tho Helpless People.

Bridgeport, Conn, Aug. s.-Nearly
40 ne, sons were killed by an accident
on the Stratford extension OF the Shell
ton Street Railway Company at 4
o'clock today, when Il loaded trolley car
went off the trestle over Peck S
millpond at Ororoque, about SIX miles
north Of Bridgeport, and sank in the
flats 40 feet below. Thus far 36 per-
sons aie known to be dead, and several
more injured.
Only two persons are known to have
escaped unframed. 1t is believed that
there were 43 passengers on the car, but
the indicator was removed by con-
ductor of another car and spirited
away, so that at present it is impossi-
bic to say accurately the number
aboard.
The scene of the accident is midway
between Shelton and Bridgeport. The
car was northbound, running toward
Shelton. The trestle is 440 feet long,
made of iron, with stone foundations,
and was not protected by guard rails.
South of the tlestle is an incline down

The car continued on the ties about 10
feet. when it went off the tleste and
dropped into the pond below, overturn-
ing and completely upendng
When the Cal struck, the fout ton
motor and the heavy trucks crushed
into 1t, instantly killing many Of the
passengers. Three physicians. who
were passengers on n car a short dis
lance behind. arrived quickly and rem
dered all possible assistance to the in
jured.
Word was sent to Bridgeport and
three ambulances and police wagon
were hurried to the scene, and the
injured Were taken to Bridgeport gem

vised in the main room OF the town
hall at Stratford, and in very short
time % bodies were laid out awaiting

In Science Ir. Judd of the Depart
mcnt of Agriculture states that no less
than fifty different species of birds are
engaged as weed dcStroyers and there
are more than sixty species of weeds
which they help to eradicate. The
blackbrdS. the hobulnk, the dove. and
the English sparrow do much good in
this way. but the "English sparrow, in
spite of the services ii renders in con.
Stunning weed seed, is n pest because
of its dcspoling buildings. and because
of its extensive pillaging of fruit and
grain. The native spaToWs. on the
contrary, have no such noXious habits.
and are much more efficient as weed

weeds which are not touched by other
birds. the thistle. ragWeed, and dande-

cultivation can do much to eradicate
these noXious plants. but probably the

A Clergyman in England is adyocat
ing the use of a concealed camera ir
the pulpit which could be snapped
with a button, unknown to the congre
CATION. This innovation, he thinks
would prevent much Of the SHOCKING in

he says, hy showing these photograph,
to the bacllSlid.ng ones, they would be-

suggestion is novel and deserving the
ingenuity of a Yankee: but we should
think that the surest way of keeping
the congregation awake lies in preach
ing Interesting sermons.
