Out in tho plaza the sound waxed

"Thls meeting wc're-going to at

DYING MAN DISCOVERED NEAR RAILROAD TRACKS Savisky Probably Struck By Late Berlin Dinky Last
 Night.

New Britain's long list of casualties due to, people walking on the rail- road tracks will probably be in- creased by one through the death of John Savisky. aged twenty-one, of 345 Myrtle street, who is expected to die at the hospital. He was struck by train last night on the Berlin branch.
 Savisky was found lying beside the westbound track at 5:2O o'clock this morning by Alexander Litke, night watchman at the boys depart ment of the State Trade school. Litke notified the police and Savisky was taken to the hospital. His right arm had been cut off by train and his right shoulder was crushed. It was not expected that he could live throughout the day at the hospital this morning and his condition was given as very critical.
 When taken to the hospital by Off, ficers McCabe and Malone in the po- lice ambulance Savisky was semi conscious. It is said that he made the statement that he was run down about midnight.
 Yard Master Walter L. Halliday of the railroad made an investigation of the accident today and believes Savisky was struck by the 11:25 train from Berlin last night. Savisky is not married.
