murder Of Mary johnson, an aged re-
cluse, at Wallingford, at Wallngford

Branch Line.

The old engine 49, which is making
a pitiful attempt to run the Barre
branch trains since engine s52s was put
out Of commission temporarily by the
collision at the Junction last week, broke
down yesterday afternoon on the run to
the Junction at 3:05 to connect with
the northbound train No and had to
be laid up for couple Of hours. A
spring hanger broke, letting the boiler
drop down onto the frame as the train
was going from Montpelier to the june
tion
Another chapter was then added TO
the feeble attempt which is being made
to keep the hrainch line going, when the
still older engine, "205," which has been
doing yard duty at the Junction and is
said to have not been out Of sight Of the
junction for many years, was substitut-
ed while e5S' was being patched up,
This engine, in running train 6s to Will
liamstown, got out Of breath before it
reached there last evening and had to
stop for Is minutes and steam up.
When ii finally reached Williamstown
and was being run onto the turn table,
the eccentric failed to work and this
caused a delay Of IS minutes, and held
up the north bound New England States
Limited and the south bound local No.

trains had to wait for the Barre branch
train which Is due to leave here at 5:45.
When the train finally arrived engine
"5S" had been patched up 80 that it was
put lack onto the train.
The regular branch engine No SO,
which had its pilot smashed in the head
