REAR END COLLISION.
Slight Accident in Which Freight Car
 and caboose Are Damaged.

Friday morning the $40 passenger train out of this city over the Central Vermont railroad ran into the rea1 end of extra freight No 1897 a short distance east of the South Coventry station. A freight ear and a caboose were badly smashed up and the pilot on the engine of the passenger train was also somewhat damaged as a re- suit of the crash. The extra freight had fifteen minutes ahead of the pas senger train but before reaching South Coventry lost time because the engine did not steam properly. The attempt was made to take the siding to permit the passenger train to pass.
 The rear end brakeman got out of the caboose and ran back down the track and tried to flag the approaching passenger train. There is a curve in the road at this point, but it appeared as though the engineer of the passen- ger could have got t view of the freight train ahead in ample time to have stopped his train and avoided the smashup. The f1agman had only got about 600 feet down the track when the passenger train rounded the bend. He waved his flag, but the en- gineer either did not notice the signal or did not pay any heed as he did not attempt to slow down until after pass ing the flag and then 1t was too late to prevent the rear end collision that followed immediately, although the speed of the train was considerably reduced before the actual crash came. The caboOse was badly damaged and the freight car directly ahead of the caboose was cut in two, blocking the iron for a time The train crews act ed as wrecking crew and finally suc- ceeded in toppling the caboose and freight car off the track to permit the trains to proceed to their destina- tion.

THoRNSBERRY.

Thomas A. Thornsberry, the little
son of Mr.. and Mrs. D. R. ThornS-
berry, died at the family home in
this city, Saturday afternoon, Sept.
Z, 1912, aged l year, 8 months and
u days. Funeral services were held
on Monday afternoon in the Presby-
terrain church and interment made
in the Ellinwood cemetery.
Little Thomas suffered an injury
to his tongue several days ago and
death resulted from inability to
stamch the flow of blood. The
little fellow made a brave fight for
life and all that the very best of
medical skill and loving care could
do for his relief was done but to no
avail. The day before death came
he rallied and for a time it was
thought that his life would be saved,
but during the night he again had a
change for the worse and Saturday
afternoon he passed away.
The accident which was the cause
Of his death occurred a couple of
weeks ago when he had climbed up
On a chair and was telephoning to
his father who was up town. In
climbing down from the chair on
which he was standing he slipped
and struck his chin on the back of
the chair; biting through the under
side of his tongue. The wound bled
considerable before the arrival Of a
physician when the flow of blood wa
stopped temporarily, but it contin-
ued bleeding at intervals until his
death. Several months ago Thomas

ed his rugged constitution so that he
was unable to- withstand the shock O
the last.
Thomas was a particularly bright
and lovable little fellow and was the
pride and JOY Of his parents hearts,
and he was the especial idol Of his
grandfather, Mr.. Thomas, in whose
honor he was named, and the grief
stricken relatives have the sincere
sympathy Of their hosts of friends in
their hour of great sorrow.-Leader.
