SPEEDING ENGINE
LOST DRIVE WHEEL
Narrow Escape From Serious Accident
on the Central Vermont Near Wat
erbury Yesterday Afternoon.

| Waterbury, Oct. THE lives OF pas
sengers on northbound local train No. IL
| of the Central Vermont railway, due
here at 1922 p. m, were in peril yes
iterday when locomotive axle broke and
| a driving wheel Came off while the train
was running at an estimated speed Of
40 miles an hour. Instantly the side
rods snapped off, and the revolving ends
failed the locomotive, stripping off the
air tank, running boards and outside
piping, ripping open the boiler covering,
cutting into the cab and puncturing the
boiler. Shrouded in cloud of steam NJ
and abandoned by the engineer and fire.
with all brakes set, ran for nearly a
quarter of a mile before coming to a
stop, mile east of the station.
Engineer Timothy Holland of st. Al
bans, after jamming on the brakes and
reversing the engine, was driven from
the cab and jumped. His left shoulder
was disclocated and his head and face
were badly cut. He was taken to the
station by section men on a handedr
and removed in an automobile to the
State hospital here. Fireman A. W.
Cutting of ST. Albans was also driven
from the cab, escaping with scratches
and bruises.
The train, after racing around curves
and through rock outs, came to stop
on an embankment 80 feet above the
Winooski river. On the other side of
the track Mt this poin. is small pond,
in the quicksand of which- lies buried
wood burning locomotive which fell
into it, with the engineer in the cab, GO
years ago. Except for the missing driv
er, the middle one on the left side OF
the 10 wheeled engine, No. 2l5, not a
wheel of the train left the rails.
The train consisting of mail and bag
gage cars, smoker and day coach, was
in charge of Conductor Fred Mancas-
troppa, whose first thought, after assur
ing himself of the safety of his passen
gers and ordering back flagman, was of
his injured engineer. Holland was found
a long distance up the track, bleeding
from cuts and semi-conscious. 1t was
said that he had apparently received
no internal injuries anu would reeoF-
er. He has a wife and child, and has
been employed by the railroad for 20
years.
A freight engine towed the train into
the ward here, where the damaged To-
was placed on a siding, and the
delayed train left two hours later
The scene of the accident is the same
as that of the wreck in June, 1902, when |
engine 394 and 10 freight cars fell into a |
washout during cloudburst and -four
lives We're lost.

SPORTING NOTES.

According to the final estimate of bat
I ting averages in the National league,
Daubert and Cravath were the real hit
ters. Daubert's average was $40, while
J the Philly man hit for 340 Honus
Wagner the veteran Pirate, did Justice
! to himself by hitting for 300 Wagner
record for batting during his long ca
reer places him many times in this Sc
/ lect group of hitters. AT one time this
fall it was thought that Wagner would
drop below this average.
One of the biggest surprises in the
boxing world this year occurred last
week, when Joe Jeanette won To-
round decision over Sam Langford, re-
puted to be one of the best fighters in
the game to-day. Langford was decid
edly the favorite before the battle. Had
the battle progressed to a finish there
is no telling what the result would have
been.
The Mohawk Giants, colored base
ball team which was slated to appear
in this city during the past season, de-
feated an All l-American league team in
New York on Sunday. The American
Stars was captained by Walter johnson,
the star Washington pitcher. Wick
ware, said to be one of the foremost
colored pitchers of the season, was pit
ted against johnson, defeating him
to 0.
Glen Warner, the Carlisle coach, is
said to have another Jim Thorpe in
Welsh, the Carlisle captain Welsh's
poise in field work Saturday against
Lehigh was remarkable. Carlisle showed
even more strength than was expected
In their big games this fall as excel
lent showings as ever are expected.
Joe Tinker, the former Cub, who man
aged the Reds this season, proved to be
the mainstay of the team. He led his
club in batting with .3ls. In fielding
his record was not eclipsed by any 9th
er shortstop in the league, having per-
eentage of 300, something unusual for
shortstop.
Coach Dave Morey of the Dartmouth
freshman football team has lost a very
valuable man for the remainder of the
year, Switzer, first-string quarter, who
subjected to an operation at the Exc
ter hospital Saturday morning, pre-
vious to the Exeter game. His condition
is serious, but at present things look
favorable for his recovery.
Jack Barry's athletic ability is not
alone confined 10 the baseball field.
Barry is an expert roller polo player
as well as a baseball star. In the win
ter he plays the polo game in Connecti-
cut. The professional league in that
part of the country has been organ
lied for the winter and Barry has been
engaged to handle the affairs of the
Meriden team.
Montana as yet can lay no great claim
to baseball. The mountainous state has
been the nTturing ground for but few
players. The Senator's is the only team
in the major leagues that has two men
on its roster from Montana They are
Williams of Helena and Dawson of Mis-
soula.

