WRECK ON THE SHORE LINE.
TRACKS BADLY BLOCKED ALL LAST
 NIGHT.

A Fast Freight From New York for Boston
 Eighteen Cars Piled Up-Others Rolled
 Over aBank-wrecking Trains Sent Out
 -RRils Torn Up.
 Waterford, Dec. 11.-A bad freight wreck occurred at 6:so o'clock this evening on the Shore Line road, half a mile west Of the depot. near the signal tower, which blocked the tracks all night. The train wrecked was fast freight from New York, bound for Boston, and in charge of Conductor Maloney and Engineer Skinner. While the train was passing through here at great speed, one of the trucks of the forward box cars broke and left the track. Eighteen cars left the track and were piled up in heap. Several more cars went over on their sides and rolled down a twenty foot embank- ment on the south side of the track. Nearly all the cars were smashed into kindling wood and the freight was scattered about. The engine and ca poooC oid HUI ftdNc tlc 1uG rails were torn up for a distance of 300 feet, and the overturned cars en- cumbered both tracks so that traffic was blocked over the road.
 Word was telegraphed to New Lon don and New Haven and two wrecking trains were sent out from both places to clear the track. The wrecking ap- paratus arrived at o'clock and the gang of men began work of clearing up the wreck. Many of the cars are sc badly smashed up that they cannot be repaired Several trains bound to the east were stalled on account of the accident. After o'clock the east bound Boston trains were sent around over the Air Line road from New Haven to Boston, and trains for the west were sent from New London to Willimantic and thence down to New Haven over the Air Line division. So far as is known none of the train hands were injured. It is probable that the wreck will not be cleaned up until morning.

A Pleasant Debt we Owe to Dr. Holmes
 Among the titles of Dr. Holmes to gratitude and enduring remembrance, which recall themselves to us so nu- merously and forcibly at the moment of his death. there is one which I hope no one will lose sight of. and which per- haps ought to be called his influence as civilizer. He not only showed us, it seems to me-and I am thinking of some of his more didactic poems, of the opening chapters of "Elsie Venner," of countless passages in the "Autocrat" and the "Professor''-whata a fine foun- dation we Americans have ito build ting directly multitude of readers to work toward ideals of. real and sincere culture (not the sham article) which have never in our literature been put into such sane and comprehensive form. I should like to see a muster, and am sure 1t would be large one of the men now in middle age whose mental tone has been, consciously or unconsciously, considerably influenced by the kindly castigation, until they seemed intolerable, of shams and half baked pretences that otherwise they might have gone on tolerating; by the flashes of unmalignant wit in which even small boorishness: and meannesses were suddenly shown up in so unmis- takable light that it seemed impos- sible ever to commit them again; by the numberless cumulative touches by which an ideal of the gentleman was built up, wholesome, sensible unprig- gish, attainable by every sincere, sham hating-man, yet also full of quiet high things, charity, consideration for oth- ers-a "man of gentle will. ."-From "The Point of View" in the Christmas number December) of Scrfbner's Mag azine.

ABANDONED THE VESSEL.
The Crew Of British Bark Seattle and
 Desert Her.

New Bedford. Mass. Dec. ii.-captaln E. J. Reed of the whaling bark Petrei of this port in a letter just received by his wife in this city. gives a story of the malicious destruction at sea of the British bark Mysterious of Liverpool, near the Cape de Verde Islands octo- Der 22 last.
 Captain Reed saw the boats of a bark some distance away from his ves- sel. lowered. His first thought was that she was a whaler. and he ordered the boats on his own vessel lowered. He took after the boats of the other ves- sel, and they tried to baffie and elude him. He then gave them chase with de- termination, but they escaped him after a row of ten miles. He then boarded the deserted bark, which was loaded with coke. and soon found that she had been deliberately scuttled and was rapidly sinking.
 From some papers left behind Cap tain Reed learned that the bark was bound for a Chilian port and was heavily insured. The crew would find no difficulty in reaching the Cape de Verde Islands in their boats.

WRATH CALLED DOWN.

