BACK ON THE RAILS.
Big Locomotive Pulled from River al
 North GrosvenordaIe.

Prayed to what a noted citizeu would term a frazzle, the mogul that has been in the river at North Gros- venordale for nearly a week was set back on the rails Thursday morning. All that remains of the machine aside from the tender, is a bare and batter ed boiler, resting groggily over the six driving wheels. It looks all it has been through. What didn't happen to it when it ploughed through a half dozen freight cars and tumbled down the bank into the river, to be buried between a tangle of wrecked cars, was supplied by the crews and the big steam wreclers in their efforts to haul it back on to the rails.
 It is stripped to the degree that characteriZes the appearance of q picked chicken. The jacketing is strip ped from the boiler and sand cham ber the snokestacl, pilot and pony truck are ripped off, as are all of the connecting rods; the cab is reduced to moveable mechanism is out of adjust ment. No. 414 will be remembered as a locomotive that has had it's bumps.
 Two big wreckeTs completed the task of getting it onto the iron again. The crews went at the difficult task in the early hours of Thursday morning, aft CT the Portland express had gone hours. The early morning passenger trains were delayed by the work, but that was all.
 The crippled moguI will probably be taken to East Hartford for repairs. X tTainlOad of wreckage was at North GrOSVenOrdale Thursday night about ready to be removed, relics of what proved to be one of the very worst freight wrecks that ever occurred on the Norwich and Worcester branch.
