TRAIN WAS WRECkED--
 ENGINEER SCALDED.
Accident Occurred at Coffee Crossing While Train Was Backing Down-Tender of Engine Turned Com. pletely Over Twice and Two Cars Following Were Badly Wrecked

Ridgefield, April 1.-The s:2O train on the Ridgefield branch of the New 1ork, New Haven and Hartford rail road, was wrecked to-day while back ing down with three cars, scalding to death Engineer Horan and badly in. turing the fireman.
 The accident occurred at Coffee crossing, about two miles from this place. The train was moving at fair rate of speed when the tender jumped the track, turned over completely tWlce and threw the engine over on it's slde. The two cars following were badly smashed. Engineer Horan was pinned under his engine, where he was held for fifteen minutes directly under broken steam pipe, and the flesh was hanging in shreds from his body when finally removed by the combined efforts of trainmen and passengers.
 The fireman, whose name could not be learned, was thrown violently against a stone wall and it was some hours afterwards when he recovered consciousness. The extent of his in Juries is not yet ascertained.
 Only few passengers were in the coaches and these luckily escaped in- Jury outside of few bruises and cuts.
 The wrecking crew which arrived from New Haven shortly after the ac- cldent stated that it would be night be- fore the tracks were cleared for traf- fife.
 The Ridgefield branch road is a short stretch of track running from this place to Branchville, about seven miles away.

RUSSIAN IDEA OF OUR
 ATTITUDE ON WAR
Leading Paper Says People Are Hostile But That the Government Is Friendly Trench Finances and the Masses Are Also Divided On the Question-Jap- anese Vessels Report That They Captured Golfers

St Petersburg, April 17.-A very marked. change in tone towards the United States is noticeable in the news papers which usually voice the expres. sions of the government many of which dwell on the manifestations of friendly disposition at Washington
 The Novoe Vremya discussing the question of foreign sympathy re- marks upon the, distinction between the attitudes of the governments and peoples, the French masses for ex- ample earnestly desiring Russian victory while the French financiers are doing everything possible to bring about the conclusion of peace. In the United States the paper adds, the peo- pie appear to be hostile but the govern ment is friendly.

The Nan Patterson Case Got Another

New York, April 1.-The trial of Nan Patterson for the murder of Cae- sar Young which was postponed from last Monday was again postponed to- day when the case was called in the court of general sessions.
 The delay this time probably will be only for twenty-four hours, however, as the only thing awaited is the final ruling by Justice Gaynor on a motion asking that District Attorney Jerome be ordered to surrender the papers con fiscated when J. Morgan Smith and his wife were arrested in Cincinnati. The motion for an adjournment until to- morrow which was made by Assistant District Attorney Rand, was strenuous ly but vainly opposed by counsel for the prisoner.

COAL WAR.
Retail Dealers are to Form 8 Combination to Fight
 Mine Owners.

New York, April 17.-A meeting of retail coal dealers throughout the country has been called for this city May 10 to form a defensive alliance against the mine owners and coal dis tributors. The avowed purpose of the movement are to devise methods for the quicker delivery of coal by the operators and its better preparation for shipment.
 According to some of those interest cd the retailors claim to have received fair treatment of late at the hands of the shippers, because of which many small dealers and few large ones have been forced out of business.
 It is said the new association will not attempt to regulate prices beyond trying to secure lower freight rate con- sessions from the carrying roads.

MORE TROUBLE.
Rockmen and Excavators at New York Nay Strike
 May list.

New York, April 17.-Union Rock men and excavators in this city have decided to strike on May unless a demand for new wage schedule is granted before that date. Men to the number of about 26,OOO will be in- vOlved. The demands are for % cents an hour for rOckmen, with 30 cents an hour for overtime, and 20 cents an hour for eXcavators. Notice of the de- sired change was served on the con tractors two months ago, but no reply has been received.
 The present wages of the rockmen is $2.25 a day, and they work nine and ten hours.
 The objection of the employers to the terms is mainly against signing an agreement and thereby recognizing a union of unskilled men.

THE FARE
 WENT UP.
Agent Raised tho
 Price of Tickets.
Woman Refused to Pay and the Courts Will Decide The Fitzpatricks Appeal From Probate Court,

An interesting case was begun this afternoon in the city court, civil side, before Judge Burpee. Mrs Annie Bar rett, East Main street, on January [, paid N. F. P. Hansen, a jeweler and ocean steamship agent, $5 as deposit on three tickets from Liverpool to New York. The balance, which would make the total $47.S5, was to be paid within thirty days. That the full amount was paid was admitted by the agent, but he claims that on January 18 the rate war between the steamship companies was adjusted and the price of tickets went up with bound. The extra price the plaintiff refused to pay as it was not in her contract with the agent that she should do so, according to her side of the contention.
 The defense is that this very thing was stipulated, and that the agent gave the plaintiff sailing list with the in creased fare, showing how much she would have to pay: ..
 Before the case ended Mir llansen paid Mrs Barrett her $47.S5. How ever, the court still found for Mrs Bar rett. She had bought one ticket at the increased price and her alleged inabil- ity to purchase two more entitled her to damages. MT Hansen as agent, contracted to furnish her with three tickets at certain price which she paid and his failure to do so made nm liable to her. The case was continued for a few days to consider the amount of damages to be awarded.
 The Misses Veronica, Mary and Mar garet Fitzpatrick and their brother John have taken an appeal from the decision of the probate court in their petition to have their father, Jeremiah, removed as administrator on their mothers estate. It was claimed dur ing the hearing that Mir Fitzpatrick neglected the property. which consists of dwelling houses in the Brooklyn dis trict, and that some years ago he de- serted his wife. On that account the daughters and the son hold their father was not entitled to any benefits from the estate. But Judge Etheridge of Thomaston, who heard the case, de- cided that Mir Fitzpatrick had not abandoned his wife and was thereby entitled to share in the rents and profits. The appeal will be held in the superior court and is taken up by At tOrneys Kennedy and Cassidy.
