Open switch Said to be Responsible for
the Accident.
WooNsooKET, r. l., Dec. 5.-Tele-
phonic reports give meager details of a
terrible accident on the New York e.
New England railway at East Thomp-
son, Conn. The steamboat train, bound
east, and two hours late, ran into a
freight train at a crossing, and five per-
sons were killed outright. Another was
burned to death in the smoker, which
took fire, and several others were
seriously hurt, including at least one
fatally. The pass senger engineer is
among the killed. All traffic is blocked.
A wrecking train from Norwood with 100
men has gone to the scene of the acci-
dent, as has also a special train with
physicians from Boston. The Long
Island express was passing on the
other track at the time and all three
trains were piled up. The engineer of
the Boston train and his fireman were
reported killed. The wreck almost inn
mediately took fire and doctors have
been summoned from nearby points.
The accident is said to have been due
to an open switch.

the expectation of month ago. There
is complaint that the crop did not ma
ture well. The yield is placed at 51.3,
or a little over a half crop. This does
not mean, however, that the total yield
will be half as much as last year, since
the acreage is siderably less than tp
1890.

show greater acreage in wheat than
last year, and by far the greater numnef
show decrease OF the counties which
