SpringvilIe side track and was supposed to be all right The joint, however
 vas not tight and the track was slightly sprung. The locomotive ran along for Snme distance after leaving the rails and narrowly escaped plunGing down a high emhankment. Nobody was injured, but he locomotive was badly damaged. and .raffic on the road was blocked till mid night. 4 wrecking train was sent there from Hartford.
 If the Washington express from B0s ton, which is due to pass East Hartford station at 1n:07 p, m. had been on time Tuesday night. serious accident must have happened. as a switch, winch turned the wrong way. As it was. the rain had a close call Night Operator Covle left his desk for a minute and vent down stairs and noticed the switch was not correct. He looked at his watch and found it was 10:05, just two min. utes before the express was due The express train does not stop in East Hart ford and runs usually at the rate of thirty miles an hour through the town As the switch was locked and the opera tor did not have a switch key, nothing could be done but run up the track and signal the train. MT Coyle called assist 4nce, and after some delay lantern wa found and the train signalled a short distance before reaching the locked switch. As luck would have it, the train was nearly twenty minutes late, so the accident was averted, but it was a narrow escape.

The Talk of AlI AmerIca.

Powell, the magician, makes his first appearance here on Thursday evening, September :. Although it is scarcely a year ago that he made his bow to an American audience, fresh from a three years tour throughout South America, yet his fame as the best of all the great magicians has preceded him, and his hit in New York and other metropolitan ,ities was an instantaneous one, Recog- nizinG no equal in his line and with a programme entirely new, novel and mystifyinE. and backed by unlimited capital, he has boldly thrown down the gauntlet for supremacy, which appar- entity has been most successful, as his tour has thus far been an unusually sue cessful cne. He invites criticism, deiies comparison, and the public go in crowds 70 see what is really one of the most en tartaining, wonderful, and refined per tormauceS ever seen in America.

 It took about all the afternoon to load | on truck carried for the purpose the fake locomotive used by Madame and Augustin Neuville in The Power of Woman" company. They also carried large amount of new scenery for the play, but as most of it was in IS foot sets, it could not be used in the house, to the regret of quite a large audience, who waited patiently from the rise of the play at 1915. The side rod of the | locomotive fell off in the last act caus- | ing a detention of ten minutes. It evl- dently being first night things did not run smoothly. Madame Neuville and her son were both very good as were two negro characters. The others were very weak. The play will stand much prun- ing.
