NEARLY FORTY WERE KILLED.
Erightful Accident to a Loaded Troll.
ley Car-Feu Forty Feet
and Capsixed.

bridgeport, Conn.,, Aug. 1s-Neariy
80 persons were killed by an accident
on the Stratford extension of the Shell
ton street railway, at four o'clock yes
terday afternoon, when a loaded troll
ley car went off the trestle over Peck g
mill pond at Oronoque, about six miles
north of Bridgeport, and sank in the
flats 40 feet below. Thus far SO people
are known to be dead, and several
more injured.
Only two persons are known to have
escaped unharmed. 1t is believed
that there were 43 passengers on the
car, but the indicator was removed by
a conductor of another car and spirit
ed away, so that at present it is impos-
sible to state accurately the number
aboard.
The scene of the accident is between
Shelton and Bridgeport.
The car was north-bound, running
towards Shelton. 1t was in charge of
Conductor John Carroll, of Bridgeport.
who was among the killed, and Motor
man Hamilton, of Bridgeport, who es-
capped by jumping.
The trestle is 440 feet long, made of
iron, with stone foundations, and was
not protected by guard rails. South
of the trestle was an incline down
which the car ran at high rate of
speed. After it ran on to the trestle
about ten feet the trucks left the
rails, and then the car continued on
the ties for about IS feet when it went
off the trestle and dropped into the
pond below, overturning completely
and upending.
When the car struck the Iour-ton
motor and the heavy trucks crushed
into it, instantly killing many of the
passengers.
Three physicians, who were passen-
gers on a car a short distance behind
arrived quickly on the scene and rem
dered all possible assistance to the in
jured.
Word was sent to Bridgeport, and
three ambulances and the police wag-
on were hurried to the scene and the
injured were taken to Bridgeport
general hospital. A morgue was i'm
provised in the main room of the town
hall at Stratford, and in very short
time % bodies were laid out waiting
identification.
The accident was witnessed by Miss
Frances Peck, who resides about 400
feet from the bridge. She was up
stairs at her home as the car was
passing, and she says that it was run
ming at an unusually fast rate.
Frank Cramer, who was bathing
near the bridge, states that the pas
sengers were all singing and in the
most joyful mood when they passed
him.
The road, which is practically con-
trolled by the Bridgeport Traction Co..
was opened for traffic last Thursday.

TREE PLANTING.

The e,Northern Pacific has let the con-
tract tor planting trees along the entire
length of its road from Bismarck to
jamestown, a distance of about one hum
dred miles. They do this for snow
breaks in winter.-Plaindealer.
Away back in 1872 and 1873 the N. P.
attempted to do this same thing on the
road from Deteoit to Bismarck. five
remember right there were three or more
gangs Of tree planters OF about twenty
men each. N. L. Shattuck formerly of
Fargo was boss of one of these gangs.
/, The tree planting methods as practiced
were ludicrous in the extreme, in the
light of present experience, and were
none too sensible even then. First the
prairie was broken in huge semi-circle
about the railroad cuts. This was done
early in the spring or any other old time
as most convenient. Then cuttings were
procured in Vermont of various sorts of
forest trees. (The president of the road,
Smith, lived in Vermont. These cut
tings were sent via freight. and the speed
was not remarkable in those times. The
tree planters then went to the middle
furrow of the semi-circular breaking,
turned back two sods, leaving about three
feet OF black subsoil exposed and in the
middle of this the cuttings were stuck
down. Later as the ''trees" did not
seem to be doing we'll, car loads of saw
dust were imported and the tree planters
carefully went round and mulched them
with halt pint of saw dust to each tree.
The cost of these operations must have
been a pretty large sum, and any one
who knows any of the requisites of sue
cessful tree planting can easily guess the
results
For the information of others, we NAV
say, that to plant cuttings, seeds and
i'small trees, ground should be broken in
proper season; backset and cultivated to
crops for two seasons before it is in
proper condition, ) 1t, also takes nearly
two years before.1any growth of even
grass or weeds will, appear on subsoil
stripped Of the sod.j Cuttings when drv
are almost worthless, and the money
spent for tree planting by the N. P. in
1873 only went to prove these facts, ex-
cept that the tree planting gangs had
good times and good wages.
The theory OF the N. P. both then and
now was all right but it is safe to say the
present planting will show at least some
growing trees as results.
