COLLISION ON NAUGATUCK ROAD
There Were No Serious Accidents and
 Passengers Were Transferred.


 There Were No Serious Accidents and
 Passengers Were Transferred.
 There was collision on the Naug- atuck road yesterday afternoon near Hop Brook that threatened to result seriously for several persons, but for tunately no one was badly hurt. Pas senger train No 1921, south bound, ill charge of Conductor Beers, had reached point below Union City when it collided with an extra freight that was backing onto q siding. The engineer failed to notice anything ahead and struck the forward car of the freight, smashing it and the ten der attached thereto and breaking one cylinder of the passenger engine. En- gineer Schofield was thrown against the lever and had a steel truss which he wore broken to pieces. The fireman jumped and landed on barbed wire fence. After few hours delay the passengers were transferred to an other train and all proceeded on their journey quite satisfied that nothing worse had happened. The New Ha- ven polo team were among the passen- gers. The accident occurred shortly before , o'clock and the gathering darkness prevented the engineer of the passenger train from seeing the freight. The train was travelling at q speed of fifteen miles an hour at the time. Superintendent George w.. Beach told a Democrat reporter to- day that the matter was being investi- gated and that lie expected the re sponsiblity would be placed by to- night. A big crowd was attracted to the scene of the wreck.

Not In Order

In a certain Lanarkshire village a
meeting was called to consider the adj
visibility of erecting a bridge over a
creek which had been heretofore cross
ed by means of stepping stones.
The schoolmaster, who presided over
the meeting, warmly advocated the
erection of a bridge in an eloquent
speech, when a local worthy, who was
something of a character and noted for
his outspokenness,, got up and inter
rupted:
