Plunged Toward a Deep Stream, but Was
Stopped by Big Pile Of Wire.
BAGGAGE MASTER SERIOUSLY HURT.
Several Others Reported Injured, but Latest &C.
counts Say That no One Was Ksd--Pador
Also Went Down Emhankment.

Wilton, Conn, Nov ga sensa-
tional message was received here at
1O;40 a. IN. stating that the Pittsfield
express, for New York. on the Dam
bury and Norwalk division of the New
York. New Haven and Hartford Rail-
road company, passing through George
town at 1913. had been wrecked. The
message asked that physicians be dts
patched TO the scene. which is said to
be about six miles from Wilton. No
details have been received.
Meagre details received later state
that the train was express No. l03 from
Pittsheld to New York. The accident
took place in Georgetown Centre, at a
point where the tracks of the railroad
run along high embankment parallel
with a deep stream of water. An axle
and fiange on the baggage car broke
causing the car TO leave the track and
plunge down the embankment. The car
struck an enormous pile Of wire, owned
by the Gilbert q Bennett Manufacture
ing company and was thus saved from
plunging into the stream, Several other
cars of the train, it is reported, were
derailed and a panic ensued. A mes
sage was sent To Wilton announcing
that several had been killed and that
many were badly injured. and doctors
were summoned. A later report states
| that no lives had been lost, but that
| the baggagemaster and several others
have been seriously and perhaps fatally
injured.
A still later report states that par
or ear was hurled down the embank-
ment: that the regular coaches of the
train kept the rails and. taking sid
ing, collided with some stationary
freight cars. The express locomotive
kept the main track and sustained no
damage.
The baggagemaster is said to be
Pittsfield man: one brakeman was bad
ly injured and several passengers more
or less injured. 1t is now believed that
no one was killed.
The latest report from the scene of
the wreck says: Two persons, Baggage
Master George Fitzgerald, OF Pittsfield.
Mass, and Herbert Bennett, a brake
man. of New York were seriously in
iured. the latter perhaps, fatally, and
several passengers were painfully
bruised or rendered unconscious by the
shock.

ATTACHMENT
FOR S125,O0O.

and Harvey To-day.
BY UNITED TRACTION COMPANY
Suit to Recover Money Alleged 10 Have Been
Loaned Interstate Road.
CLAIM MADE BY THE DEFENDANTS.
Have Suit For S500,000 Against Traction Co.
Pending In New Yoh--Latter's Action Is 10
Frigh!en Them Into Withdrawing Il.

The old Interstate railroad contro-
versy came up today with new interest
when an attachment for si25,000 was
recorded at the City Hall against VIII
liam A. Walton individually. Henry w.
Harvey and Samuel a. Otis. both indi-
vidually and as co-partners and Will
liam n. Otis individually. The attach
ment was levied i'm the interest of the
United Traction and Electric co. Of
New Jersey. through their attorneys in
this city, Edwards e. Angel.
MIR. Samuel a. Otis wac seen at his
Office. Isl Eddy street. by a reporter, but
said he did not know Of the attachment
having been levied
He supposed II was an outgrowth of
threats made by the traction company
recently that If he and the other gem
tlemen attacked did not withdraw a
suit for S500o00 which they were press
ing in New York against the traction
company, they would be sued. This
suit is for breach OF contract, Mr.. Otis
said. because the traction company
failed to- purchase the Interstate road
according to agreement. Mr.. Otis stated
that another owner in the interstate
line. Mr.. William III. Haskell of Paw
tucket. had been similarly threatened.
and had within two weeks Withdrawn
from the New York suit.
The Providence news. (Providence [R.I.]) 1891-1906, 1898-11-26

Attorney Angel when seen said that
there was no mystery about the mat
ter whatever. The parties attached as
owners OF the Interstate road had made
certain representations 10 the traction
ccmpeny at the time of the proposed
purchase OF the road These were, Mr..
Angel said without foundation, but
upon them the traction company mad
advanced over 100000. TO recover the
amount with interest and costs the suit
has been begun and the attachment
had been levied.

RAILING AN ALLIANCE.
Continued British Expressions il
 Favor of a Union.

