NO LOcAL BAND.
The Second Company, Governors Foot
Guard, Will Probably Hire Reeves Band
fnr he vi

Inc second company, Governors Foot
Guard, Will Probably Hire Reeves Band
for the Trip.
Neither the partisans Of the Foot
Guard band or the Second Regiment
band won at the meeting Of the Second
Company, Governors Foot Guard, last
evening. The company decided that
they would not take sides in a ''musi-
cali quarrel.
This committee on music which had
been appointed some time ago reported
that they had conferred with the leader
of the Foot Guard band and had re-
quested him to drop out several men
from the band and employ others whom
they suggested. This the leader flatly
refused to do but offered to drop four
men and add eight of Wheeler & Will
sons band. The committee also stated
that the services of the Second Regi-
ment band had been offered free of
charge for the trip OF Atlanta.
The committee recommended that
the offer of the Second Regiment band
be accepted.
The objectors to this plan made known
their opinion on the matter at once.
They stated that the Second Regiment
band had solicited subscriptions to the
amount of $3.50 for the purpose of de-
fraying their expenses. They made
this offer, it was claimed, simply to
destroy and disintegrate the other
band.
A motion to hire Reeves band of
Providence was made, but was amend
ed by giving the music committee
power to employ any band of not less
than twenty-three pieces, barring both
of the local bands. This was unani-
mously adopted.
No answer has been received from
President Cleveland accepting or de-
clining the offer of escort
Major Brown reported that the rail-
road companies had made arrange
ments for their entertainment on the
trip and that the local agent would
accompany them and enforce all con-
tracts in relation to the matter of trans
portation.
1t is understood that Reeves band OF
Providence will be engaged for the
trip.

NINE CARS WERE SMASHED
FREIGHT TRAIN ON THE SHORE
LINE ROAD SPLITINTO SECTIONS.

Coupling After Coupling of Fast Freight
Broke and When the Divisions Came
Together There Was Mixed-up Mess in
Which Nine Cars Were Knocked Into
Kindling Wood-No One Was INJURED.
Saybrook Junction, Sept. 27,-One of
the worst freight wrecks that has oc-
Cured on the Shore line division of the
Consolidated road happened at 1880
o'clock tonight just east of the railroad
station The train, the greater part of
which was wrecked, was the fast eX-
press freight for Boston from New
York, made up principally of fruit cars.
The freight left the New Haven yards
at $40 o'clock this evening and was in
charge of Conductor Booth and Engin-
eer Reed of New Haven The train was
passing through here at regular express
train speed when the coupling broke at
the forward end of the train About
the same time another coupling at the
middle and one at the rear end of the
freight parted. Engineer Reed slowed
down the locomotive, but the first Sec
tion of the freight was running wild
and crashed into the cars attached to
the engine with great force. Imme-
diately afterWard the last two sections
that had been parted allcame crashing
together. Nine freight cars We're smash
ed into kindling wood.
The spot where the accident occurred
is near the sand pit not a great dis
tance from the drawbridge. Some Of
the cars were rolled over and over
across the tracks like small dry goods
boxes The rails were torn up and
twisted out of shape. For unately, none
OF the train hands were injured which
is remarkable considering the manner
the tracks or broken up. 1t is said
that three tramps were seen riding on
the cars after the train started out of
New Haven in the evening, but they
were not found about the wreck this
evening when search was made for
them The fruit which the cars carried
was spilled out about the track. 1t
was not long after word had been tele-
graphed to New Haven for the wrecker
that there were 100 laborers at work
clearing up the wreck. The rails were
so badly twisted up that long delay
resulted in getting the road clear. Both
tracks were blocked until midnight,
when the wreckers succeeded in laying
cross rails from the west bound track
to a siding so that trains could pass
around the wreck, Over at Lyme, at
the eastern end of the drawbridge over
the Connecticut river were stalled the
express train from Boston for New York
which is due here at S:20, the fast pier
SO express freight, and an accommoda-
tion train due in New Haven at 9
o'clock The Gilt Edge, which left New
Haven about o'clock was stalled west
of the depot with an accommodation
train for New London
AT midnight, when the siding was laid
the New York express crossed the draw
bridge and passed around the wreck
While somewhat annoyed by the delay
caused by the accident the passengers
on the trains abandoned the coaches
and gathered around the freight wreck.
Many of the cars that were smashed
up belong to Southern roads, which
were loaded with Georgia fruit and sent
through to the east
