Accident On The Consolidated.
l Thursday night between Greens Farms
and Soutbport the through freight train
for Boston, on the Consolidated road,
broke in two, and before anything could
be done to prevent it, the rear section
crashed into the forward part. Several
cars were badly wrecked and the up track
thoroughly blocked. The train leaving
South Norwalk at 9:44 p. m., was obliged
to switch onto the down track at WEED-
port in order to pass the wreck, making
it over an hour late at Bridgeport. No
one was hurt by the accident and the only
damage done was the wrecking of the cars
and the delay to travel. The wreck, was
caused by the engineer disregarding a rule
of the road which, in cases of trains
breaking in two, requires the engineer to
keep moving forward until he is sure that
the cars which have broken loose have
stopped- In this case, it is said, that the
engineer backed the forward part of the
train and met the other part while both
sections were moving quite rapidly. The
crash was terrific. Nine cars were
wrecked and their contents scattered
around promiscuously.

A Valuable Record.
There has been deposited and recorded
in the town clerk’s office at Wilton, a
perfect copy of the inscriptions (as far as
deciphgrable) found on the monuments
’or tomb stones in the old cemetery, in
that place, near the residence of Sherman
Morehouse. This list is alphabetically
arranged and may be of great assistance
to some in determining the last resting
place of their ancestors. The work of
preparing the list has been a lengthy and
arduous one, as the first stones examined
were common flat ones, such as are taken
from the fields. But few of these are
marked at all save by one or two initial
letters cut therein. The next in order
as were the slate slabs, the lettering on
which was very shallow, yet, notwith
standing this fact, the inscriptions were
as perfect as when cut. The red sand
stones were next taken. These were
covered by moss and in many cases it
was extremely hard to decipher the luv
scriptions. The marble stones were the
last ones to be examined, and many of
them were so discolored and seamed
by age asI-tti make the deciphering very
difficult. I‘here was one of‘ the latter
which had completely dissolved while
several others were broken and almost
buried in the earth.
Supplementary to the above list is en-
othcr, embracing the names of all those.
who, from the best authority, are believed
to be buried in that cemetery, "but who
have no stone to mark their graves.
‘ This latter list is, of necessity. crude and
incomplete, and as this class constitutes
onegthird of these buried in the cemetery, .
5 ing yet been decided upon.
any one who may have reliable know’iedgc

Death of a Lighthouse Heroine.
Miss Lewis, sister of Ida Lewis, “the
Grace Darling of America," died Tuesday
morningfromcousumptiou. She breathed
her last at Lime Rock Lighthouse and
within sight of the boats used by herself
and her sister in rescuing many lives from
drowning. Now that she is gone, it can
be said that, without her assistance, many
ives would have been lost in the vicinity
of the light. She was always ready to
accompany her daring sister, but shrank
from any publicity being given her deeds.
Deceasedwas young and handsome. .

without some trophy of their day’s sport
one 'of the party resorted to shooting
chickens belonging _to parties in the neigh-

