The Northwestern storm reported yes-
terday is new central near Lake Huron,
moving east-southeast. It will probably
coalesce with another storm new central
near Cairo, Ill., and advance to the
uortbeastward, the disturbance moving
to the Atlantic coasts between Cape Hay
and Eastport, lie, and causing thick
weather, dangerous winds and rough sea
tonight and tomorrow. In this district
to-day fair to partly cloudy, warmer
weather will probably prevail till the af-
ternoon, with fresh southerly to south.
easterly winds, followed by increasing
cloudiness and rain with brisk to high
scutheasterly to easterly winds, increas-
ing to gales by to morrow of! the Long
Island and Jersey coasts. In the Middle
States warmer. partly cloudy to cloudy
weather and fresh southeasterly winds
will prevail till noon, followed by rain,
becoming heavy tonight, with a decid.
ed increase of storm energy, especially
on the coasts; and in New England fair
to partly cloudy, warmer weather, and
fresh southerly to brisk southeasterly
winds, followed tn-nigbt by rain. On
Saturday in this section and in New
England cloudy weather will prevail,
with rain, brisk to high southeasterly t.)
Iouthwesterly winds and light thermal
changes, followed by colder, clearing
weather in this section, and on Sunday
partly cloudy to fair, colder weather in
both sections, preceded by rain or snow
near the lakes and in New England, and
followed by a cold spell, reducing the
temperature below frerzing in the upper
Hudson Valley. Fog will probably pre.
cede the approach of the storm on the
Jersey coasts and in long Island Sound.

to have failed to bring hymenisl bliss to
the hearts of that couple. Kooris left
South Norwalk last night for parts nu-

she was so forgiving and did not take
the advice given her by eminent counsel
and have the case continued instead of
insisting upon having it trolled. In that
case her husband could have shows his
good faith and she wouldhave been pro-

Illa Eye Removed.
Frank W. Hoyt, a son of Superinten-
dent C. II. Hoyt, of the Almshousc, was
cutting «if the head of arivct at the
Duncan iron railing works one day last
fall, when a small piece of iron flew into
his left eye, partially destroying the
sight. Dir. Hoyt went to a New York
hospital for treatment, and the physi-
cians there succeeded in extracting from
his eye, by the use of a magnet, two
small particles of steel. This operation,
howevar,did not restore the sight, and
it became necessary to remove the young
man‘s eye. The operation was success-
fully performed afew days since and
Mr. lluyt was able to return to Norwalk
yesterday The hospital physicians
found that a sliver of steel, prob-
ably from the chisel, had penetrated the
pupil of Mr. Hoyt’s eye.
The Next Organ Recital.
The next organ recital at the new Con-
gregational church takes place Wednes-
day evening, Feb., 26th, when Mr. Geo.
W. Morgan will preside at the organ.
Mr. Morgan was for many years organist
of Tallmadge's Brooklyn Tabernacle,
and is one of the best, if not the best or-
ganist in the world. His daughter, who
will play the harp, has made a very fine
reputation. Of her the Baltimore Day
says: “The harp, which is her instru~
merit, yields its power only to the touch
of a thorough master, and such so one
it has found in this fair young girl. She
was attired in a Greek costume of pure
white. which shows her shapely arms to
full advantage, while her raven black
hair was arranged in truly classic style.
Her first productionwss an old Welsh
air, followed by ‘Anuie Laurie,’ which
completely euraptured the audience.
Later on she played the ‘Danse des Fees,’
by Parish Alvaro, and in response to
calls for an encore gave Weber’s ‘Last
Waltz.’ She gave great sstlsfacticn,
and charmed both eye and ear.” Tick-

The audience last night at this church
packed the house from and to end. The
opening exercises were followed by a
strong, forceful sud pungent discourse
from the Rev. JchuPegg, who appealed
most earnestly and effectively to the
unforgiven sinner to come” at once to
Christ for salvation. To the efforts made
from the pulpit and by zealous workers
for God more than a dos-in persons mau~

The Only Date Way.
Last night’s Ansouia Sentinel says:—
The accident at South Norwulk, Tues-
day, seems to be regarded by some of the
state papers—~notably those which favor
the Consolidated in everything—as prov-
ing the great beneiit to the public of the
safety derailing device. In one respect
this is so. It shows that it is next to
impossible for a train to run off into the
open draw if the bridge happens to be
open, but it also shows that if that train
had been a passenger train, with the
cars heated by stores as they are on that
road, many lives might have been ruth-
lessly sacrificed.
Time freight cars were smashed into
splinters. What would have been the
It" oil had three well-filled passenger cars
been in their place is painful to conjun-
ture. And all this is merely tosave a
few minuivs time between New York
and Boston. 'r;~» {not of the matter is
the low requiring full stops to be made
before crossing all drove-bridges, if it is
yet on the statute books, should be rigid-
ly enforced. If it has been repealed it
should Ilt‘ re-enscted. What is ten min-
utes lost time to ten precious lives lost—
lost too. perhaps in t n agony of pain and

The derailing device is a good thing,
so for as it goes, but a full stop of the
train is better.

