THE SWITCH WORKED.
And a Calamitous Accident Was
Averted.


NorwaIk, Oct. 27.-The accident here
yesterday on the Consolidated road
might have been terrible one but for
the automatic switch, and might have
been, but for the switch, a repetition
of the awful drawbridge disaster here
forty years ago. After the fast ex-
press from New York had left the de-
pot here the train accelerated it's speed
and was running very fast. The
drawbridge had just been opened for
a boat to pass through. This set an
automatic safeguard switch open and
the train took to the siding intended to
derail it in such cases by running it
into a deep bed of sand, and bringing
It to a standstill.
In this case, however, so great was
the speed that the engine ground its
was through the sand down a twenty
foot embankment, where it landed bot
tom side up. The engineer and fire.
man, as they felt the engine topple
over, jumped off into the sand and
thus saved their lives.
The baggage and express car were
also derailed, but did not go down the
embankment. The train separated
from the above two cars, and the pas
sengers who got off to see what was
the matter at first hardly realized the
nature of the accident. When the truth
was discovered there were many ex-
pressions of thankfulness.

Libel Suit Quashed In Superior Court
Court Notes.
Judge Thayer, in the superior court,
criminal side, sustained yesterday a
motion by ex-Judge Blydenburgh to
quash the case of criminal libel against
Albert X. Kennedy, proprietor Of the
Derby Transcript. The complainant in
the case was Charles D. Warner of An
sonia and New Haven, prominent In the
Law and Order league.
The motion to quash was made on the
ground that the offence was within the
Jurisdiction of the Derby city court and
that in order to bind the accused over
to the superior court the city court
should have found him guilty, which 1t
did not do,
MORSE'S BONDS REDUCED.
A motion was made by P. w. Chase
in the superior court yesterday morning
for reduction of the $4,000 bonds I'M
der which Morse Is held in the custody
OF the SneTlH,
In opposing the motion State Attor-
ney Williams said: 81 asked for requi-
sition for Morse after I was convinced
that it was my duty to prosecute the
case, and can see nothing which
would lead me to change my views.
While realize that the jury disagreed,
no doubt honestly, I don't think that
ought to be taken as an indication that
the bond should be reduced"
Judge Thayer reduced the bond to
50, 500.
Mr. Morse states that the verdict of
the jury is most unsatisfactory to him,
but says that there was some satisfac-
ton to him on hearing that while at
| first nine We're against him, the num-
Der for conviction was at one time re-
duced to two. He expects to get bonds
and be released in a few days.