were still clouded but there was no rain.
When the batteries were announced

Vermont Supreme Court
Reverses Sentence of
Graniteville Man
WHO WAS CONVICTED
IN McAULEY MURDER
Turley Was Sentenced to
Life Imprisonment for
Second Degree

John Turley of Graniteville, who was
sentenced to life Imprisonment in the
state prison at Windsor, after being con-
death of John McAuley of Graniteyille
on the night of July IL, 1911, was to-
day granted the right to have new
trial by an opinion. rendered in the Ver-
mont supreme court at Montpelier, the
opinion reversing the sentence and re-
manding the cause to Washington coun-
ty court.
Turley occupied seat in the court
room, having been brought to Mont
pelier from the state prison; and after
hearing the Judge rule that he was to
be given another chance for freedom he
was taken to the county Jail in Mont
pelier to await further action in the
case.
The opinion was read before the newly
organized supreme court Chief Justice
George NJ. Powers presiding and reading
the opinion to large number OF law
yers who had assembled for the opening
of the October term of the court. The
reversal of the sentence was made on a
single exception sustained; which was,
that the statement of Primavera, made
while he was under indictment by the
grand jury in the same case, was adj
mitted as evidence by the lower court
In that statement, Primavera was al
legged to have tended to absolve himself
and lay the crime on Turley.
In closing, the judge asserted that the
conviction was obtained on weak evil
dence in parts. No statement was made
by the prosecution afterwards as TO a
new trial, but il is thought probable
that Turley win again be brought be-
fore county court. The Indictment was
brought by special grand jury, being
filed on July %, 1911. The exceptions
TO the sentence to life Imprisonment
were argued before the supreme court
last wear, since which time the court
has had the case, with Turley kept in
confinement.
Two More Opinions.
When the docket was read it was
found that 81 cases were set for hear
ing and two others were continued. In
the Orleans county case of Joseph Cur
rier VS.. Catholic Order OF Foresters, the
court reversed the judgment of the Or
leans municipal court and rendered a
verdict for the defendant. This is a
case in general assumpsit, in which F. Il.
Miles appeared for the plaintiff and
Young & Young for the defendant.
In the Windham county case of Charles

others, Judgment OF the lower court was

Rumor Is Denied

T.. Haynes OF Canon City contrib.
utes the followin ing which Is self-ex.
planatory:
l was down to Ordway last week
and report was circulated there that
Canon City was suffering badly from
the leaf roller. l have lived here six
years and am in close touch with the
fruit growers.
Last year the Lincolu Park district.
which covers the largest part Of the
fruit district here, suffered severely
with the leaf roller. This year every
one sprayed thoroughly with oil early
In the spring, and the results have
been all one could wish. The leaves
are green and nice, and the apple crop
will be from so to 10 per cent OF u
normal crop. With one more oil spray
ing the leaf roller will be thing OF the
past in Lincoln Park.
On the north side, In East Canon aud
Fruitmere, where the growers did not
spray with oil, the apple crop Will be
small in spots but they will all spray
next spring.
AS to this years crop Of strawberries,
cherries, gooseberries, currants and
vegetables, this district has never
raised a bigger crop. and prices have
been extra good.
Besides the oil spray, there Is par
asite working on the leaf roller The
leaf roller worm does not enter the ap-
ple but turns into cocoon and then
into a moth. so that the leaf roller Is
never shipped out with our fruit.
l think Ia justice TO this district
here, inasmuch as our people here own
now over 1000 acres OF farm lands In
the Ordway and Sugar City district,
that you should publish this letter, as
itcontains the facts such as any one
from your country would find them II
