No Recollection of Her Husband
And 1 didn't know my name, either.
My little boy said his name was Arthur
Morrissey He also gave. the name of

identity was found in a valise she had.
A piece of an Interurban railway trans,
fer and trunk check were found. The
transfer was issued by the Lynn Local. =
and is for passage from North Salem,
Mass, to either Marblehead or Lynn. The
trunk check was over the Lake Shore
& Michigan Southern railway from Buff
falo, N. Y, to Cleveland, o. #. II. Ream

a telegram to Cleveland to find the
trunk. Owing to the strike of the teleg-
raphers the message was refused.

mateer 912 Chestnut street, Terre Haute,
Ind. The woman remembers nothing

man of the lighthouse board since the
retirement of Rear Admiral Benjamin
y. LamDerton in February, 1906, he will

nearly &c years.

A Fine Sermon, Clear, Concise
and Full Of Power.
The Seniors Addressed at vespers
by Justice A. N. Spear.

Lewiston, Me, June 23.-The Bac-
caiaureate sermon at Bates College
was delivered today by President
Chase. His text was: Look not every

IF individuals and the race are to
progress, it must be in response to
those same personal incentives that
have lifted men above bruteS and pro-
Guccd those splendid differentiationS of
taste talent and the genius that are
the glory and hope of mankind.
Human veal absolutely requires
that the kind and amount of the SER
vice that each of us shall undertake
and the portion of our gains and re-
wards that we shall devote to the well
fare of others be left largely to our
own judgment and conscience.
And could any attempt to have it
otherW Use be permanently successful
the star of human destiny would
speedily set in darkness. Happily the
primitive instinct to sclf-preservation
and recognition will not permit such Il
result.
GAS q consequence, no ono of US can
escape. through the virtue of any So
cial or industrial mechanism, the re
sponsibiIity of deciding how and what
we will contribute to the common
good.

sibility, fraught. perhaps, with awful

PINNED DOWN BY THE DEBRIS,
Terrible Sights Greet ResCuers in Their
Work OF MerCy==Two OF Injured Will
Die==PlaCing the Blame.

Hartford, Conn, June 23-Six
workmen We're killed ana 40 injured
when the passenger train on the High
land division of the New York, New
Haven & Hartford Railroad crashed
into the rear end of Il work train that
was backing into the city from New
Britain tonight at Sigouney street
crossing. OF the injured two are not
expected to recover.
The wreck is one of the worst that
has occurred here in years. Dead and
dying were strcwn along the sides of
the track while unfortunate victims
horribly mutilated were beneath the
wrcckage, some pinned amid Il mass of
tangled iron and wood. Their groans
and appeals for aid moved the rescuers
to desperation, and brave men worked
until FRUSTRATED in attempt to rescue
the sufferers.
Some of the victims within easy
reach We're dead and after this fact
was asccrtained they We're left while
the rescuers worked to get the living
out of their desperate position.
In one instance ii took an hour and
a half to rescue one workman who
was pinned beneath the trucks. His
head was hanging down backwards
he suffered untold agOnies. but the
rescucrs kept encouraging him while
doctors reached between the frame
work which held him a prisoner, and
treated the wounds on his face and
head.
There are three unofficial versions OF
the manner in which the wreck occur
fGr y ~ Britain went out on track NO
; instead of track No. /. The second is
that the work train mad the right Of
way until ! O'Clock and should have
lad a clear track, that the passenger
train was ahead III time at that pnint.
Tho third is tha, the work train open
Cd Il switch ara failed to close it, thus
making the collision possible, but this
version is generally diSCrcdited.
Ii is undo rStond that all the trains on
tn" division today operated on track
No. thus leaving tho other track to
the work train, whose crew have been
ctnplryoI III repairing tho rails. Al the
office it was stated that the formal re-
port had not vet been made. The ell
ginccr Of the work train claimed that
ne had the RICH: of way and his stat
monts arr born out by others on the
same tram.
