SWITCH WAS OPEN
And Two Engine 5 Crashed Tracks Blocked a Long Time.

Another head on collision occurred this morning on the tracks near the Kalbfieish factory not far from the disastrous wreck in whichs the New Haven Grays figured several months ago. Although the engines this morn ing were badly damaged, the only person seriously hurt was Peter Ward of Bridgeport, an engineer, whose left leg was broken and who received a bad scalp wound. The ac- cident was caused by an open switch sending freight train which was oil its way to Bridgeport onto siding where a switcher, attached to about twenty cars was standing. Ward, en- gineer on the freight which was on its way down, and Robert Burns, his fireman, were hurled from their positions and it was strange that they were not severely injured. Ill fact, with the exception of shaking up, Burns was practically unscathed The engines were derailed and the front parts of them badly damaged Between the two engines was a mass of junk.
 It was about 10:30 o'clock when Wards engine, No 1909, which comes up in the morning with passenger train, reached the fatal switch which has been the cause of many acci- dents. AS his engine had only one freight car, and the caboose, it is thought that he was travelling along at pretty good clip It is said that Ward was supposed to look out for himself as far as switches are con cerned, as it is within the yard limits. At any rate he must have thought the switch was closed which would con tinue him along the main track, but it was not. The switch was open, and before he knew, he was on the siding tearing down upon the switch CT coupled to number of the acid company's cars. The engines met with bang. One may get an idea of the manner in which they struck by what happened to the last car of the number that were attached to the switcher. It was a flat car on which there was tank of sulphuric acid. Although the brakes on all the cars were on, nevertheless the last car was driven through a shed in which there were many barrels of acid from the factory. The car was derailed.
 After the engines met, medical aid was immediately summoned Dr Hungerford was first to arrive, fol- lowed by Drs Dwyer and Crane. Ward was the only one who badly needed physician, although Burns was also treated. The injured man, who is of big stature, and who was not apparently bit affected by the accident, was taken to the Water bury hospital in Lunny's ambulance, which was at the accident few min utes after it happened.
 The conductor on the regular freight was William Rock. The switcher was@No 2549, with Ralph Thompson engineer, William Conway fireman, The train was in charge of conductor James Sherman. The employees were reluctant to state who was respon- sible for the accident The accident caused some delay in the arrival of trains but Yardmaster Meehan said in his opinion the tracks would be quickly cleared.

WATERBURY EVENING DEMOCRAT. TUESDAY, OCTOBER | 1eoy
LEVINSON SURPRISED
Two Families Are Now Looking
 10 Bim For Support,

Joseph Levinson was sitting in the bosom of his family at his home 10 Ward street Monday evening when another family entered and claimed his protection and support. The lat ter comprised three women, mother and two daughters.
 In 1875 Levinson married his first wife in Rumania. Four children were born to them, two boys and two girls. In 1885, finding things hard in the old country, he came here with the understanding, it is said, that his wife and family should follow in the course of time. He prospered here, owning few houses and store on Ward street. He says his wife and family refused to come to this coun- try, notwithstanding that he sent them their fares. The first Mrs Lev inson says that he sent no money and that every letter contained story of hard times and misfortune. In 189o Levinson, then livingin New Jersey. obtained divorce from his wife on the grounds of desertion and soon af- ter came here and married again. Prosperity followed him. Meanwhile his wife and children in Rumania &C., cording to their story were wondering what had happened to him for he wrote no more to them. Through the means of friends and relations and the Hebrew press they finally located Levinson here and managed to gath CT enough money to set sail for, Am erica. On July r last they arrived here and after spending some time in New Jersey with their friends and re- lations and learning all about Levin son they came here Monday. Yester- day they lodged their case with At torney Lynch. Leyinson produced a certificate of his divorec decree ob- tained in New Jersey. and that set- tied it, according to MT Lynch's views and he holds that unless that decree is annulled on the grounds of fraud or some other grounds the first wife and her children cannot obtain any assistance from Levinson. One of the two boys died years ago and the oth- CT died during the passage over and was inferred in the waters of the At lantic. Another lawyer has taken the case for the first wife and he set the machinery of the law in motion to obtain support for her and her chil- dren.

