A RICH SEA'ATOR DYIJVG.

Washington, Jan. 12.—Senator
Hearst, of California, is very low and
all the members of his family have been
summoned to his bedside. The disease,
cancer of the stomach, has been great-
ly aggravated in the past two days.
He is 72 years of age, and will leave

SJIASH ON THE ELEVATED.
The Engineer, Fortunately, the only Person
Injured.
New York, J an. 12th.—A collision
occurred on the Third Avenue Eleva-
ted railroad, near 118th street, yester-

day forenoon, between a regular south

bound passenger train of four cars and
a drill engine which was proceeding in
an opposite direction. The signal for
the down train to stop had been set,
but the engineer of the passenger train,
Joseph Sweeney, did not apparently
notice it until he was within 50 feet of
the drill engine. This was badly dam-
aged and finally thrown into the street.
Charles Melz, the engineer of the drill
engine, was badly scalded and will
probably die. It is said at headquar-
ters that gross carelessness exists some-
where and a searching investigation
will be made. Crowds of people visit-
ed the spot at the time to see the wreck
and travel was delayed nearly two
hours.

Michael Ledwith, tnc fireman, was
swept down the river, but being a good
swimmer he reached the shore safely.
Edward Bawrnann, a passenger, was
swept down about 400 feet and was al-
most drowned. Brakeman Chas.Briggs
also swam ashore and was badly chilled
as were the other three in the icy and
turbulent current.

They were cared for at the house of
Martin McCluskey. A wrecking train
was despatched to the scene of the ac-
cident. The bridge was of wood sixty
feet long, and it will be several days
before travel can be resumed.

TROUBLE AT BIRNIINGHADI.
The Floating Ico Does $10,000 "’oth of
Damage.

Birmingham, Conn, Jan. 12.—The
most serious freshet, which has occurred
in the Housatonic river this year,
swept down between eight and nine
o’clock this morning with great fury.
The ice above the Housatonic dam
broke about 8 o’clock and rushed down
in’ immense volumes, sweeping under
the bridge and passing Two Mile Island,
where it came in contact with a solid
field of ice.

The floating blocks caromed ofi’ col-
liding with the dam and backing the
water up in the river to an unusual
height. In many places the meadows
between Birmingham and Ansonia,
were submerged to a depth of five or
six feet. The ice in passing under the
railroad bridge of the Derby extension
swept away three hundred feet of pil-
ing, snapping the big timbers like pipe
stems.

The heavy spiles were uprooted and
carried down the river with a rush.
The railroad tracks and upper timbers
are now hanging down into the river
dropping ofi‘ one by one. The cast pier
of the iron span of the bridge is expect-
ed. to fall into the river every minute.
This destruction of the iron bridge is
the most serious result of the freshet,

THE STORM ON THE SOUND.
.4 New Haven Steamer not yet Arrived at
Her Destination.

New Haven, Jan. 12.—A fierce storm
is raging on the sound. The wind is
from the west and is blowing a gale.
The steamer New Haven, of the old
line of steamers, left her dock at Bridge
street last night, and proceeded on her
trip down the harbor as far as the
breakwater. There it was found that
the storm was too much for her and
she was turned about and headed for
her dock again, where she arrived in
two hours. The steamer John H. Star-
in, of the Starin line, which left her
dock last night on Brewery street, for
New York at 9 o’clock has not yet been
heard from. It is thought she has
probably run into some of the Sound
ports for safety. The harbor is filled
with vessels of all descriptions which
have run into the harbor for safety.

 

REMEMBERING COLUMBUS.

Washington, Jan. 12.—The Spanish
Government has decided, instead of
erecting a monument to commemorate
the discovery of America by Columbus,
to rebuild the old port of Palos from
whence he sailed, and to erect a monu-
ment near the Old convent of La Rabi-
ca, where the great explorer took ref-
uge. It will be dedicated October 14,
1892. _‘

S0 UTII—NOR WALK
Prominent citizens are giving the
GAZETTE full credit for its complete and
impartial reports of .1711”? liquor cases.

“What are they lilltting salt on the
rails for?” the reporter recently heard
a young lady on a horse car query. We
did not catch the reply of her escort,
but it is our private opinion that it was
because the weather clerk was getting
a little too fresh; '

The G. A, R. representatives of the

night, to meet with the general confer-
ence committee, and report that a unani-

placing of a suitable Soldiers’ Monu-
ment in the Darien cemetery.
hoped that the senators and represent-
atives from this and all other counties
will earnestly chgm'pioyn the petition.

