TROLLET CARS COLLIDE.
Twenty-six Passengers Injured in n
 Crash Near Woodmont.

In the midst Of the thunder storm yesterday afternoon, and in one of the most secluded spots along the Winches- ter Avenue line, two trolley cars came together in head-on collision, and it seems a miracle that some one was not killed The accident happened just west of Rocky Beach in the woods, and near the curve at the Woodmont end of this bunch of cottages, and as a result twen- ty-six passengers and both motormen were more or less shaken up and in- iured. Arthur c. Fessenden, Yale Law school 1901 was running the car going from New Haven and Motorman Arkle was on the car coming from Bridgeport, car No 9S.
 It is said that one of the motormen was trying to make switch on the other, and owing to the effect the ele- ments had on the power he was unable to run his car at rast rate of speed, and the collision was the result, in which the fronts of the cars were badly damaged. One front was smashed in upon the forward seats of the ears. The motorman running car 9S had some trouble with his car owing to the light pover and the fierce wind and clouds of dust that were flying, and for sev- eral hundred feet it ran at a slow pace, when all of a sudden the power took hold and shot it along rapidly, to crash into the Bridgeport car near the curve. There was a scream and q general scramble was made by the passengers to get out of the cars, and several Wo- men were hurt in the rush for terra firma,
 Fessenden received bad gash on his head from which blood flowed freely, and the other motorman was badly cut on the foot. One woman received scalp wound and another wrenched her arm A wrist of one of the male pas eengers was cut severely and others re- ceived cuts and bruises besides being frightened almost to death. The heavy rain and wind necessitated the pulling down of all the curtains, and for this reason the passengers had no way or heinz warned of an accident Dr. R. A. Mcdonnell happened to be on one ot the cars and he attended those who were most seriously hurt, and he stated last night that nobody was dangerously injured, although the crash was ter rble one.
 The car going west was in charge or Conductor Adams and the one coming to New Haven was in charge of Con ductor Gaffney Neither of the men was hurt. The one from New Haven was one of the Bridgeport Traction company's cars and No. 9S was one of the new double truck cars of the Win chester line.
 The passengers were carried to their destination on cars following, and car

Lively Broadsword Contest To-da

Lively Broa6sword Contest To-day
 Will be Very Exciting.
 Chevalier Xavier Orlofsly arrived in town yesterday with his horses, attend- ants and other paarphernalia used in his broadsword contests, Orlofsky is a superb specimen of athletic manhood, and Is innately modest. In regard to his two coming contests which begin to-day at the Branford Driving park, he said: This man Wilson whom am to meet is by no means an easy an- tagonst. He has had years of eXperi- ence in the German cuirassiers, was also with the Wild West show, and is one of the most finished and expert broadswordsnlen of Europe. Of course I do not fear his attacks, but there is always an element of danger when a broadswordsman is unhorsed from the usual frantic plunglng of the excited animal. I am at present in excellent condition and propose to show Captain Wilson that I have q few points about sword play that he Is yet to hear Of.

ECHOES OF SLAVERY DAYS.
Curios Cleaned From an Old Gas
 Company's Inventory.

Curios Cleaned From an Old Gas
 Company's Inventory.
 Many interesting entries are to be found in the old inventory books and other volumes of record of the New Orleans Gas Light company, which furnish hitherto unpublished history of the second oldest gas company in America, during the cloudy and tenn pestuous days of the early sixties in the south.
 These records tell of the losses sus- tained by concerns doing business in New Orleans during the war, and, for thta matter, give an idea of the finan- cial vicissit udes of incorporated com- panies in the other old slave states.
 Bankson Taylor, manager of the New Orleans Lighting company, after going or CT the books of the New Orleans Gas Light company, says the money losses sustained by the corporation through the emancipation proclamation of Pres ident Lincoln were $51, 1850. This amount represented the value of sixty two slaves owned by the company at the time of the occupying of New Or leans by the Federal forces.
 These slaves have been accumulated by the company since 1885, or the year of the organization of the New Orleans Gaslight and Banking company. While the company maintained few slaves who were put to work about the station in 1886, the sweeping substitu- ton of such labor for white labor was moi made until 134S as the following extract from the minutes of the month- ly meeting, March 6, of that year, tes- tify:
 "A report from the superintendent and engineer of the company. made at the suggestion of the president. upon the practicability of substituting slave labor for white labor at the station and on the street mains, as well as lighting the public lamps, was received and read, and after discussion the appa- rent economy of slave labor, from the estimate of the engineer, determined the board to authorize the engineer to make the experiment and on motion it was resolved:
 That the engineer of the company be authorized to purchase from time to time as in his judgment he may deem advisable, with the sanction of the president, such slaves as will answer the purpose contemplated, either as stokers and laborers, as well as the ne- cessary mechanicse to supply the place of the white labor now of necessity em- ployed at so large an expenditure, and that the treasurer be and he is hereby

 a cool one thrown in now and then
 Wary the monotony, we would not | Ak so much about it. We have been ~ ssst fortunate in having a compara-
 sely low degree of humidity, yester n Ay's record not going above 60 until h storm broke. Had it been up in

Indica fttons are that the glorious Fourth will he too warm for overcoatS but nervous folks will probably wear .ear-tabs, as usual.
 Patrolman William H. Wrinn, of the 3(srand avenue station, was forced yes- herday morning to leave off duty be- {rause of the extreme heat. He was taken sick a few hours after going on lduty and reported back to the police lstation. There it was found that he was i'll and Captain Brewer relieved him from duty. He returned to his home, No. 159 Fillmore street. Seven firenen on the New York, New Haven nnd Hartford railroad have collapsed from heat during the past few days. The fireman has to bear the brunt of the heat as he must work almost con Itinl,ously in hot blast of air during the run. The engineer has a chance to IcooI off through the window of the cab. sSeveral horses drawing ice wagons and other heavy loads have collapsed with in a few days. Two or three have died and others have only been saved by \aronpt treatment. The hoods and Istrow hats which have been adopted by nmany humane drivers have undoubted- lIy saved much suffering among the horses.

authorized, to accept the acts of sale of such negroes and pay for their cost"
 From the time the order was issued, the gas company, at various intervals, increased the number of it's slaves to sixty-two, when all were released by the proclamation of the president in 1863.
 The inventory of these slaves gave the name of the slave, the year bought present age, cost price, and present value. It is interesting to note how the value of a slave changed from year to year. For instnce, a young fellow, Nat, was bought for thirteen hundred dollars, and his price in five years was marked down to six hundred dollars, on account of some weakness he had. Crawford and wife were bought in 1886 for twenty eight hundred dollars, and in 1862 were valued at nine hundred dollars. Both had grown too old to do any appreciable amount of labor for the company, but their investment was not a bad one. Crawford's wife bore six children who were given an aggre- gate value of twenty mine hundred dol lars.
 As the slaves advanced in years they were gradually marked down in value, as. for instance, Leonard. who cost his owners twelve hundred dollars at the age of forty three, was reckoned as be- ing worth only four hundred dollars fourteen years after. Then, on the oth- CT hand, the young slaves, as they ma tured, increased In value during the years they rendered good service to the company. Henry Barnes, when twen- ty-nine years of age, was bought for seven hundred and fifty dollars, and at the date of President Lincoln's procla- nation of emancipation, was valued at thousand dollars.-New Orleans Times Democrat.
