A trunk unloaded from one of the
early morning trains last week was
left so near the track at Northfield that
when freight went through later at
lightning speed the trunk was sucked
under the train. When the freight
was through with it there was not a

new trunk from the railroad folks

men say that there are in Manchester,
4 n. H.. shops eight or ten new locomo-
tives for the road, but that these will
not be fully completed and turned over
/ 10 the Central until the differences ex-
/ listing between that corporation and its
striking machinists in st. Adams are
