ACCIDENT AND INCIDENT.
Joseph 'Bryau Instantly Killed by
 Freight Train at Winsted.

Joseph 'Bryau Instantly Killed by
 Freight Train at winsted.
 Joseph Bryan, aged 28, an employe of the New England Pin Co at Winsted, while lying intoxicated, on the track of the Reading road at midnight Saturday, and crushed to pieces. Four others who were with him, all intoxicated had mar row escapes.
 Bridgeport was found in the woods on the Birmingham road near that place yesterday afternoon. Near it were three packages of Paris green, opened, and two bottles, one containing whiskey. The coroner thinks Wolfe has been dead since last Thursday, when he was seen near the place where his body was found. It is undoubtedly a case of suicide.
 Coroner Park of Norwich yesterday afternoon went to Voluntown to view the body of a man found there Satur- day afternoon, who was supposed to have been murdered. The body was discovered by a farmer, who was searching the woods for stray cattle As he approached an old barn, deserted and far from any habitation, he per ceived horrible stench, and on investi- gating found the body of a man, terri ply decomposed, under the floor of the barn. It had evidently been there for months, and the flesh was falling from | the bones. The body was identified as | that of young man named Card, of Plaintield, who disappeared last Octo- l Der while insane.
 Henry B. Dayton, aged about 54 years, was probably fatally injured by an cleo tric car at Savin Rock shortly after 7 o'clock last evening. He was trying to board the car when he slipped and fell in front of it. The wheels ran over his arm, nearly severing the hand, and in- | jured him badly about the head. He was picked up unconscious. Dr Wilson amputated the hand. It is believed that his skull is fractured and the physicians , say that he cannot recover
 A Wonderful Feat.
 Two Americans in the employment of the government of British Columbia
 recently accomplished a feat hitherto
 deemed impossible by crossing the Sel-
 kirk mountains in the depth of winter. The object of the trip was to ascertain
 if it were possible to lay out pack
 and cattle trail over the range from | Golden to Kalso. The men travelled | one hundred and fifty miles on snow
 shoes, fifty miles over the widest
 mountain country, where glaciers
 abounded. They found a pass at an
 altitude of six thousand five hundred 1 feet that is practicable for cattle and pack trains in summer. The thermom- | eter was below zero during most of the
 trip. which occupied nearly a month.

U, S BONDS ABROAD

Estimated that SIS, ,OOO, 900 Worth are
 Owned in Foreign Countries.
 WASHINGTON, June 19.-In reply to in quiries as to the amount of United States bonds held abroad, acting Register of the Treasury Smith has prepared statement showing that when the census of 1880 was taken coupon bonds of the United States to the amount of $537, 900, GOO were estim- ated to be owned abroad.
 No effort was made to obtain similar estimates as to coupon bonds in the census of 1890, but from the cheques mailed from the Registers office, an approximate estim- ate is arrived at that the amount of United States registered bonds owned abroad is $1S,000,0O0.
 This includes both the bonds of holders who receive their interest direct from the Treasury Department, and bonds of for eign owners, who, for convenience, have their interest sent to their representative in this country.

In our two months stay in the

we struck the factories at the very
gloomiest time OF the great morey
panic. We got prices and bought
our goods after the bottom of the
prices were all knocked out. When
we got ready to snip these goods
we struck the lowest rate of freight
that has ever been offered to Texas.
In our buying fortune seemed to
favor us, and in our shipping the
same good fortune seemed to smile
upon us. We are therefore, a lie

The Next Boom.
HIGGINS ANSWERS A QUESTION.

HIGGINS ANSWERS a QUESTION.
"Rggins, what will be- the next
boom?" We have been asked this
question a great many times. Our
information jastihes the statement
that since the monied men of the
kast and all over the country are
disguised and tired of investing in
railroads, in large Northern
factories, in banks and in bonds,
because of the appropriateness and
instability of such investments, they
will now turn their attention to
agricultural lands, and We believe
that one of the direct results of the
money panic, will be to induce men
of mt ans to turn their attention to
farming lands. Already many of
the most sagacious business men of
Waco are investing their money
and hunting bargains in lands. The
lands in this country are priced at
nothing Ike their value. Sagacious
men are realizing this fact, and we
may look for boom in the price of
lands in the territory adjacent to
Waco. Nor will any of these men
forget to furnish their homes from
kitchen to parlor during our great
clearingout sale of Waco Trading
company?
Yours truly,
