leaving Bristol at 5:55, was off on time this morning in charge of Conductor Hull and Engineer Behee. Just after passing the rock cut in East Bristol a west bound freight train was seen approaching at twenty mile an hour clip. There is long, low stretch of track at this point or without doubt the loss of life would have been great, for the trains came together head on with terrific crash. The engineers and firemen jumped and escaped with a few bruises. Baggagemaster Parkin- ton was hurled with great force across the car and sustained broken leg. The passengers were shaken up and badly frightened and a few received slight injuries. The injured were cared for in the houses near by.
 The freight train was No 211, and was loaded with shoes and bottled goods. Four cars were reduced to kindling wood and the contents strewn around the ground. The crowd that gathered drank to the prosperity of the road. Both engines were twisted and torn out of semblance. !.
 A wrecking train was sent out from East Hartford and it was noon before the tracks were cleared. The o'clock train from Hartford reached here two hours late, passengers being transferred around the wreck. The 7:30 and 905 trains for Hartford left Waterbury on time.
 The officials at the New England station were very reticent in regard to the wreck; it was learned, however, that Conductor Simmons and Engineer Bell
 man of the freight train, who have fled are responsible. They had orders tc
 hold 8 siding until the passenger train passed, at Forestville. The United States express, which was late, left Bristol few minutes before the com muters' train and after the express had passed Forestville the freight started ! for Bristol. Engineer Bebee's leg wal injured and Fireman Flower was cu
 around the head. The baggage car wal
 thrown completely over the tender onto the cab.

GENERAL ASSEMBLY,.

Senator Jones and Colonel Gowry Find
 That Chamberlain Is a Model War
 den.
 HARTFORD, June 22.-Senator Jones of the special state prison committee presented a report to-day signed by himself and Colonel Mowry, the other republican member, in regard to the charges against Warden Chamberlain. They find that after careful investiga- ticn the charges have not been sus- tained, and were inspired by the belief on the part of their promoters that they would inure to their benefit. The evidence is conclusive that no prisoner who obeyed the rules had reason to complain of the treatment of Warden Chamberlain. The warden acted as any prudent and just man would. The report concluded by urg- ing that the warden be immediately re- stored to his office. The report was tabled.
 The Hammersley corrupt proctices bill was passed after long discussion, with an amendment that strikes out the money features of the bill. The vote was unanimous,

ANOTHER AT BERLIN.
Wreck on the Consolidated Road a
 O'Clock This Morning.

O'Clock This Morning.
 BERLIN, June 22.-A rear end col islon occurred shortly before 4 o'clock this morning at a point about a quarter of mile below this station on the Con- solidated road. An extra freight in charge of Conductor James Murtha, had stopped to do some switching. The regular freight, known among train men as ''pier 50'' was bowling along at a good rate and was but short distance behind the extra. The morning was very foggy and it was with difficulty that the tracks immediately in front of the engine could be seen. Before any one on "pier 50' realiz d any thing of the presence of the extra in front a crash occurred The engine of the regular tore into the caboose of the extra, totally demolish. ing it and twelve cars were dragged from the tracks, four of them being torn to pieces. The engine of the regular freight was also badly damaged as far as the bell, the trucks, wheels, boiler and smoke stack being twisted out of shape. The extra freight was loaded with hay and grain and this was scat tered all along the tracks. A brakeman, whose name could not be learned, was injured so badly that his legs will have to be amputated. Superintendent Davidson. with gang of eighty men at once began the work of clearing the tracks, and by 10 o'clock both tracks | were clear and trains running regularly
