BAD FREIGHT WRECK
About Thirty Cars Piled in a Heap Just South of Bridge
 port.

Bridgeport, Ct., Dec. 11.-One of the worst freight wrecks in this vici- nifty in years occurred here early to- day, about thirty cars being piled up along the tracks of the New York di- vision of the New York, New Haven and Hartford railroad at the extreme west end of the city. No one was hurt. According to the best inform ation split rail threw many cars of a south bound train from the rails, just as a north bound freight was passing on the next track. The cars of the south bound 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. Wreckers were sent here from New Haven and it was several hours before the tracks were cleared | for traffic. Passengers were con- ! pelled to walk around the wreck and were transferred to trains on either side All four tracks were complete 1 ly blocked and there was long line of stalled freight trains extending up and down the road, no freight mov-
 ing in either direction for over five i hours.
 Furniture, grain, coal and quanti-
 ties of provision were strewn about
 the tracks at the scene of the acci-
 dent and the wreck brought thou.

GHOST WARNS HUBBY
Whisper of Wife's Apparition
 Saves Jerseyman's Life.
RECOGNIZED FORM AND VOICE
Going Home Later Charles H. Durand Found Death Trap In Shape of String Across Doorway Which Would Have Fired Bullet at Chest.

Montclair, \. J., Dec. 11.-That a whispered warning in the dark by the ghost of his dead wife saved him from death by assassination is the be- lief of Charles Henry Durand, farm CT living in the hills near Caldwell. His strange story is being used as q clew by the authorities. Durand says that as he was driving home from Pat erson late at night his horse stopped in the road and began to tremble. In vain he urged the animal to proceed. It would not budge.
 Suddenly the air grew oppressive, and faint light like distant heat lightning appeared Then gradually amid the dim flashes a white figure assumed vague form beside the wagon. Durand himself commenced to quake. He tried to dismount. but his limbs re- fused to obey his will. After an inter val the apparition in white spoke in q whisper He recognized in fear and trembling the form and voice of his dead wife
 mere IS danger at home. Stay away till morning." the voice said. Cold chills crept over Durand. Scarcely had the supernatural warning been uttered when the ghost vanished. | It took the former some time to TO- cover his nerve and then he found the horse would not take d step forward. He took off the harness and after two hours work brought the animal out of it's chill and slowly proceeded home.
 Though badly scared, he did not put much faith in the warning that had been whispered to him in such an un- canny way. So long had Durand been delayed by his adventure that it was daylight when he reached his farm house. which has lonely location.
 Putting the horse in the stable Du- rand entered the dwelling. He noticed that window on the ground floor which he had fastened was unlatched. Next he discovered muddy footprints on the floor AS he was about to go into his room upstairs he saw string l stretched dcfOSS lue open uOOTWdS near the floor. It was just high enough to have caught his foot in entering. Standing to one side. Durand hooked his umbrella handle over the string and gave the string jerk.
 A flash inside the room was accom-. panied by report, and bullet buried itself in the wall of the hallway Op posite the doorway. Durand then ran inside, his room and found that the bull let had come from pistol fastened tC the top of his bureau. The trigger had been connected with the string across the door. The shot would have struck him in the breast had he touched the string with his foot on entering the room.
 Durand. who moved from the west five years ago, says some one whose name he will not divulge evidently had lain in wait for him all night at his home and would have killed him bu for the warning he received from his dead wife's spirit.
