A VERY CLOSE CALL
TRAIN WAS WRECKED AT SOUTH
 NoRWALK.
Presence of Mind of Engineer Averts What Might Have Been Bad
 Accident on the
 Main Line.

South Norwalk. Conn, March 10. -Darien had a narrow escape from being the scene of a train wreck yesterday morning, and it might well nigh have been very serious one.
 One of the east bound trains re- ceived telegraphic orders to take the siding at Darien and allow one of the fast Boston express trains to pass 1t. There was not much time to lose, as the express was fast over- hauling the freight. The engineer of the freight backed into the spur track in a hurry.
 For some time large elm trees and wildwood logs have been shipped from here to points in New York state, where they are made into but ter dishes and boxes, and for some days, there nat being freight cars ready to receive the goods, these logs had been piled near the side of the spur track just below the signal tower. They were too near the track and the freight could not pass them. Ther was not room on the spur for the train unless it was done how ever, so the engineer put on all steam and backed into them. The big logs flew in all directions and the freight just made the siding with the ex- press laundering past.
 Fortunately the freight train was not derailed, though the steps were torn off the caboose and the rear platform was quite badly damaged.

Washington, March 10.-In com pliance with the joint resolution of congress approved March ', 1906, in the matter of the relation of com mon carriers to coal and oil and the transportation of the same, the in- terstate commerce commission has di- rected that a proceeding of inquiry and investigation be instituted at once and that such proceedings be set for hearing at such time and place and that such persons be re- quired to appear and testify or to produce books, documents and papers as the commission may hereafter di- rect and further that the inquiry be carried on in the meantime by such other means and methods as may be deemed appropriate.
 Secretary Taft today made the fol lowing statement: 'I am authorized by the president to say that he has made no decision as to the selection of any one to succeed MT Associate Justice Brown. He has been in con- sultation with Secretary Root, Atty Gen Goody and myself, the three lawyers of the cabinet in the matter and no decision has been reached"
 President Roosevelt announced to- day that he had decided to appoint Wilfred B. Hoggatt to be governor of Alaska. MT. Hoggatt is resident of Juneau and will succeed John G. Brady, recently resigned.

STORM IN MAINE.
Communication Between Cities Still
 Cut Off.

Portland, Me-, March 10.-C0m- munication by telegraph and tele- phone between Maine cities which was interrupted by yesterdays storm, remained cut of to-day. Under the weight of the wet, heavy snow. the high northerly gale carried down wires and poles in great numbers. Wires also which had resisted snow and ice, succumbed to falling limbs which the wind had torn from trees.
 The breaking of pole on Fore street near the foot of Exchange street in this city threw dozens of telephone and telegraph wires across high voltage electric light wires, last night and both telephone and telegraph business collapsed. Two horses wer killed by coming in con tact with the live wires.
 Before telegraphic communication was entirely cut of. word was re- ceived that 15 poles were down just outside Rockland, l5 between Bruns- wick and Freeport and smaller num- bers at other points. Further than this 1t has been impossible to learn how large territory was affected by the storm. Passenger trains are moving but all freight trains have been cancelled owing to the danger of running them without being able to transmit orders by telegraph. The steamer St. Croix did not leave for her regular trip west last night.

LIQUOR LICENSE SQUABBLE
GARRETT SAVERS TROUBLES
 ARE COMING FAST.
Two Suits Brought Against Him To- day for $500 and $2.500

BROOKLYN IS WORKING.
Citizens Across the Bridge Want All
 That They are Entitled to.

That They are Entitled to.
 Although there did not seem to be much interest taken in the plan of the Brooklyn people submitted by John Henderson at the meeting in Odd Eel lows hall last evening, still as MT Henderson was named on the con- mittee he is likely to persuade his col leagues to use their influence for local station in Brooklyn. The speak CT knew what he was talking about when he said that no city in the state spent any money on approaches to railroad stations. The only place that has a very handsome approach is in Hartford which is ornamented by Bushnell park and the greater part of that was given by Mir Bushnell and the railroad did the rest. The railroad whether the city does or does not, will build suitable approach to its handsome structure, is the argument of the Brooklyn people. "What an inl- posing sight for visitor standing on the platform of the new union station in the west end to look on one side of him and see B beautiful flower gardens and shrubbery, while on the other he could behold nothing but a long string of dirty looking freight cars" was one of MT Henderson's sentences last evening. It seems that the man from this section Is up against hopeless fight but he should be given credit for the manner that he has gone at the undertaking and expended time and money for the welfare of Brooklyn. There was a large amount of common sense in his talk last evening and even though he is criticised for being economical and niggardly, as some might term it, everyone will agree that 1t is much better to spend money on necessity than on luxury. As Father Slocum stated last evening expense counts considerable In this undertaking and when the people come to figure how much 1t will increase their taxes they will not be so eager for the improve ment.
 A noticeable feature of the meeting last evening was the absence of the small property owners. very few of them being present at the meeting. It seems that since few months ago the people have experienced a change of heart for at that time the proposed improvement was considered as a waste of money.

We also have a line in solid silver, plain and chased. These beads run in prices from S1 to &. We also have the same line of stones mounted in rolled plate. This selection can be found at the Lake X Strobel Co.
 The Brooklyn people seem to he losing sight of one very important change which ought to be made be- fore the railroad get through because like the approach" to the union sta ton it can be done cheaper now than at any time in the future. The bridge at Bank street should he elevated sey- eral feet and the street raised so that public travel will not be blocked ev. cry time heavy storm sets in. Ii wouh be a big hit for Brooklyn il they could get that hole under tho bridge filed in. even though water never collected at that point. It is q lIindrancc to the development to that part of the town and inaSmuch as this is . most opportune time to remove it. those who have a special Interest in that region should see that it is taken hold of and fixed so that strang erx will not feel that in onler to gei into Brooklyn they have to pass through a hole in the ground. ar If q big rain storm is on. made the trir under the bridge in boat.

NEW SUBWAY OPENS.
One of the Latest Group of Roads in
 London.

London, March 10.-The Baker Street-Waterloo tube" one of the late Charles T. Yerkes group of rail roads, was opened to public traffic to-day. This is the latest addition to the London underground electric rail roads and the most important link in the solution of the city's traffic problem. The new artery, the length of which is 5A miles, runs north and south, traversing all the older lines, with which 1t is connect ed by subways, thus enabling pas sengers to reach within a short dis tance of any point in the metropolis. The construction of the road was begun in 1898 under the auspices of the late Whitaker Wright's group of roads and subsequently, was pur- chased by the Yerkes-Speyer inter- ests.
