WAS TERRIBLY MANGLED.
GEORGE D. KIMBER INSTANTLK
 KILLED ON THE RAIL.

Came from Brooklyn to Look at a House
 Being Built for His Daughter-While Waiting at the Bridgeport Depot He Was Struck-Accident Witnessed by His Daughter.
 Bridgeport, May 7.-People standing on the platform of the depot here wait ing for trains at 6:3O o'clock this even ing witnessed the terrible spectacle of man sixty years of age crushed to death under the wheels of a west bound passenger train. The victim was George D. Kimber of Brooklyn, N Y, who came here this afternoon in com pany with his daughter, Mrs, Wellwood, and @ granddaughter to look at new house which is in course of construction in this city for Mrs. Wellwood
 Kimber and his daughter were stand ing on the platform waiting for their train for New York. Kimber wandered off to watering tank at the east end of the station between the tracks and while away from hts daughter pas senger train pulled into the station from New Haven. Kimber evidently became onfused and after darting back towards the depot he stepped directly in front of the passenger train. He was thrown down and the entire train passed over his body, severing the limbs and man gling the body terribly.
 The accident was witnessed by Mrs. Wellwood, who shrieked and then fell in a faint on the platform. She was taken to the depot and afterwards re- moved to the home of friend in this city. Kimber's remains were gathered up from the track and taken to Bishops undertaking rooms. In his pockets was found a bank book of the Shoe and Leather bank of New York with his name upon 1t. The remains were sent to Brooklyn this evening.

THE STLTER HERESY.
Hopeful Signs Are Now Observed in the
 West.

! Hopeful Signs Are Now Observed in the | West.
 1 Washington, May 7.-Comptroller
 Eckels says that he observed in his
 western trip everywhere disposition among the sound money men to be up and stirring for the dissolution of the silver heresy which has taken so seri-
 ous a grip upon the minimizing multi tude and people harassed by debt. He sees a favorable sign in the general awakening of trade and industry from long sleep, the renewed activity in in- land shipping, the starting of fine new
 business buildings etc, the probabili- | ty being that as the wrecks of the pam ic year disappear and fresh life is infus- ed Into business of all sorts, the vague groping of so many persons for some thing novel in finance will cease.
 Signs of the same sort are observed by other western men who are living
 here. One encouraging fact is the ap- parent failure of the scheme to raise money for Chicago democratic daily newspaper in the free coinage interest, while at the same time capital is re-
 sopnding readily to the call for a fund to establish a sound money demo- cratic daily--a venture which many
 predicted a few days ago would be in
 vain.
 The oral manifesto of young MT
 Thurman of Ohio excites astonishment
 here. even among those best acquaint-
 ed with his views and most aware of his disastrous faculty of aying the
 wrong thing at the wrong time. What
 arouses general wonder is his willing
 ness to drag his aged father into the
 fight now, and to make a spectacle of
 him before the country by parading
 him as the critic of an administration
 of which he tried to become member
 Delicacy, at least, would have restrain ed less garrulous son, as common sense has sealed the lips of the father on public occasions, whatever animad- version he may have indulged in pri- vately. The political ruin which over whelmed the elder MT. Thurman when he went wandering after strange f1nan- cial gods twenty years ago may have somewhat faded from the minds of persons who did not themselves take direct part in the great campaigns against greenbackism. Even persons with short memories, however, will have no difficulty in recalling the use of the old mans worn out weapons against himself with damaging effect when he made his stand for the vice on the Cleveland ticket in 1888. It was then hoped that he had learned the lesson wNich eve1S man flee S=-. dishonesty in others and that he had come back to the school of sound democracy to pass his remain ing days. MT. Thurman, junior, has opened the public's eyes most unpleas- antly; and public men who know the ex-senator best are half hoping that the latter will administer a proper re- buke to his son for misquoting him.

WILL BE NO. OPPOSITION
TOWN COUNSEL NOT ITO OPPOSE THE
 WORTH HAVEN EXTENSION.

Discussion Whether specific Vote Should
 be Passed by tho Board EDstrueting Town Counsel Goodhart Not to Oppose the
 Knad-Other Business
 The regular meeting of the board of selectemen was held last evening. all the members being present except Se- lectman Brown.
 | Attorney c. T. Driscoll appeared be- fore the board with specifications for the proposed electric extension to be built by the Fair Haven and Westville Railroad company starting from Ferry street. through Middletown avenue. to Montowese and North Haven, ana ask ed that the motion passed by the board last January that the twon counsel should be instructed to oppose all rail- road bills until plans were presented to the board be not enforced at this time.
 He said that he wanted to go up to the legislature to-day and present the mat ter to the railroad committee in rath- CT general way in order to find out if there would be any opposition. Selectmen Forbes and Cunningham thought that it would not be necessary to instruct the town counsel formally in regard to the matter. They simply could keep their hands off and not pass specific vote.
 Selectman Bretzfelder said: ~I stand on this matter just as did on the New Haven Street Railway Co. matter. sx. January was good one and think so now. I think we ought to adhereto it."
 Selectman Cunningham-I presented that resolution with the object of get ting before the board any one who want ed to go to Hartford with any bills re- lating to electric roads I wanted to avoid having the board totally ignored. Perhaps 1t would be just as well to have plans here. But think the object for which the resolution was passed has been accomplished.
 Attorney Driscoll said that he had spent good deal of time over the mat ter and he thought he had eliminated everything which any one could oppose
 Selectman Cunningham made the mo- tion that the town counsel be instructed not to oppose the bill. and the motion prevailed, Selectman Bretzfelder alone voting in opposition to the motion.
 A petition was presented from resi- dents of Hill street, Westville, asking that Hill street, between Main s1d Fountain streets, be hardened and top dressed The petition was referred to the committee on roads and bridges.
 Selectmen Cunningham and Forbes reported that two watering troughs at the Four Corners, annex, were out of order The matter was referred to sse road and bridge committee with pow CT to act and put in new troughs if neees- sary.
 Town Agent Baldwin presented the name of George w. Gray for special constable of the town of New Haven. He was appointed by the board.

