Nearly forty persons were killed by
an accident on the StrRtford extension
of the Shelton Street Railway Company
at Bridgeport, Conn, Sunday after
noon, when a loaded trolley car went
off the trestle over Peck's millpond at
Oronoque, about six miles north OF
the city, and sank in the fats forty
feet below. Thus far thirty-one people
are known to be dead and several more
injured.
Only two persons are known to have
escaped uhharmed.
II is believed that there were forty
three passengers on the car, but the
indicator was removed by conductor
of another car and spirited away, so
that at present it is impossible to state
accurately the number aboard.
The scene Of the accident is midway
between Shelton and Bridgeport The
car was north-bound, running toward
Shelton. It was in charge of Conduc
tor John Carroll, of Bridgeport, whC
was among the killed, and Motormar
Hamilton, of Bridgeport who escaped
by jumping.
The trestle 440 feet long, made o
iron, with stone foundations, and wa
not protected by guard rails. Soutl
of the trestle is an incline down whicl
the car ran at a high rate of speed
After it ran onto the trestle for abou
ten feet, the trucks left the rails an
then the car continued on the ties fo
about seventy-fve feet, when it wen
of the trestle and dropped into tn
pond below, overturning completed

trucks crushed into it, instantly xii

Three physicians, who were passel
gers on car short distance benin
: arrived quickly on the scene and re
a dered all possible assistance to the i

and three ambulances were hurried

COweta County Negro Removed From
Newman Jail Under Military Escort.
John Mullins, the Coweta county

Mullins was accompanied to Atlanta

the Newman military company with
all their army accoutrements. The

At Bar Harbor, Maine, Sunday,
while a crowd Of eEcursionists were

ing more than 100 into the water.
Twenty bodies had been recovered
up to 5 o'clock Sunday afternoon, and
it is estimated that the dead will num-
Der thirty or more. Seventeen were
drowned and three died from the ter
riblo experience of immersion in the
water and injuries while struggling for

COLORED BISHOPS START THE MOVE
Committees Are Appointed To Take Hold
OF the Matter A. Council Meeting
Held In Birmingham, Ale.

The African Methodist Episcopal
Presiding Elders Council Of Georgia
and Alabama, which had benin session
at Birmingham, Ala, since Tuesday,
closed up it's business Thursday.
The most popular paper presented
al the meeting was by Rev. /. H. Fitz-
patrick, ID, Of Opelika, on Recon
mendations to the General Conference"
II favored the election Of six new bish-
ops-two for the United States, one for
south Africa, one for west Africa, one
for Cuba, Hayti and Porto Rico, and
one for California, Hawaii and the
Philippine islands.
Rev. j. A. Wood, of Valdosta, Ca, one
of the oldest members of the council,
read strong and interesting paper on
Memories of twenty-five Years Ago.
A great sensation was created when
the committee on the state Of the coun-
try reported a resolution recommend
ing that a committee be appointed by
the council to set before the United
States congress the deplorable condi-
ton of the negro population in several
of the southern states aud to petition
congress for 800, 900, 900 to start
line of steamships between the United
States and Africa, in order to enable
all negroes who may desire to do so
to emigrate to Africa.
Bishop Turner, who presided at the
council, explained that he did not de-
sire the government to carry emigrants
free to Africa, but to take them direct
and at reasonable cost. He said that
European immigrants are landed IN
this country at from $40 to $40 each.
"But," said he, Gin going to Africa
one must go via England, thus cross
ing the ocean twice at a cost OF SlOO.
The resolutions we're debated pre-
and con, but the vote was practically
unanimous. The committee appointed
is as follows:

old men objected to this, and argued
so sfoutlv for the maintenance OF the
ancient traditions Of the people that
the young men gave way. Two veter-
ans were selected to be candidates for
chief, and the chairman OF the council
conducted one to the eastern side OF
the tree and the other to the western.
