 FIagman Blamed.
 Friday the horror was charged with out reservation to the flagman of local No. 775, who when sent back to flag the East Hartford extra went instead into his own caboose on the siding and fell asleep. When awakened and con- fronted with the magnitude of the hor- TOT of his negligence he stole away and has not since been seen. Engineer Tufts was rushing south with his heavy train when the tail lights on the local freight on the siding caught his eyes. He had orders through North Grosvenordale and of course had no reason to suspect that all of the local train was not clear of the main line. Dashing around the curve he had no warning of the impending disaster and before he realized it his big locomotive was blowing through the other train.
 The crash, it has since been learned threw Fireman Murphy and Brakeman Peters who was riding in the cab, like catapu1ts out over the river and clear or the wreck, good fortune that Tufts could not share. Both Murphy and Peters were reported as comfortable and in no danger of death Friday. They are at the local hospital. Peters crawled across the river and was giv- en assistance in a nearby mill tene- ment; Murphy was assisted to the caboose of the train. his first request being for q. cigarette. He was much affected by Tufts death
