 There was considerable excitement at the Washington avenue crossing of the | Naugatuck road last night. The trainmen were hauling some empty cars out of Holmes.

When the train reached a point just below the crossing two of the cars jumped the track, smashing the running gear to pieces and burying the wheels sev- eral feet in the earth. The coal had to be shoveled out. and a force of men are at work about the place all day trying to put the disabled cars in running order. No one was injured.
 Postmaster Fitzpatrick and his as. sistants had busy night of it, removing to the new office.

Some trouble was caused last night by the r tusal of the postmaster to refund money to key holdrrs. of which there was no record.
