NAUGATUCK TRAINS LATE.
A Wreck on the Main Line at Soul
 Norwalk the Cause.

A Wreck on the Main Line at South
 Norwalk the Cause.
 The II :12 train on the Naugatuck divi- sion did not arrive here to-day until l o'clock. The delay was caused by an ac- cident on the main line at South Norwalk.
 The locomotive of Conductor McIntire's freight train collided with the rear car of the South Norwalk special passenger train, which leaves South Norwalk at 6:55 a. m. for New York. The special had just pulled out of the freight yard and backing up to the station to take on passengers when the accident happened. The engi- neer and fireman of the freight locomotive jumped, as did the brakeman on the rear car of the passenger train. The engine and tender or the freight and the rear passenger car were thrown from the tracks. The passenger car was thrown partially down an embankment.
 The wreck completely blocked the track, but they were finally cleared about 10:3O by wrecking crews from New Haven and Bridgeport. The responsibility for the accident has not been placed. The engi- neer of the freight train claims that he was given the signal to go ahead by the towerman.

the charm of her manner cannot be
told; words are Inadequate to describe
them.
Taking her all in all, Antoinette De
Gex was the most fascinating young
woman had ever seen Before had
been in the room five minutes was
over head and ears in love with her. Il
was not the first time had fallen in love
at first sight But this time it was
serious had met my fate.
MY son speaks very highly of you,
Mr.. Roy" said Mime. de Gex, in a voice
broken with emotion, when she had
finished the letter. HE says that if You
had been his own brother you could not
have shown more loyalty and devotion
His mother thanks you-thanks You
with all her heart"
"And his sister, she too thanks you
with all her heart, Mr.. Roy" murmured
Antoinette, looking at me with her glo-
rious eyes bright with tears.
"He was a man of noble nature,
mademoiselle; he would have done as
much for me-"
81 am sure he would; he was the best
and kindest of brothers; and it cuts me
to the heart to think that it was for
our salxes that he risked and lost his life.
But we did not want him to go; did we,
mother?'
Indeed we did not, ma file cherie.
But he could not bear to see rs strait
ened, and so went to Gex to recover
that treasure you know of much against
my wish. You see, we have done with
out it, and shall, fear, have to do with
| out it to the end"
''No, madame said, '.you will not
have to do without it to the end. have
made up my mind to recover that trea-
sure for you, and I shall"
"For heavens sake, Mr.. Roy, don't
think of anything SO reckless and i'm
possible. Surely one victim is enough
It would be folly, madness. Besides,
how could you, an officer Of the British
navy, go to France?"
''You need be under no apprehension,
madame. l mean to succeed; therefore
shall do nothing reckless. And be-
ing, as you observe, an officer in the
British navy, shall have to defer the
attempt until the conclusion of the war.
And that cannot be long. The French
are losing all their conquests- Nelson
has destroyed their feet, the tricolor
has been wellnigh swept from the seas,
and Bonaparte, the only man who
could save the republic. is in Egypt,
without the means of getting away. A
few more reverses, and the directory
must fall, and then the king will have
his own again"
81 an, glad to see you are royalist,
Mr.. Roy" said Antoinette, smiling ap-
prevail
''How could a man of my name be
aught else, Inademoiselje? The Roys
have been royalists for ages; and my
experience in France has not predisposed
me in favor of republics"
This allusion led the conversation to
Henri De Gex, and had to tell and re-
tell all that had befallen him and me
during our too brief intercourse; for,
though his mother and sister had, as
surmised, heard of his death and that an
English fcllov-prisoner had made a
strenuous effort to save his life, they
had still much to learn.
And. being quite willing to stay as
long as l might, l answered all these
questions con amorc, and. when they
had no more to ask, gave al account,
