ENGINEER ON ILL
 HATED TRAIN SOBER

Corning, N. r., July 16.-Positfve confirmation of Engineer William H. Schroeder's denial that he was drunk when he took his train out on the fatal run which ended in the Lacka- wanna Railway wreck of July 4, cost ing fl lives. was developed when the inquest was resumed here, today. William H. Brady, night foreman of the Lackawanna round house at FL mira, >swore positively that Schroeder was absolutely sober when he took his engine out.
 Brady also admitted that the real cause of the wreck was that Enefne 39S was sent out on freight run in a disabled condition. He said that he was short of both engines and men that morning and had to send 39S out on a freight run with AS cars behind her. The engine could Huess were leaking and finally the freight became stalled and held up the Buffalo limited. It was the limit. ed that Schroeder's express smashed. into with fatal results; 'ga7l
 Schroeder Tls recalled, today. ana declared that he had twice been Ion the carpet" for slowing down on bfa runs. The last time, he said, he had lost two minutes because he eIacIx- ened up to see signal during a dense fog such as prevailed the morning of the wreck. 1t was because he knew that a third offense would result in his being "set down" that he had tffed to fix the balky injector of his ef- zine so that it would work and while doing so probably ran past both tfsa cautionary' signal and the f1agman of the limited.
 Schroeder again Insisted positively that if the flagman had used a tor pedo as the rules require, the wreck could not have taken place At the conclusion of his testimony the inquest was adjourned for a week.

cow EATS CORN
 AND CABBAGE TOO

The mooley COW celebrated in song and story must be a different animal from the fiery beast that goes snort ing around tearing up nice, green cab bageS and eating green corn on She ear. The COW that caused all ttsw trouble between Louis Lmone ard Angelo DiFelice, two popular members of the North End farming coloay, vas evidently a bad actor. Angelo has brought suit against Louis for S50 damages claiming that the cow yvxz1sI on the rampage in Angefo'S garden, destroying 50 ears of corn, a large portion of cabbage without the corn ed beef, and a mess of beans. The COW must have thought it was at- tending the annual clambake of the Harry P. Quinn Marching and Chow. der Club.
 Judge F. l.. Wilder heard the action this morning in the city court, civil side. He also held a hearing in the replevin action brought by Louis against Angelo. It appears that An gelo bought a calf from Louis and when the calf became lonesome the COW went to keep it's offsprfRe com pany. Louis brought suit to get the COW back and sent Deputy Sheriff Donnelly with those papers. Angelo brought down the old musket and took a shot at the sheriff, but the latter finally made a flank movement and captured the COW.
 The hearing was still on at press hour. There may be a drop in beef in the North End if any more bovines try to raid the cabbage patch.