The Grand Army Record is No More the
 official Organ.
 Boston, Dec. 1.-The Grand Army Record, local publication, which pro- fesses to be the official organ of the or der, has called down upon its head the official wrath of the Massachusetts department. The editor of the paper is member of the G. A. R. in. good standing. For a. long period the pa per has contained innumerable articles directed at past and present officers of the state department, and in it's latest issue it has number of verses under the caption "G. A. R. Jingolsm," in- ferentially directed at Captain J. G. B. Adams. "r2f- -~
 Briefly it calls for a wider recognition of the services of the men who should cred the guns and less adulation of the men who commanded the boys in blue. It was this, so it is reported, that served as the last straw, and as a re- suit Department Commander Wether- bee has issued special letter to all posts within the states in which he calls attention to the fact that the G. A. R. Record is not the official organ of the department. ,f

At Warner Hall Last Evening-Highly
 Enjoyed.
 It was a very select audience which assembled at Warner hall last evening to be entertained by Laws orchestra and the brilliant and versatile young elocutionist, Miss Eveiyne Hilliard of Buffalo, N. Y. Miss EIilliard recited about fifteen different selections, every one being perfectly rendered. and each succeeding piece fu'i, ,,2nonstrating the superior intellectually of the read- CT as we'll as the charm of her rendi- tion, which was most natural From the child character in the Pride of Battery B" to the varied characters in the sketch At the Photographers" she held her audience with fascinat' |. which was marvellous Altogether the recital was highly entertaining, and af- ter the introduction last night to Q New Haven audience the beautiful. elo- cutionist of the evening may feel as- sured of a rousing reception on fu- ture visit to this city.
 The recital was under the auspices of the Grand avenue Baptist church and under the direct management of the treasurer, MT. c. G. Ames. who deserves commendation for the success of the entertainment. %

 St. Johns, N. F., Dec. 11.-Several small firms suspended to-day, but there were no developments in Newfound- lands financial crisis. Nearly every manufacturing concern in the city has ceased running, The shareholders of the Commercial Bank of Newfoundland will meet on Monday and elect trustees and prepare to wind up the institution. The Union will not reopen until mat ters are adjusted. Its notes were re- fused in trade to-day.
 The party led by ex-Premier White way demand that the government dis miss the Goodridge ministry and re- place the Whitewayites in office. A deputation called at the government house to-day and made this demand. The governor is unwilling to dismiss the ministry although they yhave offered to resign. The Whitewayites, it is said, cannot possibly raise any loans in London. Their newspapers are treat ing the whole crisis from a partisan standpoint.

Many Passengers Injured Two, of Whom 1 pr Have Died. l Chicago, Dec. 1.-Two cable trains
 coqlided in the Washington street tun-
 mel tonight. A dozen passengers

 of them afterwards died, while nine or
 ten others were slightly hurt by flying glass and splintered wood. Following is the list of casualties I

Close ahead was a crowded Madison street train made up of a grip and two trailers. When half way down the incline the Milwaukee avenue trains grip slipped on the cable or broke, the brakes failed to work and l the train rushed down with terrific Vt lecity towards the train in front At the bottom of the grade came the crash. Most of the victims were penned in the two trailers of the Madison street train, which were shattered to splin- ters. Frantic screams of pain and hor- TOT filled the air.
 Fire added to the horror of the panic and many were hurt in the desperate scramble to escape from the wrecked cars The fire came from the stove in the first trailer, but no one was injured in that way. Several victims had to be extricated from the debris. A few pas seneers in the first Milwaukee, avenue trailer were hurt.

Danger of Annexation.

Toronto, Dec. 1.-The Evening News says: The political and commercial crisis in Newfoundland is matter of great import for Canada in more ways than one. The aggregate of our trade with the island Is about B, 00o, GOO year and this must be affected by the trou- bles now existing. But what is still more amportantis the danger that New foundland may seek relief from the em- barrassing situation in annexation to the United States It would be a very serious thing for Canada to have the outlet of the gulf and the Newfound- land fishing grounds in the hands of a foreign and sometimes hostile power.

Cha,nuion Rat-Killer :,

H. M. Wright, of Glastonbury, is the prize rat-killer of Connecticut. He oc- cupies large, old-fashioned house of the farm house style on the main road of the electric car line. For years past his house has been infested more or less with rats, but not until recently to 8 troublesome extent. Several weeks ago. however, the house became filled with them. They made their presence known in many ways. During the night they scampered with squeaks all over the house between the walls and flooring, making such a racket that 1t was almost impossible to sleep. He ac- cordingly secured number of traps and set them in various parts of the houes. The first day he caught twen- ty-five rats, and during a few days his capture amounted to over two hundred. MT. Wright continued the fight and the rats are pretty, well cleaned out now. In all he has killed about three hum Idred s

Government is Stronper.

London, Dec. 1.-The prime minister, Lord Rosebery. in speech in Daven- port this evening, contended that the government was now stronger than its most sanguine supporters ventured last spring to predict. He compared the small loss of seats sustained by the liberals in the present parliament with the losses sustained by the last govern ment. The ministers were determined, he said, if the power should be given to them, to deprive the lords of their ab- solute veto forever.

