 The ball game that was scheduled to be played here last Saturday be- tween the West Willington and South Wilmington teams was cancelled by the former, but 8 game was arranged and in progress between the second teams at the time of the collision of freight trains. which, of course, broke up the game.
 Quite 8 large number of South Will lington people in Willimantic re- mained in the cars of the train that should have arrived here at 4. 36 p. m. for 344 hours. expecting the train to start any minute, whereas little courtesy on the part of the officials would have allowed them to spend their time in greater comfort and to 6 better purpose. n,, | F.. first and second sections of freight No 94, south bound, occurred at this sta tion at ?. 55 Saturday afternoon.

The blame for the trouble seems to rest on the conductor of the first sec- tion, as he neglected to send out 8 flagman.

His ride on the freight will prove costly at the best. He was taken out alive and conscious, was given attention by Dr. F. B. Converse and later by Dr. Hills of Willimantic, where the injured man
