Ran by Signals.

According to an official statement,
given out by the railroad. the indica-
tons are that the engineer Of the
second section ran 5y beth the distant
and home signals.
The Springfield express was the
same train that was in the wreck at
Westport, Conn, last October, in
which eight persons we're killed and
scores injured. This wreck was
caused when the engineer ran by sig
nails.
The first section of the train which
made up at Boston reached here on
time. but was halted momentarily to
change powers from steam to electric.
While awaiting orders to proceed the
second section rounded a curve at
high speed and crashed into the last
Pullman car. The engine plunged
through the car for 40 feet. This a
was well filed and that more persons
were not killed outright is considered
miraculous.
simultaneously with the crash the
wreckage took fire and the city depart
ment was called out. The blaze was
easily extinguished and the work of
rescue begun at once.

held the bride, smacked his tongue;
the animal drowsed.
Detaile then ordered another do
nestle to strike upon a Chinese gong.
For fully five minutes the horse was
terribly frightened, and the painter
was delighted. But the animal soon
became accustomed to the tomtom
and drowsed again. To draw the
valiant steed from his torpor II was
necessary TO strike the bronze disk
with greater force. This was done
