CONDUCTOR UNDER ARREST
Alleged He Failed to Leave Can

Said to Have Signalled

WATERBURY, Conn, Nov. 29.s--Five
$3.50 this morning, at the West Main
street crossing over the Highland divi-
sion tracks of the New York, New Ha-
ven and Hartford Railroad, when an
extra Hartford bound freight train
crashed into a trolley car containing
twenty-five persons. bound for the pin
factories In Oakville. The car was
struck with great force directly in the
middle, and all the passengers killed
were badly mangled. Six others were
badly injured, and had to be carried to
their homes. The dead:
Sarah Ryan. Annie Corcorry. Robert
French, Jane Kelly and Walter Hayes.
The seriously injured: Kitty Hanley
leg broken and scalp cut; Margaret
Mellon. Jennie Benson, Sadie Allen,
Andrew Lepier. Aside from the
Hanley woman the others received
scalp wounds, broken bones and bad
cuts, but 1t Is not yet known whether
the injuries of any will prove fatal.
FIagman John F'lavin and Conductor
John Dillon, of the trolley car. were
arrested. The motorman of the car,
Charles Leonard, was not held.
It is stated that the wrecked trolley
car was following closely behind an
other car. which had passed safely over
the crossing. il Is ustomary 10 dror

the approach of a train. but in this
instance the gates were UP. The flag
man, it is alleged, waved his flag show
ing a clear track. According to the
rules of the Connecticut Company,
which operates the trolley cars here,
conductor OF car must run ahead
of his car as far as the tracks and as
certain whether or not a train Is ap-
preaching. This, 1t is stated, was not
done i'm this case.
There was absolutely no chance for
the engineer of the train to stop his
train in time to prevent the accident.
Although he applied the brakes, the en-
gine crashed into the trolley car. smash

occupants in all directions. Many of
those injured were carried to nearby
stores, while some who were unable
to walk were laid alongside of the
tracks till carriages and ambulances
took them to their homes. The bodies
of the known dead were cared for by
relatives.

GRAND JURY IS
AGAIN ON
POLICE
Indicted Resort Keepers Said
to Have Been Summoned
as Witnesses.

What may develop into another chap
ter in Sheriff Frank II. Sonmer's vice
crusade, 1t was said, was disclosed this
afternoon when the requesting of the
presence of Louis Book, Samuel Cold
man, alias Baker: Louis Weintraub.
Herman Wagner and the latters wife,
'Freda, and others, were subpoenaed
before the Grand Jury. 1t is said that
the worst for several is yet to come.
The appearance of those resort keep
ers who fell into the sheriff's dragnet
led to the statement that moro indict-
ments are likely.
It was gossip that the former New
ark resort keepers who were driven
out of business by the sheriff's men
paid hush money to some policemen for
protection, and 1t is believed 1t was
on this line that the persons called be-
fore the Grand Inquest were ques-
toned.
Book and his wife are under heavy
bail and awaiting trial for conducting
the Century Music Hall, in Market
street. Goldman was recently fined
81, 900 for conducting disorderly house
at 16 New York avenue, and is still
under $500 ball as a witness for the
State. He was originally sentenced to
State prison, but by becoming mate
rial witness the change was made.
Weinraub was out of business when the
sheriff began bis crusade, but he was
forced to make lengthy confession to
the sheriff, and he also brought suit
against former Police Captain Jacob
Serbia, jr at one time in charge of the
First Precinct, for the recovery OF money
he alleged he had paid for protection while
at 1870 New Jersey Railroad avenue.
Mr.. and Mrs. Wagner, who we're recently
placed under arrest after a startling coil
fession Of white slavery told to Acting
Captain Caffrey, OF the First Precinct, by
one Matilda Busch, are alsa under heavy
bail. awaiting the action of the Grand
Jury.
1t is alleged they conducted resorts OF
shady color In this olty for more than
twenty years. When placed under arrest
they were conducting a place IN Freling-
huysen avenue within a short distance Of

ties

BOOM DlMOND
FOR COUNTY
CHAIRMAN
Democratic Committee will
Delay Selecting Head
Until January.

From present indications, 1t is very
likely that the Essex County Demo-
cratic Committee viii have no Decem-
Der meeting, the leaders, 1t is said,
deferring the gathering until the first
week in January, when a county chair
man will be chosen.
At that time all the county commit
teemen who were chosen by the voters
at the last primaries will be called upon
to vote for man who will serve as
chairman over the county body for the
next two years.
Consideration of the possibilities for
this office has not been very noticeable
in the Democratic ranks thus far. The
manning of the Common Council is at
the present time taking up all the at
tention.
What little talk there is, however.
has DIR. William Dimond, former jail
warden, in the lead for the place. 1t
Will be remembered that the special
committee appointed by the major body
to select successor to Police Judge
David T. Howell, when he resigned as
county chairman, selected DR.. Dimond
as the man for the place.
1t was decided, however, not to have
the county body make the appointment
at the time, nearly everyone preferring
the plan to allow senior Vice Chairman
Tyler Parmley assume the reins of
authority until the first of next year.
The selection of DR.. Dimond by the
committee, it is said, met with rather
general appreciation at the time and
since then no great opposition has been
heard.
1t is safe TO assume. however. that
within the next few weeks several
names will come TO the front for the
place of honor with Democrats.

CAPTAIN FLED
TO AVOID
ARREST
Police Cannot Account for
LOckwOOd's Disappearance
ia Any Other Way.

Margaret Loundsbury, 33 years old
of 56 Summit place, and Mary OGrady,
80 years old, of 90 High street. were
arraigned before Judge Herr in the
Second Precinct Police Court this morn
ing charged with disorderly conduct.
They pleaded guilty and were fined So.
The charge was technical one made
by Captain Brown, of the Second Pre-
cinct police station, who had the two
women held at the station since
Wednesday night while he was trying to
learn something about the disappear
ance of Captain George Lockwood from
the canal boat John F. Hagar Tuesday
night
Miss Loundsbury was the woman who
fell into the Passaic River and it is
supposed that the missing man sprang
into the water after her and then dis
appeared. Mary O'Grady was present
at the time. The two women, when
taken to the station house, told the
same story, but since they have been
there have told widely different tales
of the circumstances attending the dis
appearance of Captain Lockwood.
The Loundsbury woman said that she
was married. but had not been living
with her husband for the last five
years.
From information received by them
the police believe that there was some
trouble on the boat, and that Captain
Lockwood disappeared from fear Of ar
rest The John r. Hagar will leave
Newark this afternoon for Brooklyn
with new captain in charge.
The disposition of the cases against
the woman win probably settle the
whole matter, SO far as Lockwood is
concerned.
