TWO MEN KILLED.

A Sad TraEedy-Deaf mutes Cut to
 Pieces in the Annex Yesterday-
 Were Walking on the Tracks.
 William E. Bunnell, aged forty, of 334 North Quinnipiao street, annex, and George 0. Williams, aged thirty, of Court street, West Haven, were killed near the "Pcor Mans crossing" in Fair Haven East yester- day morning. Both men are deaf mutes. They were walking along the track on their way to Lake SaltOnstall, where they in- tended to spend the day in fishing. Being unable to >haar<the blasts blown on the whistle of the engfne as 1t approached, they kept on the track unaware of danger, and 1t was impossible for the engineer to stop the train in time when he realized that the men did not know their situation. The men were instantly killed.
 The remains were taken to Cox & Henze's undertaking establishment in this city. Later in the afternoon fragments of their clothing and some nick-nacks they had in their pockets were picked up some dis tance from where they were killed.
 Bunnsll leaves Q wife and child. Will Hams was unmarried and lived with his mother, the widow of the late Miles VII. Hams, in West Haven. He had an office in 6 Chapel street building, this city. He will be remembered by many as the deal mute who sold specimens of bis penman' | ship at Ssvin Rock last summer.

At the Start There Were Further Tn.
 dications of Liquidations in Indus.
 trials Whiskey was Heavy-At the
 Close the Market was Rather
 Weak.
 NEW YORK, May 9.-There were further indica. tions of llquIdatlons in the industrials at the start this morning. American Sugar being par ticularly weak, the stock In the first transac- tions falling off about point. This led to sell ing in other parts of the industrials group and fually 1t became quite general. General Electric received some attention from the room traders, and on 6 revival of an old story about the in- roads the Westinghouse was making in the busi- ness territory of the former, the price fell 1S to 85lf. The recent Boston selling was attributed to the Ames estate. and this probably had more influence with the timId holders that the story first referred to.
 whiskey was also heavy, one firm selling io,- 900 shares, the transactions being credited to a bear clique. The stock declined l1S to 22Ix. Lead 1A to ss116 and Sugar lss to lossz In the early trading Louisville and Nashville dropped $ to
 47ss on foreign selling, but other railways were steady. Subsequently Lake Shore moved up A
 to 13lA and Louisville and Nashville rallied # to 4s1s
 In the last hour of business the Changers and other railway stocks developed weakness on re-
 ports of rate cutting at the west and fears of further large gold exports late in the week. st Paul declined 1s to 6oN, Rock Island x to ssIf. Northwest 1A to 1o7If and Burlington and Quincy to 7s1s. The last named was also af- fected by rumors abo a probable reduction In | the dividend rate to a per cent. basis. At the close the market was rather weak in | tone, with prices anywhere from # to 1s per | cent. below yesterdays finals The industrials l were relatively frmer than the railways fin the | final trading.

Pearson's melodrams, "The Midnight Alarm," with | all its array of dramatic and scenic of- feots. It will be given also tomorrow and Saturday evenings, with Saturday matinee.

The company playing Is an exceedingly good one. The Toronto Mail says of 1t:
 "At the conclusion of the first act the
 seal of popular approval was placed on thu
 performance as the curtain fell by loud
 and long-continusd ringing cheers and
 applause, which was repeated again and
 again dnIing the evening as some frest
 logue took the fancy of the crowded
 house. The Midnight Alarm is evidentl, ) going to draw we'll here all the week" Sale of seats now open.
