NEWSPAPER TRAIN WRECKED.
Sharp Curve Causes "a DeraiIment
and Smashup.

New Haven, Conn, June 1.-THE New
York Sunday newspaper train, due here
at 4:2O, was completely wrecked in the rail
road yard this morning. There were four
cars on the train, and all but the last car
was derailed. The engine was turned
completely about and thrown over on its
side Engineer Higgins and Fireman
Chapel were injured.
1t Is not known what caused the smash
up, but it is supposed that the trains
speed, which is said to have been fifty
five miles an hour, was too great for the
very sharp curve at the "cross-over," at
the point where the accident occurred.
Fireman Chapel was seriously, but not
dangerously hurt. Engineer Higgins left
knee cap was shattered and his left leg
was broken below the knee. He sustained
numerous body bruises. The tracks for
300 feet or more were torn up. There was
great damage, too, to the switching sys-
TEN. The money loss will be very great.
There was no delay to traffic, which is
very slight on Sunday. 1t was little
short of miraculous that no one was killed
in the smashup.

'tNo, he hasn't" retorted another, "he's sensible enough-more so than we are.'' It's the saloon that hurts and keeps us poor. I've been wondering all this while why Debs and the rest of the leaders didn't see it. The boy sees it right"
 "Ob, it's a new labor leader, is it ?" chimed in one of the men, in 8 disdainful tone. Maybe he can do better than Debs did, and gain us the victory. What do you say, men, shall we join the strike ?"
 "If you do" said Dennis, "I can tell you one thing, it will never be called off, and it will win in the end. You won't need to pay me any money to keep it up, either, or run any risk of bringing soldiers down on you or getting into jail"
 When the news was carried to Brody's place by one of the men in the car, who took his bucket and that of his comrades to have them filled, there was a great laugh over it, and the red-faced bartender swore round oath that the boy was 8 fool, and the worst kind of one at that.
 But over in the corner bIawny framed Irishman rose up and shook his fist in his face, declaring: ''Its me own flesh and blood I won't hear denounced. He's 8 good boy, and has more sense than the rest of us. Good day, men; Pm off,"
 "Gone to join the new strike," laughed some of the loafers. And so he had, and Dennis Morarity's strike had called out another man that day; and it is on yet.

""ITINERANT" MERCHANTS.

The supreme court in handling that Rockville case involving the right to tax by license itinerant dealers in merchandise of various sorts has to consider only the legal aspects of the matter and the ques- tion of it's constitutionality. If the court decides that such itinerants cannot be taxed, the decision will not alter the re- lation of the business to the public.
 Of these particular dealers who opened shop in Rockville we know nothing what ever. They may be selling solid gold at brass rates, or all wool at half the price of shoddy. It is not of them that we speak in condemning the general principle of itinerant trading. In the large that way of doing business is not to be encour- aged.
 People, who are not known to con- munity, hire some vacant store for few weeks, if possible the weeks of ltveliest trade, and then spread before ignorant buyers bargains such as were never seen before. Go to any established Hartford concern in the same line and the prices are double those of the newly arrived phil anthropists. Purchasers flock in, attract ed by big signs, by notices of "damaged stock, |" by small figures for large bargains and so on. They buy and in buying gen. erally get very inferior goods, thus suffer. ing themselves, for their folly; but they let outsiders carry off a lot of money that should naturally go to our own well-knowr taxpaying, reputable merchants.
 When strangers como to city and offe1 to give people two dollars for one, it ii we'll to investigate before buying instead of after. The people to do business witt are the established dealers, the men yol trust, and who, very often, have to trus you.-HGrtford COIrGaet.

(COnn. Farmer) SUCCESS WON ON A FARM.

T. B. Terry is 8 we'll known writer on farm topics and lecturer at farmers in- stitutes. His great success as 8 writer and talker lies in the fact that he tells his experience in bringing rundown, worn- out farm to money making basis. Not with standing this some seem to question whether he does not make more money telling how to farm than in farming. Re gently the question was put to him direct:
 Would you have succeeded in making your farm what it is, with it's surround ings and buildings, and everything as comfortable as you now have, if you had had to depend entirely on it from the time you started? Is not your success largely due to the fact of your receiving money for institute and literary work ?''
 MT. Terry replied in the Practical Farm CT. He says:
 Yes, to the first question. No to the last. The success was practically attain ed before had any literary income 1t was because Il had succeeded that was called on to write and talk. In 1881 my crops sold for $2,545 from thirty-five acresa Hhis attracted attention, and one paper asked me to write for them in 1882. Before the year was out the Ohio Farmer called for some of my work. In 1882 my income from thirty five acres was $2,082. In 1883 1t almost reached $3, 600, as put in twenty -four acres of potatoes. In round numbers had about $3, 700 sur plus diarlng Shese three years from the farm to go toward improvements. Now what was my literary income during this time? Not 8 dollar until 1882 That year one paper paid me B70, and another $27. In 1883 I received from the first $80, and from the second $56, and this was all my literary income during these years, except prize of $50 given me by the Ohio State Board of Agriculture"
