over an hour from locomotive whistle Sat-
urday morning. It was the whistle of engine
80, big six wheel mogul Of the Housatonic
road which all alone started off out of the
round house. No one was near 1t. Under q
full head of steam the locomotive plunged
into the turn table pit and was badly
wrecked and the cab Yves smashed in such q
way that it was impossible to stop the whis-
Ting, which kept on until the steam was ex-
hausted and the fire went out. A similar
accidental starting of a locomotive happened
at the old round house of the Hartford rail-
road in this city near Bridge street fifteen
or sixteen years ago. On that occasion the
runaway engine knocked out liberal slice
of the brick wall of the round house and
otherwise behaved in an unseemly manner.

the necessity of an energetic campaign
