ued their run to- the railroad track,
getting safely over the cattle guard.
y Just west Of st. Joseph is q trestle,

scountered. The searching party found
the team under this trestle, they hav-

BRHKEAAN'S SUDDEN DEATH
Fell Under Engine and His Head
 and Arm Were Severed.

He Was Hurrying to Move Switch
 When the Accident Happened-The
 Train Broke in Awo And The Rear
 Part Forced The First Section Ahead
 Just Enough to Prove Fatal For The
 Brakeman.
 New Milford, Mar. 20.-A peculiar accident to a freight train early this morning caused the death of brake man, Joshua Hogancamp of New Ha- ven, and blocked the tracks of the berkshire division of the New York, New Haven S Hartford railroad at this station for several hours. On ac- count of the storm and hiVh wind, trains on the Berkshire division were late last night and freight 14S8 north bound which usually meets the south bound freight, 14S7 at Brookfield, was ordered to sidetrack here and allow the train from the north to pass. Both trains reached here at l o'clock, the down train waiting while the other took the siding. Brakeman Hogan camp, who was one of the crew of the northbound freight, jumped from lHc lIdln SiS IL SiONSu up dI0 IelA dAlCou to throw q switch. As he crossed the track in front of his engine, the train suddenly lurched forward and the brakeman went under the driving wheels of the locomotive. N His head and one arm were cut off.
 The cause of the accident was later found to be the breaking of a coupler near the middle of the train, allowing the train to divide into two sections. When the forward section stopped for the switch, the rear cars struck it with force sufficient to drive it ahead several feet, at the same time twisting two cars in the middle sidewise across the track. The wreck of these two cars blocked traffic until the arrival of q wrecker from New Haven, which clear ed the track about o'clock after half an hours work.
 Hogencamp was 45 years old. He was married but had no children,

eunsuccessfuI Attempt to Rob the
 Town Clerks Office.
 Branford, March 20.-Burglars tried nnsuccessfully to break into the vault containing probate and land rec- ords in the town hall here last night. They entered the town clerks office by rear window and after opening the outside door of the vault which was unlocked knocked off the knob on the inside door. i. They did not suc- ceed ip opening this door and as they left large number of tools and a. quantity of explosives it is supposed that they were frightened away and left hurriedly. Besides the records and other documents the vault con- tains safe used by the Branford Savings bank as a place of temper ary deposit. There was no money. however, in the safe last night so the work of the cracksmen would have been fruitless had they broken into the vault. New Haven officers have been notified to be on the lookout for the burglars, but there is no clue.
