Railroad Accident sat PlainviIle.

MT George Knickerbocker the hero ic engineer who was killed July g, on the N Y & N B railroad near Plainville, deserves more than passing notice. He was well known in this vicinity and previous to his connection with the N Y & N B R R, he owned 8 tin shop at Ash ley Falls and was also interested in one in this village. He was brother of Mrs Nelson Ham of this place. He stood at his post on the ill fated train, sacrificed his life and saved the passen- gers. The following is brief account of the accident: The east bound pass enger train, due at Plainville at 5: :O6 M, was 10 minutes late. It contained four coaches in which nearly all the seats were filled. At 5:18 it drew out of the station for New Britain where it was all ready minutes over due. Engineer Knickerbocker had big head of steam and started down the track at rattling speed intent upon making up as much of his lost time as possible. He had just rounded curve and was fairly ups on the straight track, when directly in front of him he discovered 8 heavy gray el train bearing down upon him rapidly. He whistled loudly and shrilly, but it was too late. Within a moment the trains were in collision, the engine of the gravel train was off the track, the passenger cars were piled in confused heap below the rails, and over & hun dred men, women and children were fighting with one another to escape from the wreck. The crash of the collision had barely died away when little jet of steam shot up from the passenger locomotive and then suddenly an explo- sion followed with force that made the earth tremble and carried wholesale de- struction with it. Great pieces of iron were hurled through the air in a thou sand directions and the tender and bag gage car, which had been piled upon the locomotive, were hurled through the air, far over the the telegraph wires 8 distance of 60 feet.
 Engineer Knickerbocker had stood by his post after it was evident that colli- sion was not to be avoided. He had an opportunity to jump from the cab, as his fireman did, and escape, but he chose to remain, doing all that he could to slacken the speed of his train and les-

EDITOR Rodemeyer of the Valley Ledger offers his paper to new sub scribers from now until Jan 1, 1884 for only 50 cents, just the price of circus ticket. John, come up and publish a camp-meeting daily, and get rich in one week, then you will not care whether you get 50 cents or % cents for the next six months subscriptions. Two of those conundrumsz you prupounded last week, are good. No l, you ask ss Measured strictly by the scale of right and wrong, wherein lies the differ ence between Sunday milk, freight, passenger and accommodation train, and Sunday newspaper and passenger train ?" We reply we don't see any great difference measured by the rule you furnish us to use, do you We have our doubts about there being any neces- sity for running even the milk train on Sunday, but the same excuse given for running that train cannot apply to the newspaper train. If you had asked us which train opens the way for Sabbath desecration, and affords Sunday excur- sionists an opportunity for making hol- Hday of Sunday, or had you asked us which train interrupts the church ser vices, we could have said, the newspa- per train. It has been an impossibillity for the milk train to do as much harm as the newspaper train can 1st, because it was run at time of day that would not disturb or conflict with the church services, with one or two exceptions, perhaps 2d, It afforded no opportuni- ty for an excursion for pleasure as there was no return train, and 3d, It did not travel in the right direction to induce 8 large patronage on Sunday. Now it is different as long as the newspaper train is run the milk train will be pat ronized by those who come up the road for day of pleasure, and go home late in the day. Our space will not allow us to answer your other three conun- drums this week, but will reply at an carly date.
