EIGHT KILLED; MANY INJURED.
Passenger Train Crashes Into A Work
Train.

Hartford, Conn, June 24.-Eight
workmen were killed and thirty-fve
injured when passenger train on
the Highland division of the New
York, New Havan e Hartford railroad
crashed into work train that was
backing into the city from New Brit
ain last night. OF the injured two
will probably die.
1t took an hour and a half to rescue
one workman who was pinned be-
tween the trucks. His head was
hanging backwards and he suffered
severely, but the rescuers encouraged
him while the doctors reached be-
tween the frame work and treated
the wounds on his face and head.
There are three unofficial versions
of the cause of the wreck. One is
that the passenger train for New Brit
ain went out on wrong track. The
second is that the work train had the
,isnI OIL wa! untH O'Clock and
should have had clear track. The
third is that the work train crew fail
ed TO close a switch. An express
train passed on an adjoining track
soon after the accident and side
swiped the wreckage. Fire also broke
out and after quenching the fire, fire
men with axes worked until the ar
rival of fifty wreckers.

general tenor Of which was a plea for sep

not want this. but asked time to read the
full record. which he said he had been un-
able 70 procure until a day or two ago.

1T occurred to me at the time as singular

formed as 20 the land laws. They were
asked to which the government objected
and the objection was sustained. II they
considered II fraudulent for an entryman
to accept fees for Ming and other expenses
from other parties. The court made this
examination OF itself in several instances
and said that sach an act would not be a
crime. More than half the Jury were ex-
amined on that question and then the
examination was stopped, which, think.
