Cargo of Soil Coal, With Splin-
tered Ties and iron Work
Thrown Into the Street.
While Four Other Cars Are
Also Wrecked

I

One of the most serious freight
lwrecks to occur in The Norwaiks in
years. took place yesterday morning
about 10 o'clock on the tracks of the
Danbury Division. scarcely three hun-
dred feet from the main line. Fort-
unately no lives were lost, and on one
.was injured, though six heavily loaded
freight cars were scattered about as if
they had been mere toys.

The train was freight No. 556. north-
bound. It had drawn out of the South
Worwalk station. and was going at a
moderate rate of speed toward the
Norwalk freight yards. Just as the mid-
dle of the train was over the Ann
street bridge. something very emphati-
. pally happened. What it was, the train»
men themselves are not positive. but
the general opinion held seems to be
that the rails spread letting the wheels
on one side go down on the ties. A
gondola car. carrying thirty tons of
Soft coal. reared in the air and the
front trucks came down on the gird-
ers of the Ann street bridge. plunging
through them as if they had been so
much straw. The car stopped when it
struck the iron structural work of the
bridge, but the trucks went down
through and hung in the street. A
torrents of soft coal was precipitated
Into the street below. The big tics.
616 were snapped off short. and coal
splinters and ironwork went to earth
la a shower. The car wedged there
and five others, three of which were
con] laden and two loaded with a mis-
cellaneous cargoes were scattered
about in all direction. One big box
car was throwu completely around at
right angles to the track and the
others telescoped and crushed and
jammed each other until they were
complete wrecks. Engineer Edson '1‘.
Harris. of South Norwalk. stopped
the remaining cars as soon as he
could and the train crew went back
to make an investigation Fortunately
It was found that up one had been in-
llured.

The wrecking train from New Ha-
(yen was summoned and arrived in a
short. time.

Fortunatfly- one only train which
runs over the tracks on May morn-
Ing. had gone to Dnnbury or it nouid
have been unable to make the trip
for some time. There were no other
trains. so traffic was not delayed in
the least by the accident.

The wrecking crew worked in the
drenching rain all the morning. and
after a brief interval for their din-
ners resumed work to clear the trucks.
(The wrecker did not leave for New
Haven until 9 o'clock last night. The
bridge and tracks are so badly dammi-
ed that. a large gang of men was at
[work today putting ihvm in repair and
getting things straightened out. A
large crowd of persons assembled to
witness the work of the wrecking dor-
rlck which is u very powerful one.
The derrick hooked on to the our ioad~
ed with soft coal and despite the fact
that. it was stuck in the bridge sur-
ccdcd in swinging it clear so that new
trucks could be placed under it. and
It could be towed to some place Wllt'l‘l’
more extensive repairs could be made

Congressman Hill Suggests
That the City of Norwalk
Send a Delegation to Wash
legion to Lay Situation Be-
fore the Board of Review

 

Pluns‘have just been completed to pan

arouse the people of the City of Nor,
walk to the importance of waging a

vigorous campaign to secure a ten-

foot channel at low tide. from "the
South Norwalk docks to the bond of
navigation in Norwaik, just below the
Wall street :brtdgc.

At the suggestion of Congressman
E. J. Hill, the city will probably send
a committee of three men to Waste
fusion, to lay the situation before the
lioard of Review. which is composed
entirely of engineers. and whose ac
tlon will have a great deal to do with
the ultimate result in Cong. ass.

The engineer of this district has
already made recommendation that
the channel be made ten feet deep
from the lower harbor to the South
Norwulk docks and from there up
eight feet. Congressman lliil has as-
sured the Norwalk business men that
he believes there is an excellent
chance of getting the chnnnci made
ten foot. from South Norwulk. if they
will work for this improvement.

it is not known just how much
straightening of the prompt channel
is called for in the elglfi-fnot recom-
mendation, and this matter will be
gone into. in addition to the lack of
water, big vessels hays trouble in
getting by some of tho Iotuone curves
in the upper harbor. Particularly is
this tr'ue off Oyster Shell Point. An
added advantage of s. straighter chan-
ml would be the less likelihood of the
channel filling to) quickly with mud.

The campaign to improvn the upper
harbor has been taken up by George
E Curtis. Mr. Curtis has already talk.
ed over the matter with Mayor Wel-
lnce Dann and several of the business
men who receive big shipments by
water. Everybody thus for approached
has been very enthusiastic. Mayor
Dunn will bring the. sublect to the
attention of the city council next Mon.
day night and, if deemed advisable
will include it in u call for a special
city mung: to be hcldmhortly. Fig
urea of the commerce of the harbor
for the past your will be compiled and
an estimate of the business for the
coming year will also be made.

As an indication of the inadequate
ness of tho entire harbor at the pros-
cnt time may be «tiled in the case of
the big schooner Morse. which dellv‘
cred a cargo of pulp at the St. timirgc
Pulp and Paper Company's plant in
Norwalk. recently. and which is about
duo with another load, from New
Brunswick. 'l‘ho ‘ Morse consumed
nimul two works in gutting from of!

Negotiations for Transfer of C.

Have Been Practically Com-
plated

 

 

Public announcement was made in
Philadelphia last week through the
daily newspapers on the authority of
the United Gas and improvement com-
pany that a deal had been practically
consummated whereby the Connectb
out Railway & Lighting company had
been leased by the Consolidated Rail-
way company. It was stated that the
terms of the loans were such that it
would add I12 to the value of three 350
shares in the U. G. 1. company.

This announcement explains why
President A. M. Young of the Connecti:
cut Railway & Lighting company
has not. been "sold." When he said
‘t had not been sold he was telling the
truth ‘but be neglected to say or at
least. did not say that it had not, been
leased and that so far as the conduct
of the Connecticut Railway a Lighting
company is concerned that the effect
‘lI the issue will be the same as a sale.

it is now clear that it is only a. ques-
:lou of a short time before the Con-
solidated Railway company will take
hold of the local lines. The name of
the Connecticut Railway & Lighting
company may continue to be used but
the management will be under the die
rection of the Consolidated ituilwuy
:ompsny and may be followed by ex-
onuivo changes in the system.
