FIVE MEN KILLED.
Section Hands Dodge One Train. to
BE Crushed by Another.

BE Crushed by Another.
The worst accident of its kind that ever
occurred In that section of Connecticut took
place Wednesday afternoon on the tracks
Of the New York, New Haven and Hudson
River railroad near East Norwalk station.
Five men engaged in work upon the road
bed, in efforts to avoid an approaching cx-
press, stepped directly in front of a local
freight running in the same direction as
the express and were instantly killed. The
dead:
James Powers of South Norwalk, Sec
ton foreman, married.
John Griffin of East Norwalk, section
hand, married.
John Shea.
Michael Spleen, section hand.
Italian laborer, name unknown.
The Colonial Express, %westbound for
New York, was coming though on time
and as the train approached, Foreman
Powers ordered his men to step aside.
They obcyed and with Powers stepped to
an adjacent track. A local freight, also
westbound, came rushing down behind the
express a short distance. 1t is supposed
that the men did not notice the approach of
the freight because of the clouds of smoke
and steam in the wake of tile express. The
five men were struck simultaneously as
they stood grouped together.
