B0ST0NIAN KILLED

Bridgeport, Conn, July 1T was
hard for Mrs Agnes Cassier, wife of
Louis F. Cassier, to believe the news
that her husband had been killed in
the Salisbury train wreck. He left
her week ago last Friday in the best
of health and spirits to visit England
on business. He had expected to re-
turn in four or five weeks. 1t was
some time before her father could as
sure her that there could not be a
mistake Then she seemed to regain
herself sogginb, 20, it is hard to bear.
We were to have had such a happy
summer together here"
Louis f. Cassier was a Bostoniaa
and was founder and editor of Gas.

THE SADDEST FEATURE.

London, July 2.-The saddest fea-
ture of the wreck is the death of
young Cossitt, gay, josvial chap
whom everybody loved. Newly mar
ried, the couple never forgot that
they were bride and groom and they
were taken into the hearts of all who
met them. AS they left the steamer
they were pelted with rice and show
cred with good wishes, having en-
deared themselves to their fellow pas.
sengers. Cossitt died just few mo-
ments after he had been taken from
the wreck, but his young bride was
favored, also suffering from the shock,
and 1t is now feared her reason may
be dethroned.
Fire caused imminent danger in
some parts of the wreckage, while
escaping gas from the tanks under
meath the cars added to the terrors of
the poor victims. The promptness of
the officials, however, prevented an ad-
dition to the catastrophe from this
source.

Thaw spent a decidedly uncomfort-

conducted by the chaplain and with
plenty of singing by the prison choir,
but Thaw paid very little attention.
He complained. great deal of the

electric fan in his cell. He drank
copiously throughout the day of min
