 Ten days after the accident the su- perintendent of the New York and New Haven Railroad gave directions for, all trains to come to stop be- fore passing any of the -drawbridges on the road. On May 17 it is re- corded that the wreck of matter at Norwalk had been collected, four days before, into a pile and consumed with fire, by order of the company. leav- ing no vestige of the late calamity. The engine was lifted out of the mud and placed upon the track by a pow erful steam derrick brought from New York. The engine was but little bro- ken
 Various kinds of suggestions were made. One correspondent who wrote to "The Courant'' of Hartford, from New York, wanted every railroad com- pany to place a strong gate of iron acress the track on each side of every drawbridge and wanted each gate placed in charge of proper officers of the state. Experience shows" said the writer, .tthat railroad corporations have and do. and will always. if a1- lowed. employ common labOrers, Irish men, Germans and incompetent Amer> jeans also, to discharge the respon- sible trusts of engineers, switchmen and draw tenders. In Europe I am informed railroads are. not permitted to cross even country roads on the same level and they are not allowed to run through towns at the rate of 30 miles an hour. Nor should we al- low it.''

 You, are, therefore, requested to mo- tify the city auditor in any and all cases whenever your budget, as set forth in detail by the committee Of audit, fails to meet your requirements, and to specify what item you wish to decrease as we'll as the item which you wish to increase, with tho amount. The matter can then be adjusted up- on the merits of each particular case.

FREIGHT WRECK ON BERKSHIRE

Still River, May 17.-Traffic on the Berkshire Division of the New Haven road was tied up, today, for nearly six hours by a freight wreck mile south of here. A freight which was stalled was being pushed over grade by second train when the airbrakes of the first train suddenly set. The en- zine doing the pushing ploughed through the caboose, wrecking it and smashing one freight car. Three of the train crew in the caboose were thrown into the forward end and caught in the wreckage but escaped injury.

Is PARDONED BY GOVERNOR

iency at Hands of Chief Executive
of Connecticut.
Hartford, Conn.--Contrary to its
usual policy, the state board of par
dons. of which Governor Simeon r.

ed convict in the country, having en-
tered the state prison at Wethersfield,
December IA, 1859, for the murder of
his wife. two years before the civil
war. The other lifer pardoned is
John Hawley, a Bridgeport negro who
was imprisoned october Z. 1892, for
the murder of his wife, Mary Munson,
who Hawleys sisters death bed con-
fession recently proved to have been
shot and beat to death by Hawley's
jealous friends.
Warren will leave the prison walls
and will be a care for the rest of his
DAYS to his brother, Joel Warren OF
Manifold. His case is well known
though the crime happened more
than half century ago when he was
a Young man of 21. He was enamorec
with another woman and tried to rid
himself of his bride, whom he held
under the waters of Roaring Brook
in wilmington until the bubbles ceas-
ed to gurgle. The body was found in
the bushes and Warren was sentenced
to life after he had confessed ana
had agreed to plead guilty.
