Engineer James Flanigan, of New London, who had been boarding in Hartford, was fatally injured. The boiler, it is said, was thrown from the frame and hurled If. teen feet beyond the fence into the field. The track was torn up for seve. ral rods and there was some delay in traffic. although the wrecking train was sent out promptly. Sup't Blaine gave directions to have the wounded man taken care of and the bodies of the dead sent to their friends, after they had been seen by the coroner. The en. gineer was taken to vassar Hospital al Poughkeepsie, where he died Tuesday night.

When woke up the morning after we were married, I reached over, kissed her and said: Wife, I see two chairs out there in the middle of the floor, and two piles of clothing on them. When you get up want you to choose which you intend to wear, and leave the others for mep We'll sir, she got up and put on the dress and I put on the brooches. and from that day to this we've never swapped."