Two Thousand People Attend Meeting in
 London.

London, May 1.-Two thousand per
 sons attended the long projected meet ing which was held in St. James hall tonight to protest against the alleged
 Turkish outrages in Armenia. The Duke of Argyle presided, and among the speakers were the Duke of Westnin- l ster, the bishop of St. Asaph, the bishop of Hedford and Lady Henry Somerset
 MT. Gladstone sent to the Duke of Ar gyll a letter expressing sympathy. He said: "It is with the sineerest grief that I view the infatuation of the Turk ish government, which is determined, 1t would seem, to do everything possi- ble to produce it's ruin. The duty in- cumbent upon all Europe seems clear. feel confident that England will not shrink from it, and trust that France and Russia will firmly cooperate. I hope that by moral means, but by |other means rather than not at all, ample security will be taken against a fresh resort by the sultan and his ad- visers to these deeds of shame"
 The reading of MT. Gladstone's letter
 elicited enthusiastic cheers. Resolu- tions were adopted condemning the Turkish atrocities and demanding re- forms in the government of Armenia

ANorHEB sEr-BACK EoR IExoW.
Unable to Pass the Police Reorganization
 Bill

Albany, May 7.--The police reorgani- zation bill was on the calendar of the senate this morning, and the journal bore the notice given by Senator Lexow last night that he would move a call of the senate at 11:30 o'clock. The bill al- lows the board of police commissioners of New York to remove any police ofIi- cer below the rank of inspector without giving specific reasons therefor or al- lowing the right of appeal. The lack of this right of appeal has been one of the causes of delay in it's passage, Senators Coggeshall, Robertson and Reynolds, reps, refusing to vote for 1t unless this right was given to the men on the force. The bill, if passed, would be tempora- ny measure and would expire six months after that date.
 Up to the opening of this mornings session all attempts to influence the senators above named and Senator Bradley, ind, Kings, to vote for the bill had been unsuccessful, and new com plication arose when it was announced that Senator Owens, rep, Kings, would not vote for the bill to-day, thus leaving the measure short two votes,
 Senator Owens first appraised the As sociated Press correspondent this morn ing of his intention, and when Lieuten- ant Governor Saxton was notified he at once appealed to Owens The latter said to the lieutenant governor:
 T can't and won't vote for the bill today" laying special emphasis on to-day"
 Senator Bradley was asked whether he had changed his mind. He said: T am neither convinced nor, if you care to put it that way, converted. can't vote for the bill"
 Senator Coggeshall said: q have not changed my mind," and Senator Key holds said: T am still steadfast,"
 Lieutenant Governor SaXton and Sem ator Lexow both pleaded with Senator Owens, but he refused to withdraw from his position of opposition. The bill when the senate opened, therefore, ap- parent1y had but fifteen votes, seven teen being necessary to pass it.
 This afternoon Senator Lexow said he would not call up the reorganization bill until tomorrow or Thursday. When asked his reason he said: "We have not votes enougt to pass it
 'Do you expect to have them by to- morrow?"
 T think we will by Thursday, any way"

 Cardinal HohenIohe retorted that the triumph of the church was always de- .irable, even with the assistance of Pre- snier Crispi.
 The pope replied that the church did lot need Signor Crispi, and asked the Hardinal to make a statement effaclng I he bad impression which his toast to 'ihe Italian premier had created. Cardinal Hohenlohe refused to prom

ANOTHER ADJOURNMENT.
It was Caused by Suspicion of a CoIIu-
 sion,

London, May 1.-The suspicion in the mind of the court that there had been collusion between John $. Rogers and Sir William Rose in the suit brought by the former against his wife, Minnie Palmer, the actress, in which Sir William was made correspondent, caused another adjournment to-day of the present divorce suit brought by Rogers against his wife. When the case came up for hearing Sir William Roses solicitor stated that Rogers had demanded t5,000 to stop the first suit, and Sir William had refused to buy him off, Rogers, the solicitor added, had since then threatened Sir Williams life and had sought to terrorize Sir William to pay him large sums of money. It was certain, said the solici- tor, that Sir William had not acted in collision with Rogers, although he had paid the latter f600 costs.
 Judge Jeun said that if Rogers had sold the suit against Sir William he might be debarred from getting a di- vorce on the ground of his wife's mis-
 conduct with another correspondent The court then adjourned.
