The Coming Organ Itocitals.
It is our pleasure to announce No ‘2
of the series of organ recitals at the Car-
gregational church on the evening of
Wednesday, February 26m. commencing
at 8 o'clock promptly, by Mr, George W.
Morgan, organist, New York, whose
fame as master of the king of instni~
ments is world-wide, assisted by his
daughter. Miss Maud Morgan, upon he
harp. The programme of the evening's
entertainment will be announced in
these columns later. Mr. D. E. Disbrov,
organist of the church, who has three
recitals in charge, knowing that mt
only 80th Norwalk and Norwalk friends
desire to hear them, but that many from
the surrounding towns will be in attend-
ance, has decided to open the diagram of
seats on Wednesday morning, February
19th, at Plaisted's drug store, 80th Nar-
walk, and J. G. Gregory‘s, Norwdk.

Disbrow announces as the solo organist

York city, assisted by Miss Lillian A.
Sherwood, of Green's Farms, soprano,
and the chorus of forty voices, which so
admirably took part in the opening cos-
cert January 17th. We think the change
from solo singing will be a great attract-
ion for the last recital. and the singing
of the young peoples friend, Miss Sher-
wood, will no doubt crowd the church.
Secure your seats and tickets early, and
not wait until the last moment. Tickets
will be on sale at J. Arthur Pinnso’.s

pcopisof the church, and also by mem-
bers of the church choir.

I’asis Concerning the Terrible Ballruad
Horror la Milli.
Only a small portion of the people of
this state can remember the terrible
railroad accident that occurred in this
city in the month of May, 186.), caused
by the plunging of a New York express
train into the harbor through the open
draw on the railroad bridge across our
harbor. This accident caused immense
excitement throughout the country, it
being at the time, and for many years
thereafter, the most serious one on
record.
The accident occured on Tuesday,
about the middle of May, to the New
\ork express train, which left New
York at 8.00 a. in., and was due here at
about 9.30. The train was running at
fall speed, not coming in sight of the
drawhridge until after passing around
the sharp curve at what was recently
Woodward's commonly slew hun-
The
locomotive, baggage and smoking can
and two passenger cars plunged into the
harbor, while the other two cars were
derailed and turned partly over and bad-
ly wrecked. The scene was one of pro-
longed horror, as the dead. dying and
mauled people, were taken from the
wreck.
The drowned and killed numbered
forty’six, and the injured as many more.
The forty-six dead, which were all lying
side by side in the old passenger station,
at the conclusions of the inquests, pre-
senting an awful sight, while those bud-
ly injured were to be found in many
houses near the depot.
The news of the disaster spread rapid-
ly, and anxious relatives and friends
llocked here in great numbers from the
east and west. A medical convention in
New York city adjourned the evening
before and large numbers of medical
men were on the train returning to their
homes in New England, several of whom
were killed and others injured.
Our state legislature being then in
session, sent here a special committee,
which committee arrived the day after
the disaster. This committee, consisting
of one senator and two representatives,
were directed to report what legislation
was necessary to prevent future acci-
dents of this kind. This committee
made it careful investigation and return.
ed to Hartford the some night, and the
nextdsy reporteda bill compelling all
trains on railroads where there were
drawbridges to come to s full stop in
sight of such bridge before crossing the
same, and this bill was passed through
both houses the next day and signed by
the Governor. This law was an eflect-
ive safeguard, and no accidents occurred
while it remained on the statute books
as originally enacted. After afew years
the managers of the New York and New
Haven railroad became restive, and flu-
ally obrained permission to run freight
trains over tirawbridges without making
a stop, and the consequence was that in
less than one year three freight trains
were run into open draws, the engines
and many cars being dumped to the bot-
tom of the harbors. Two of the acci-
dents occurred at Bridgeport, the other
at Saugatuclr. The law has been amend-
ed eel eral times on the petition of direc-
tors of the New Haven road, so that now
the v: hole power regarding running over
drawhridges is in the hands of the Rail-
road ifommissloners, and unless some
action is taken by the commissioners or
the on legislature, we may expect
some dreadful accident that will compel
the reenactment of the original law.
Time is a fearful responsibility on the
railroml commissioners, and they ought
to act fearlessly and forbid the running
of passenger trains over drawbridges
without coming to a full stop in sight of
the draw, and they ought to do it at
once.
As to Vice- President Reed's automatic
device to sidetrack trains into a gravel
bank, especially in the winter months
when the gravel bank is frozen, and the
Baker heaters in the cars and full of live
coals, and the train muniug 3.5 or 40
miles per hour, enough has been‘said to
show that it ought not to be allowed
another day.
Thatcher railmad' commissioners'whc
are appointed and paid by the State to
look after tas'satsqyosudiiuisssstsointae
traveling public, should have granted
permission to the Consolidated railroad
to run trains over draw-bridges without a
stop when equipped with VicePresideut
Reed's quixotic derailing and sand bank
device, is, to put it mildly, increditahle,
and the sooner it is revoked, now that
the device has been proved highly dan-
gerous, the better for the public and the
commissioners.

REVIVAL SERVICES.
The flood Work Itaiag Dons at the l'lrat
I. It. church.
The revival services which have been
going on at the Methodist Church, this
city, for some time, are increasing in
interest and results. Yesterday the
Sunday school scholars reported their
missionary collections for the past
month. which aggregated the handsome
sum of $111.06. At a prayer service
held at the close of the session the altar
was filled with those seeking religion.
In the evening, after a brief but telling
sermon by the pastor, revival services
were held, and again the altar was tilled.
Revival services will be held every even-
ing this week except Monday and Satur-
day, and everybody is invited to attend.

The man who hunts muskrals there has
been taxed $36 for the privilege, and is

Dollars Even Ilurer Than l'sual.
The missing dollar of 18M is said to
have turned up. In that year but four
silver dollars were coined. The where-
abouts of three of these have long since
been known to coin collectors but the
fourth hm been missing. Dr. Edward
Walther, of St. Paul, Ilium, is new ad-
vertised to have found the long lost piece
in the pomion of an aged Norwegian
living in the southern part of his state,
who has kept the piece in the depths of
a stocking for many years. The doctor
paid $130 for the dollar. It is quoted in
coin catalogues at 3800.
The Small-Pox Scare.
The smallpox scare at Meriden has
not abated, but rather increased. A sera
vant girl named Cassidy has fallen vic-
tim lo the disease and been removed to
the pest-house, where the other cases
are. Thursday night, John Swanson,
one of the cases in the Polish quarter,
eluded the vigilance of quarantine and
escaped, and the next that was heard of
him was yesterday afternoon, when he
turned up in New Haven, walked to the

he had the small-pox. An eruption had
already make its appearaube on his face
to partially confirm his statement.
Swanson, or Swansea. as he ave his

which was hastily fitted up.
It is now stated that the disease start.

There is not much doubt that she had
