KILLED IN
WRECK ON NEW
HAVEN ROAD
Burning Cars Add to Horrors
of Catastrophe
ENGINE JUMPED CROSSOvER
Four Loaded Pulimans Followed
Mail and Baggage Cars into
the Ditch.

New Haven, CT, Oct. 4-The
Springfield express. second section,
running from Hartford to New York
over the New York, New Haven and
Hartford railroad, was wrecked west
of Westport, Ct, yesterday afternoon,
when the engine, driven at high speed
failed to take a crossover from one
track to another The train went in
TO the ditch alongside the tracks, and
the four Pullmans which followed the
mail and baggage cars were complete
lv demolished The wreckage took
fire. adding to the horror of the scene.
Eight lives in all were lost. five OF
these being women who were passen-
gers in the first Pullman coach, which
had to bear the brunt of the shock,
and the others being the engine crew
Fully 80 persons were injured, some
of whom are in serious condition.
The wreck was not unlike that on
the Fairfield yiaduct. six miles east
of Westport, on July II last year
when the Federal express went on
the embankment after the engine had
failed to make the crossover at high
speed.
Although the wreck of rescue was
pushed as rapidly as possible, il was
several hours before the bodies in the
first parlor car we're reached and re-
moved to the morgue. Meantime wild
rumors Of loss of life had spread
most of those describing the disaster
as far greater than that OF the Fair
field viaduct 1t was very late before
IL was definitely known that the death
list in the train itself was not large.
Even when the railroad officials were
making their preliminary report nix
ing the number of dead at seven
there were rumors of many bodies,
charred by flames, being taken out Of
the wreck
The locomotive went over on its
side after leaving the roadbed and
the boiler to all appearances exploded
though this is denied by the company.
Engineer George l.. Clark was taken
out alive, but died soon after. Joseph
j. Moker, his fireman, was crashed TO
death The baggage car next follow
ing completely catapulted the engine,
but strange to say baggageman and
a newsboy in ii escaped with their
lives. The four chair cars next fol-
lowing we're overturned and in these
occurred the loss OF life. The three
day coaches. although derailed. re-
manned upright. To add-to the dis
tress the wreck carried down the
poles carrying wires alongside OF the
tracks and delay ensued before out
side assistance could be. secured

ton that has ever been made or ever

never asserted itself so much as in
these remarkable moving pictures.

in presenting Camille" by her own
company from the theatre Sarah
Bernhard in Paris

Sarah Bernhard in Camille" will be
seen in this city for two days begin

WHAT is BEERw UP AGAIN
Department to Put Reopened Cues
ton up TO Congress.

Washington, Oct AFTER mulling
over the question What is beer?" for
more than two years the Department
on Agriculture has decided that 1t
does not know and will pass the mat
ter up to Congress when that body
convenes in December.
Secretary Wilson some time ago
reached the conclusion that beer was
beverage made of barley. malt,
hops, yeast and potable water" and
was about to PROFOUND this conclus-
ion and compel brewers under the
pure food act to make beer out of
these materials or If not so made
TO brand it imitation beer"
DR.. Harvey w Wiley, then head of
the pure food board. was primarily
responsible for this definition of
beer and strongly advocated a strict
enforcement of il. The brewers of
the country put up a stiff fight and
they were aided by the Corn Products
people, who sell hundreds of thous-
ands of dollars worth of corn pro-
ducts annually to the brewers.
The departments position was
backed up by the farmers, who assert
ed barley growers were losing money
every year on account of the brew
ers using substitutes for barley.
About a month ago Secretary Will
son prepared for PRONUNCIATION a de-
cision as to what beer should be
made OF and directing brewers to
label their product so that consumers
would know exactly what they were
drinking. Then, it is stated. the
legal officers of the department step
ped in and informed the Secretary
that there was no warrant in the
present law to define beer or to COM
pei brewers to place on labels the
ingredients entering into their pro-
duct.
Today Secretary Wilson definitely
decided that additional legislation
was necessary before he could make
any decision.
In the meantime. however. DR..
Wiley is certain to raise rumpus.
He will oppose bitterly the quashing
OF the opinion reached by him when
he was head Of the pure food bureau.