London, March 27.-A diplomatist speaking today of the suggested all liance between the United States and Great Britain, said:
 Tt is not any stretch of imagina- tiOn to say that such a union has been longed for by the best men in Great Britain for many years, not only be- cause of the genuine wish for closer bonds of friendship, but because it is known fact that all the statesmen of Europe realize that a close alliance between America and Great Britain would constitute, not only the surest guarantee of the peace of the world but would afford proof that the reign of law and individual liberty is to be extended for the benefit of mankind, in spite of the efforts to eXtinguish it made by reactionary rulers and gov ernments"
 The weekly newspapers pay consid- erable attention to the subject. The Speaker says:
 Ut is impossible for the statesmen of either country to find a nobler ob- ject to which to devote their energies and their lives. Whatever the actual relations in which the governments of London and Washington regard the matter, the American people may be assured that if they wish for an agree ment the people of Great Britain also wish for one. We do not wish to ask the Americans to fight our battles, just as we feel convinced that they are far too proud to desire that we should fight theirs. But what we do wish and what wise men on both sides must earnestly desire is that each nation shall feel that it has in the other a frienda nd ab rother on whose sym pathy it can rely in time of need.'
 The extreme friendliness of the Brit ish foreign office, which sentiment pre- vails in all the departments of the government, can be gauged by the statement made yesterday by a high official of the British foreign office in regard to the alleged designs of Great Britain upon Hawaii. The official re- ferred to, as already cabled, said: Nothing is further from Great Britain's intentions than to interfere in any way with the existing regime in Hawaii. No steps in that direction

A CUTTING OF HALTER STRAPS.
Tied by an Enthusiast in Tree
 Culture.

A Phoenix gentleman of this city, whose residence is conveniently sltu- ated with respect to place of public worship, is engaged in what seems to be vain attempt to preserve row Of fine shade trees from destruction by the horses of the parishioners. The trees have already been stripped of the bark on the street side as high as the horses can reach. Some time ago the owner of the trees wrote to the pastor about it. If the pastor took the matter up, and no doubt he did, for he is a considerate gentleman, the only mo- ticeable result was that there was a larger attendance at church and con- sequently more horses to be tied to the trees. Then signs plainly printed informing the general public that the trees were designed for shade and not for hitching posts were conspicuousiy posted. But the meaning was misin- terpreted and the business of tying the horses to the trees went on with greater enthusiasm than ever. During service one night last week the trees were occupied as usual. The owner united the horses one by one, led them into an alley near by and tied them to fences and other immovable objects. And they were tied hard and ingeniously. At the conclusion of the service the owners of the horses were at first unable to find them. but they prospected about in the neighborhood until they located them in the alley. But it was even more diff cult matter to dis-locate them, the tree owner had been SO painstaking in mak- ing the connections.
 The parishioners were not able to unravel his system in the dark and probably could not have done so in the

were ever contemplated. On the con trary, her majesty's government mas recognized that the United States mas the foremost interests in Hawai-, ana that it is natural and inevitable tnaL Hawaii should be under American ln- fluence."
 The Spectator, noting the good feei- ing expressed in the United States' says:
 Ut does not flow from any desire to court the old country because It may be useful, but is due to the reported coalition on the continent against England"

THE BANKER AND THE FARMER

The Hon. J. H. Churchill illustrates the staying qualities of alfalfa by say ing:
 "The alfalfa farm is a dividend paying investment through all kinds of seasons, an insurance against hail, as well as a guarantee from drouth. I have seen a field in bloom cut to the ground by a June hail, and in less than thirty days blooming again for the harvest. What other crop will do that? I believe this is the best paying business in the west today"
 There are many men in the west to- day who have recognized the truth of what MT. Churchill says. The crop failures of recent years showed that it paid to raise alfalfa. One of the best known newspaper writers in Nebras- ka, MT. J. W. Johnson, told in the Nebraska State Journal, on November 21 last, a story that illustrated this fact graphically. He had been driving near Culbertson, in the western part of Nebraska, and his companion stopped suddenly and pointed out a brick bank building in town and a white farm house not far from town. Those buildings concerned the careers of two men. One was a banker who had come out into Nebraska about if teen years before. He had been coun- | ty treasurer of one of the best known counties of Iowa, and had brought with him to Nebraska nearly $30,000, with which he started bank. He did very well, until hard times came along, and then he got into difficulties. The other man was a Russian peasant, who came to the same place a year or two later. It took about all his savings to get to his destination, so that it is said of him that when he reached Gull bertson he was as poor as a rat |" i That man got hold of a bushel of al- falfa seed, and he raised as much of the hay as he could from it, increasing his crop year by year. He raised cat tie and hogs as well. He always had crops when corn and wheat and the other cereals failed, and he always had livestock to sell. He soon so prospered that he gave to each of his 1 sons farm at marriage. and to his ! daughter, who was married not long ago, he gave $1,000 in cash-an un- l heard-of wedding gift for a farmer to make out in that territory. This al- falfa grower had considerable business to do with the bank. According to MT. Johnson, when he found that the bank was In trouble he demanded his money. The bank went down, but the farmer remained ill control, and the banker had to quit. Alfalfa for that man had not only withstood all the storms of nature, but had helped him i to survive the financial storms that had swept over that region. Those 1 farmers in the west who have raised alfalfa with care and intelligence are not among the people who are dis trssingly poor.-Franklin Matthews, in Harper's Weekly.
