KILLED IN THE STOCK CIR
Well known Horseman Was on
His Way to Boston.

Had in His Charge a Stallion Which
Was to Be Shipped to England-An
Accident on the Shore Line Road on
Which the Car Was Travelling Was
the Cause
Madison, Conn, Nov. 1S.-Samuel
Cruttenden, a well konWn horseman OF
New Haven, was killed, and Joseph
Lockstrom of Auburn, r. l., brake
man, was injured by the derailment Of
an express freight train on the Shore
line division of the New York, New Ha-
ven & Hartford railroad early to-day.
Cruttenden was riding in a stock car.
on his way to Boston with a stallion
which was to be shipped to England.
His body will be taken to New Haven.
The breaking of coupling pin in the
middle of the train led to the accident.
When the train passed Guilford, the
operator at that station discovered that
it had broken apart, and notified the
operator at Madison. Through some
misake in signals, the forward section
of the train was stopped at this point so
that the rear end crashed into it and
three cars were derailed, blocking both
east and west bound tracks from two
to three hours and delaying mail trains.
Cruttenden's head was crushed
From the investigation of the medical
examiner, it is uncertain whether the
man was struck by the open door Of
the car when the collision occurred, or
whether he fell under the hoofs of the
stallion. A tramp who was also in the
stock car escaped uninjured and left
the scene hastily after the accident.
Lockstrom who was head brakeman
of the train suffered fracture of the
legs -Ee

BOYCOTT A ALLURE
President OF Trades Assembly
Says Time is Not Ripe.

The Sentiment at Present is Strongly
Opposed to it-Cars Patronized
Literally This Morning and Union
lists As Well AS Others Were in a
Happy Mood
Schenectady, N. Y, Nov 1S.-The
failure Of the boycott imposed by the
Schenectady Trades assembly on the
Schenectady railroad company's lines
Is conceded to-day by labor leaders.
and there is reason to believe that at
the hespecialmeeting OF thetrades assem-
bly, called for this evening, the inhibi-,
tOn will be removed. There is an
overwhelming public sentiment against
the action of the trades assembly in
orderifg the boycott. Henry ". Jack
son, president of the trades assembly,
who is generally credited with the re-
spolasibility for the action of that
body, declares in an interview that
the boycott doubtless will end disass
trously, ssaS the time is not ripe for
such step" He is furthermore
quoted as saying that the boycott was
observed by but forty per cent Of the
trades llnionists. This figure is differ
ent from that Indicated by Secretary
Carr Of the railway company, who de-
clares that the falling off in traffic
throughout the city was but five per
cent.
1t is stated that the Masons' union.
at their meeting last evening, de-
nounced the boycott as not based on
sound union principles, and that other
unions will follow their example. 1t
is said by some of the labor men who
are opposed to the boycott that the
step will only have the Endorsement of
the unions to which the officers of the
trades assembly belong. The printers
the lathers, the machine painters un-
Ions will meet this evening and it is
said they will pass resolutions con-
demning the boycott.
This morning the cars were well
patronized and unionists were inclined
to laugh at the boycott. Nothing was
to be seen of the committees who were
to take the names of the union men
riding on the cars. One of the things
that was expected to help the boycott
was the sympathy of the families of
the members of trades unions How
ever, in many instances, women refus-
ed to stay off the cars when their hus-
bands, belonging to the few unionists
who favored the boycott, asked them
to do so.
The trades assembly, at it's meeting
this evening is expected to call off the
boycott officially
