While going the rounds of the rotrte,
they had occasion to drive stress the
railroad track at Catharine. street, and
in so doing failed to keep a sharp
enough lookotrt for the approach of a
train ’i‘hls oversight resulted in the
death of a valuable horse.
Just as they were crossing the track.
a freight engine. running backward
came rolling down the grarle, bound
for South Norwalk to "double tip" on
a north bound freight. The animal's
forepart. was across one rail. when the,
on-rushlng lowmotive was discovr-red.
The horse's head was pulled around
suddenly. but too late to avoid the im-
pending collision.
Thc blunt end of the engine tender-
struck the animal with frrll force, tear-
ing him loose from the wagon. and de—
posited the carcass alongside the track.
some twenty‘flve or thirty feet away.
The shafts of the wagon were broken
off in the mix-up.
The astonished occupants of the
wagon remained unharmed alongside
the crossing. The vehicle, which is of
the usual covered variety, with glaris
doors and windows. was but. little dam-
aged, outside the broken shafts. ()lie
pane of glass was smashed and noted-
bly the running gear was somewhat
strained.
The engine crew stopped their pon-
derorls machine, and came back to as-
certain what-damage had been tlorre
as a result of the collision, but soon
went on when it was learned that tho-
occupants of the wagon had sustained
no bodily harm.

With a great crash. the wrxiden
bridge across the. Norwulir river in
iltrhbcll street just above the Nor-
walk fair groundsrpropcrty. was gar-
lied away early today. and different
portions of it are lodged in various
small creeks of the river for some dis-
tance below.
The bri e, which he‘s stood for fi
years a t all storms was. at
about 01,,000 brrt the Town of Nov-
walk wrll be out considerable more
than this amount, as undoubtco.y a
rnrrch more substantial structure will
supplant the wreck. it is estimated
that a now stone arch marge will cost
in the neighborhood of 83.600.
The damage was directly due to the
sudden warm rain storm, which began
last night. The ice on the ernnipauk
mill ponds wassomethrng like two feet.
in thickness. and when tire great tor-
i'-( nts of water from the rain and melt-
ing snow began pouring into the ponds
the ice began to break up. and soon
great cakes weighing hundreds of
pounds. were being carried over the
dams by the swirt current
The blight Wooden strritttlre, which
in its time was considered a worthy af-
fair, withstood the onslaught of the ice
during the most of the night, out early
this morning. it began to weaken and
finally succumbed to the gorge. and
was lifted from the stone abirtnrents
and carried along. It was soon in sev-
eral sections. and the planks hogan
separating and dashed along with the
many swirling currents.
This bridge. was forty-five feet in
length and sixteen feet .n breadth. It
is believed that the stone abutments
were unharmed.
The matter was reported to First
Selectman Samuel Lynes. who procure
ed a team during the morning, and
drove up to the place where the bridge
tormerly stood. There was brtt very
little for him to do; consequently he
turned his attention to the bridges be-
low, first looking after the new four
bridges, which was completed by 'the
town during the past year. This is a
stone bridge. and it is thought that it
will withstand the onslaught of the ice.
it was found that cakes of ice had
formed gorges about the stone piers,
but these will be cleared away with
all possible oelerity. in order to save
the structure, which met several thou-
sand dollars'to build. and many months
of hard labor, during which many ser-
ioua obstacles, l ludrng beds of quick-
sands, wereov ' ome.
There is practically no fear for- the
substantial bridge over-the river, on
the New Canaan road. and unless some
of th'e dams give away with the flood of
ice and water, the bridge over the
river at Cross'street, will be safe. ‘
From. Wilton it was reported this
morning that the bridge over the Nor.
walk river, near the Wilton railroad
is in a precarious position.
Tons—cf ice are smashing against its
support: and word is expected at any
glue that it has been carried down the
var. .

Man who Siloi Miss Mar-

William Carpenter, the young man
who shot Nevilles the girl he loved.
some weeks ago and who is now in the
Bridgeport jail. is insane. He has been
so adjudged by the doctors who have
examined him and the trial will proba-
bly be a merely perfunctory one and
he will in all probability be committed
to the state hospital for the insane at
Mlddletown as sum as the proper “steps
can be taken after the trial. it. was be-
lieved while he was in the lockup here
that he was insane as a result of the
excessive use of morphine. He had
wild spells of raving about th‘e girl
whom he had shot and it was, 'ilnpos
sible apparently for him to talk con-
nectedly at times. While it was at
first believed that this condition of his
mind might have been caused by his
anxiety regarding the condition of the
girl this idea soon gave place to the
conviction that he was insane and that
periods of violence were common with
him. This was confirmed by his moth
er's statement and has since become
more apparent since he has been con-
fined in the Bridgeport jail.
Since he has been there he has had
several spells of this ’kind and an ex-
amination of him has been made by
alienlsts who do not hesitate to pro
nounce him insane.
His case will come tip for trial to-
morrow in all probability. That will
be his defense and it will probably
be satisfactory to the court in view
of-the fact that the Nevilles girl has
practically recovered from the bullet
worrnds which be caused.
