an investigation to determine how an OBJ
struction came to be on the Boston &
Maine railroad track here Monday night
which would have caused very serious
accident but for fortunate circumstance.
The children were released, however, as
it appeared that there was no malicious
intent on their part.
The { :04 train from keene narrowly
escaped being derailed Monday night near
the handcar house when it ran onto six
fishplates and a piece of angle iron which
had been left on the rails. The train
happened to be a little ahead of time and
was running slowly which was the only
thing that prevented an accident. accord
ing to the engineer, who stated that had
he been running - miles an hour the
tram surely would have been thrown off
the track and possibly down a steep en-
bankment
Deputy Sheriff f. O. Packard Of this
place was called to investigate and he
learned that several Polish children were
seen playing on the track and had left

FOUR KILLED IN
TROLLEY CRASH
Train Loaded with Children Collided
with Freight in Westport, Conn,
Last Night.

WESTPORT, Conn, July 23.-Three
persons were killed outright another
died later and 81 were injured, some
seriously, IS the result of head-on
collision here last night between
train of three trolley cars, carrying
many Sunday school picnickers and a
trolley freight.
The accident occurred at the corner
of State and King streets at sharp
curve on down grade and it is said
both cars were travelling at high rate
of speed.
The three trolley ears, coupled to-
gether. carried 279 persons, who were
returning from the annual picnic of
the Point Union Mission Sunday school
Of East Bridgeport, at Roton Point,
NorwaIk.
The dead are: Andrew Fisher. aged
l6; Raymond Fuller, aged u; Frank
Nagry, aged IL; Mabel Cleveland, agci
p. All of the dead were from Bridge
port.
According to DIR. Frank Powers, the
town medical examiner, the accident
was caused when the motorman of the
picnic train, Harold Nathan of Nor
walk, put on all speed, while going
down hill in an endeavor to reach
siding before the arrival of the trolley
freight, which he knew was coming.
DR.. Powers says that Nathan 5 cars
were travelling so fast, that even if
there had been no collision, they would
have been derailed. The brakes were
| not set.
There was a terrific crash as the
| cars met and the air was filed with
splinters, flying glass and dust. The
trolley freight plowed through the first
| picnic ear, which was virtually smashed
to pieces. Only the two rear seats and
the trucks now remain. Even the root
| was wrenched off and tossed to one
| side Of the tracks. The four persons
who were killed were sitting on the
front seat. DR.. Powers saws it is a
miracle that all in the first car were
not killed.
\ panic ensued after the crash. The
shrieks and @roans of the injured could
be heard for blocks. Some of the pic

KING GEORGE is

After the Conference He Was in Con-
sultation with Premier Asquith-Suf-
fragette Created Diversion at Buck
ingham Palace.

LONDON, july % - Today 5 meet
ing of the political leaders in Bucking-
ham palace in reference to the Ulster
situation was little more protracted
than the previous ones. At adjourn
ment it was announced that the confer
ees would continue discussion tomor-
row. \ delay in making the announce
ment lead to the belief that the King s
effort to effect a solution had been Civ
en- up.
The crucial question of the area TO
be excluded from the control Of the
parliament in Dublin under the Irish
home rule measure was the chief sub
iect of discussion. 1t is supposed that
it was found impossible for the con
ferees to attain an acceptable compro-
mise on this matter without further
consideration.
After the adjournment Premier As
King George, whom he informed on the
situation. John Redmond and John
Dillon drove directly from the palace
to Downing street, where they lunched
with Llovd-GeOrge.

of Lloyd's in New York to give him policy
for three hundred and seventy-6ve thousand
dollars insuring his marriage, two weeks from
that time. to Cynthia Meyrick. daughter of
millionaire Richard Minot, one of Lloyd's
experts, was sent to Florida to guard the in
terest of the company by seeing that nothing
should interfere with the marriage.
Harrowby refused to let Minot accompany
him south on Martin Walls yacht, the Lieth.
and when he attempted to get aboard he was
thrown overheard. He learned that the real
name of the yacht was the Lady Evelyn, which
had been painted out. Minot then departed
by rail, and when near his destination met
beautiful young woman. who, exasperated at
the slowness of the train, joined him in taking
a wheezy old taxicab for the last part of the
journey. The woman was Cynthia Meyrick,
and Minot fell utterly in love with her.
Jack Paddock college friend of Minot's,

An Eloquent Passage.

Probably OF all the beautiful and
eloquent passages ever written by
the inimitable George d. Prentice,
the following is the finest:
1T cannot be that earth is mans
only abiding place. 1t cannot be
that our life is a bubble cast by
eternity to float a moment upon its
waves and sing into nothingness.
Else why is it that the high and
glorious aspirations which leap like
angels from the temnle of our hearts
are forever wandering unsatlsfied? ?
Why is IL that the rainbow and cloud
come over us with beauty that is
not of earth, and then pass off to
leave us to muse on their loveliness?
Why is 1t that the stars which hold
their festival around the midnight
throne are set above the grasp OF
our limited faculties, forever mock
ing us with their unapproachable
glory7 And, finally, why is 1t that
bright forms of human beauty are
presented to our view and taken from
us, leaving the thousand streams Of
our affection to flow back In an Alp
Inc torrent upon our heartsH There

GIVE THAT PUNY CHILD
THIS GUARANTEED REMEDY
LYDIA NJ. Howell,
County President.

If your child is under-weight, list
less, ailing, liable to get sick easily,
it needs medicine to build its weight
and strength. For this purpose there
is nothing else we know of that we
can so strongly endorse as Rexall
Olive Oil Emulsion. The remarkable
success of this splendid medicine is
due to the fact that it contains in
gradients that tone the nerves, en-
rich the blood and furnish to the en-
tire system the strength, weight and
health-building substances it needs.
And it does all that without injuring
the stomach. In fact, Rexall Olive
Oil Emulsion Is not only pleasant to
take, but even the most sensitive
stomach is benefited by it, and the
digestion improved. On the other
hand, it contains no alcohol or habit
forming drugs, which most parents
object to giving their children. 1t
does its good work by taking hold of
the weakness and builds the body up
to its natural strength, at the same
