only by the glare from the burning wreckage men stumbled about over
 corpses, which fell from the ruins and which after the flames had died out were hauled from the debris. There 1 they lay along the track, some covered | by blankets which had been brought by l farmers who had gathered at the place from the surrounding country. People i came hurrying from the nearby vil- lages and these, with the help of those who escaped on train No. 40 did what they could.
 The immigrants who were lucky enough to get out alive from the last l one or two immigrant cars, were un-
 able to speak English and could give
 no idea of the number of people that
 were in each car. The conductor of
 this train could not be found. For this
 reason the estimate of the number of
 dead must be considered purely as ap-
 proximate. Railroad doctors and others agreed that the number must approach 100 men when the relief trains arrived as many of the injured as could be car ried were taken to Montpelier, O., Peru, Ind, and to the hospitals at Adrian, Mich
 At the Union station in this city dur ing the night were many sad episodes. Relatives and friends of passengers who were known to have been on the wrecked train besieged the railroad of flcials with Inquiries and entreaties.
 A special relief train arrived at Adrian at a. m. bringing the bodies of four men and one woman, and a stretcher of burned and blackened pieces of dead humanity. One of the dead men was a drover from Kansas City, who had SLIGO in money and gold watch on his person. His name is not known.
 Wabash train No. arrived at the Union station from the west several hours late. 1t carried no dead or in- jured, but brought Engineer Strong and three uninjured passengers of No. f. Strong reiterated his previous state ments to the effect that his telegraphic order read to pass at Sand Creek and he supposed No. 1Ss order was to meet at that place. All the cars of Mo- IS were smashed and burned. Of the eight coaches on No. only one car was destroyed. It was a New York Central day coach. Fifteen or twenty of that cars passengers are dead. None of the occupants of the other coaches of the eastbound train was killed Full ly sixty of No. 13s passengers are be- lieved to be dead Every occupant of both trains was badly shaken, shocked and bruised The few passengers who reached Detroit were still in a nervous and excited state and they declined to speak for publication in the early morn ing hour.

YESTERDAYS POLO GAMES.



 noon.
 Waterbury, Nov 2S.-In decidedly interesting contest this afternoon the Waterbury team defeated the Elm City aggrega tion by the score of 10 to [. It was fast, scientific polo from the be- ginning and hot enough to suit the most chronic kickers. Bone was not in his usual form, and in all-around team work the Waterbury team excelled. Menard, Griffin and Tarrant put up the best exhibitions offered this season and eluded "Gentleman Jim's" rushes re- peatedly. Cunningham's rushes were phenomenal Quite a crowd of New Haven polo enthusiasts attended the game. The Blues had hard lines on three occasions, the ball refusing to stay in the cage after it had been safe- ly put past the goal keeper. Bone was suffering from a severe cold and did not play up to his usual standard, but the remainder of the New Haven team played much superior game, as far as science counted, than their opponents. The score: Waterbury 10, New Haven 7 Rushes--Tarrant 9, Cunningham 9. Stops-Berry 31, Sutton 8. Referee Messer. Timer-Lahey. Attendance One thousand.

 Yesterday morning on the Savin Rock baseball grounds the football teams of the Register and Union played a game and when the referees whistle announced the close of the contest the score stood to 5. A crowd of 200 saw the game.

QUEER WAYS OF MINK AND MAR
 THIN

| 'The Hudson Bay marten, the little 1 furbearer whose skin Is ever popular
 and at times exceedingly valuable. is
 still plentiful in that region of fur bear-
 ers," said W. B. Salmon, one time a
 trapper for the Hudson Bay company,
 but I believe 1t would have been vir-
 tually extinct there long ago if it were not for habit it has of making yeriodi-
 cal disappearances, of which I never
 heard any satisfactory explanation.
 These dlsapearances occur every ten years. Where the animals go no one knows. No dead ones are ever found, and no one has yet discovered any evil
 dence of their migration to any other region A few martens, of course, re-
 main on their old feeding grounds, but during the season of the disappearance of their fellows none of them will touch the bait in trap, and, conse- qusntly, none are caught. The next year the martens are back again in their old haunts, as numerous as ever, and for ten years more submit to being caught.
 'The Hudson Bay martens seem to be the only ones of the species that have InlS SCTdIlSt HdUIt. LiIC ALuhS 1NPCiAoA martens don't waste any of their time
 in disappearing voluntarily, but are found at the old stand year in and year out, housing themselves in hollow trees in the deepest woods and making life perpetual burden to birds squirrels rabbits and other small game on which they prey.
 "The Lake Superior marten has one predilection of the palate in which ne resembles the bear That is passion for honey He will line wild bee to it's home with the precision of the most ex- pert bee hunter, and the hidden sweets of that bee colony will have to be in most inaccessible place if the marten doesn't soon revel in them. Like the male mink the male marten has an oyerpowering love, not only for his own offspring, but for the offspring of his fellow martens--such peculiar love, in- deed. that if 1t wasn't for the instinct and shrewdness of the mother martens the race of martens would nave been unknown long ago. The male marten IS so fond of his young that he will eat them up whenever he happens to find them. Them other, therefore, bears her young to some secret hiding place, and keeps them hidden until they are half grown and able to defy the cannibalis- tic love of their sire. The female mink exercises the same instinct with her progeny, for the father of them, as fond as he is of trout and other fish, will leave his fishing any time to dine on his interesting little family" ."-Boston

City Championship Decided Yesterday
 Morning.
 The great rivalry which existed be- tween the Hillhouse and Boardman high school teams was settled yester day morning in a well played game of football at the Yale field in which Boardman won by the score of 20 to 0. Boardman was heavier. man for man, and played sharper all round game than their opponents. Considering the light weight of the Hillhouse men their game was plucky one. The game closed the intercholastic season in this city; season that has been a success ful one for Boardman, having lost but one game, that being to Hartford.

POLO CROWD DISAPPOINTED.

Blues Detained on Their Way from
 Waterbury Owing to a Smash-Up on
 the Railroad.
 The large crowd that went to the lo- cal rink last night expecting to see a rattling game of polo between the Blues and the Meriden team were sadly dis appointed. Just at the time when the audience was expecting to see Captain Canavans men appear on the floor the latter were stalled on the railroad just beyond Union City, on the Naugatuck division of the Consolidated railroad. Manager Aufort made strenuous efforts to get communication with New Haven in order to inform the audience of their plight, but was told that it was impos- sible to do so until Ansona was reach- ed, which was not until 9:30 last night, too late to be of any avail.
