Just Starting on Long Run When He
 Discovered a Broken Axle.

Saybrook, Jan 29.A serious acci- dent was, probably averted here at 3 o'clock by the watchfulness of the en- gineer of the midnight express from New York to Boston.
 Train No ?, leaving New York at midnight bound for Boston. over the Shore line division of the New York, New Haven x Hartford railroad was slightly delayed at this junction by a freight train, No 562. The delay was but for two or three minutes, and when the express, made up entirely of sIeep- ing cars, started up again, the engi- neer, William Knapp, discovered that something was wrong. Upon inyesti- gation he found that a journal on the rear axle of the tender had become hot and had cracked the axYe.
 The engine was immediately taken from train 562 and attached to the ex- press which proceeded with a delay or but about ten minutes. Not one of the passengers in the s.eepers was aware of the accident.
 Had the train after starting bean run at full speed slight jar would nave derailed the engine and a fatal accident occurred.

FOG BOUND AT BOSTON,

Trains Behind Time Because Engfs
 neers Couldn't See Signals.
 Boston, Jan 29.- Railroad traffic and shipping were still fog bound early to-day and there was much inconverl- fence to business in consequence. Trains on all the railroads entering Boston were behind time, due to tha inability of engineers to observe sig nal lights until close upon them. At times half a dozen trains were practi- cally stalled at different points.
 Tn the harbor navigation had to be carried on with the greatest care. Few vessels entered or left the port during the early hours.
 The fog continued well into the fore. noon, but by 10 o'clock conditions had improved and the atmosphere was much clearer.

 cussion-25c Assess
 ment Voted Down.

The Bridgeport papers of yesterday s date contained accounts of an ominous character. They implied that the troll ley employees of that town were to hold ''an important meeting in the even- ing and that the business to be dis cussed was the question of striking in sympathy with the local situation. Part of the Standards account is as follows:
 Considerable importance is attach ed to special meeting of the local branch of the Amalgamated Associa- ton of Street Railway Rmployes, which will be held at 80 o'clock to- morrow morning, ill the headquarters of the Carpenters union in the Studio building on Fairfield avenue. Mem berS of the union are non committal concerning the object of the meeting, which is to be believed for the purpose of discussing the Waterbury strike.
 ''In Waterbury the conductors and motormen are employed by the Connec- ticut Railway and Lighting com pany, which controls the trolley lines | i'm this city and vicinity. Non-union | workmen have replaced the strikers and the company is operating it's lines. The strikers are running buses and 2 settlement of the difficulty seems re- mote, as all negotiations toward that end have been abandoned.' 1 The Telegram Union of this morning says:
 ] This morning shortly after 2 o'clock the local nolleymen's union met at their headquarters in the Stu dio building on Fairfield avenue, but seemed to be in no hurry about the consideration Of matters which it Is said are to be taken up for action. Those questioned previous to entering the hall were greticent and no informa- tion of reliable nature as to the ob- ject of the gathering could De gleaned. That the Waterbury situation was to be discussed. however, was not denied. On the outside it was said that positive action would be taken. but those in a l position to know would neither affirm or. deny the assertion.
 ! At 3:30 this morning the union was still in session and all efforts to ob- tain information, were met with the reply: We will be in session for quite long time yet and cannot say now what we will do.
 Mir Collins, member of the local ex- ecutive committee, said this morning that he had no knowledge Of what the above meeting was called for
 Bridgeport, Jan 29-The trolley mems union held meeting to-day and a motion to levy an assessment liof twenty-five cents a man for the benefit of the striking trolley men of Waterbury was voted down.

 The North Main street line was op erated last evening, and soon, it is said the whole system will be running nights.

PEARSALLylLLE STORY.
Trolley Conductor Solicited Pas. sengers Given a Gall by a Man He Asked to Ride Woman Said to Have
 Left the Car.

Here is a story which was told to a Democrat reporter at noon to-day. It was brought to the office by a person who claimed to have been on the ground when the incident occurred. We give it just as it came to us as follows: This morning, while trol- Icy car was standing at the terminus of the North Main street line. and while a few people were waiting for q bus which failed to materialize, q man who was hurrying along to his work was hailed by the trolley conductor and asked why hekdidn't get on and ride' This is not the kind of language the conductor is said to have used, but it will answer for the purpose. The fellow on the street talked back and for time things looked like scrap, but as the car was not moving and the gentleman from the s'Klondike" kept pushing his way forward, pretty soon the distance between the men became so far that they couldn't hear each other. There was one passenger III the car, lady who lives i'll Pearsallsville and works not far from the Nauga- tuck station. After the car started the conductor went inside and engaged the lone passenger in conversation. She didn't appear to take much stock ill what he had to say and is reported acting as though she wanted to get out and walk Well, to make a long story short, and avoid saying things that wouldn't look just right in print the lady is said to have left the car at Division street and footed it all the way to where she is employed. If MT Sewell cares to inquire into this matter he can learn the name of the young woman who is reported to have been in the car by calling at the Demo crat office.
 The conductor on the Oakville line who was drunk the other night has been discharged. e
 It is said that when the strike is set, tied, if it ever is, that there will be three or four inspectors instead of one. Inspector Missel says that three or four spectors are required for such large line.
 It is reported that Detective Farrell, who has charge of the strike breakers, left yesterday for New York, or some other place. to bring some more strike breakers here. The ranks of the occu- pants at the Hotel de Sewell have been diminished considerably of late by de sertions and discharges.
 Only two cars went up North Main street this noon. Before the strike
 half a dozen used to make this trip, and everyone of them was always load
 Cd from stem to stern. Half car
 could carry all the passengers that were in the two this noon and then they would have plenty of room. There is no truth in the report that
 Miller was attacked last night. He was
 on Exchange place this afternoon with
 a number of the non- union men and bore no signs of a beating. The report
 was that he was assailed in the office
 of hotel and given terrible drub- 1 bing. @
