list has ever occurred in this vicinity.
ii, lened ‘tiiis noon, just about 12
it.‘whcn Clarence E. Beach. the
8-year-old son of Engineer Elliot
each. of New Haven. was crushed to
death under .the heavy wheels of a
5’ vol train. The accident happened
n.
Washington ’street railroad bridge.
., hereithc mains of the lad lay for over
a hour. or until they could be remov-

al; the order of the medical examin-

f ifé‘raecident, was an unusually and
one. The bi‘ly'after repeated pleadings
'with his father. was given the permis-
sion to, ride with him on the engine,
while his mother and sister Alice were
away visiting. This was it been that
he looked forward to with boyish ile-
light, and he sat proudly by his fath-
er's side when he started out from New
Haven. this morning. The engine. No.
170, drawing fifteen flat cars laden with
sand. and two cabooses, proceeded to
South Norwaik. 0n arriving here En.
glneer Beach received order to back his
tralnlup, and it was while this was be-
ing donc that the boy met his death.
It is supposed the lad was attempt—
ing to pass from one caboose to the
other. slipped .and fell under the
wheels. which ground him to pieces.
As choices the accident was discover-
ed, the train was brought to a stand—
still, but not until six cars had passed
over his body, mangllng it so that it
was almost unrecognizable. 'i‘he lad's
brains were strewn along the track for
a distance of about thirty feet. both
legs tornvcff; and the whole was a
gruesome sight. The car had to be
looked iipto allow the body to become
disentan'glcd. and after this was done a
. stretcher was procured and the remains
laid on it and covered.
The father of the boy was distracted
over ; thcnhcclilpptp and. went about
speechless; wringing his hands. He
‘ did not 'know how he could tell his
fit"? and daughter the sad news. A
‘delephonc message Was sent for Medi-
cal Examiner Samuel ll. Huntington.
had he quickly arrived and viewed the
remains. permitting their removal to
the father‘s home in New Haven. As
soon as news of the accident reached
hwdmiartei's at New York. a. message
was forwarded, stating that Engineer
Beach would be relieved of duty, and

 
 

that another engineer would take his-

place.

The news of the accident spread rap—
idly. and within a few minutes a large
crowd was on the scene. attracted out
of morbid curiosity. §o many were
drawn to the spot that a guard had to
be established to keep people away.
and to prevent further accidents from
the trains coining past the spot quite
frequently at this time of day. Deputy
Sheriff J. W. Sculley was one. of those
who assisted in this work. The en‘gi-
ricer. although he was acquainted with
practically no one here. had the sympa-
thy of veryone. many tendering it

" freelli‘.‘ roilerick H. ll‘icld was quite
\vcll Acquainted with the engineer and
the accident was a great shock to him.

Arrangements wore made this after—
nooii. to take the remains to the fam-
iiy residence. 173 Howard avenue. New

Music llail presented an unusually
merry and entrancing scene last cv-
cning. tho occasion being the twenty-
iirst annual ball of Putnam Hose Com-
pany of Smith Norwalk. Last cven-
iiig’s affair was no different from all
its predecessors in one way. as all the
annual events given by this company
have been flattering successes, yet this
was given on a more elaborate scale
than ever and proved a most unquali-
fying social and financial success.

The committee in charge had work.
ed hard to make the event, a notable
one in the history of the company and
in this they had not failed. The at-
tendance was all that could be desired.
the large. ball being well filled all the
evening. the music excellent. and if
anyone did not thoroughly enjoy him
self it was not the company‘s fault.
The decorations were not showy. but
very pretty. On either side of the
stage large palms had been placed.
making a very pretty setting for the
lively scene below.

There were twonty-four dances on
the program. divided into two parts.
including the waltz. ianciers, two-stop
and caprico and. with frequent en-
cores. the nierriment was kept up un-
til this morning. Svec's concert or-
chestra of eight pieces furnished cn~
iranclng music and many of those
present were so captivated that they
responded to every number. the result
being that the hall was comfortably
filled at all times. Shortly before mid-
night refreshments were served under
the direction of the entertainment
committee and this part of the pro-
uram was a big feature for nearly an
hour.

The souvenir programs were neat
affairs of gold and green. gotten Olll.
iii twenty-six pages. and the commit-
tee in charge of this work came in for
their share of compliments during the
evening. Ina ditlon to the dancers
the sldes’ of th hall were well filled
with spectators and many sought the
artillery to look down upon the guy
and merry scone below.

Although the ball was in charge of
the entire. company especial credit at-
taches to the following committees
who worked in season and out of sea-
son to make lhc affair the success it
was: li‘loor manager. Moses i’. little

Judge Light Opens the Discussion.

Judge John H. .l.igbt seconded the
resolution, station that he favored it
for two reasons; first. because he was

Norwalk were in favor of ii. and sec-

interest of the people of the Second

what is the use of the sentlnientalists

es the other with lesions eyes, there
can be no proaross."

Judge Light thought that there
would be more friendship if the town
was divided. The cause of friction
lvvonld be obliterated. in closing he
said: “We are here to get the ex-
pression of the people on this petition.
We. already have the signatures of ov-
cr one'lia‘f of this city on the petition.
and i believe that if we unltedly ask
division of the legislature. we will get
it." The speech was closed amid loud
applause.

Gen. Front Makes a Strong Speech.

Chairman Oavanaixh called for fur-
ther remarks and General Front. in his
ile thereto and convincing style.
pressed himself in favor of division.
Ho said he was fully in accord with
wliatMr. Light had said. but especially
wished to emphasise hia~ccncludlns
remark, "if we unitodly shit it, we will
not it." had that in the only way to
cut anything. "Separation is inovlb

be wiped off tho face of the earth and
there hurt a single function of gov-
