had anything further to say about the
accident, Engineer Farrell answered:
81 overlooked the order, that's all lean
say. 1t was the first time had run a
passenger train" During his testi-
mony, Farrell said he ran as fireman
for 10 years and four months, and was
promoted to engineer year ago the
9th of this month.
Coroner Doten finished his inquest
Monday morning. He visited the
scene of the accident Friday, and ex-
amined the witnesses then obtainable.
Monday morning the railroad men ap-
peared at his Office in the county court
house, and were examined.
Edwin H. Wilder, a telegraph oper-
ator, testified that he was usually sta
toned at Waterbury, but he was sent
to Danbury during the week of the
fair. He received the order signed ct.
H. F., Supt.," (meaningT. 81. Fennell,
superintendent,) and delivered it to
Engineer Farrell and the conductor of
the special train at Danbury. The in
structions were for the second section
of train 62 to meet train l43 at Sandy
Hook instead of Pomperaug Valley.

helpless to provide for his own welfare.
"Any man who deprives himself of
coat and stands shivering in his shirt
sleeves that another may not suffer,
can have my coat and vest, too, if he
will wear it," said the superintendent.
Miss Mamie Quinlan was breathing
her last when taken from the wreck
and her body was placed on the seat in
the station and covered with sheet.
At her head, crazed with grief, sat her
lover, Michael Malta, suffering from
his own injuries. Says Naugatuck
special: "Miss Mamie Quinlan was one
of Naugatuck's most popular young
women. When the whistle blew, Fri
day morning, it was hard for the girls
in the Phoenix shop to commence their
work. Many we're seen with tears
streaming down their faces. Every
cerning their associate of the day be-
fore. Miss Quinlan had been employed
in the Phoenix shop for over seven
years, and during that time has been
popular with all. Miss Quinlan and
Michael Malta were soon to be married
and the latter's grief at the untimely
death of his sweetheart can be better
imagined than described. The story
of his fortitude~ after the accident is
both heroic and pitiful. While suffer-
ling intense pain, from compound
fracture of the right forearm, besides
other injuries, he insisted that the
doctors should do nothing to relieve
| his suffering until his companion
might be made. as comfortable as
possible"
The condition of Michael Malta re-
main, unchanged. The young man has
been removed to the home of his broth
er, John Malta, of No. 19 Goodyear
avenue, Naugatuck, where he now lies
delirious. The terrible ordeal which
he passed through affected his brain
and the death of his most intimate
friend was such shock that it has
affected his mind. He is attended by
DR. E. B. Merrill of Naugatuck, who
stated Friday afternoon that the pa
tient was doing as we'll as could be ex
pected. A more complete examination
revealed many painful bruises about
the body and his close contact with

Barlow was taken to the house of
Thomas Cavanaugh, west of the Sta
tion, and placed on a mattress. His
fracture was dressed as we'll as the
limited accommodations would permit
of. Friday a conveyance was sent
from Woodbury. and carried the in
jured man to his home. He was visit
ed by Will Roberts and several other
Woodbury. men who were on the train.
He has been employed for many years
as driver for James Boyce of Wood

nounced by his physician Friday
night that his fracture had
been carefully attended to
and tine patient shows favorable
symptoms. Barlow will be confined to
his bed for the next two months at
least, although he may be able to get
; about little on crutches before the
; expiration of that time.
The condition of Charles Bait of No.
! 38 North Leonard street, Waterbury,
is critical. The man received terrible
injuries. An ugly looking hole in the
back of his head at first made it ap-
pear that his head was nearly severed
from the body The man bore up we'll
and his remarkable grit was noted
many times during the weary hours of
waiting. He is foreigner and speaks
but little English. Bait was injured
terribly and the muscles and ligaments
along the spinal column are in a very
serious condition. He lost large
quantity of blood and the Shock was
most severe. There is possibility y
that the man may suffer relapse, but
he has the best medical care and
hopes are expressed for his recovery.
Charles Bait is the name by which he
is generally known, though his real
name is Charles Baltruszajtis.

1t seems that when he left the fail
grounds he was told to pass No. 143
the regular train, at Pomporaug Val
ley. But when he reached Danbury
there was an order awaiting him, tel
ling him to pass 143 at Sandy Hook, q
station west Of Pomperaug. This
change of orders apparently confused
the engineer, who although man OF
experience on the freight traffic haC

Brunswick Post-office Robbed.