SHOT TWO DEER
Pair of Two-Prong Bucks Were in

Merton Olin, a farmer living in
North SALISBURY near the Glasten-
bury line shot two buck deer in his

dressing the deer. The deer, which
were two-prong bucks, were brought

dividually in the executive chamber
at any time that you desire"
Gentlemen ! thank you for your
courtesy and your attention"
Following the address of Gov.
Fletcher the oath of Office was ad-
ministered to Frank f. Howe as lieu
tenant governor. On taking the chair
as presiding officer of the Senate
Lieut.. Gov. Howe, said;
Gentlemen of the Senate: Under
the circumstances of the election this
year ! have not had an opportunity
to prepare any lengthy address, and
so am not going to inflict very much
upon you at this time or at any future
time if / obey my judgement as 1t
comes to me at this moment
Il appreciate the honor that has
been conferred upon me by you and
the citizens of the state OF Vermont,
and hope that | may carry out the
duties imposed upon me as creditably
as my abilities will let me and in do
ing that | ask the forbearance of all
the senator's, and / know | shall re-
ceve it if | deserve it. The Senate
is made up this year of q republicans
three democrats and so progressives,
(applause) not necessarily in a parts
an sense but anxious to advance the
interest and prosperity OF the state
of Vermont, and that is what any pub
lie body is for
: "You may have read in the news
papers that the Senate this year is
a remarkable body. But you must
not believe all that you read in the
newspapers for the newspapers don't
always tell the truth. But they some
times do. and in this case think they
have told the truth. | think the Sen
ate is remarkable both in experience
and ability, and it is your purpose and
intent to do your duty for our state
of Vermont, In looking over the
House ! believe that is remarkably
able body It is made up, more than
is usual, of young men who have not
had any great experience in public
life, but who will try to do the best
they can for the state. But the SEN
ators have all had experience If they
don't do well it is not because of lack
of training for they have had training
and experience, and it is up TO them
TO make good on the record of the
past for the good of the future. There
is no dividing line between the past
and present, the Providence that has
placed us here has put upon us he
responsibility of transmitting to flu
ture generations the wisdom and tai
ent and glory of the old. The heritage
that we have received from the past
is a glorious record, and as servants
of the state of Vermont IL is our duty
to carry forward the work that has
been handed down to us, and TO be-
queath to the future what we have
had from the past ! thank you"
Both Houses will probably adjourn
tomorrow until Monday or Tuesday
when the committees will be made
up.

ton tonight in the executive chamber

HERE IS A REAL
DYSPEPSIA CURE
NO SOURNESS. GAS OR
DYSPEPSIA IN FIVE MINUTES
A Little Diapepsln Now VIII Make
Your Out of Order Stomach Feel
Fine-Digests All Your Food, Lcay-
ing Nothing to Ferment and Sour.

The question as to how long you
are going to continue a sufferer from
indigestion, dyspepsia or out of or
der stomach is merely a matter OF
how soon you begin taking some D!a-
pepsin.
If your stomach is lacking in di-
gestive power, why not help the
stomach to do its work, not with
drastic drugs, but a reinforcement
of digestive agents, such as are nat
urally at work in the stomach.
People with weak stomachs should
take little Diapepsin occasionally
and there will be no more indiges-
ton, no feeling like a lump of lead
in the stomach, no heartburn, sour
risings. gas on stomach or belching
of undigested food, headaches, dlzzl-
ness or sick stomach, and, besides,
what you eat will not ferment and
poison your breath with nauseous
odors. All these symptoms resulting
from a sour, out-ot-order stomach
and dyspepsia are generally relieved
in five minutes after taking little
Diapepsin.
Go to your druggist and get a so
cent case of Pape's Diapepsin now,
and you viii always go to the table
with a hearty appetite, and what you
eat will taste good, because your
stomach and intestines will be clean
and fresh, and you will know there
are not going to be any more bad
nights and miserable days for you
They freshen you and make you fee
like life is worth living.
