 According to a statement from Con-
 ductor Dillon there were in all 30 pas
 sengers on the ear.
 1.-the Oakville Pin company had been running full time the chances are that almost seventy or more would have been on the car.
 One of the trainmen while looking around about half an hour after the accident saw a limb which looked very much like leg wedged between couple of boards.
 More than an hour after the acci- dent happened some one informed Jeremiah Corcorkry that his daugh- ter had been killed, she being one of the first identified. It was the first that he had heard of the accident.
 General Manager Punderford and Superintendent Wales called upon Prosecutor Meigs for the purpose of ascertaining the amount of bail. In the case of the gateman $1 1000 was the amount and in the cases against the motorman and conductor $5, 1000.
 Motorman Larned, although some- what injured, when he was hurled from the wreckage, ran all the way to the car barn, before he realized what he was doing. He couldn't tell what had happened so sudden had been the shock of the collision.
 Hundreds of people gathered around the Democrat bulletins all day and among them were many who were employees of the Oakville Pin com pany. "We might have been in that car," was the general remark. The financial stringency perhaps averted bigger casualty list.
 A Democrat reporter interviewed P. s. Green, fireman on the engine which crashed into the trolley car. He says they were going at the rate six to eight miles an hour and just before they hit the car he saw the trolley car stop in the middle of the track as if 1t was stalled. They struck the car almost in the middle.
 Although the front of the engine was damaged, it was not banged up to any great extent. It did not take the trainmen long to clear the tracks once they got started and by g o'clock the rails were clear. The SIS due in this city from Hartford was held up, but the passengers for the most part finished their journey on foot.
 The news of the accident spread sr~ vending its way to the scene Ut the accident. Many were inquiring about their relatives and friends. bat in the early part of the morning it was almost impossible to learn the dead, although Medical Examiner Crane early had a partial list of the in- jured.
 What a fortunate thing it was that the OakvilIe Pin company was running with a shortage of help. said one of the passengers in the i'll fated car this morning. Great God, he exclaimed, 'I have been on one of those cars when it was crowded to the doors, with seventy to one hundred people aboard and if that was the case this morning. the scene would have been frightful. bad as it is now"
 Don't mention my name please in your article for my mother would be if she knew I was in an scci- dent of this kind" Such was the ex-I clamation of one of the women who escaped injury '-I saw several go down ia the midst of the Ereckzgs. and heard one young man praying as he felt himself being carried under Oh. it vas awful and thank Cod Ii am alive"
