He put under the influence of chloroform and the dislocation was re- duced after which he was moved to his home in Church street. Yester- day he was resting comfortably. MT. Thompson is over 70 years of age, and his injuries are severe, but it is hoped no serious complications will set in. The conductor had called out "Strat- ford Center and the presumption is that MT.