The post office at Brunswick
was entered by burglars about
2 O'Clock Tuesday morning, but
how they gained entrance is
mystery, as all of the doors were
found to be locked when the
post office was opened a few
hours afterward.
The sum of S16.SO in money
and SS4.2O in 2, and 1O-cent
stamps were taken from the
safe, to which the combination
had either not been been turned
on or it was successfully work.
ed by the thieves. Otto Benecke,
deputy postmaster, is certain,
however, that the combination
was turned on before he left the
office Monday night, and says he
refused to open the safe again
for a party who wanted some
CHI ange.
Besides what was taken from
the safe, desk was broken into
from which S57 in money, 81
caliber Colts revolver and pair
of gold trimmed spectacles, all
belonging to Deputy Postmaster
Otto Benecke, were stolen.
The burglars were evidently
very deliberate and smoked Gig
arettes while committing the
burglary, as two cigarettes stubs
were found on the floor.
Postmaster F. G.. Sasse nor
other government officials have,
as yet, obtained any clue, and
the thieves seemd to have disap-
peared as completely as though
the earth had opened and swal-
lowed them up.

The Fourth at Triplett.

The editor of the COURIER had
the pleasure of attending the
4th of July celebration at Trip
lett which took place in Nelson
C. Fields pasture, formerly own
ed by j. G.. Barlow, last Friday,
and it was an event of which the
people of that lively village and
vicinity, who contributed so lib
orally to it's success, have every
reason to be proud.
The attendance was large, the
order excellent, while the beef and
mutton barbecued by ''Uncle"
Jerry Hayes, col, Of Keytesville
gave ample proof of ''Uncle'
Jerry's being an adept in that line.
The address made in the morn
ing by Senator E. B. Fields Of
Browning was of a high order,
and bore the stamp OF genuine
American 4th Of July patriotism.
The dinner was only excelled
in q uality by its quantity.
It was the good fortune of ''ye
editor to dine with Messrs. John
E. Wood, F. II. Elliott and Moses
Hardy and their families, and for
about thirty minutes choice
viands disappeared from our we'll
helped plate like ice before a
summer sun, and we were made
happy, very happy, for a full
stomach, you know, makes con-
tented heart.
In the afternoon Nelson c..
Field of Glenwood, Iowa, who
has been investing considerably
lately in Charlton county farm
lands, delivered speech in which
he praised the agricultural re-
sources of this county. and told
the farmers he believed that they
were making a mistake in selling
their farming lands SO cheap.
The ball game. played between
Triplett and Mendon. was won
by Triplett, the score being Il

The sack race and creased

8 till 10 o'clock p. m. was very
creditable, and wound up the
days pleasures.
The best Of music was furnish
ed by the Silver Cornet band of
Brunswick, which has fine rep
utation, and deserves it, too.
Taken altogether, the celebra-
ton of the 4th of July, 1902, was
veritable red letter day in the
history of Triplett, and the CoUR-
Ter rejoices over the splendid
success Of the occasion.

eral dollars worth to B. j.
Moore, a merchant at Shannon
dale, year ago last February,
has again been operating in this
county, notwithstanding he was
prosecuted for his false preten-
sions to Mr.. Moore, and spent
some weeks in the county Jail.
His victem this time is Chas.
Parker, a Keytesville iveryman,
on whom the old man palmed
himself as an uncle, and claimed
his name to be George Parker
from BRUSSELS, Canada, which
is Chas. Parker's birthplace, and
said he was brother to Charles
father, who left Canada, with his
family, when Charles was but a
lad 10 years of age.
"Uncle George Parker" stop
ped a few days with Chas. Par
ker's brother, Sam, up near
Hamden, and it was there he
familiarized himself with the
history of the Parker family,
hence was prepared to work
Charles Parker quite success
fully.
The old man represented that
all his immediate family had
died of typhoid fever; that he had
no one to care for but himself,
and as he was wealthy he was
going to give Charles and Sam
Parker some of his filthy lucre,
horses, cattle, etc., and even Of
fered to pay Charles out of debt.
The game worked well, and
when "Uncle George Parker"
left Keytesville the morning of
the 4th Of July, after having
enjoyed the hospitalities Of his
''beloved nephew for nearly a
week, he had obtained about So
from Charles, 50 from Mrs.
Parker, and So from Mrs. Par
ker's son, Edgar Wilks, and said
he would reimburse them with a
lot Of money in addition as soon
as he got returns from draft he
had drawn on a Canadian bank.
"Uncle George" said he was
going to Salisbury, but in reai-
ty he went to Moberly and from
there the Lord only knows where.
Everything looked roseate for
Mr.. Parker and his family up to
the time his "uncle'' started for
Salisbury, and failed to return,
then the clouds of disappoint-
ment began to gather and they
have grown darker and darker
ever since.
It is, indeed, fearful and an
awful thing to lose an ''uncle,.'
under such circumstances, and
we hope Mr.. Parker will never
be called upon to pass through
another such trying ordeal.
A warrant is now in the hands
of Sheriff Veatch, and Chas.
Parker hopes to meet his "Uncle
George" in a few days under
different circumstances.
