LOST IN

on tho Central Vermont Rail.
road at Milton.

Burlington. VT. May THE crashing
together OF two heavily laden freight
trains on the Central Vermont railroad at
Milton. Is miles north OF Burlington this
morning resulted in tho death OF one man
the injuring OF three others and heavy
damage TO rolling stock and freight.
The dead Fireman A L. Ranney, Of
St Albans>
Injured: Fireman Henry willets. injur-
les severe. engineer Jack Ryan, also
badly hurt. Brakeman Robert Barr,
bruises and cuts, caused by jumping.
The trains in collision were the fast
regular freight running from Montreal 10
Boston and known as the Beef train
and a northbound extra freight. The
latter had taken the siding In the yard
at Milton. but was pulling out In the ex-
pectation that the fast train would be
crossed further UP the line II Is be-
lieved that there was some confusion IN
the delivery OF orders TO the men on the
southbound train and that 1t should have
stopped before reaching the Milton yard.
Instead. however. 1t continued south at
high rate OF speed. reaching Milton
at ESQ o'clock. Part OF the northbound
extra had hauled on 10 tho main line,
just as the Montreal train appeared.
With a terrific crash the locomotives met,
the shock filling the air with mass or
steel, followed by nine lOaued cars, Nnlcn
piled on top OF the locomotives. The
Montreal engine was reduced to scrap
iron. its fireman. A. l.. Ranney. being
buried i'm the wreckage.
The other locomotive was not so badly
damaged. Some OF the trainmen had
tried TO jump, but several OF them, be-
sides the unfortunate fireman. were
caught 1t is thought. however, that all
OF the injured will recover.
The mass OF wrecked cars and freight
caught fire from the locomotives, and
some eight or nine cars were consumed.
The contents were also destroyed. Sew
eral other cars were damaged. and the
Traffic was delayed several hours, but
the trains were able TO pass the wreck by
noon. An investigation is being held 10
determine just who was responsible for
the accident.

JURY DISAGREED.
Could Not Reach Verdict In Case Of Carr
against American Locomotive Works.

The case In which Peter F. Carr by his
next friend was suing the American Loco
motive company for damages OF sao, for
burns received as he alleged through neg
ligence OF the defendant company was
concluded yesterday and went to the Jury.
After being out nearly seven hours they
had arrived at 70 decision and returned
a disagreement
The case has been on trial over two
weeks and many interesting features
were developed The case hinged on
whether or not n certain valve in use at
the American Locomotive companys
plant was a proper and safe fitting to
use. Much expert testimony from men
we'll known in manufacturing circles was
taken and much evidence regarding
valves in use in various plants abouts the
city was put I'm by the defense In sup
port of their contention that the valve
used by Young Carr was every whit as
safe as those In use by other manufacture
ers.
John w Hogan was tho attorney for
the plaintiff and William A. Morgan rep
resented the defendant corporation.
