Old Colony railroad. said: 1--WE have not
made an investigation yet. but from what
we can learn it appears that the section
men who were at work on the tracks had
what we call track jack on the rails.
when the train came flying around the
curve. From all indications, although we
do not know it officially, the lack was not
taken out when the train came up.
Whether or not the danger signal was set
will not be known until the official inves-

socket on the casting to receive the handles

St. Johnsbury, VT, gave her pocketbook
and diamond earrings to q man who said
