The report. like that of a honmingoim-
non was distinctly hen-d ymi-nliiy uIli r
noon by many in this part. of the town.
It was the blowing up of the tug boat
“Jersey Boy" at Five Mile River.

Between twelve and one o'clock all
llfllIIl-l wr-ri- on board the riiiid digger
eating their dinner. The tug boat "Jer-
sey Boy" was alongside tho dredgor.
The men were startled by the explosion
of the tug‘s boiler and in an instant not
a trace of the boat was visible. The men
who were scaled about the dinner tnblo
were thrown violently to the floor, dish-
on wars demolished and the large timbers
on the dredger were wrenchcd from their
places. Engineer Murphy of the digger
was thrown at least fifteen feet and one
of the deck bands was precipitated into
the water. The superintendent, Capt.
E. Godfrey, was just coming aboard the
dredger and was the neares; to the tug,
but fortunately was not hurt.

The engineer of the tug says the ex
plosion isa great mystery to him, for
when he left the engine to go to dinner
there. were two gauges of water in the
boiler.

The boot belonged to Richard Parrot!
of Newburgh, N. Y., and was valued at
about $1,000. There was no insurance
on it. Mr. Parrott arrived from New
York shortly after the accident. [Ie had
three men with him who he had engag-
ed to work on the boat.

It is hard to imagine how there could
have been a more narrow est-ape. Be-
Ing on the limit at the time of lllt' explo-
sion Would surely have on :ii.t instant
death.

The d-gger was badly damaged but
not F!» as to interfere with the progress
of the work. The only thing required
willbeatug to tow the scovvs to the
dumping ground.

The accident caused great t'XCllf‘ll‘le'lI

During the fourth of July week all of
the factories were shut down and things
appeared very quiet for the stirring city
of South Norwalk. Orders are, how-
ever, coming in good now, and the fac-
tories are doing fairly well.

Crofut d: Knapp‘s two factories have

placed before the trade sortie excellent
shapes, and the trade seem to appreciate
them, from the way (micro h-iVe come
in. A fan in the Lilies of the ripper
factory. run by steam, makes the leni-
psrature very agreeable these hot days.
The Melville Manufacturing Co. report
a better June businessman usual; and
though trade was quite dull during the
first two weeks in July, the prospects
are that they will have an excellent Fall
business. Mr. Miller was well received
on the Pacific Coasts, and made lots of
friends and good sales.
The Bentwood llii Works are well
orgiinzud for a brisk Fill trade; orders
have been coming in well, and it looks
as though they were to have their full
of the good things in the way of dupli-
cates on the "Brittwood" hat.

The Volk IIat Co. intend to be in shape
for turning out late of hats. They have
recently put. on another story, to be used
for a drying room. Mr. Robert Trimblo
is on the road and sending in very out is
factory orders. John Montross is doing
well in New York City. The Volk Co.
(are away a large number of hatiers'

ceiving first-class lead pencils. On each
one is stamped, “Compliments of the

The South Norwnlk Hat Co. are getting

eued yesterday afternoonas tliey witnes-
sed as narrow an escape as ever beell
anyone in this town.

William Morton with his two daugh.
tors started to drive across the track
from the west side just as the gunman
commenced lowering the gates. Mf-
Morton disregarded the signal and shouts
of the man lowering the gates and kept
on his way ticroiistho track. When he
reached the west bound track the horse
hesitated and Mr. Morton hit. llf'l' With a
whip. When the horse got on the east.
bound track sho balked and commenced
to back. The 6.08 train was coming
around the curve and everybody felt
that a terrible accident. would result.
Anna Morton saw the danger and gave ii
leap from the wagon and escaped. The
horse kept backing and the wagon was
backed around on the track on which
the train was coming. The engineer
reversed his engine and stopped the train
Very suddenly but not in time to save
the wagon from being struck. The
wagon was overturned and illr. Morton
and daughter were thrown to the ground.
Annie Morton who was on the opposite.
side ofthc train saw the wagon struck
and naturally believed that the other
members of the party had been killed
and her screams could be heard a long
di~tance.

The remarkable feature of the acci
dent is that no one was injured. These
who were near at the time turned away
as they believed someone Would be
mangled.

The horse was taken to Solmnn's livery
stable and in arhort time Mr. Morton
and his dutiuhters drove, to their home.

The storm that has lasted several days

of the Norwalk river to an tinpn cvdent-
t’ii degree.
The destructive works of the storm is
everywhere visible along the banks of
the stream—now a raging river—which
empties its waters into Norwalk bay.
flood-sized streams are coursing their
way down the hill-sides, flooding coun.
try roads and adjacent lowlands. A re-
porter for Tiiit Ssxrisrzi. went north this
morning on the Danbury and Norwalk
tllVlRlDfl, stopping first at Winnipauk.
Limbs of trees, boards. boxes. and the
wreckage of chicken coops, out-houses
and burns were tlJat‘ing by, indicating
that farmers living along the bank of
the river had felt the elfectsof the storm
to no small extent. It was reported that
a man was caught in the flood near the
Norvvalk mills yesterday afternoon
and carried down stream for a
considerable distance before being It's-
cucd. The report however, could not be
verified, and is probably exaggerated.
Some of the country roads between
South “'Ilton and Wilton and in that
vicinity are flooded to the depth of two,

A man who came from New Canaan,
reaching Norwulk about noon. stated
that the road near the New Canaan
bridge was flooded to the depth of tvvo
feet. The water at that point rose very
rapidly, he, stated, furnishing grounds
for the belief that some, dam further

The llubbell bridge road at \Vinni-
pauk is covered with water to the depth
of lwofeet. Last evening some of the
factory girls on the way home from
work were ferried across by Silas Aiken

The track inspector this morning dis—
covered that a washnway had occurred
on ilie D. a N. R. R. about half a mile
above Brancliville. For a distance of
perhaps twenty feet the track was cov-
ered with sand and stone which had
been washed from the mountain side.
A gangpf fifteen men were put. to work
clearing the track and just as they had
completed their work there was another
slide anti In large tree came down with
the dirt. The early down train did not
arrive in South Norwslk until 8.45.
