LET THEM GO FEELING THEY BEAR THE
 SACRED HoNoRs OF THE PEOPLE.
 When I was boy, 10 years ago, down in Rhode Island, they used to elect men to public office because they were fitted to discharge the duties of such office, The sturdy farmers of the town in which 1 was brought up were thrifty, intelli- gent and prosperous. They had a free public library, debating society, singing school, lectures, etc., and they were familiar with the principles of gov ernment as set forth by Washington, lief ferson and all the great leaders of our democratic institutions. They knew the maxims of Ben Franklin and their prac- tical ideas of business and social welfare were carried into the politics of the town. There was no lack of party zeal as well remember, but the fight was for the best man for ths place, for all that. The pub lie service was honorable and only the successful and honorable man was want. ed in it. The man who was not success ful in the management of his own affairs was not regarded as a fit man to under take the business of the town.
 One of the ablest men in the towr was town clerk 49 years; but be cause he abused the office and became overbearing in his position was finally de feated, though he cried like child thai he might hold the office just one year more, not for the money in it, but for the sake of the honor of 50 years service That there was wire pulling, sharp prac tice and occasional abuse in party man agement have no doubt; but fully be lieve that almost without exception the people of that town would have beer ashamed, party or no party, to have beer represented in the Legislature by any man who was not honorable, intelligen and capable of discharging the duties 0. the office with credit to himself and tt the community.
 I have no desire to go to Hartford my self, but do hope that whoever is sen will go feeling that he bears the sacred honor of the people.-[O. o. Wright.

A Shocking Death.

A Shocking Death.
 BENJAMIN MAYNARD OF TAUNTON DIs-
 TRICT, A CAR INSPECTOR IN THE EM-
 PLOY OF THE CONSOLIDATED ROAD,
 CAUGHT BETWEEN AN ENGINE AND CAR
 AT DANBURY, AND CRUSHED TO DEATH.
 FACTS REGARDING THE SAD ACCIDENT.
 Words of regret were heard on all sides when the sad news was passed around on Monday that Benjamin Maynard of Taun- ton district had met his death in 8 most sudden and shocking manner in Danbury, where he was employed as car inspec- tor by the Consolidated road.
 The Danbury News, in speaking of the accident, says: The accident happened just as the New York express reached this city. The train comes from Pitts field, and at this city the engine is chang ed. When the train stopped at the White street station, this morning, the trainmen began to cut the engine off from the train. Inspector Maynard crawled be- tween the engine and baggage car to un- couple the hose connecting with the air brake. Both engine and car were equip ped with the Miller coupler, and Brake man Bennett, who was on the platform of the baggage car, had some difficulty in parting the couplings. The train stood on curve, and a railway man who wit messed the accident said that it is usually very difficult task to part Miller coup | lers on a curve. The brakeman gave the signal for the engine to back slightly, in order to relieve the pressure upon the couplers. He either did not know the in- spector was beneath the train, ,or thought ] that he was in a safe position. The en- zine moved back very short distance. The brakeman heard 8 cry from the in- l 8peCtor, and discovered that he was be- tween the car and the engine, his head l held between the platforms as though in a vice. The signal was quickly given for the engine to go ahead and the unfortun- ate man was lifted from the track. He was unconscious and although there were few external indications that he was in jured, it was evident that he was very | seriously hurt. A stretcher was procur- ed and the man was taken into the wait ing room of the New England station. Drs Brownlee and Brown were summon ed by telephone. They saw that the man was beyond human aid but decided to take him to the hospital, where he would receive every attention possible. The ambulance was called and the injured man was taken to the hospital. Mir May hard lived only & few minutes after reach ing the hospital. His death occurred at 1O.45.
 Prindle & Morris of Newtown, the un- dertakers, took charge of the remains. Mir Maynard was about 54 years old. He was an industrious man, and his fellow employees were grief stricken over the &C., cident. He was said to have been an un- usually careful man about the trains and usually took no chances. His duties con- sisted of inspecting the cars as they came into the station and he usually assisted the trainmen in coupling and uncoupling the air and steam pipes.
 The funeral was attended on Wednes. day afternoon from his late home in Taunton district, Rev o. o. Wright of1c- iating. The burial was in Lands End cemetery. The pail bearers were: Daniel Corbett, Frank Morgan, Chester Northrop, A. E. Buell., E. Perry and G. k. Wilson.

A WORD FROM WALTER GLOVER.

MT Editor, Dear Sir: Through the col umns of THE BEE, wish to correct an item which appeared ia your last issue in regard to the misfortune Norman Northrop had in losing a horse. Who ever wrote that item was not acquainted with the facts of the case. The item reads that Mrs Norman Northrop called on Mrs Walter Glover and htched the horse, when my horse, which was feed ing near by, came around and kicked it, striking it in one of it's front legs and fracturing that member, 30 that the horse had to be killed. There are two sides to everything, and l wish to state the ease on the other side, as l happened to be around and saw it all. It IS true that Mrs Northrop drove to nay house and htched her horse. Alto that my horse was feeding near by, when Mr Northrop's horse reared at my horse and bit her. My horse returned the compli- ments with the other end, causing a slight wound about an inch long. This was done Friday morning. Mrs North rop drove home and turned the horse out in the lot and nothing was thought of it till the next Monday night, when Nil Northrop went to catch the horse and found it's leg fractured. If that member was fractured at my house, how could the horse have been driven home without being known under three or four days It seems to me unreasonable.-[Wa Walter l Glover.