WILTON FARMERS CLUB.
The 158th meeting of the Wilton Far-
mers’ club was held Nov. 5th. Question :
“Fall Plowing.” .
The secretary was called to. open the
question on the rule of suggesting, which
he did as follows :
The practice of plowing in the fall
seems to have fallen iutodisrcpute, and in
this section is not practiced as often as it
was years ago. The cause seems to be
from the introduction of a new mode of
plowing and cultivating with the improv-
ed implements for doing such work. The
Syracuse plow, full rigged with the small
plow in front, which plows about one
inch deep and five inches wide, turning
the soil over onthe sod to be turned over
by the big plow that follows, leaving it
when turned so that part of the furrow
slice that the little plow has removed is
left without any turf on and consequently
is all mold. If it is plowed in the spring
no cross plowing is needed, as no grass
will appear to hinder cultivation during
the summer, and is yet mellow enough.
The two grass surfaces being turned to-
gether when the ground is warm will for-
ment, and still more heat be produced:
stimulating the young growing plants,
The organic matter decomposed furnishes
plant food. Less harrowing is required,
and it being merely turned, the seed you
put in will get started before the weeds.
For cultivated crops I tliiuk I can bring
them through the season of their growth
with at least onethird less work than if
fall plowed, the ground being so hard it
requires severe harrowing, and even then
grass and weeds will start. If you cross
plow, you pull up turf that has laid dor-
mant, but will readily come to life when
Lea: and sunlight is given it, and you
will have to hoe these, turning them over
and over all summer. This working
can see no reason of it, for the stimulat-
ing of the plant, which, if placed where
the downward roots can penetrate them,
taking -up uutriment with their little
months, is kept moist just the condition
for their use. These are reasons enough,
we think, and more, too, to balance the
claims or advantages the question may
sustain for fall planting. It would be but
just to enumerate the latter, as we think
there are cases where it sh0uld be prac-
ticed and great benefit derived. The first
claim seems to be that we have more
leisure .to ourselves, and our team is in
better condition, while the weather." is
generally more agreeable. This is good
argument, and with it I must not-disa-
gree. Probably award land is better for
oats, for being thus prepared after fall
plowing, “dry land will not suffer so much
from drouth.” We suppose we will have
to admit this, but it is hard to understand
that ground frequently stirred will take
or draw moisture from the atmosphere or
other sources; but good authority and
more careful observation than I have given
it tells us it is a fact. Wet land, it is
thought, will be ready to work in the
spring. The top dreSsing and working
into the lower soil helps to dry the whole.
Some have claimed that the seed Will
catch better. This needs more than com-
mon assertion. Clayey and oft mucky
soils left exposed to the frosts of winter
will be in ameasure dissolved. This may be
and probably is a fact, but. such soils when
dry and many times in winter exposed
to the heavy winds when not covered
with snow, will be much of it blOWn
away. Fellow farmers, you have noticed
on the south side of the fence bounding a
fall-plowed lot, and many times several
lots away, a deposit of fine soil that came
from that lot, and in most of it fine organic
matter; in fact, manure or decayed roots.
And organic matter has a greater office in
the soil than just the manurinl value it
has, but from its power to hold moisture,
which the plant needs and helps dissolve,
the less soluble matters in the soil As to
its avoiding cut worms for corn, although
pieces much affected by them that had
been so heated. Yet the idea seems to be
sensible that the grubs burrow deep for
winter quarters, and when thrown up
the frosts kill them. .
Mr. Dudley:-—I think fall plowing is
all wrong.
failure. Perhaps I have based my
opinion to much on this. The first and
even second year after I plowed it I
couldn’t break the turf it was so tough.
I have read much (in this kind or time of
breaking up the soil, but I suspect many
of the writers were those who thought of
the benefits and never knew them from
experience. When the growing grass is
‘about two inches high, plowed under, it
ferments rapidly. I couldn’t sow seed as
soon as turned over. In this I differ with
the secretary. I would except corn from
this rule, and plant this the same day if I
could. I would like to plow in the fall to
aid my spring work. This is in its favor-
John R. Sturges told me of. an experi‘
ment. He plowed one-half of- a piece
That which he broke in the spring had
the best potatoes with one-half the culti-
vation.
A. Jackson -—I am no advocate in favor
of this question. I recollect however that
John Lockwood plowed several acres in
this way and the next season planted to
corn and had a good crop. Good oat seed
took well and has done well since. I do
think, generally, that to dry ground
treated in this manner there is done a
. permanent injury ;,but wet ground does
well. The secretary has mentioned wire
worms. I plowed in July and sowed to
buckwheat. Next year I planted to pota—
full of them.
President :—-I have had some experience
in fall plowing. I wont to Otsego, New
York. It is a :layey soil. They plow in
the fall and in the, spring barrow and sow
to oats; they raise large crops. By this
system they can work earlier in the
spring. This is, in my mind, no doubt a
benefit to them. Three or four years ago
I plowed every month in the year, and, in
fact, eighteen consecutive months. The
greatest mistake I th-r made in plowing
was in that year. I plowed the ground in
the fall and winter. It Was wet, but I
thought it would dry before or in the
spring; but it dried hard. I then used the
old-fashioned plow and did it as well as I
could. When I went to prepare in
spring for corn I didn't kl ow what to do
with it. I had thcn bought aSyracuse
plow,‘ and if I had not plowed it at all, I
would like to have had it unplowed, as
then I shquld have known what to do.
