sioner is investigating the collision at
Zoar, on the State road, September 1a
The accident caused the death of three
men and serious injury to two, one of
them Conductor Hosley, of the New Haven
& Northampton train, who, in the commits
grossest unfaithfulness' Hosley signed
reply to the train dispatcher's orders for
himself and his engineer. The engine
man of No. 26 New Haven
& Northampton is free from blame.
He had no means of knowing the conduc-
tor had received orders. No blame is i'm
puted to any other employe of the New
Haven & Northampton company, except
the conductor. The Fitchburg Railroad
company and all its employees are, on all
the testimony and by admission of all par
ties interested, wholly free from any blame
in the matter. The managers of the New
Haven & Northampton road, which has
been particularly free from accidents
and which never had one of this nature
upon its own track, were guilty of no neg
! igence in selecting their employees or in
any other way. Mr., Hosley was we'll rec
commended and had proved skillful and
careful on other roads, 1t was the mis-
fortune of the company that in this case,
guilty of the grossest unfaithfulness, lead
ing at last to the saddest results.

tearing away part of the skull of one of
the boys named Dennie Berkeley, killing
