Much complaint is made because of
the loose cobbles on our sheets. in
some sections the stones have been
washed out by the severe rains; in others
they are there from the negligence of
those engaged in carting earth for the
streets. The difficulty of keeping ngood
surface on the hill streets may be an
excuse for their condition, but there is
no excuse for sprinkling cobbles out of
cart! on other thoroughfares. The
carts used for the city seem to be woful-
ly deficient of tuil'bonrds. Instead of
being thc’beighl of the sides of the carts
they come up about four inches. just
high enough to allow the cobbles to be
joetled out of the carts. Once in a while

over the street: when tho cobble- are

tion of the party enjoyed themselves with
some friends in the grove while Mr. Van-
Hocsear went clamming. A day of
pleasure was spent by the party and they
started for home shortly after four p.m.
The direction they took was through
Five Mile River and it was necessary for
them to pass over one of the moat dan-
gerous crossings on the Consolidated
road. The depot shuts off from view
the trains that come from the cut and
the deep cut and sharp curve make it
almost impossible to see east bound trains.
The party reached the hill leading to the
crossing and stopped the horse to listen
for a coming train. They started again.
and at that time the whistle of the New-
port express from the cast was heard.
and Mrs. Chas. Prince. who lives near the
track tried to warn the party that a. train
was coming. However, they kept on up
the hill. and when the horse reached the
east bound track it seemed to atop for a
second. At that moment Mr. VanHooa-
ear evidently realized his danger and
struck the horse with the whip. The
horse leaped across the track and the
express dashed into the vehicle throwing
the occupants in all directions; a mass of
bleeding and mangled flesh. The train
was stopped as soon napossible and what
remained of the unfortunate family was
taken to the depot. Medical Examiner
Burke was at once sent for and arrived
shortly afterward. The head of Mr.
Vnnlioosear was cut nearly off. his legs
were broken and his body horribly mut-
ilated. The wife‘s body was crushed
very badly. and Mrs. Rider's injuries
were horrible to behold. Her body was
literally a mass of' mangled flesh. The
boy‘s death was caused by a crushing of
the head.
There were a number cf eye witnesses
to the accident, and an impression was
made on their minds that can never be
obliterated. ()ne of the men who works
in Boyleston’s factory says that just be-
fore the train struck the wagon. the lit-
tle boy threw his arms around the neck
of one of the women. Large crowds
congregated at the scene of the accident
during the evening and the and news
spread rapidly over the state.
fir. Burke telegraphed for Medical Ex-
aminer Downs cf Bridgeport.ncting depu-
ty for Coroner Holt. who arrived at about
nine a.m Wednesday morning. They
proceeded to take the testimony of the
engineer and fireman who were running
the train which caused the accident.
which was given as follows:
Samuel tl. Peat. engineer of the ex~
press train that killed the party. stated
that he had never before run into a per-
son nince he had been on the road. The
Newport express that. he was running
arrived in this city at. 4.54, and when
they reached the Five Mile River cros-
sing'the train he thought. was going at
the rate of thirtyfive miles an hour. He
saw the horse‘s head when a short dis—
tance from the crossing. and the animal
was standing still. A second later. and
the horse was scram the track and the
wagon was on the. west bound track.
He at once reversed the engine and put
on the air brakes and the train was stop-
ped after gomg about 60 rods. He said
that he rang and New at all the poets
according to law. The bodies were put
in the baggage car and conveyed to the
Five Mile River depot. A delay of twen-
ty-seven minutes was caused by the ac-
cident.
John Harmon. the fireman. saw the
team come up on the east bound track
and stand still for an instant. He could
see four persons in the wagon, and after
waiting useccnd the driver struck the
horse with the whip. and the animal
gave a jump across the track. The
engineer saw the team coming up the
bill, but he did not.
After viewing the remains at B. S.
Gregory‘s office. Dre. Burke and Downs
went to Five Mile River to gather facts
in the case at that place. Station Agent
Themes was 3 eye witness to the acci~
dent and testified to the facts as above
stated. Mrs. Prince said that she
shouted to the party to stop. but her
warning was unneeded. She says the
horrible night will never fade from her
memory.
Mr. Van Hooaenr was the brother
'of Henry Van Hooeeur, formerly of this
ciby, and also of Sylvester Van Hooeeur,
who died in the borough a few years
ago. He was n wealthy farmer in New
Canaan and one of the moat respected
citizens of that town. For several you.
be held the office of president of the
Farmer‘s club of that place. and be and
bin wife were both prominent member:
of the Methodist' church. Mrs. Van
Hooseur was the New Cnnnan visitor to
the county home at Strutford, and was
an estimable woman. Mrs. Rider was
ormerly from Silver line but; but to-
ntly resided with the Van Home”
family. .
Undertaker Gregory took the bodies of
Mr. and Mrs. Van Boone“ to the New
Canaan Metbcdint church this morning
where the funeral services of the four
victims of the accident was held at 10
o‘clock. A large number of their friends
and relatives from this town attended.