hilt Borrow—Having heretofore been
favored with a liberal response to an
appeal for money to aid the needy, I am
encouraged to ask for money once more
through the medium of your paper.
During six months of almost daily
visiting I have found cases that demand-
ed immediate help. lisvs thus far had
sufficient from volunteer tflerings, but
last night found a family that had had
no food for nearly two days. The man,
a temperate man, was sick in bed, the
wife not able to go out. and a small child
to be cared for. In such a case we do
not. want to add. to the burden by wait-
ing for ceremony or taking time to solicit.
In this case we had money at hand to
supply the needed food and coal and
three cents left, but are crippled for
further aiding this case and unprepared
for other exigencies. lknow some of
our citizens will esteem if a privilege to
aid in this work. Shall endeavor to use
wisely any means that m:. y be placed at
my disposal. There are no denomina-
tional preferences in this work; all that
are reported to me or found in my visits
that need to be ministered to receive
their sharetof attention. Any donations
of money ’or clothing can be sent to 33

THE SAFETY (I) DEIMILINO
SWITCH.
The complete smash up of the freight
train Ioodsy morning by what is term-
ed the safety dsrsiling device to prevent
trains from going into open draw bridges
on the line of the (humiliated railroad,
is deserving of more attention than it is
getting, because, as in operation in this
city. at least, it is altogether more of a
danger device than a safety device.
Furthermore, as the railroad commis-
sioners have given their-convent to the
use of this device in order to obviate the
stopping of trains at the draw and to
accommodate the railroad cziiripariy they
are mpcuslbls for the danger and conse-
quences of its use, and would he crimi-
nally negligeht‘for any lossyoi life which
resulio. and which is almost cumin to
result if permitted any longer.
In examining the derailing switch in
this city we find it simply a single rail,
extending not over fifty feet at a slight
divergence from the main track. The
derailing switch is operated from the
drawbridgt‘, and if it performs its func-
tion throws the train off the main
track onto one rail extending the short
distance before mentioned. No provision
is made for but one side of "lt' derailed
cars; the others must run on the
ground and ties, and, if the from is not
upset before the end of the switch is
reached, locomotive and cars ltltli‘il. meet
the fate of those of last Monday running.
The general plan of this device, we
understand, is to provide a side track for
switched trains, extending for enough
to permit of the most thorough applica-
tion of breaks and the bringing of the
train to a stand still 'on the switch, or at
worst the plunging of the locomotive
into a sand bank at a very slow sp ed.
If It was absolutely necessary that
trains should cross the drawbridges with-
out stopping, such a device might be
considered preferable to an Open draw,
but it is a very dangerous device never-
theless, and its operation on any passen-
ger train would almost certainly result
in loss of life and injury to the passen-
gers on the train. Its practical working
would be exposure to death by smashed
and burning cars instead of drowning;
certainly not very much of a choice.
But, as previously stated, not even this
provision is made by the switch in this
city. This switch provides only for a
smash up in lieu of a plunge into the
river. So when passengers pass through
here at a speed of from ten to thirty
miles an hour, they may console them-
selves with the thought that if they are
not thrown from the track and killed by
a general wreck of the train in, y are
quite likely to pass safely over the draw-
bridge.
This dcrniling device, therefore, ought
to be abolished at once, and trains com-
pelled to come to a full stop before pass-
ing over a drawbridge.
If the mechanical ingenuity of railroad
engineers and operatives can devise
nothing better for asafe-guard against
accidents at drawhridges than this dan-
gerous derailing mechanism, the travel-
ing public ought not to be exposed to
the horrible dangers attending its use in
order to facilitate the pamagc of the
trains of a Connecticut corporation
through thistcommcnwealih for the ac-
commodation of New York and Boston.
If, however, the use of this device is
permitted longer, then the railroad com-
missioners should be made to feel the
weight of public sentiment and indigna-
tion. They are the representatives of
the people, and clothed with authority,
and liberally compensated to guard them
against the greed and recklessness of
this great railroad corporation. If they
are men of sense they must know that

A Mutilation and Ila-atto- luau
(New York has.)
In the list ofsuiineut Presbyterian tbs-
ologiauswho voted to retain in their
awful integrity the doctrines, of cm A
changeable pvsderttuatiou and the ever»
lasting damnation of all the heathen, sp-
psars the uams of the Rev. Dr. N. W.
Coukliug.
We suppose that this is the Rev. Dr.
Nathaniel W. Conkliug who, was driven
one due morning to the front door of the
late Navy J. lnrgau. and who departed
from the presence of that very wealthy
but mentally mcsntrlc woman with a
coupe cargo transiting of 0000.000 in
Government four per cunts.
No wonder the Rev. Dr. Nathaniel W.‘
Coukllug stands firm for uuchaugsabls

beatbsn who believes that the Rev. Dr.
Nathaniel W. (‘onkllng took advantage
of the condition of lfsry Jane Morgan's
mind just before she dud and he went
abroad.
Artificial Ice. .
The letter in yesterday's Coursut, sug-
gesting artificial ice production for “art-
ford, deserves careful consideration. It
has it most taking sound. It means
plenty of ice. Thstis something. And
it mastic ice, ice from distilled water,
and that is not merely something; it is
everything to the consumer. Or rather
it isn't everything, but just ice. Now
we have ice from shallow ponds that
hold the liowsgs of manure lots, ice from
ponds in burying grounds, ice from riv'
on that contain the sewage of city after
city, and so on.
nor to swallow, either. The artificial ,ice
is not expensive; it is clearer and firm-
arsnd worth more to the pound than
ordinary ice, and it is or should be above
suspicion. Why not start a factory in
Hartford and end the doubt, first. as to
whether there will be ice, and, second,
as to what is.—~[llarford Contact.
