RELATIVES CLAIM BODY
Of Thomas H. Purcell Thought to Have
Been Killed BY Train.

Burlington, Dec % Mrs. Thomas II.
Purcell, widow of the man who was
killed Wednesday night bv the S:45
train, came to the city with her son,
Harry, yesterday and took the body
back to Vergennes, where burial will
take place this afternoon. Neither the
conductor nor the engineer saw any
thing of Purcell and did not know that
man had been killed until they We're
told of it in Rutland. An examina-
tion Of the engine at that place re-
yealed no traces Of blood or any signs
that man had been struck. The theory
that Purcell was trying to get on the
train is therefore strengthened, as some
blood would certainly be on the pilot,
had the engine struck the man. II is
thought he may have caught che handles
OF the coach and swung accidentally in
between two cars, after which the body
was rolled into the center of the track,

by HER COLLISION AT SEA

with Which She Collided, and It Is
Not Known Whether 1t Was
Sunk by Blow,

Norfolk, Va, Dec. 29.--ln tow of the

torpedo boat destroyer Warrington Is
slowly limping up the Atlantic coast to-
day. The destroyer should reach the
Norfolk navy yard tonight. The iden-
tity Of the ship that ran the Warrington
down of Hatteras in a gale on Wednes-
day is still a mystery. At the time of
the collision, the Warrington was riding
low with the water up to the engine
room bulkhead. There is no danger Of
her sinking.
Two Of the destroyer's crew, ]. n.
Stanley, chief gunner, and G. W. Hound
er. chief boatswains mate, were injured,
the latter seriously, but according to the
dispatches were doing as wen as could
be expected"
The Warrington was struck on the
starboard side near the engine-room
with force enough to smash in one of her
frames, and il is presumed that the
sailing vessel also must have suffered
injury. The messages do not reveal the
full extent of the damage, but say that
the destroyer "watered up to her engine
room bulkhead"
Three officers and twelve of the crew
were still on the Warrington, according
10 the last of the messages received late
last night, but the rest had been taken
aboard the Onondaga with the two men
injured. The Warrington carries n crew
OF about 90 officers and men in all. On