FIRST FALL MEETING.
The Catholic Women's Association
 Formed Classes Last Night.

me CdtnOuC "oulOh NoSoAoA.
 Formed Classes Last Night. s The first general meeting of this season of the Catholic Women's as- sociation took place last evening. The attendance was so large that it was necessary to hold the meeting in the chapel.
 The greater part of the even- ing was devoted to the formation of classes. The applications for classes were more numerous than is usually the case in advance, so that those who have been members in the past and did not think 1t necessary to re- gister until the night the class ac- tualiy meets should see Mrs Hayes, the superintendent, on Friday even- ing without fail. She will be at the rooms all that evening. There are no places left in the Monday or Tues day dressmaking classes but there are some places left for Thursday and Friday. The teachers and methods are the same for every evening. There are still vacancies in the Monday and Tuesday evening art classes but they will be given to those who first make application so that old members who did not hand their names in again this year should see to it that they do so, thus reserving their places. The shorthand class can accommodate three or four more, and the grammar and arithmetic class is not. wholly filled. Mrs Margaret \ Corcoran O'Neill, who formerly made so great a success of this class, has consented to take it again this year. The in- struction is individual.
 To take advantage of belonging to a class in the Catholic Women's as- sociation one must join the associa; tion, paying one years dues in ad- vance, the sum: of S1. The class fees must also be paid in advance and are 50 cents for dressmaking or $1 for shorthand and typewriting, art work, and millinery, this class fee covering ten lessons or the sum. of five or ten cents a lesson. The dues do not pay all the expenses of the association < but twice or three times during the year entertainments for raising funds are given, the association receiving no financial assistance from. any oth- CT source.
 On Friday morning in accordance with the custom of the association a mass will be celebrated at the church of the Immaculate Conception at o'clock at which as many members as can do so should be present. This Is the real beginning of the seasons work. On that evening the rooms will be open and Mrs Hayes, the superin- tendent, will receive any one who calls, explaining the work and taking names for whatever class vacancies are left.

POLITICAL POINTERS
SewelI and Ab Hayes Do Up the
 AbrigadOr.

Republican Candidate Sewell and Liquor Prosecuting Agent Hayes paid visit to most of the liquor sellers in the fifth ward last even ing. The voters of that section of the. city would be glad to see them if they came to discuss intelligently the issues of the campaign, but this they did not try to do. It seems that the Italians and Hebrews have shown themselves intelligent enough to have the campaign arguments discussed before them, but apparent ly Mir Sewell believes the only way to appeal to the fifth ward voter is to his thirst. The visit of MT Sewell and MT Hayes, the liquor prosecut- ing agent, and the buying of liquid refreshments in the fifth ward, will not win over any democratic votes. The electors up there have as much intelligence as those of other races in the city and an appeal should be made to their brains, not their threats.
 Charles A. Colley,r the modern Mc- Cawber, said yesterday that he shall vote for all good democrats. Il know a good fellow when see him." said MT Colley, in the office of Church & Kelley, ''and I-"
 "Then I presume you'll vote for MT Kelley for the board of euuca- tion," said man standing near. # .'I certainly shall,'' said the man of letters, as he disappeared into the political silence of Attorney Church's office. ,.

They all Want such Men.

A New York employer closed recent
letter to Hapgoods, the national organiza-
ton of brain brokers. with the following
description of the men he desired for sew
eral responsible positions:
Men who are not for sale men who are
honest and sound from centre to circum-
ference, true to the hearts core; men who
will condemn wrong in friend or foe, in
themselves as well as others; men whose
coneciensces are as steady as the needle
to the pole; men who will stand for the
right If the heavens totter and the earth
reels; men who can tell the truth and look
the world and the devil right in the eye;
men who neither brag nor run. men who
neither flag nor finch, men who have
courage without whlstling for it and JOY
without shouting to bring it, men to whom
the current of everlasting life runs still and
deep and strong. men who know their
place and fill il, men who mind their own
business, men who will not lie, men who
are wiling to earn what they eat and per-
form what they are paid for doing.

want. Problem solved.

The following POEM from the pen Of a
school girl just reaching her teens is
handed in for publication:
There's problem which cannot solve,
Though try both night and day,
For il worries Ire when I'm working
And when in my bed lay.
As think OF it wonder why
Many OF the old folks say,
Why, you are too young to think OF beauy
For many. many day.
Although my mother never tells me.
With that boy you must not 60.
My aunts and uncles will surely say,
Why, she is too young. you know.
And yet have often heard them tell
OF how many beaux they had
And of how they never cared at all,
If any of them got mad.
How this one had called them pretty,
And that one called them fine
How, of fellows In just one evening
They had either eight or nine.
How. when they we're not quite sixteen
With the fellows they would 60;
But must not even think Of one,
For am too young, you know.
surely cannot explain it, why
With the fellows they cauld 60.
But do not think it is my fault
For | am so young, you know.
