BURNED BY STEAM
TraiUmen Suffered When Plug
 Blew Out of Boiler.

A rather peculiar accident oc- cured near Southford, on the High land division, about o'clock this morning, Engineer William A. Wood- cock of 137 Central avenue and Flagman William O'Brien of Brook lyn district being badly burned. The accident was caused by the blowing out of plug from the boiler. The engineer and fiagman were in the cab when the plug blew out, and Engineer Woodcock was knocked right off the engine. O'Brien stayed on for time, but also at length fell off. The engine continued to go along until 1t was brought to halt by the fireman. >
 A telephone message was sent to Dr George w. Russell and Lunny's ambulance. They took the injured men from the Meriden junction and carried them to the Waterbury hos pital. Woodcock was badly burned about the feet and lower part of the body. His back was also injured from the fall off the engine. O'Brien was severely burned about the legs, body, face and hands. In fact he was burned more or less from head to foot. The men were doing very we'll at the hospital to-day and their condition is not at all serious.

COSGRIFF BEGINS WORK.
Takes His Place at Head of Freight
 Department.

James Cosgriff, freight agent at Torrington, who has been promoted to the head of the freight depart ment in this city, started on his new duties to-day. Although he has been in town the past few days receiving information concerning the local sit uation from F. L. White, the local agent, he did not take charge until to-day. MT Cosgriff has had years of experience in the freight busi- ness, but he will need it all ill this city, for at present the freight sity- ation i'll Waterbury is about as seri- ous as any other city in the state. MT Cosgriff will be succeeded at Tor rington by Charles Bavier of Thom- aston.
 F. L. White, who has been freight agent in this city since the promo tion of M. J. Leary about year ago, has entered the employ of the Seth Thomas factory in Thomaston MT White while in Waterbury made friends fast and considering condi- tions under which he worked, gave good satisfaction.

THE MILK QUESTION
One wilkman Put $7O,Q0O i1
 Property and Has More Left.

The milk question is still in an un- settled condition. Some are selling it at the old figure, while others are getting nine cents. The advocates of the higher price claim that there is very little in it even at nine cents and the others claim that they can get along nicely on six cents. What does all this mean, anyhow? Viewed from the road, 1t would seem that the six cent dealers are telling the whole truth. During the present year Mid dlebury man who never sold anything in his life but milk bought $70,COU worth of real estate in Waterbury and it is said that this does not rep resent fifth of what he is worth Now if man can accumulate for tune in less than half a lifetime handl- ing milk at low figure, what in thunder do those fellows mean by proclaiming that there is little or nothing in it at very high price
 One dealer explains the situation by stating that Waterbury has too many milk dealers and that many are in it who are not equipped to conduct the business at profit unless they keep pushing up the prices. You can see this," he added. lin all parts of the town. Think of three different milkmen tramping up and down the same stairway when one would suffice. Somebody has to pay for the time of these two extra men and wagons, and of course it must come out of the pockets of the consumers. The question now is. must the man who can afford to sell at a profit for six or seven cents raise his price in order to make things look right for the dealer who cannot live at that price. You'll find it will come to that in the end and the very people who will bring it about will be those who will suffer most. And then these same people will talk about trusts and combines. Why these combinations couldn't exist if people didn't pat ronize them.'