Yesterday noon a horse car, coming
down, was stalled on the little rise Op-
posite the old Congregational church.
It had been stepped to let somebody
off, and as it was heavily loaded with
people, and the road-bed very slippery,
the horses were unable for some time to
set it in motion. The platforms were
crowded with men, only two of whom
seemed to know enough to step ofl’ a
minute and give the poor brutes a
chance. Finally, after a severe and de-
termined struggle, accompanied with
many slips of their feet, which appear-
ed to be rather smoothly shod,they got
away and proceeded on their weary
journey. A little humanity shown the
overstrained car. horses, would greatly
mitigate their sufferings many times.

SOUTH NOR WALK LIQUOR CASES.

After our report closed Saturday, the
Commissioners took off the cases of
Jerry S. O’Brien and Herman Quit-
ner, which are the last of the cases to
be heard.

The first witness presented was Rev.
Mr. Wheaton, who, upon examination
by Mr. North, testified that he objected
to these saloons upon the old grounds,
viz. : proximity to the railroad and lia-
bility of patrons getting upon the
track while in an intoxicated condi-
tion. Witness pointed out upon the
city map the location of the saloons.
He based his impressions as to danger
upon hearsay and seeing people walk-
ing upon the track.

Upon cross-examination by Mr.Frost,
who represents both O’Brien and Quit-
ner, witness said that to get upon the
track from O’Brien’s saloon, it would
be necessary for a man to climb over a
three foot stone wall and a high wire
fence. He did not claim that the taking
away of O’Brien’s saloon would stop
the traffic on the railroad track.

Franklin A. Smith next appeared and
testified that he did not think the loca-
tion :of these saloons suitable, for the
reason that the Quitner saloon was too
near the railroad track and the public
school. Another reason was that it
was on the principal thoroughfare for
teachers and school children and young
ladies attending high-school. He had
often heard teachers complain of ac-
tions in front of the Quitner saloon.
Did not walk upon the track on his way
to and from business, as he thought it
dangerous. Heard of a man falling
through the railroad bridge some time
ago, and it was rumored that he was in-
toxicated, but had no knowledge to
that effect.

On cross-examination he testified
that if both saloons were taken away,
there would not be any less danger to
peOple walking on the track, nor would
there be less people walking thereon.

Chas. M. Lawrence testified that he
used to walk upon the track, but now
took the road. He conducts services in
the Chapel and is superintendent of the
Sunday-school. The O’Brien saloon is
an [eighth of a mile from the :Chapel.
There were not many of the Chapel
members who had to pass O’Brien’s
saloon, but quite a number of Sunday-
school children passed that way. The
location was not suitable as to the
O’Brien saloon, as it stood right in the
street. If a drunken man should sit
upon the fence running by O’Brien’s
saloon and fall off backwards upon the
track, he would be seriously injured.
What I have said about O’Brien would
apply equally as well to Quitner, but
Quitner did not conduct his place as
good as O’Brien. Had met drunken
men on the track coming towards the
city ; could not say where they obtain ed
their liquor. '

Cross-examined by Mr. Frost, witness
testified that there would not be less
danger on the track if these saloons
were abolished. :If a grocery store
was located in the O’Brien building, it
would still be right in the street.
Never saw a drunken man, sitting on
the fence, fall over backward upon the
track. The Sunday-school scholars
pass the O’Brien saloon on Sunday
when it is closed. Since O’Brien kept
the place, had never known it to be
open on Sunday.

Re-direct.— Had heard of persons
being killed upon the track, but had no
personal knowledge.

By Mr. Frost—Never knew of an in-
toxicated man coming from these sa-
loons and being run Over on the track.
Never knew where the intoxicated men
I met got their liquor.

Sylvester Keeler.—Know the location
Of these saloons, and am obliged to
pass both on my way to and from home.
As a property holder, I object to grant-
ing them a license; also object because
drunken men come along and lay upon
my bank. Have met persons under the
influence of liquor walking upon the
track, and consider ita dangerous place
for drunken men. Thought the loca-
tion of these saloons increased the num-
ber of drunken men.

Cross-examination.—Saw a drunken
man on his bank this fall, but did not
know where he got drunk, It was not
a frequent thing to meet drunken men
on the track. Two men fell off the
R. R.bridge, but did not know wheth-
er they were drunk or not, or came
from either of these, saloons. Am a
strong temperanceo man, and don’t be-
lieve in saloons being located any-
where. .

