CRASH AT HtAWLEYVILLE.

Returning savin Rock Excursionists
 Had Exciting Time.
 New Milford, Aug. 19.-A head-on col- lision occurred at o'clock at Hawley- vile last night between freight tram No. 1,4S7, bound from Danbury to Bridgeport, and a special excursion train having on board 800 people bound from New Haven to Pittsfield, Mass.
 The excursionists had been spending the day at Savin Rock and the special was making the return trip under spec ial orders.
 The freight, it is stated, had orders to take the siding at Hawleyville in or- der to allow the excursion special to pass. The freight took the siding, but in some manner unexplained the switch was left open and the result was that the special also took the siding and crashed head-on into the freight
 The force of the collision damaged the freight engine and threw Fireman Louis Suence out of the cab across the tracks, striking his head against the tracks, and he is badly injured.
 Six persons were mere or less cut by flying glass and all the passengers were shaken up. One of the passenger coaches was so badly damaged 1t had to be sidetracked at Hawleyville.
