PERILS OF FREIGHT RBAKEMEN
(NewtoWn Bee.)

(Newtown Bee.)
 There is no class of honest toilers who run such risk of life and limb at so small recompense as brakemen on freight trains. Think of it! In the year ending June 30, 1890, 2451 trainmen were killed in the United States and 22, 390 injured.
 The railroads make their brag of the safety of passenger traffic and the figures bear them out, but they do not dwell on the peril to their employees The Bee is glad to notice that public sentiment is being directed to this subject. Of the 978, 16l freight cars in this republic, l29 BOA, or about one in eight, are fitted with automatic car couplers.
 The hand brake has long since been banished from passenger coaches and the car stove is following it, making the position of the passenger brakemen Q virtual sinecure. But the poor freight brakeman, often in peril and discomfort from dark ness, storm, ice and corporate greed is member of a great army still in need of relief
 Last year, 369 such poor fellows were killed in the United States coupling cars and 7841 mangled and maimed. Steps have been taken to interest Con gress in this matter and procure legis, lation requiring the equipment of freight cars throughout the country with uniform automotic couplers and train brakes.
 This improvement is bound to come, the sooner the better for the security of human life and happiness, but, until il does come. let our sympathy, at least, be with the wage winners in hourly peril from crushing bumper, cruel dead wood or grinding wheels!

Dr Fl, l.. Ross, Dentist,

Would respectfully announce to the people of Canaan and vicinity that his patronage in the line of gold crown and bridge work has increased to such an extent that he has been obliged to add to his already we'll equipped machinery outfit, a complete Oxv-Carbon Dental Forge, and other appliances. enabling him to turn out work in the crown and bridge line, in the best possible manner and at the shortest possible notice. Also bear in mind that this work costs only one half the amount you would pay for the same class of work in the large cities. One hundred and fifty sets of artificial teeth constantly on hand to select from, making it an easy matter to give a perfect fit, even in the most difficult cases.

DEATH OF FRANK LAKE.

MT Frank Lake, aged 22 years, died, of typhoid fever, at the residence of his brother, Conductor James Lake, in this village about 8 o clock last Saturday night. His death was not unexpected, as he was nearly worn out with over work when attacked by the fever, and he was very sick man during all his illness, so sick. in fact, that his physi- clan, Dr Camp, called Dr Welch, of WInsted, in counsel several times.
 Frank Lake was the youngest of the ten children. Seven sons and three daugh- ters, of Mir and Mrs Leonard Lake, of MIllerton, N. Y. His father and moth er are living, aud in fact the family cir Gle had ren. aimed unbroken until Frank $ death. For two years Frank had been in the employ of the c. N. E. x w. railroad, and had for some time been fireman on one of the freight trains running between Canaan and Campbell Hall During the past au- tumn he had done much extra work aud although warned by his friends that no man ought to work so hard or so many hours he apparently thought that be- cause he had 8 good constitution he could endure any and all hardship. When taken ill he reluctantly left his engine, and for several days by the sheer force of will he kept up and spent most of his time around the station, when he ought to have been in bed under the care of physician.
 Frank Lake was 8 man of excellent habits quiet and pleasant manners, frugal and industrious, faithful in the discharge of his duty, and ever ready to lend helping hand to those in need He will be mourned by all who knew him.
 At 10 o'clock Tuesday morning brief funeral services, conducted by the Rev F. w. Barnett, were held at the resi- dence of Conductor James Lake in this village. Six railroad men, comrades of the deceased, were the pail bearers Their names are: William Shields, Fred erick Daniels, Dennis O'Niel, Michael Commins. William Briggs, Eugene Bill. The remains were tenderly plac ed iii hearse, and, followed by several carriages containing relatives of the de- ceased, the funeral party drove to Mil lerton, N Y. where at p. m. funeral service were held in the M. B. church: Rev w. c. Oliver conducted the ser vices, which were largely attended.
 The floral offerings were elegant. Among them were: "Gates Ajar" sur mounted by dove, while the word sFrank" adorned the base. This piece was about feet in height and width. A floral design representing steam guage with the index pointing to the fig ures 40, the usual number of pounds of steam carried on the locom otive ) Another piece was bank of flowers on which rested floral shovel and hook. There was also pillow of cut flowers. All these were furnished by the railroad men. Relatives of the deceased also furnished large floral pillow in the center of which was the word 'Frank." '"

SIX DEAD IN THE WRECK.