Seth Remington was the last witness,
and testified that he sometimes took
the track down, but not often. Cou-
sidered it very dangerous to walk upon
the track. and thought the location of
these saloons increased the' danger to
human life if the patrons go. upon the
track. Objects to granting a license
to these salOOns. . »

Cress-examined by‘ Mr. Frost, Wit-
ness testified that he did not object to
all‘saloon's, but did not wish to have,
any saloons, if possible. Witness finally
stated that he was opposed to any and
all saloons. If these- saloons were
taken away, he thOught there would be

Middletown, Jan. 12.~—Iu conse-
quence of the terrific rain storm, four
persons nearly lost their lives this
morning. The regular passenger train
of the Meriden, Waterbury & Crom-
well road which left Cromwell at 6:30
this morning, with :two passenger cars
one a combination and the other a
regular passenger car, was going at an
ordinary rate of speed when it reached
the bridge over the Little River. The
fireman, John Clyne, said that the
bridge was slightly out of plumb and
he told the engineer to stop, but it was
too late. , The water was very high and
large cakes of ice were rushing against
it and making the situation hazardous.
The engine struck the bridge and at
once plunged into the river, a depth of
about ten feet, followed by the combi-
nation car. Conductor Hall was swept
down the river about 200 feet and for-
tunately was enabled to grasp the limb
of a tree, where he was rescued by
brakeman John Lambert.

One “lay of Making a. Living.

There seems to be no limit to the variety
of ways in which a dollar can be earned by
a sharp. witted man. I know one who
makes a. comfortable living by attending
auction sales of furniture. He is not in
collusion with the auctioneer; in fact he
will only attend such sales as are genuine
and peremptory, where every article is sold
for; the highest figure bid, no matter how
low that may be. My friend simply trades
on the weakness of human nature, espe-
cially of the feminine variety. Many
women attend these sales, and are really
desirous of securing certain articles, but
shrink from the publicity of trying to out-
bid some other would~be purchaser.

They prefer to give two or three dollars
advance on the price paid by the successful
bidder. This man secures all he can of the
best bargains offered, and then disposes of
them at a small advance upon his outlay
to one or other of the disappointed bidders.
It is not unusual for him to clear from ten
to twenty dollars a day. There is no loss,
for even if the articles are left on his hands
he gets his money back by sending them to
-a general auction worm—New York ’l‘elc—
gram.

 

Quickly Popular.

In the book entitled “Famous English
Authors of the Nineteenth Century,”
Mrs. Sarah K. Bolton gives some facts in
regard to the instant popularity of the
poem “Marmion,” by Sir Walter Scott.

In less thanamonth after “Marmion”
was published the first edition of 2,000
copies was sold. It went rapidly through
many editions. The people read and re-
read it. The following story told by Hut-
ton is not at all improbable:

Two strangers met ouadark night in
London. Both were repeating the last
lines of the account of , Floddcn Field.
One man exclaimed “Charge, Chester,
charge!” when suddenly a reply came

 

out of the-darkness “On, Stanley, on!”

whereupon they finished the death of
Marmion between them, took off their hats
to each other, and parted, laughing.

Venus and Mercury.

The planet nearest the sun ‘is Mercury,
which is on the average about 35,400,000
miles away from that orb. Venus is nearer
to the earth than any other planet. When

both these bodies are on the same side of .

the sun, and when Venus is nearly on the

same line with the sun when viewed from.

the earth, it is only 26,000,000 or 27,000,000
miles away from us. The fixed star near-
est to the earth, so far as known, is the
Centaur-i, which is about 20,000,000,000,000
miles off—St. Louis Globe-Democrat.

Bread Consumption.

The weekly consumption of bread per in-
habitant’ in the United States is only five
and one-half pounds. or about three pounds
less than the general average for all coun-
tries of Europe. At the rate of only five
and one-half pounds of bread weekly 'per
inhabitant in the United States the an—

amount of 17,160,000,000‘pounds.——Ameri-

ket have been made by Mr. F. A. Kimball
and Mr. Ellwood Cooper. The experi—
ments have gone far enough to show that
the industry is very remunerative. The
best Olive oil I have ever tzmted anywhere
is that produced from the Cooper and ‘
Kimball orchards; but not enough is pro~
duced to supply the local demand. Mr.
Cooper has written a careful treatise on
olive culture, which will be of great serv-
ice to all growers. The art of pickling is
not ‘yetrmastered, and perhaps some other
variety will be preferred to the Old Mis-
sion for the table.

A mature olive grove in good bearing is
a fortune. I feel sure that within twenty-
five years this will be one of the most prof-
itable industries in California, and that the
demand for pure-oil and edible fruit in the
United States will drive out the adulter-

more useful mission if transformed into

a newspaper in Middlesborough. England,
to make the first adaptation of a steam
road rollerto printing purposes, and it was
with such a unique machine that The
Northeastern Daily Gazette printed an edi-
tion of 64,000 copies. . The motive power of
The Gazette office is a gas engine, but on,
the day in question an accident to the gas-
Works suddenly cut off the supply of gas. ~

A' gang of workmen were hastily Ob-
tained from a neighboring establishment,
and heavy iron plates were laid in the yard
adjoining the printing room, in the walls
of which a large opening was made. A
fifteen ton steam roller was then pushed
into the press room, shored up and belted

to the shutting, and. an hour after the _.,

usual time of going to press the presses
were started and the entire edition was.
