road, which left New York at S:O2 a.
m, today, jumped the track while
crossing grade bridge 100 yards east
OF the station here and one woman
was killed and eight persons were
badly hurt. The train was crowded
with passengers from New York. It
parted just back OF the second coach,
as the three middle cars were seen to
sway on the bridge. Then the three
cars as they tore along the rails,
toppled over and crashed upon their
sides at the very edge of the bridge

Passengers in the three overturned
cars were hurled from their seats and
upon one another in heaps. Some OF
the seats became loosened from their
fastenings and fell upon the PROSTATE
passengers on the floor Of the cars.
A fearful panic occurred In the
three overturned coaches. Men and
women as soon as they recovered from
the shock of being flung against the
sides of the cars, tried desperately to
make their way out through windows
and doors. The woman who was kill
ed was dashed against the side Of the
car and was left where she lay, as the
others tried to get out. Physicians
from Greenwich attended the injured,
who were taken to hospitals.
What caused the wreck Is not
known. 1t could be that either the
axle or one Of the wheels on the third
coach broke and thus caused that car
and the two behind to jump the rails.
Chief of Police Roch had force of
men quickly on the scene and after
an investigation, placed Engineer
Kendall under arrest. He was taken
to police headquarters and held until
the coroner could have time to act
on the death of Miss Armstrong.

HOLY THURSDAY
SERVICES In CHURCHES

Maundy, or Holy Thursday, services
were observed generally in Roman
Catholic, Episcopal and Lutheran
churches to-day. In the Catholic
churches the services were marked by
the impressive ceermony Of the faith
and the churches were crowded 10 the
doors. In the Episcopal and the Luz
theran churches the services, although
less elaborate, were also impressive.
The day is called Maundy-Thursday
from the "mandatum." or precept. the
first word Of the antiphon, "A new
give you" which is
sung while the feet Of certain poor
men-whenever this is practical-are
washed. Il is the feast of the I'M
bread, when, with the Jews
Of old, the pasch should be eaten at
sunset. In the Catholic Episcopal and
Lutheran churches, especially in the
Catholic Church, It commentaries the
institution of the blessed sacrament at
the last supper, or pasch eaten by
Jesus with His diaciples.

ROW OVER THE
SUBMARINES
Fight Opens in Congress
About Purchase From
Electric Company

WASHINGTON. April 16.-With a
stubborn parliamentary skirmish, the
fight on the appropriation for the pur-
chase of eight submarine boats began
in the House to-day, when considera-
ton Of the naval appropriation bill
was resumed. Representative Hin
(Repr Comm. made a point of order
against the proviso in the submarine
boat section of the bill which gives
the contract for the boats to the Elec-
tric Boat Company unless an equally
efficient boat is built by any other
concern by next October, a thing said
to be impossible
Chairman Mann, presiding I'm the
committee Of the whole overruled the
point after an argument by Represen-
tative Roberts (Rep.. Mass)
Hill then made a point against the
entire section. Roberts contended this
came too late, but was overruled.
The chair sustained the point OF
order. and the entire submarine ap-
propriation was temporarily stricken
from the bin.
No sooner had the section been stricken
out than Representative Olcott. (Rep. N.
W offered a new section and Representa-
tive Bonynge CRep. col), a substitute
The Olcott section was practically the
same as the section stricken out. but met
the objection Of the chair. The Bonynge
amendment provided that the secretary OF
the navy shall in his discretion purchase
eight submarines, provided that prior to
the award Of the contract the secretary
shall determine the comparative efficiency
Of the different boats by such tests as he
may prescribe. In effect it provides for
another test of submarines. similar to
the one which the Electric. Boat Com
pany won last summer. at Newport.
