WRECK ON CENTRAL VERMONT
4 Number Injured--Train Narrowly
 Escapes Plungine Into River.

Norwich, Aug. IA train on the Gen. tra1 Vermont railroad, consisting of a combination baggage and smoker and two coaches, was wrecked in Norwich Town, two miles above this city last this afternoon and several were injured although no fotalities will result. The accident happened at the crossing op- pcsite the Glen woolen mills and had it not been for telegraph pole port or all of the train woud have roled down the embankment of fifteen feet into the Yantic river, which runs parallel with the Central Vermont track. Just how the accident happened is not known, but Engineer George l.. Alger is of the opinion that something broke on the engine causing it to jump the track. Those injured are:
 Engineer G. L. Alger, 40 Winthrop |street, New London, bad cuts about the head and body; Fireman Arthur Paquette, New London. also badly cut and bruised; D. D. Griffin, Rutland, Vt, left leg broken and head badly cut; A. ID. Lathrop, Norwich, ribs broken; ". M. Frost, ST Water street. Springfield Mass, serious scalp wounds; F. F.

been received. It is thus impossible to |confirm or deny the Tokio report, but F 1t is true, as pointed out in the fore going. it leaves the Russian forces in an exceedingly serious position.
 Lacking definite information and II the Russian formation has not been broken by the capture of Simioucheng the authorities here say that if Kuro- patkin accepts general engagement they believe it will occur near Anschalt- lschen, half way between Haicheng and Liao Yang, in which case the Haicheng force will fall back thither and the Si- moueheng force under General Nit schenko on the northward road to Yanzalin, which is already fortified ! with a view to such contingency. IVaneed position for Anschantschan, the natural strength of which is shown | by the fact that it was the only posi- tion the Chinese successfully defended against the Japanese. It is possible ithat if Simoucheng is evacuated it may be in pursuance of the above plan, and it is also possible in this case that Gen. eral Stakelberg may get away north, but in any case his retreat with Oku hanging to his rear must be difficult Operations, even with the railroad to
 help him.
 I General Kuropatkin's report of to-day only carried the fighting up to Sunday night, when the Russians had been driV- en in from the left flank of the Simou- lcheng position. The Russians had rcs lpelled several attacks and one bayonet icharge in which there was desperate lhand to hand fighting at Kangwa heights. Elsewhere the Russians are reported to be holding their own. General Kuropatlxin's reports gave no
 lgures of the two days fighting. The lmain portion of the attack seems to lhave been by the artillery, the favorite
 arm of the Japanese.
 There was the greatest hope of fur lther news from Russian sources regard ling the progress of to-day's battle. ICroWds hung around the bulletin boards luntil ? o'clock a. m. and finally dis Ipersed, disappointed.
 The only real news of the days re- Isults contained in the brief dispatch to Ithe Associated Press from Haicheng, lflled there at 5:45 o'clock in the after lnoon. saying that an artillery duel had lraged all day along the entire front, Ibut that the Russians at night fall con- Itinued to hold their positions.
 No news was received from Port Ar lthur to-day.
 It was learned that Captain Won Es- lsne commanded the Vladivostok squad Iron during it's recent raid.

TROLLEY CARS CRASH
 FOURTEEN ARE INJURED
(Continued from First Page.) !

Continued from First Page.)
 til a car in charge of motorman John Doe and Conductor Metcalf, running to Worcester, had passed. Usually the men are furnished with written orders. It is understood, however, that to-day the orders were telephoned to Balcom and Dunn and were misunderstood.
 The car running for Worcester was running down grade and, turning the curve, struck the car heading in the op- posita direction. The west bound elec- tric was running at the rate of twenty five miles an hour, 1t is said, but the other car was able to reduce speed somewhat, and was not running swift ly. Both cars were badly damaged by the impact but were not thrown from the road bed.
 The west bound car carried thirty-one messengers and the other thirty five, all of whom were thrown forward violently and some crushed by the bent wood- work. The passengers on the front seats of both cars received the worst injuries, and in addition to broken bones sustained severe cuts from flying glass. .@
 A number of workmen who were en- gagged near the place where the cars came together, in constructing sec- ond track which is nearing completion, promptly assisted in e&tricating the seriously injured from the wreckage, and messengers were dispatched to the nearest telephone, over a mile distant, for the purpose of summoning physi- clans from Marlboro, Birmingham and Hudson.
 Superintendent D. P. Shaw, jr., and his assistant, E. H. Richards, were no- tified, and hurried to the scene. The most seriously injured, after being giv- eia medical attention, were placed on two cars and sent to the hospital at Birmingham. Those who were not hurt were transferred to their destinations soon after the accident. The wreckage was cleared away in about three hours
 Mrs. Stewart, whose injuries were in ternal, died at the hospital at 4:30 e. clock. Her home is at Winthrop Beach

ST PETERSBURG ANXIOUS
Report that Decisive Battle of cam-
 paign is Now Raging

palSn IS NUW hHSNMB sg=&
 St. Petersburg. Aug 2--2:S5 a. m.- The greatest anxiety prevails here for news of the general advance against the southern and eastern positions of General Kuropatkin's army. The pub- lie believes that the decisive battle of the campaign is being fought, but this has not yet been established Indeed, the Associated Press hears from the keenest military attaches in St. Peters, burg that for several days the main body of the Russian army has been moving north towards Mukden and that when the present line to the southeast is forced the Japanese will find that they have crushed only the shell. Should this prove to be so General Ku- ropatkin will doubtless be obliged to destroy the immense quantity of stores accumulated at Liao Yang.
 Shrewd military critics, however, do not believe that General Kuropatkin can escape a general engagement. His army forms a wedge, with General oku hammering away at the point and Gen. erals Nodzu and Kuroki operating with driving movements of great force against the sides. If one of the latter shoul dbreak through the southern force would be doomed. ss~
 The general staff seems amazed at the immense strength of these cooper ating armies The Japanese evidently have succeeded in concealing the real number of their men and guns which, the general staff now believes, must be in excess of S00,000 men, with between 300 and 400 guns. 4
 While General Oku is holding the Russian army at Haicheng in check General Nodzu is evidently trying to work around the vital position at Simoucheng. At the same time Gen- eral Kuroki is trying to flank the first Siberian army corps, which was com manded by the late Lieutenant-Ge General Count Keller, at Yanzalin, on the main Feng Wang Cheng road, and is also pushing strong column through direct toward Liao Yang, on the Saimatsze road. There is a road leading north from Simoucheng which strikes the Feng Wang Cheng-Liao Yang road west of Yanzalin. If Simoucheng should be forced 8 rapid advance along this road would pocket the first Siberian army corps.
 The report received from Tokio late tonight that Simoucheng had actually been forced did not become generally known. The general staff remained in session until almost 2 a. m, and on ad- journment it was stated that nothing beyond the days official dispatches had

with this one heater. and the heater
can be instantly changed from n hot
water boiler To a steam boiler. With
the water in the boiler and the entire
hot water heating plant cold. it is
possible to heat radiators in less than
one-half the time that hot water radia.
tors can be heated by any other known
process.
With he water in the boiler and all
the steam radiators cold, It is possible
to heat steam radiators and show ten
pounds pressure on the steam gauge in
less than one'half the time that it can
be done by any other process.
After the steam gauge begins to
show pressure the steam pressure
rises at the rate Of a pound a minute.
This is "A remarkable performance.
After the steam has reached the de.
