His Own Little Girl.

Springfield Mass, Sept. l7.-Pauline,
the nine-year-old daughter of DIR. T. F.
Reardon, was killed on Chestnut street
yesterday by DR.. Charles P. Hooker's
automobile. Without knowing the iden-
tity of the child, DR.. Hooker took in his
arms the limp form and fastened to the
office of the nearest physician.
When DR.. Reardon opened the door
the child's face was averted. Not until
the lifeless body.had been tenderly plac-
ed on the operating table for examina-
ton did DIR. Reardon learn that the
child was.his own daughter.
He placed his hand over lthe child's
heart. Action had ceased. Without an
exclamation DR.. Reardon sat down in
the nearest chair in a state of collapse.

Home Investments for
Savings Banks

The Waterbury Record thinks that
the plan of having their Savings Bank
deposits invested at home appeals to
Vermonters, and that this fact &C
counts largely for the success of the
Hyde Park Savings Bank, whose funds
are all invested in Vermont. 1t says
Last Thursday, July II, was a proud day
for ex'Gov c. S Page. The Lamoille
County Savings Bank, of which Mr.. Page is
president showed that the bank assets had
passed the million dollar mark, 1t has been
the motto of the bank since it was started
that all its loans would be in Vermont, and
to-day not single dollar is loaned out of the
State. Vermonters like the plan of having
their savings invested at home and depositors
like the idea of having a man Of Mr.. Pages
business ability at the head of the bank, thus
the principal reason why the bank is so
successful

for killing Martin Kellogg, Street Com
missioner of Norwalk, on Saturday with
his automobile. Frost, who is seventeen
years old, struck Mr.. Kellogg as he was
stepping from trolley car.
The arrest of Frost was the outcome
of the inquest held by Coroner Doten, of
Bridgeport, this morning. Prosecutor
Davis had the writ drawn up and it was
served upon Frost. at the close of the
hearing. Frost is also to answer to the
state for running car when under the
legal age of eighteen.
1t was brought out at the inquest that
young Frost is near -sighted and that he
was going forty miles an hour just be-
fore the killing; also that he had been
arrested previously for speeding.
General Frost, who is Yale man and
lawyer, appeared for his son at the in
quest. The heirs of. Mr.. Kellogg were
represented by an attorney, showing
that they intend to institute civil pro
ceedings.
Mr.. Kellogg was one of the most prom
inent men in town. His funeral will be
held from the Norwalk Methodist church
tomorrow, and the city officials will act
as pallhearers. N. Y. Tribune.

Drops with Lantern, An other Flags
EXPRESS

Canaan, n. H., Sept l6.-Frank Ryan,
brakeman on the wrecked flier, and
Arthur Freeman are today hailed as
the heroes of the wreck. But for them
the Montreal express, which was thun-
dering along behind the Quebec train,
would have been added to the pile of
wreckage.
1t was but a short distance behind,
and out of reach of the train despatchers,
tearing down upon the spot where the
awful catastrophe had just taken place,
its crew and scores of passengers una
ware of their danger. A little more and
they would have dashed around the
curve in the track to their death, had
not Ryan remembered his duty and
started back with his lantern.
Ryan was crushed and bruised in the
wreck. One arm hung Imply at his
side as he slowly and painfully dragged
himself out from under the great mass
of splintered wreckage. Once the pain
was so great that he was almost obliged
TO give up, but he persevered and finally
won.
Then he hurried to the back and grab
bling a red lantern that was still burn
ing, started stumbling mp the track