Terrible Results of q Collision in 8 Tun-
 mel at Toledo.
 TOLEDO, Nov. 30-Six persons are dead and several others are fatally injured as the result of the terrible collision on the Flint and Pere Marquette railroad at the Union depot in this city. A passenger train col ided with the Lake Shore express in short tSnnel The names of the dead are:

 Mrs. Dr. McCoygn, Madison, Ills.
 Infant McDona.d, eighteen months old, New York.
 Master Mcdonald, eight years old, New York
 Ellen Meyer, Cleveland, o.
 Howell Vaughan, San Fernandina, Cal
 The body of Miss Meyer was taken in charge by friends who arrived from Cleve- land When Mrs. J. L. McDonald, the mother of the two dead children, at last re- gained consciousness, she called for her ba- bies in heartrending tones. One of the sisters broke the news of the death of her children and the shock nearly killed the mother. Mrs. Mcdonald and her children were on their way from Chicago to New Y York. The serious ly injured now at St. Vincents hospital are:
 Joseph Anderson Riverside, Ills. MT. and Mrs. George James, New York; John Camp bell, New York; Rudolph Murphy, Toledo; Mir. and Mrs. Mckenzie and daughters, Pearl and Maud; Bertha Dick nurse girl to Mrs. McDonald's children, New York; John Conly, Millville; Mass; Patrick Taylor, Arthur, Nev.
 The Lake Shore had gone nearly through the tunnel with it's seven heavy vestibuled parlor cars and the day coach, when a freight ahead made it pull up. The brake man ran back to give the signal to the Pere t%n 1,,+ %,oi1 too close. The engineer and fireman of the oncoming train lay down in their cab and crashed through the dimly lighted tunnel into the rear of the Boston and Chicago special. The day coach was split in twain, the engine blowing through until the roof of the car made cover for the engine clear up to the cab.
 The steam escaping in volumes scalded the unfortunates who were imprisoned in the wreckage. The bodies of the dead were horribly disfgured by the hot steam and hn

TRAFFIC ASSOCIATION,
There IL Steady Determination II

There Is Steady Determination That
Will Result In Good.
J. B. Stetson, President of the Traffic
Association. said yesterday that the efforts
of the canvassers who are securing the sig
natures of firms to the membership-rou of
the organization are meeting with encourage
ing success
There is no wild enthusiasm" he said,
"but steady determination that will result
in substantial good. 1t Is slow work, but
we Eaye to 90 slow to form a subs tan tial
organization that win exist permanently.
We are gradually securing the names of all
the leading wealthy and influential firms In
the city, and are very much encouraged"
A member of the committee, in the excess
OF his enthusiasm, said the other day that
probably 1000 names had been obtained.
This was mistake on his part as the num-
Der OF members is not expected to exceed
500. The number OF carloads of east-bound
freight represented is the main thing, and
the association has now membership Which
represents over 10000 carloads of freight.

HARvEY's THIRD DAY.
He Wins His Game Besides Making a
Home Run.

Home Run.
SACRAMENTO Nov 1.-THE career of the
Sacramento Baseball Club this season has
been quite cheerful. and now as a finale the
home cranks are accusing them Of throwing
games to San Francisco. Whether the ac-
cusation is true or not the work of the home
team has been very poor the past two
games. Both Hoffman and Parrot have
pitched their poorest games and have been
poorly supported. Blauvelt pitched again
to-day for the Harris combination and in
the first five innings allowed but ole scratch
hit. In the next inning, however, the home
team lande on his delivery for two triples
and two singles and he was hit hard during
the remainder of the game. PARROT was
hit for eighteen nits, Including three home
runs, two triples and double. He gave
three bases ON balls and struck OUT six
batters. His support was very rocky. Has
samer and McCloskey making six errors be-
tween them. McCloskey's errors were on
hard chances, while Hassamer's were of the
easiest possible kind. The visitors also
played poor fielding game, piliDg up seven
costly errors, which were responsible for
five runs. Rube Levy hit the ball over the
right-feld fence for home run aud also
made triple and single. Peoples played
a fine game, both al bat and in the field, and
made four hits. including home run and a
triple. Blauvelt also made a home run on
long hit to center field, and MeCl0skey
was put cut at the plate while trying for
home run on his long drive There were no
special features and the small crowd was
glad when the game was over. Tie follow
ing is the score:
