 John Carroll, 8 veteran of the 2nd Conn. Heavy Artillery, while walking on the H. & c. w. railroad track few rods east of Union depot last Thursday noon was struck by the engine of the west bound passenger train and hurled from the track. He was walking with his back to the train and being very deaf did not observe its approach al- though the engineer blew the whistle several times to warn him, and then ap- piled the air brakes and reversed the engine. The train was consequently running very slow when it struck him otherwise he would have been instantly killed. The train was halted John was picked up and carried on stretcher to the Warner House. Drs Camp and Lopez were immediately summoned. Johns injuries did not prove as serious as was feared. He sustained 8 cut on the back of his head and some bruises from which he is recovering. Supt McNeil was on the train, and to his and Conductor Pollards credit be it said they held the train in Canaan until the doct- ors arrived, for they would not leave John until they knew the extent of his injuries and felt assured that he would receive the best of care.
 Conductor Elmer of Hartford, who has run passenger train on the H. & o. w. railroad since the road was built, recently resigned his position. Con- ductor Pollard was then placed in charge of the train. It is reported that he ten dersd his resignation in consequence of g very grave mistake he unaccountably made June 15. On that date his train was about two hours late, owing to the engine breaking down, but it seems that MT Elmer thought his train held the right of way over train No 15, and he directed Engineer Savage to proceed. MT Savage did not so interpret the time table, therefore he refused to obey MT Elmer's orders, and he took the respon- sibility of side-tracking the train, at Can ton, and thus avoiding what doubtless would have proved frightful collision, for three minutes afterwards train No 15 dashed past at high rate of speed. MI Elmer has been faithful conductor, in whom the company and travelling pub.
 lie have placed the utmost confidence, and he has many friends who exceed ingly regret that on this occasion he seemed to close his head" and make such a blunder. When Elmer's trai1 is on time it reaches Hartford one houl before train No. 15 leaves there. The baggage master on Elmer's train serves as conductor on train No. 15. The car on Elmer's train are generally used il making up train No. 15, but neither tn. engine, engineer, fireman or train crew except the baggage man as before stated of Elmer's train serve on train No. 15 yet Elmer evidently, though wrongly thought that his train was virtual. train No. 15 and that no train would b.
 sent out from Hartford until his arrival
