TRACKS BLOCKED BY WRECK. Bad Freight Smash-up at Bridgeport
 Ties Up Entire Road,

Bridgeport, Dec. 1t.--One of the worst freight wrecks in this vicinity in years took place early to-day, about thirty cars being piled up along the tracks of the New York division of the New York New Haven & Hartford railroad at the western, end of the city. No one was hurt
 The train was eastbound. A broken flange cn the wheel of the engine ten der threw the train off the track and as it was going at a good rate of speed thirty cars of the line of forty-two cars were hurled from the track.
 The cars of a southbound train tore into those of the other train and in a few moments both trains were wrecked.
 Several of the cars were torn to pieces; others were overturned, and many left the rails, apparently little damaged Wreekers were sent here from New Haven, and 1t was several hours before the tracks were cleared. Passengers were compelled to walk around the wreck and were transfer red to trains on either side. All four tracks were completely blocked, and there was long line of stalled freight trains extending up and down the road no freight moving in either direction for over five hours.

A NEW ROOSEVELT STORY.


 There is a little story about Theo- dore Roosevelt" said "Bufa.o Bllr' Cody at the Press club to-day, "shat has never been printed. When the President was out in the West hunt Ing last time the expedition was hard up for bear dogs. The third or fourth day out the chief guide, Golf, went u the President and said: I know a man who has some good bear dogs I will go over and see him and see if I can get them All right, said the Presi- dent, do it. The man turned down the guide
 I will go over and see him my self, said the President, and hs lll. Nothing doing, said the owner Of the dogs Do you know who am9' de- manded the President I am the President of the United States
 We'll replied the dog owner, I don't care damn If you are. I wouldn't care damn if you were Booker T. Washington. You couldn't have my dogs And the < President. concluding that the dog owner knew his own business best, went back to the camp and told the story with much glee.' .'-Denver Special to the New York World.

USELESS NOISE IN NOMINATING

When each candidate Is put into nomination it is now tho practice fer someone with more voice than brains to start shrieking procession in which the mob of spectators frequent " unftes, along with a brass band or two and several drum corps. Then the procession marches around the hall for half-hour or more, thousands of people shrleklng like manlaas, all to be repeated when the next man $ put in nomination When an attempt Is made to discuss the candidates or the platform only a few persons have sufficient lungs to send their voices beyond the platform. And If speaker cannot make himself heard, or 1t happens that his speech does not amuse the audience they howl him down.
 Perhaps the American people prefer to have their candidates nominated In this way, and as long as the conven- tions are held in halls which will hold an army of people, they will be grati- fled But a sweeping reform in this matter Is sorely needed, and 1t is to be hoped It may come, sooner or later Baltimore Sun.

WIND BLOWS DOWN BLOCK.
Waterbury Mans Small Fortune Goes
 With It.

Waterbury, Dec. 1.-The new two story brick building which John Bruno, of 2S7 South Leonard street, has been erecting on the hill near the Jackson stone works was almost demolished by the storm yesterday morning.
 The building was nearly completed, with the exception of the roof, and was almost thirty feet high
 The building was very narrow in proportion to its height, and this made the house peculiarly vulnerable, as it was situated on the top of a hill. It is estimated that the damage will amount to more than $s,OOO. Yesterday afternoon Bruno, who Is known as a hard-working man, stated that all the money he possessed was invested in the wrecked building and that the misfor- tune had left him destitute.

HIDDEN vI1DAGE RECOVERED.

An entire village built by the French during their occupation of the lsthmus and completely buried by the dense jungle growth of twenty years, has been discovered at Calmito Mulato by the engineering force that is locating the center line of the canal in the Chagres division. It contains nine sets of married quarters, twenty-two bar racks and mess halls. aud a small ma- chine shop A majority of the build ings were in sufficiently good condi- ton to be worth preservation, and are now undergoing repairs The machin- cry in the machine shop was in good condition Some of the smaller parts had been taken away. These will be replaced and the machinery will be overhauled and put in use. IL includes @ boiler and engine, lathe, shaper and several drill presses. The discovery of the village was complete surprise to the engineers, for while it's location Is shown on some existing maps, very few of the present canal workers were aware of the fact.--Canal Record.

AN EXTENSION OF ACTIVITY.

President Roosevelt states familiar fact in an effective way when he says, in the opening paragraphs of his mes sage to Congress, that present condi- tions demand an extension, not of federal authority, but of federal activ- ity; and that this does not signify any advocacy of centralization, but means simply that standardization in business has already taken place, and must be met 'by providing better methods for the exercise of control through the authority already centralized in the national government by the constitu- ton itself" Rarely has the situation been more clearly expressed. New con dit.ons have arisen that demand the exercise of the old authority in new way.-Proyidence Journal

 When Senator Davis secured the floor and began his address all of the sena- tors. both republicans and democrats, were in their seats and the galleries were filled with spectators. Senator Davis after declaring that his bill, vigorously enforced, would kill the trusts, with dramatic effect challenged any senator to step forward and con- test the issue with him.
 As he proceeded. he showed great emotion and his voice trembled.
 Speaking of the annual appropria- ton for the expenses of the govern ment he detailed appropriations made for maintaining the white house.
 And yet" he continued, President Roosevelt has but five children-7at home"
