 This ity and Ielescoped at Pnrkville.
 Hartford, Feb. 1.-Two extra freight trains which left New Haven this after noon for Hartford were partially wreck ed near Parkville tonight. Each train was composed of thirty-five cars. Train No left New Haven short while af- ter the first train and followed it from a distance as far as Parkville, when it crashed into the rear end of train No. 1, which had stopped to switch a carload of coal onto a side track for the Tube works at Parkville, There was some difficulty in disconnecting the car and the delay was costly. A bent coupling had been used and 1t was so firmly wedged in position that the brakemen could not extract it from the bumper. The telescoping train sustained the most damage. Several of the cars were wrecked and a few thrown clear across the track. The caboose in train No. i caught fire and was burned to the trucks before assistance could be obtained. Three of the loaded box cars of the leading train were also destroyed The only member of either of the train crews injured was a brakeman named Darry, who jumped from the top of freight car and sprained his ankle.

 That said he, "is what l went to Washington to ascertain and have re- turned home with a full understanding of the program of Senator Quay's friends throughout the country. For three months score or more of the republican leaders of the several states have been urging him to permit the use of his name, but 1t was not until few days ago that he gave his assent.

The New York Uovernorship.

SARATOGA, Aug. 25.-The end Of long
day of many conferences finds a situation
that has hardly been equalled in the his
tory of state Republican conventions
Thomas @, Platt, for many years the leader
of the party and but once an oficeholder,
is besieged in so vigorous manner that
his determination not to be a candidate,
still adhered TO, is quite likely to be over
ridden and the scenes that marked the
nomination Of David b. Hill in 1891 may
find Republican repetition tomorrow. On
the other hand men who for months have
nursed gubernatorial booms find those
booms today on the verge of collapse n
collapse so sudden that it has paralyzed
the ambition of energetic workers and
spread some discomfort among the rank
and file. The proposed nomination of Mr..
Platt il is alleged, is for the purpose of
healing differences and preventinga IA breach
between the followers of Aldridge and
Fish.
