LOSES BOTH LEGS.
Fireman Michael Kelley Run Over by
String of Cars.

Michael Kelley, a fireman in the en-
ploy Of the New York, New Haven and
Hartford railroad, was run over by a
string of cars in the local yard early
this morning and lost both legs. The
accident happened in the upper yard,
above the Bridge street crossing, about
$50 o'clock. Local freight No. 3S had
arrived from Hartford and was setting
off string of cars when the conductor
of the train discovered Kelley beside
the track mangled to the ankles. He
was rushed as soon as possible to st.
Joseph's hospital and the surgeons be-
gan work on him about 4 o'clock. 1t
was said at the hospital this morning
that he had a fair chance to recover.
The exact cause and reason o. the
accident is not yet know. end in all
probability will not be until Kelley re-
covers from the shock and Is permitted
to tell how it happened. The first that
the trainmen knew of the affair was
when they were attracted by Kelley's
cries. Just how he happened to be
on the track is problematical. 1t is
believed he was on the way to the
roundhouse, where several of the train
men stay. When found he was suffer-
ing greatly from his injuries. His
right foot had been cut off clean at
the ankle and his left foot was badly
crushed up to the ankle.
Drs. John Weldon and Owen O'Neill
went to work Immediately and were
obliged to amputate both legs. The
right leg was amputated at a place
about four inches below the knee and
the left leg about seven inches below
the knee.
Kelley is about 28sor 30 wears old
and his home is in Providence. He
was employed as fireman on the local
freight from Providence which arrives
in this city afternoons and he spent
four days week here and the remain
der in Providence. 1t is said the only
near relative he has is sister, Mrs. o.

train from Palmer was hustled to the
wreck also.
The engine and baggage car of the
regular No. IL c. ". passenger that is
due to leave Willimantic at 6.02 D. m.
were dispatched to South Windham AMI
Murphy was brought to this city and
the ambulA1ce conveyed him from
the STATEN to st. .Joseph,s hospital.
Murphy said that he had been in five
wrecks and that he had railroaded it
for fifteen years. He came from
northern New York down this way in
April and has been on the Central
Vermont road hereabouts ever since.
He has wife and child in New Lon
don.
Or. f. E. Guild of Windham was
called and made a hasty examination
beside the roadway that is only short
distance from the scene of the wreck.
Trainmen carried Murphy there on a
blanket and then the doctor carried
him by team to the South Windham
station.
1t was reported at the hospital that
Murphy was resting comfortably as
could be expected and that unless in
ternal injuries should complicate mat
tiers he would recover. Murphy did not
want to go to the hospital but wanted
to be taken to his home in New Lon
don. He said that he had not had a
doctor before in seven years. Had
the car loaded with the immense stone
rolled forward another yard Murphy
would have been pinned fast beneath
and probably killed almost instantly.
1t is extremely doubtful if the wreck
is cleared away sufficiently to get
trains over the road. A stretch of
about five hundred feet Of iron and
ties will have to be relaid after the
cars are righted. The boat train was
sent to New London via Plainfield Fri
day night. 1t is the worst railroad
wreck that has occurred in the vicinity
of South Windham in many years.

HOW TO ELECT ASSESSORS.
Selectmen Puzzled About New Law
Also Question as to SeIectmen's
Term of Office.

The selectmen and the officers of the
surrounding towns are anxious con-
corning the proper construction of the
law relative to the election of asses
sors passed by the late general as
sembly The public acts for 1903 has
not been issued yet and there is much
confusion as to what the law really
means.
In general way it is understood
that minority representation in the
board of selectmen has been eliminat-
ed and that the three candidates re-
ceiving the greatest number of votes
should be declared elected and further
that said candidates should be elected
for the term of one. two and three
years, respectively.
1t is further understood that the
new law does not provide a method for
placing the names of candidates for
the several terms of office upon the
party ticket. Some hold that the
candidates. should be elected for one,
two and three years, respectively ac-

BOAT FREIGHT WRECKED.
Fireman Murphy Seriously Injured
Thirteen Cars of at South Wind
ham.

At $40 O'Clock Friday afternoon what
is known as the boat freight No. "a,
southbound. was badly wrecked about
a half mile south of South Windham
station at what is known as Hewitt's
curve. The train was made up of SO
cars, caboose and engine No. 1921.
Most of the cars were empties and
at the time of the accident the train
was travelling at fast rate of speed.
The crew in charge of the Central
Vermont freight was Engineer John
Carrigan. Fireman Frank Murphy and
Student" Frank Carpenter. The con-
ductor was A. J. Collier.
Fireman Murphy was the only one
injured. He was in the engine cab and
was thrown out and rolled beneath
the engines tender and the car be-
hind, which was a fiat, loaded with an
immense stone, weighing 1880 pounds
that was consigned to the Lazzari e.
Barton company, Woodlawn, N. Y, n
firm of monumental and mausoleum
makers and was shipped by the Barre
Granite works. Murphy sustained two
broken ribs, a sprained back and arm
and was cut about the head. 1t is
feared that internal injuries may be
found after a careful examination.
Conductor Collier stated that the
wreck was caused by a broken rail.
1t is believed that after the engine
passed over, the heavy car in the rear
so spread the rails as to cause thir-
teen other cars to be thrown off the
iron.
For something like 500 feet the rails
are torn up and the ties ground to
pulp-like consistency. The cars

Probate Court. Dismisses suiivan's Pc

A hearing was held in the probate
court before Judge James T. Shea Fri
day morning upon the petition of
Thomas Sullivan. requesting the court
to order the administrator upon the
estate of JohannSh Sullivan, deceas-
ed, to file his final administration ac-
count in said estate, on the ground
that more than one year had elapsed
since the appointment of said admin
istrator Mr. Sullivan was represent
ed by his attorney, p. ]. Danahey.
To the prayer of the petitioner the
respondent demurred on the ground
that said estate had been declared in
solvent and that the petitioner, who
was the husband of the deceased, had
no interest in its settlement and that
creditors only could legally demand a
final account and upon the further
grounds that commissioners had been
appointed upon the estate to whom
claims against the estate had been
presented and that the commission
ers had not as yet returned list of
said claims thus presented and al
lowed or rejected by them and that
pending said return and the accept
ance of said report by the court that
the administrator could not render an
account of the claims against the es-
tate and their payment by him.