on was tangled mass of iron and steel,
from which the steam was still rising
and which had once been two locomo-
tives. Off to one side was crowd of
people hurrying from one writhing form
to another in a vain attempt to ease the
pain and stop the flow of blood. On the
other side of the track all were silent as
one by one the bodies of the dead were
laid in an ever-increasing row until 16
lifeless forms were resting side by side
beneath the trees.
AS soon as practicable the more seri-
ously injured were laid on stretchers and
taken by train to Hanover, n. H., where
they were given medical aid and surgi.
cal treatment at the Margaret Hitchcock
hospital at Dartmouth college. But be.
fore the train reached here on its way to
Hanover, eight more had succumbed to
their wounds, which brought the death
roll up to "a. During the forenoon 81 of
the injured were taken to Hanover
while the bodies OF the dead were re-
moved in two trains to Concord.
DUE TO MISUNDERSTANDING.
Superintendent Ray, as soon as he had
arranged for the removal of the victims
of the accident, began an investigation
of the cause, and this afternoon gave out
the following statement:
The accident was due to a misunder
standing between j. A. Crowley, night
dispatcher at Concord, who has been in
the service seven years, and John
Greeley, the night operator at Canaan
who has seen % years service in trans
hitting train orders. One of these two
men made the fatal error of taking a
cipher for four. The train order which
Conductor Lawrence of the freight signed
at the Canaan station, said that train No
80 was running one hour and 10 min
utes late. On this order the freight con-
ductor could easily have made the side
track at West Canaan, and this was his
intention. Ordinarily train No. "a fol.
lows No. 30, 80 minutes later, but the
freight conductors order received al
West Hanover stated that No. "a was
40 minutes late. 1t was the freight con.
ductors intention then to keep on tc
West Canaan. Train Dispatcher Crow
ley of Concord, states that he told the
Canaan operator that No. "a was an hour
and 10 minutes late. 1t was this mis-
take of taking cipher for figure that
caused the wreck"

Automoh bile Accidents.

The following automobile accidents
are taken from the New York Tribune of
the 18th and an Albany paper. In the
Tribune of the 10th there was an account
of two persons run over and killed in
New York city. The murder of the little
girl in Massachusetts is a fearful illustra-
ton of the present condition of things,
which it is inconceivable that the Ameri-
can people will permit to continue much
longer.
Will our selectmen do their duty, and
see that the law where they have posted
roads regulating speed, as between East
Middlebury and Middlebury, is enforced:
A very little organization, especially
with the aid of the telephone, will ac-
complish this in any town, and if the
law is enforced, the danger from these
machines will be very considerably re-
duced. But more thorough law, giving
to the people of every town the local
option to prohibit them entirely, is abso-
lutely essential to the safety, comfort
and rights of the citizens of Vermont !;
and we believe the voters will see that
no man is elected to. any State office
who is not thoroughly committed to this
policy. Nor. do we want in the Legisla-
ture men who do not know which side
of the fence they are on upon this i'm
portant question; especially in the Sen
n r1a hot n

Crash.

Concord, N. H., Sept. 16.-Railroad Of
ficias today admitted that they were
conversant with the fact that the wreck
was about to take place before the event
happened, but were powerless to avert
it. They did the only thing that remain
ed, they ordered out the wrecking trains
and had everything in readiness to rush
aid to the spot when the expected re-
port reached them.
1t is the duty of each station agent
to report to the train dispatcher at the
main Office of the division the passing
of every train and when the operator
at West Canaan reported the passing
of the freight train Dispatcher BROMLEY
Immediately realized that mistake had
been made, but it was then too late to
rectify it.

FLAGS THE EXPRESS

Meanwhile Freeman, who lives not far
away, had been aroused by the terrible
crash and as he hurried half dressed
from his home he saw Ryan running up
the track. Then he saw him fall and
in moment he realized what the man
was trying to do and, grabbing the Ian
tern from the unconscious mans hands
he ran around the turn and tagged the
express. Tender hands lifted Ryan into
one of the cars of the train which by
his heroism had been saved and he was
later removed to the hospital at Han
over.

WRECK INEVITABLE.

One glance at the chart before hin
showed that a wreck was inevitable
The TWO trains, the express and thu
freight, were between stations, out o.
reach of any message, and tearing to-
ward each other at top speed.
Browleys first act was to call hi
chief Train Dispatcher Randolph, who
was off duty, and then he reported tn,
matter to Division Superintendent Ray
Mr.. Ray Immediately ordered trains
made up and the shops along the lint
We're told to get their wrecking crews
ready for work in the shortest possible
time.
WAIT FOR THE CRASH.
Then Bromley sat back and waited fol
the flash which would tell him of tn,
horrible accident.
With his pencil he figured out the very
spot where it would occur, for he knew
the exact position of the trains and theil
relative speed. The minutes seemed lik,
hours as the trains rushed toward eacl
other.
He knew when they reached the poin
of the collision, and a few minute
later when the telegraph instrument be
gan to click he needed not to stop anC
spell out the syllables, for he knew
the awful message that the wires car
ried.
A minute more and wrecking train
were speeding to the scene with clea
tracks and right of way over every
foot.