POLICE FORGE Js ROTTEN.
Such Was tho Statement Made to tho Lexow
 Investigating Committee.

AhSosukhuuB SoW'nittec'
 New York. Dec. 1l.-When the Lexow committee met to-day Mir. Moss stated that in the year 1885 s25o.ooO was paid out for police pensions In this city and in 1893 s56s.4s5. In 1894 there were 76o retired officers on the pension roll and 500 policemen were now waiting to re- tire on the first of January. when the increase In salary went into effect. Mr. Moss called to the stand several police- men who had been retired on pensions, although they were in good health and were engaged In other business. In reply to question by Chairman Lexow MT. Moss said he did not want to have the entire police force legisiated out of office suddenly.
 T want new police force to be or ganized," said he, "and be ready to step in the moment the old Is legislated out. The present police force is rotten and should not be permitted to exist any longer"
 MT. Moss said that those officers against whom no charges had been made were retained. Their cut off and then they could be reappointedA This would sever all connection with the district leaders who supported them. David Paulhamus, 8 retired police sergeant, testified that he once had aspirations to become a cap tain. He was visited by & man who
 told him if he paid 5000 he would be promoted to captaincy. It was a common rumor that policemen paid for promotion. He thought gambling houses and houses of Ill fame could be closed. Hannah Rosenthal, a young girl, told how she was arrested Satur- day night by Officer Gill on charge of soliciting. She Is a very respectable looking young woman. She said she was locked up all night. The judge discharged her the following morning. Lawyer Abe Hummel corroborated
 the story told by Augustine E. Costello, who testified last week that Inspector
 Mclaughlin assaulted him with brass
 knuckles when he was arrested. Charles Duffy, who was the lawyer of Costello at the time of the alleged as- sault, said that he charged Captain Mo
 Laughlin with assaulting Costello. Captain Mclaughlin. did not deny it," said he. 'sHe said that he and his
 officers would deny Costello was as- saulted, and say Costello met with the injuries in his cell" ,,
 Witness advised Costello mot to bring an action against the captain, as it
 would be no use. Michael Stanley, Costello's bookkeep- er testified to the character of Costello and corroborated the story '.,r - Mir. Costello resumed the stand. He ] repeated the history of the book he had published about the fire department. He said he sent a letter to MT. Croker telling about his arrest and his treat ment by Captain Mclaughlin and h. see Inspector Williams or Inspector Mo- paid to the letter. '', Ma Moss said he would be happy to see Inspector Williams or Inspector Mo- Laughlin on the stand
 T understand" said MT. Costello,
 'that the same kind of a plot is being matched against me now by police off, cials, which will be sprung as soon as this committee adjourns."

IN THE REICHSTAG.
The Hall and Galleries Filled by an Ex- pectant Or wd. ,'

The Hall and Galleries Filled by an Ex- pectant Or wd.
 Berlin, Dec. 1.-The hall and gal leres of the reichstag were crowded to- day in expectation of witnessing ex- citing scenes over motion of Chancel- Tor Hohenlohe to prosecute the socialist deputies who refused to respond to the presidents call for cheers for the kaiser last Thursday. President won Levetzow read the petition of the prose- cutor for the prosecution of the offend ing deputies. The petition was re- ferred to the business committee of the reichstag.
 Chancellor Hohenlohe then addressed the chamber. He said thatsif it was ex- pected that change in the officer signified change of system the people were wrong; but he would not say that he would go in all things in the way in which others who had preceded him had gone. Cries of "bravo.') The chancellor -dwelt upon the necessity for financefeform and encouragement of the relations between the empire and the individual states, which would bring the empire into harmony with the states. zMe -@
 He announced an increase in the ap- propriation for the colonies, and as the commerce of Germany must be extend ed thereby there would also be re- quired an increase in the number of ships to protect German interests abroad. Domestic legislation to assist the rural population was also intended, for, assuredly, he said the legislation of recent years had been much more favorable to manufacturing industries than to agriculture. s.
 Prince Hohenlohe continued to ex- pand the ideas set forth by the em- peror in his speech from the throne, concluding by calling attention to the necessity of strengthening the com mon laws against movements designed to undermine the authority of the state and expressing the hope that the church and state authorities would cooperate in complete harmony in this effort The budget statement was then reah. Count .Posadowsky, secretary of the imperial treasury, addressed the. reich stag in support of the governments financial proposals. 2 a3 {. ]
 Herr Richter attacked the govern- lhent's financial policy. He suggested that Dr. von Boetticher, minister of the interior, explained Chancellor: Cap- rivPs fall. pr. won Boetticher replying to Richter declined to involve the en- peror's reasons for accepting Chancel- Tor Caprivi's resignation.
