V Chapter of Other Accidents.
George Brotherton and “Todg” Burr,
of Norwalk, while returning from West-
port, yesterday afternoon, encountered
a large farm-wagon, drawn by two
horses, going down the hill near the
Children's Home. One of the animals
fell, causing the pole of the wagon
to stick several inches in the road. The
horses, becoming frightened, leaped into
the air and broke the pole, and then
freed themselves from the wagon.
The driver was pulled out and the wagon
went crashing down the hill, nearly
Icolliding with the vehicle containing
Brotherton and Burr. The former jump-
ed out and captured the frightened
horses, while the farmer went chasing
after his fleeing wagon. The damage
done besides the broken pole, was a
broken harness. The horse which fell
received several cuts on his forelegs.
An Overturned Lamp Causes a Blaze.
There was an incipient blaze last-night
in the home of Richard Dunker, who
occupies a portion of John H. Knapp‘s
double house at Elm Grove place. Mr.
Dunker set a lighted lamp on the stair:
way while he went into another room to
look for a book. In some manner the
lamp was overturned and the oil ran
down stairs, the blaze following and burn.

The fire was extinguished by Mr. Dun-
ker and his family, with the assistance
of several neighbors.
Blocked the Tracks Two Hours.
The down train on the Danbury divi-
sion, due in Norwalk at l:35,did not
leave there, yesterday afternoon, until
nearly 2 o’clock, as the blockade on
the road caused by two freight cars
jumping the rails at noon. just below the
gas house, was not cleared up until that
time. One of the freight cars was slight-
ly damaged by having the end smashed
in. The accident was caused by the
cars jumping the switch.
Jumped on and 'l'hen Back on the Track.
An empty freight car on the Pittsfield
freight, going from Wilson Point to
Piltafleld, this morning, jumped the track
at the frog near the Monroe street cros-
sing, and ran a distance of about 500
feet, when the car struck another frog
at the south end of the depot. and went
on the tracks again, none of the trainmen
knowing of the occurrence. Several ties
and some planking at the baggage room
entrance were shattered.
Killed by Lightning.
Owen McCarthy, twenty-five years old,
was sick in bed with rheumatism, at the
home of his father, Martin McCarthy.
in Newton, when a ball of fire entered
the room where he was lying, during a
thunder storm Monday morning, and
struck the bedstead on which he reposed,
fl its occupant. Mr. McCarthy was
rendered unconscious and he lived but a
few moments. The bed was partially
wrecked.
Lightnlnn Strikes in flawleyvllle.
Rufus Baldwin, of iiawieyville. was
sitting in his house, Monday evening,
when a thunder bolt knocked him out of
his chair. The bolt also went into the
stove and spilled the tire over the floor.
The carpet took lire, but the blaze was
extinguished. A new belonging to Wil.
liam Hawley, of Hawloyville, was struck
by lightning during the storm and killed.

Miss Kate O'Connell, who, for the past
thirteen years, has been employed as a
domestic in the family of Charles E.
Ferris, Bayview avenue, died suddenly
this morning at 3 o’clock. She had been
ailing for about two weeks, having a
slight attack of remittent fever, and as
she appeared to be growing weaker, Mr.
Ferris had made preparations to have
her removed to the Norwalk hospital to-
day. She came from Ireland and went
direct to Redding, where she had a mar-
ried sister, and came to South Norwalk
a few days afterward. The funeral will
be held from St. Mary's church, Friday

the pastor, Rev. H. E. Wing, formerly of
South Norwalk, come into the church
using a cane and crutch in walking, also
tostand during the service. Saturday,
rheumatism had attacked his right knee,
but not so badly but what he was able to
walk down town. Saturday night he
grew worse and, Sunday morning, his
back was also affected and he could not
move without the aid of both crutch and
cans. He determined, bad as he was
feeling, to conduct services, and was
taken to the church in a back, where he
gave one of the best discourses be ever
preached there,few realizing the physical
suffering he was undergoing. Sunday
evening Mr. Wing was so much worse
that it would have been impossible for
him to have filled his pulpit. He is now
much better.

DESTRUCTION 0F GARBAGE.
A Description of the System Successfully
Used at It. Innis.
The company which holds the con—
tract for. disposing of the garbage in
St. Iouis has just completed an estab-
lishment there at a cost of $1,000,000.
The cart which brings the material
ascends an inclined plane to the third
story of the receiving building, where
it discharges its load into enormous
vertical cylinders, which are surrounded
by steam jackets, and then the water,
which makes up about three‘qusrters
of the garbage, is evaporated, or rather
distilled off, the vapor being condensed.
The condensed water, which is than
perfect harmless, is allowed to run 03
through the sewers. At a certain stage
of the drying, naphtha is pumped into
the cylinders and is allowed to remain
there for thirty or forty hours. This
dissolves all the fats, oil, and grease
out of the mass. After the proper time
has elapsed the naphtha, with its dis-
solved oil, is pumped out again into
stills, where it is distilled by the steam
heat. The volatile nahptha is allowed
torun back from the condensers into
the storage tank, while the fat which is
left in the stills as a brown oily mass is
drawn off into barrels. It may be
bleached, so as to be made perfectly
white. After extracting the grease,
what remains in the cylinders is dried
a little more, and when the last vestige of
naphtha has been driven off it is removed
through a door in the bottom.
Itisnowa brown mass, f from all
unpleasant odor and apparently dry,
although it still contains five or six per
cent. of water. Asit has not been heated
sufficiently to cause destructive distilla-
tion of the solid portions, it contains
practically all the nitrogen of the fresh
garbage, and after it has been closely
ground and packed in barrels or bags it
commands a ready sale all over the coun-
try. It is called St. Louis garbage tank~
age, and brings in New York and Boston
from $0 to $12 a too. The city of Buffalo
uses the some system, and delivers its
garbage to a contractor who is paid '35,-
000 a year for treating it.
Local Stationers interested.
Internal Revenue Collector Byxhee has
received a letter from the treasury de-
partment at Weshingtomsigned by G.
W. Wilson, acting commissioner, notify-
ing him that in view of" the tariff bill be-
coming s law he will take the necessary
steps insecure from dealers and menu-
facturers in this district a sworn state-
ment as to the number of packs of play-
ing cards on hand when the new law
goes into effect. All packs of cards sold
after the new bill becomes a law must
be stamped. The information so secured
by the collector must be sent immediate-
ly to the departures: at Washington.
Collector Byxbee says that when the bill
becomes a law and dealers make sales of
packs of playing cards after that time
and before the time the stamps were re.
solved, it would be legal for the dealer
