GERMANY WANTS SAMOA.
Therefore She Will Not Oppose An
ueXation

Honolulu, Oct IA, via San Francisco.
Oct 2l-It WAS definitely decided upon
yesterday among the Hawaiians OPP
posing annexation that q commission
OF ave men should be sent TO Wash
inGton TO make a determined fight
against the ratification OF the annexa-
ton treaty.
A prominent citizen who has recently
returned from Germany states that the
Hawaiian annexation question is re-
ceiving some consideration among the
German people. a number of promi-
nent Germans expressed themselves in
favor OF the analgamation OF the two
republics. In that event they think
that Germany should be allowed to
take Samoa without interference on the
part of the United States This they
deem a simple matter of fairness and
justice.

1t is pleasant to have some generous
soul come from the city into the country
and bring ''clam bake" with him. Mr.
and Mrs Stephen ChafeeI of Middletown
were most welcome guests at F. a. Is
BELLS, this week. Mr. Chafee seems to
say with the epicure:
"Live while you live, the epicure would say
And taste the pleasures of the present day;
Live while you live, the sacred preacher cries,
And give TO God each moment as it flies"
Now, when you get out in the shade
with bushel and half of CLAIMS before
you and half dozen big blue fish and
black fish done to "a t." with all the
good things that genuine clam bake
implies, you cannot but feel grateful to the
Great Creator for the food and drink so
pleasant to the taste, and the necessities
of man. The table was board from the
twelve-foot log of the celebrated chest
nut tree that one year bore eight bushels
of chestnuts, and the "said' log had 600
feet of clear boards in it. Your cores
pondent never was at clam bake before,
and now we regret that in living so long
we have missed so much. Like the man
that was 40 before be married, we can
say with him, in regret; Had L have
known how much pleasure there is in
| married life 1 should have married in nay

was lately married to the Widow Doug
lass of Middletown, and he is celebrat-
ed hotel keeper there. If ever, dear
reader, you go to Middletown, "call

Two jolly young ladies, guests at the
Grand Central, have been receiving the
congratulations of their friends over the
narrow escape they had one day last
week, while leaving for a drive. 1t is
said that one of the girls received great
fright % the nigut before from some
source, which may in part be RESPONSE
ple for her not knowing which line to
use, and in that way they became crossed
and the horse starting suddenly, caused
the carriage to swerye and the result
was, they lost their presence Of mind
and would have been in sorry plight
had they not been rescued from their
perilous position by the action of the
ever obliging Herbert Clarke, who see
ing them from distance, ran with great
alacrity and grasped the horse before it
started TO run, thus saving the occu-
pants from what might have been Sc
rious accident. After adjusting things
to right and becoming more composed
they proceeded on their way but 1t Ia
known that one of the young ladies re-
ceived such shock that her hands were
too feeble to hold brush when she un-
dertook to take painting lesson some
time later. IL is probable If the same
young ladies were TO 60 again they
would prefer some gallant escort.

Bad Wreck on the Shepaug
ENG INE JUMPS THE TRACK NEAR TIL
HANOVER CROSSING.

Last Saturday morning while Con-
ductor Bristol's train north was running
at pretty good rate of speed down the
grade that extends from Hawleyville to
the liver the engine left the track just
before reaching the crossing near Am
brose Taylor's property, in Hanover land
after running for about dozen rods on
the ties, plowed into the ditch and top
pied over on TO the rails a wrecked ma
chine. just what happened to cause the
wreck could not be learned. Where the
engine left the rails is rather a short
curve, and while many Of the ties looked
poor, there was no sign of spreading
rails, and it seemed quite feasible that
the clip at which the train was running
for some reason caused the engine to
jump the track. 1t kept to the road bed
remarkably well and ran along on the
ties over the bridge, quite long one,
over Pond brook, ,and just passed the road
crossing, when it made sudden dive for
the ditch, dug hole in the ground about
four feet deep where 1t struck, and went
up in the air coming down crossways
squarely across the track. The tender
was in the ditch to the right, where also
car of coal that was next to the engine
was toppled over and unloaded. OF the
remaining scars OF the train only two
were derailed, and these remained stand
ing upright. The track was badly torn
up where the engine went over. En-
gineer Munson was at the throttle and
when he saw his iron horse was in the
dirt he and his fireman jumped and saved
their lives. No one was hurt. Had it
not been for the guard rails on the bridge
the engine would have been il the brook
undoubtedly. a wrecking train WAS
busy all of the rest of the day clearing
up the wreck and mending the track.
Passengers were. transferred over the
wreck so that traffic was not delayed
much.

Leader
NUMBER SO.
ed here number of times and is alwsys
heard with pleasure.

Franklin S. Hoyt, son of Rev J. P.
Hoyt, has once more resumed his work
as principal of the New Milford graded
school. His Newtown friends as well as
| the patrons of the school in New Mil
ford, will be interested in his statement
of the school work which we reproduce
from the Gazette. Mr. Hoyt says: The
Centre School opened last Tuesday with
a total attendance of .215. This is only
about two-thirds of what the first en-
rollment should have been. We cannot
urge TOO strongly the absolute necessity
CT the children's beginning the years
work at once and keeping in school
throughout the entire year. The work
OF the school as now arranged requires
the continued punctual attendance of the
child if he is to keep along and be pro.
NOTED with his class. Several of the
scholars Of last year failed to receive
'HSA PlOuOIIOu III June because OF
irregular attendance. The committee
have decided to start a regular High
School course this fall and the parents
of children who are prepared to take an
advanced course are asked to give the
matter their careful consideration.
This is the natural result Of the graded
system as established in the school.
Last year special attention was given to
the establishment OF thorough, graded
course preparatory for advanced studies.
Now the committee feel that we are
ready for the next step, the Inauguration
of practical High School course in
order to give the town complete edu-
cational system, which will compare
favorably with the systems extant Ii
other towns of this size. We should be
pleased to talk with any who wish to
avail themselves of the privileges of
this department of the school.
