Street Car Traffic Considerably Delayed as
 Well as Consolidated Railroad Trains.
 The dense fog yesterday, which came on after Sundays storm of rain and ice, made things most disagreeable on land and water. The electric cars had a struggle to get and to retain their grip on the wires and rails. Snowploughs were sent out during the morning, and on some of the lines there was great difficulty in running the cars. The Fair Haven and Westville road experienced the least difficulty. Their cars were kept running during the night and in that way their line was kept in much better shape than the others, which did not run night cars. The New Haven Street Railway company and the Win chester avenue line had some difficulty, but got their cars to running early.
 Steamboat travel was very little in- terfered with, there being no delay on either line. Navigation was generally suspended, however, outside of the reg ular trips of the steamboats.
 Many people were enabled to clean their sidewalks on account of the thaw.
 Trains on the Consolidated were de- layed somewhat by the dense fog. En- gineers had to proceed cautiously, as 1t was impossible to see signals distinctly except within short distance of them The early morning trains were most af- fected and trains throughout the day were running from fifteen minutes to half an hour late.
 Stratford Point, Jan. "A dense fog hung over the sound all night, greatly delaying traffic. All the regular line steamers were behind schedule time. The Starin line steamer Corning passed here five hours late, and the Fall River and Norwich boats were several hours behind.

AN oR1GINA1 XMAS GIFT.

Generosity of Norfolk Lady superin-
 tendent.
 The members of the Sunday school in the town of Norfolk, this state, were given one of the most original and unique Christmas presents yet heard of. All the members over ten years were in- vited by the lady superintendent to take trip to New York; wholly at her expense. About 200 of the school, the oldest being seventy-seven, were taken to Gotham Christmas week, and when they arrived they were taken to the Fifth avenue hotel, where all enjoyed a hearty dinner The return was made the same day. All were very much elated over the trip.
 When the fact becomes known this lady superintendent will no doubt be in particular demand among the various Sunday schools of the state.

Exciting Accident on the Whitney Avenue
 Electric Road Last Evening.

Exciting Accident on the Whitney Avenue
 Electric Road Last Evening.
 A collision on the Whitney avenue electric road occurred about o'clock last evening. Car 66, in charge of Motorman Doyle, instead of waiting on the Sachem street switch for car 62, tried to make the Bishop street switch, resulting in a collision near Humphrey street. The motormen were unable to distinguish the approaching cars on &C., count of the dense fog, until they were quite near together. An electric light shone between them in such a manner that they could not see each other. They were able to lessen the speed of each car, however, so that when they collided they were not going at full speed Motorman Foley was in charge of car 62. There were about twelve peo- pie in each car. The platforms were damaged somewhat and several win dows broken, but no one was injured.

ing and Immediately brought to the
scene of his crime. A large crowd as
sembled in anticipation when learning
of his arrest, and brief speeches We're
made by Judges Duucan and Beard,
and atterward committee of seven
was appointed, whose duty it was to
see that the criminal was identified
and his guilt clearly established. The
evidence was conclusive. and the ne
gro himself confessed the killing, but
denied raping. The crowd brought
him on to town and he was driven
three times around the public square,
in plain view of 1000 or 1000 people.
A most affecting and pitiiul scene
was witnessed when the condemned
man mounted the scatlold. lie put
up most earnest petition to his Goa
for forgiveness, and again confessed.
He was then chained TO the irou rail,
which had been put up in a perpen-
dicular position, boxes heaped around
him and set on fire. In Il moment the
tlrmes shot up, followed by piercing
shrieks of the helpless victim. He
would first appeal to the audience
and then to heaven. He said; "Gen-
tlemen, if you let me down I'll never
do this again" "Please let me cool
for u minute" and similer appeals,
which were greeted with boots and
Kisses. His cry for cold water was
answered with curses and menaces.
Many burning missiles were thrown
at him. He gradually grew weaker
as the flames increased, and to end
his agony he tried to swallow the
flames. Then he tried TO dash his
brains out against the iron rail to
which he was tied, but his strength
failed. After being tortured for an
hour, the iron bar was pulled down,
large fire built over him and the
crowd dispersed.
