BAD FREIGHT WRECK THIS MORNING
Fireman Richard Henry Receives Serious
Injuries.

Fireman Richard Henry Receives Serious
Injuries.
At half past seven o'clock this morn
ing two New England road freight
trains collided 'head on" south of the
OshOrntown siding, two miles west of
Union City.
Train No 219, drawn by engine 81 .
pulling four loaded freight cars, left
this city for Fishkill in charge of Con-
ductor Meehan and Engineer Gray, at
7:10 o'clock. They had the right of way
and expected to pass the third section of
train 210 from the west at the siding at
Towantic. When turning the curve at
Osborntown, Engineer Gray was horri-
fed to find that train 210 was bearing
down upon them. He reversed his en-
CINE, as did Engineer Baldwin of the
other train, and both engineers and
tiremen jumped. The two monsters
ploughed into each other and piled up
several cars. Fireman Richard Henry,
whose home is in Waterford, Mass, was
struck by some flying debris and
seriously injured about the head and
back.
Word of the accident was telegraphed
to Superintendent Cross at East Hart
ford. who ordered that passengers be
transferred around the wreck. The
place where the accident occurred is
very steep, and several cars rolled down
the embankment. Train 219 was made
up of sixteen loaded coal cars and the
contents were scattered in all directions
The wrecking tram, in charge Of
Superintendent Cross and a force of
men, passed through this city for the
scene of the wreck at II o'clock.
The cause of the accident is due to the
negligence of Conductor Himpey and
Engineer Baldwin of train 21O, who had
been ordered to take the siding at
Towantic. They forgot about train 219
and proceeded on their way.
Fireman Henry was taken to, East
Hartford. The engine of 210 is total
wreck. The loss to the company will
be over $4,000.

Wonderful Realism.

Every atom of scenery used in the
production of "She Couldn't Marry
Three" is specially built for the play.
There are over three tons of it; it is
worth going miles to see. One of the
most notable scenes in the play is a
picture of the Cornish coast, with
practical revolving lighthouse and
moonlight on the ocean; also, the view
of Carboy's Abbey with crumbling
walls and clinging ivy, scene so beau
tiful as to battle description. In the last
act Of the play is shown an exact repre-
sentation of Dingley Tunnel, one of the
most stupendous and natural railroad
scenes ever produced.
Every one of these novel effects are
guaranteed by Manager Hassenforder,
and will be seen here in the production
of "She Couldn't Marry Three"

ADAMS LOSES THE NEW ENGLAND

The Injunction Against the American
Express Company Dissolved.
The Adams Express company with
drew its agents last night from the New
York & New England railroad and
henceforward will send no express
matter over that road or it's branches
The New England road posted notices to
the effect yesterday along the line.
An express car filled with Adams mat
ter on the $3.50 p. m. train out of Boston
Yesterday, was by order of the road
officials unloaded before the train could
proceed. The express employees refused
TO lay hands on the stuff, so the railroad
men were obliged to do the work. The
Adams company has continued to run
on the New England trains and to trans
act business, although the American
company had obtained the contract. 1t
will be remem 5ered that the Hon
Thomas G. Platt, president of the
United States Express company, has Sc
cured an injunction against the New
York & New England to prevent the
road from receiving and handling the
express matter of the American Express
company, alleging that the contract of
the American company was illegal. The
American company continued to do
business, however, starting on the road
December 1.
Instead of at once leaving the New
England road, the Adams company
took advantage of the provision in the
law that thirty days notice may be re-
quired in railroad contracts, and con-
tinued to do business as before. Justice
Pratt of the supreme court in Brooklyn
has recently denied the application for
the injunction to restrain the New Eng
land directors from making contract
with the American Express company.
Now, on the fifth of January, the
Adams company draws off the road and
leaves the American in sole possession.

John Remson's Condition.

BERL1n, Jan 6.-The physicians at
tending John Remson, who was shot in
the left breast by Martin Whaples, are
surprised at the remarkable tenacity
with which he holds to life. When
they were first called to attend him they
pronounced his injuries to be of fatal
nature and said he could not live longer
than few hours. Once it was reported
that he was dead, so low was his con-
dition. At present he is breathing
through a silver tube which has been
inserted IN the opening in his breast and
the physicians say there is a possibility
of his recovery.

You See

There is something wrong with the law
that governs our selectmen, because some
times we have two superintendents of
highways when there should be only one.
Then. again, the selectmen will employ
two book keepers when the law does not
make provision for one, and the man who
sweeps the crossing pays the bill
KELLY says there is a remedy. Ask
the legislature to pass a law that each Sc
lectman should furnish bond that every
dollar he votes to pay out in excess of
what is appropriated at the annual town
meeting, that the bondsman will be held
for the same except what is paid to the
poor. :,
This would be good scheme for the
citv too. Have you seen KELLY'S fat
