BOTH GOING FAST.

A wagon was smashed this morning by
a North Hudson County Railway trolley
car. The accident occurred at 6:20 o'clock
at Franklin street and Sherman avenue
The car, which was in charge of Motor
man Hugo Treaven, was going west on
Franklin street at high rate of speed
The wagon, belonging to Fred Ruegers S
bakery, and driven by George Stiviz, a
boy about Is years old, turned into Frank
lin street from Sherman avenue just as
the car came along. Stiviz, who was
driving fast, realized that he could not
cross the track in time to avoid a col
lision SO turned the horse westerly and
ran in front of the car. The car smashed
into the hind wheels and broke them into
atoms. The force of the collision drove
the wagon onto the horse and the shafts
were broken in two. Fortunately neither
the driver or the horse was injured.

MURDERER OR VICTIM.

MIDDLETOWN, Conn, Nov. 9, 1885,
Lowell Hall, counsel for Edward Rogers
the convicted murderer of Parmalee in
his statement of facts before Judge Ell
mer today, called attention to several
fatal discrepancies in the testimony of
the States witnesses as to show on the
night Parmalee was killed, and also
to the fact that the endeavor of the State
was to show that no one in Cobalt could
have done the deed, when it was equally
committed the murder and then loaded
off the tell-tale property on Rogers when
he came around there looking for work.
Mr.. Hall is convinced that Rogers is in
nocent and was the victim of some one
else's crime and that his story of the
way he got ParmaIee's property is es-
Sentially correct

FUSION DON'T FUSE.

A Democratic candidate for the leg
islature said the other day that he
would feel undersobligatiOns to vote
for a Populist United States Senator
two or three times, afterwards he would
vote as he pleased. That sentiment
seems to be prevalent all over the state
We did not expect to find it cropping
out SO conspiciously in this county
though. Over on the eastern side OF
the state it is notorious that the rank
and file of the Democratic party sub
stantially repudiated the Democratic
Populist fusion, and we begin to rear
that this section is quite as seriously
affected. However, there is no just
grounds for criticism if American
citizens refuse to be traded about IKE
cattle by the politicians. Some Gay
the Intelligent and self-respecting
people of this state will rise up against
this wholesale barter and prostitution
and rebuke it in a manner that VIII
give the political hucksters something
to reflect on for a long time.
