a Conductors singular Mistake.
From the New Haven Palladium.l

From the New Haven Palladium.
Conductor Herkins' train from New
York Saturday evening was delayed half
an hour by a singular accident. Our
readers may remember our account,
year ago, of the Harlem conductor
whose hat blew out of the baggage car
door, and who reached for it so eagerly
that he followed it, and was so injured
by the fall as to be laid up for several
months. This same conductor Budlong
was collecting fares Saturday in the tun
mel on the train which leaves the depot
on the Harlem Road at 2:20 p. m. Pass
ing through the last car, he walked on,
thinking he had another car to visit, and
walked right off the end of his train, fall
ing off the track. 1t is very dark in the
tunnel. and the rolling smoke made it
impossible to see that there was not an
other car. The engineer soon discov-
cred that Budlong was missing. He
telegraphed back to the depot, and Con-
ductor Herkins' train was held back, so
that it might not run over Budlong' s
body. An engine was at once sent up
: 5eough the tunnel to look for it, and It
was found on the track. Budlong was
UNCONSCIOUS and badly hurt, but it is
said that no bones had been broken.

to walk about town and care for his own
wants, and had retained his mental
