Maine railroad at Bakers Bridge sta
ton will remain at nineteen. as most
OF the wreekage has been cleared away
and no more bodies have been found.
or the twenty-five injured, all will re-
cover.
Responsibility for the wreck is to
be fixed by searching investigation by
Prdddent Tuttle OF the Boston Il
Maine, and state officials. President
Tuttle believes that the signals were
misunderstood in some as yet unex-
planned manner. All of the identified
dead were residents OF this vicinity,
and all but five Of the bodies have

Blue Grass Belle.

New York, Nov. 27.-Captain Tom
Sheylin, OF YaIe's victorious football
team, is to be married some time next
summer to Miss Elizabeth Brannin
Sherley, blue grass belle of Louis
Vile, and although their engagement
has been in effect since last winter,
it became known for the first time
today. 1t was the intention of the
families to make the announcement in
January, but Miss Sherley's interest in
the Yale game this year and her long
trip to Boston to see Yale defeat Harv-
ard, gave rise to the rumor that she
and the captain were affianced.
Miss Sherley is a beautiful girl OF
18, who was graduated from the Sacred
Heart convent in Paris last year, and
met Captain Shevlin last winter. She
is the daughter of Mrs, Brannin Sher-
ley OF Louisville. Her father died a
few years ago.
