to the rear end of work train in charge of

the wreck is in doubt, but one story is to
the effect that the fagman stationed by
Conductor Lands at Avon told the
Engineer of the freight train that if his
train were not at a certain bridge it
would be ''in the clear" at Albany. Up
on this theory Engineer Mullen, when
he reached the bridge designated and

Electric Bitters is medicine suited for

medicine has often averted long and per-
