BUIDGETOUT, Aug. 7.-Thp most
frightful catastrophe recorded in Con
necticut for nearly hnlf n century oc
curred shortly before 4 o'clock yesterday
on the Stratford extension of the Shel
ton street railway, when a loaded ear
went off the trestle ovor reek's Mill
nond at Oronoauo. nhout six miles north
of Bridgeport, and sunk In the flats 40
feat below. Thua far 3ti people are
known to be dead and soverul more In
jured. Only two person are known to
hare escaped unharmed. It Is believed
that there were 43 passengers on the ear,
but the indicator was removed by a con
ductor of another car and spirited away,
ao that at present it is impossible to state
accurately the number aboard.
The scene of the accident Is midway
between Shelton and Bridgeport. The
car was north bound, running toward
Khcltou. It was In charge of Conductor
John Carroll of Bridgeport, who was
among the killed, and Motorman Hamil
ton of Bridgeport, lie escaped by jump-
The trestle is 440 feet loug, made of
Irou, with stone foundations, and was not
protected by any guard rails. South of
the trestle Is quite au Incline, on which
the car ran down at a very fast rate of
speed. After It ran on to the trestle for
about ten feet the trucks left the rails,
and then the car continued on the ties
for about (5 feet, when it went off the
trestle and dropped into the pond below,
overturning completely and up ending.
When the car struck, the motor, which
weighed four tons, and the heavy trucks
crashed into it, instantly killing many of
the passengers.
His. J. C. Lynch. K. VT. Ivors and J.
M. Johnson of Brii'- 'port, who were pus
sencers on n car n -nort distance behind,
wcie quickly at the scene and rendered
all possible assistance to the injured.
Vord was quickly sent to Bridgeport,
and three ambulances and a police wag
on were hurried to the scene, and the in
jured were taken to the Bridgeport Gen
eral hospital. A number of other convey
ances were also pressed into service to
convey persons to the hospital. Medical
Examiner Coggswell of Stratford impro
vised a morgue in the main room of tli
town hall at Stratford, and in a very
short time 23 bodies were laid out await
ing identification.
The accident was witnessed by Miss
Frances Peck, who resides about 400
feet from the bridge. She was up stairs
at her home as the car was passing, and
she claims that it was running at an unu
sually high rate of speed. Frank Cra
mer, who was bathing near the bridge,
Mates that the passengers were all sing
ing and in the most joyful mood as the
car passed near him.
The road, which Is practically controll
ed by the Bridgeport Traction company,
was opened for traffic last Thursday.
President Andrew Uadcll was in Ierby
when he received news of the catastro
phe, aud he immediately drove to the
scene.
He was completely prostrated when he
saw the extent of the disaster.

Russian Town Burned.
BT. rUTEUSBUKO, Aug. 4. The
western part of the town of Groduo, cap
itul of tho government of the same uuiue,
southwest of Vlluu, has been destroyed
by fire. A temporary military hospital
and numerous public aud private build
ings bava been aweptaway.
Speaking to a woman s conven
tion. the Governor ot coioraao re
marked: "When the Israelites
were broken with dissension, God
cave a woman to iudce them. De
borah ruled . them for forty years
and, the Bible adds, then they had
a rest. I have never oeen clear
whether the rest came as a result
of her rule, or because her reign
was ended."
A man in Missouri, who was too
stingy to buy a paper sent his young
boy to a neighbor's to borrow one.
As the boy was going home ne leu
down and broke his leg. The neigh
bor heard his cries and ran out to
him, but slipped and fell, dislocat
ing his knee and tearing the bosom
out of his ten dollar pantaloons.
His wife ran to his assistance, leav
ing a two year old baby on the floor.
The baby crawled out and fell down
the well, and while the mother was
fishing for the child the house
caught on fire and was totalry des
troyed. Moral: It never pays,
besides it's dangerous to borrow a
naner.
After all. what is known as "high
er education," which means to be a
student of science, to be a mas
ter of several dead languages, fam
iliar with the best literature and
skilled in mathmetics, is not the
hizhest education. The education
which is most exalted, and without
which no man can secure and retain
the love and esteem of his fellowmen
is that which is learned at the knee
of his good mother. It is to be
honest, truthful, courageous, patri
otic, industrious and kind. The
man who possesses these qualities
even though unable to write his
own name, is a thousand times
better than the most erudite man
without them. , .
