BURIED UNDER THE ENGINE
THREEMEN CL USHED D1NDSC1LDED TO DEATH NEAR PORT MORRIS.


 The Locomotive Left the Tracks and Went Down an EmbanlSment Landing on Its Right Side Nearly Upside Down-TooS Nearly Two Hours to Get the Dead Men From Under the wreclS-Worst Accident
 Years on the Consolidated Road.
 New York, Dec S.-Swltch engine No, 76 of the New York, New Haven and Hartford road, Harlem River branch, while on its way to Van Ness shortly after o'clock this morning left the track on the curve south of Port Morris station, ran down an embankment and turned over, instantly killing Engineer Thomas Fitzgerald and Brakemen Fred Naples and Thomas McNally, all of this city.
 Three other trainmen, who were in the cab of the locomotive when it jump ed down the embankment, were injured. The injured are: Thomas McKeon fire man, scalded slightly by escaping plCcbl, IOlllco DollliOil, IoIiNttSNoA' 5S- were scalp wound; John 10th, brake man, slight bruises.
 The cause of the accident is not known, the officials leaving it to brok- en rail. Before leaving the roadbed the engine ran along the tracks for nearly 200 feet, then suddenly curved inward again, crossed the inner downtown track tearing the rails from the ties and cutting the wood into splinters, and leaped down the embankment. The drive wheels sank into the cinder bank and the momentum of the locomotive whirled it over so that it landed on its right side nearly upside down.
 The three men killed were seated on the engineers side of the cab and were crushed and scalded to death when the cab was crushed in. Fireman McKeon felt the engine leave the track and jumped He lit within a few feet of the engine just as the steam dome was wrenched off and the contents of the boiler blown out. Conductor Bannon was thrown clear over the engine and lit upon his shoulders in the soft cin- ders He was stunned and bleeding when he picked himself up. John 10th was practically unhurt and his presence of mind averted another serious wreck The "Cannonball," freight running on passenger schedule, was due. 10th ran up the track and Jagged this train, which stopped with the locomotive within g. hundred feet of the torn-up track.
 call was sent in for ambulances, and a fire alarm was rung in. Two en- zines and a hook and ladder truck re- sponded and water was poured into where Fitzgerald, Naples and McNally were pinned under the fiTe-boX. It took an hour and quarters to remove the bodies of the dead men. The en- zine was 'sjacked up" a few inches, and the wooden cab was hacked away with axes.
 All the victims of the accident leave families.

Sunday Fire in Bristol.

Bristol, Dec Sire, which broke out at 4;3o this morning in the meat mar ket of R. Weed & Co.,, in F.orestville, completely destroyed two buildings owned by the E. N. Welch Clock Manu- featuring company, practically ruined a small building occupied by $. D. Bull as livery office, a total loss be- ing caused of nearly $6,000.
 The loss to Welch & Co. on their buildings will reach $5,000. Weed &, / Co. had about a ton of meat in their store and the loss of this, together with the fixtures and other contents will reach an amount in the neighbor- hood of $700. Bulls loss is nominal and the total loss will approximate, as in- dicated above, the sum of $6,000, with partial insurance. The fire was prob ably caused by a stove in Weed & Co.'S meat market.
 The extent of the fire is due to the fact of it's location. The flames were discovered by watchman in the Welch Manufacturing company factory, a half mile away, and the shop bell was rung. The alarm was then taken up by another factory quarter of a mile distant from the fire. When the steam CT reached the scene, through an over sight on the part of the stoker, a half hour elapsed before steam was up and a stream was playing. Postmaster Hold en has made arrangement with Henry Porter for a portion of his store and tomorrow the postoffice will be tenn porarily opened there, so that there will be no delay in handling the mails.

 Opium on FaIr Street-Could Not Secure
 Bonds and Spent the Night in the Lockup
 Opium and Gambling Implements
 So;zed.
 For the third time this year the po- lice again last evening made a success full raid on the Chinese Joss house at 76 Fair street and as a result of the raid 2S dusky Mongolians were placed behind the bars at police headquarters where the majority of them remained until an early hour this morning. This was a new experience to the dusky de- voices of fantan and opium, as hereto fore they have been able to secure bondsmen immediately after their ar rest, Last night, however, was an ex- ception and up to midnight no one mad appeared to give bonds and none of the crowd had been released.
 shortly after o'clock last night a squad of officers composed of Patrol men Sessler, Grant, Jeremiah McGrath, Watrous, Hackett, Doughan and stan ford were dispatched from police head quarters and went directly to the Joss house al 76 Fair street. The place was quietly surrounded and then several Dfficnrc q +tte toH fp oh f h a rear door. This, however, they found was stoutly barricaded but it was but the work of a few minutes for the her culean frames of Patrolmen Sessler, Grant, McGrath and Stanford to burst in the door and secure an entrance into the gambling apartments.
 In the meantime the Chinamen in side had heard the noise and commence ed to scamper and scurry around in their efforts to conceal themselves, but their efforts were futile as every ave- nue of escape was securely guarded, All were placsd under arrest and taken to police headquarters, the patrol wag- on making five trips in carrying the crowd to headquarters.
 The police also seized a quantity of gambling implements, cards, chips, etc, and a number of opium pipss, a quanti- ty of dope and other paraphernalia These Were also taken to police head quarters and will be used as evidence at the trial in the city court this morn- ing. The prisoners are most of them residents of this city, but some in the crowd hail from Vermont Hartford Milford, Bridgeport and New York Up- on their arrival at police headquarters they were locked up in the woman's de- partment, three women prisoners who had been arrested for drunkenness and other petty offenses being placed in cells in the upper corridor of the wo- mems quarters.
 The Chinamen arrested were as fol- lows, all being charged with gaming except Lee Cling, who is charged with keeping a gaming house: Chin JuEg Lem Chow, Joe Ting, Chin Yen, An Sem, Lee Joe, Lee Ton, Lee King, Jun Sing, An Wing, An Song, Ah Led, Lee O'Sing, Oh Hey, Charlie Chin, An Dow, Sing Lee Chin Joe, Lee Coon, Lee tim, Lom Sag, An Wong, Yep Lee, An Lung, Gin Lee, Hey Won and Kee Chung.

A Church Destroyed by Fire.

Greenwich, Dec. 8.-The old First Con- gregationa1 church at South Beach was destroyed by fire last night. The flames were discovered soon after the fires had been lighted in the furnaces, and in an hour all that remained were the burned timbers in the place of the white church of the style built in New England sixty years ago. It was the second church built by the society, the first having been erected in 1760. The country for miles around was illuminated. The tombstones in the church yard were saved from ruin by wetting carpets and throwing them over them. The edifice was insured for several thousand dol lars. The congregation held services in the school house to-day, but the in convenience will be only temporary, as a new stone edifice is nearly completed.
