 Groton, Dec. 27.-A peculiar freight wreck took place on the Shore Line di- vision of the New York, New Haven and Hartford railroad here about nine o'clock this morning. An extra freight bound for Boston stopped near the de- pot here to allow passengers to alight from a passenger train from the east. 4 switching engine in the rear of the freight train did not get the signal to stop, and continued to push after the locomotive on the front came to a standstill The result was that two cars in the center of the train were wrecked and traffic was delayed until 123:30 D. m. None of the crew was in jured.

POLO.
Game Last Night Broke Up In con"

The nolo game between New Haven and Waterbury at Bowling hall last night was one of the toughest ever seen in this city. For the first two perloos everything went along all rlght ana both teams put up an excellent gaiiie of polo. But the home team was very unfortunate in getting the ball past Swords while Roberts and Grimm seem ed to have things going their way, ana
 goal after goal was rolled up TOT the
 Tigers. who were playing very fast
 and good game in fact they gave the
 best exhibition of real scientific polo
 that they have displayed since the
 season opened At the end of the sec
 ond period the game stood 4 to in
 favor of the Brass City men. In the
 third period things waxed warm and when Roberts caged the ninth goal ex- tcitement was at fever pitch, and at this
 stage the crowd broke in on the players and surrounded both teams. From words the crowd and players came to
 blows and a regular melee ensued. Here the police interfered and but for the l efforts of the officers and New Haven players in quieting the crowd, there IS | no saving what the result would have 1 been. It is only fair to say that the spectators were to blame for the whole l affair and that the players were en- | tirely innocent of the proceedings that l took place. It is to be earnestly hoped | that in the future no more such scenes will take place and the spectators keep 1 their seats no matter what controversy l arises The summary:

A Klondike "Clean-up."

In the Century, John Sidney Webb
describes "The River Trip to the
Klondike." In telling of his visit to
the Ell Dorado mines, the author says /:
The sluice-boxes are made of boards,
machine or whip sawed, and roughly
nailed up into troughs or boxes, and
fitted together like stovepipes. Cleats
are nailed into the last boxes, called
critics." or, in some instances, shallow
auger-holes are bored into the bottom
boards. The boxes are then set up in
line on gentle slope, and the pay
dirt is shoveled in at the top, and o
stream of water, controlled by dam,
sluices over the dirt and gold. The
weight of gold is so great that it falls,
and the dirt and useless gravel washes
off, the gold being caught upon the
cleats or in the holes scattered about.
In the last boxes, quicksilver is put in
to catch the very fine gold. When
the gold is taken from the boxes it is
called q "clean up" On the day ! was
there (Aug. I'D, at No. 80 Ell Dorado
twenty thousand dollars was "cleaned
up" in twenty four hours, with only
one man shoveling in the dirt. Such
wonderful results may mean, however,
months of expensive work; but "when
it comes, it comes quick" as the say
ing is among the miners.

I'VE get razors from all over tho

grinding shop. 1.-THE razor gets worn
down SO that honing will not suffice to
put 1t into condition. The razors get
into the barber shops and the BARRIERS
send them to us-that is. they are sent
by the out-of.town BARRIERS. We have
. list Of our regular customers in the
city. and our men visit the shops to get
the razors in need of repair.
"Only large city can afford to keep
the appliances necessary for the deli
cate work on finely.tempered razors.
The principal reason for this is the
price Of grindstones and q thorough
knowledge OF the craft. The only good
grindstones for use on razors come
from Germany. Ohio has grindstones,
but they are inferior for sharpening
purposes to the German article, no mat
ter what Ohio manufacturers may say.
We now make as good razors here as
they do in England or Germany; but
we can't make them as cheap. Up to
ten years ago it was thought that the
reason that we could not temper our
razors as we'll as they do it in England
was because of a peculiar deficiency in
our water. That has been proved to
be . fallacy, as we now manufacture
razors in Massachusetts and in Newark
fully as good as they are made in Eng.
land. All English razors, you know, are
sent to Germany to be concaved. That
u because of the superiority Of the
German grindstones."

who has spent twenty-five years Of his
life in the Flowcry Kingdom.
This habit is rapidly growing" he
went on. 1t is confined to no class or
sex, but men and women, officials and
coolies, use it alike. AS soon as opium
smoking becomes a confirmed habit
with u Chinese coolie he knows that
he has about ten years to live. That
seems to be the average. | consider -

behind iron bars, if you like. and after
being imprisoned short time they be-

rave like maniacs and their sufferings
are terrible to behold. They act like
wild men.
The opium vice is running China.
The people know it and the govern

CURED few years ago and where
thousands persisted for want of food,
had been for years given over to the
production Of opium instead of food
grains. When food was short the pco-
pie found they could not he on opium,
SO they starved to death.
"A parallel to the suffering during
that famine is hardly equalcd by any
event in the history of the world.
Human beings died in the streets Of
villages and on the roads. People
turned cannibals. Some dug mp roots
and others were found on the roadside
where they had died biting the bark of
the trees. The dead were not buried,
for the living had all they could do to
take care of themselves.
Now to-day rice is onc-third higher
in price than it was score Of years
ago, because the crop has fallen off.

he will put you down and leave you

The city Of Paris with its environs

to the New York Evening Post, it
does not escape the charge, which lies
against SO many other large cities, Of

OF the national life is sucked. Only
In the slightest degree is it the parent
of the energy and distinction which it
displays on SO great a scale. In the
political field scarcely one OF the

ate or Of the chamber; not one of the

Somewhat similar results are OBJ
tanned by scanning the lists of distin.
guished scholars, artists, journalists,

come a disproportionate majority Of
the men whose success in life makes
