CAUSE OF MUCH TROUBLE

Constipation is more frequent in wo- men than in men. It is almost always present in old age.
 Many results of constipation are at- tributed to something else. Constipa- ton causes pimples and captions. By pressing on the veins it caL-es cold ankles and feet and produces varicose veins. It may cause neuralgia. Constipation often makes children delicate and feeble.
 The remedy is to stimulate the liver by the use of Pinklets, the gentle laxative pills that do not gripe or purge but sim- ply assist nature. Taken regularly for 8 time, they really do correct constipation.
 Write the Dr. Williams Medicine Co.,, Schenectady, N Y, for free sample and booklet on the treatment of constipation or get full-size 25-cent bottle of Pinklets from your own druggist.

TWISTED WRECK
 DELAYS TRAFFIC
Debris Is Now Out of the Way-Dif-
 ference of Opinion As to
Cause.

Winsted, NOv 11-Thc WreckaSe from last nights collision of an east bound Poughkeepsie freight with the owl freight, bound rom here 10 Bridgeport, was cleared away this forenoon so that the express for New fork was only delayed twenty min utes, and trains for Hartford over the Central New England road left on time. George Stroker, a brake man on the Owl and John J. Shana- nan, fireman, both of Waterbury, mad narrow escapes from injury. Stroker had been asleep in the Owls caboose and upon being awakened by shouts of Conductor Harry Hawkins, had just time enough to jump. The caboose was partially demolished. Shanahan was asleep in a com bination smoking and baggage car which was sidetracked opposite the point of the collision of the extra freight with the Owl train. A box car was knocked over against the smoker and eighteen windows and their steel frames were crushed in. Shanahan awoke when the crash came and swung himself clear of the car
 Differences of opinion was held to- day as to the cause of the collision. Men on the extra freight claim that the Owl did not have a flagman out. while those on the Owl claim that the extra was under proper control when it approached the junction of the two lines. They maintain that had it been proceeding slowly it would not have hit the rear end of the Owl.

A Wise Decision.
(Norwich Bulletin)

Down in Pennsylvania there is thd same aversion to grade crossing| that there is in other states, and thd same demand for their eliminationl but as it is everywhere else, sucIt work costs moiey and it is possibll to do only a certain amount of each year. This means that there i4 always something waiting to be~don in this line and with that in min it is not surprising that the publi service commission of that state Ina { turned down the petition for tn ! right to build another spur tract across a much used highway grade.
 When a state is working for tn | abolishing of grade crossings an, progress is aggravatingly slow bo cause of the great amount of worI that is involved, it is a poor polio to continue to add to the number q dangerous crossings. Little is to D, gained by removing those in one seq ton of the state and creating otherj which will be just as dangerous not more so in another locality.
 If grade crossings are going~to b abolished, it is necessary to block th building of new ones, for if favor are going to be extended in one ind stance they must be rendered, in a fairness in others, and once such policy is begun there is no telin where it will end. The one sensil,l thing to do is just what the PenE sylvania commission has done - as that is the denial of all such pet tions. The time is comng who such crossings would have to eliminated and that being the cad it is far preferable that the won should be done now before anothd death trap is created. 1t can done at less expense now and it wi be an effective step for safety.

Not Sunk without Warning.

z London, Nov. Il, 8:2l a. m.-The Italian steamer Ancona was not sunk without warning according to inform Rtion obtained from survivors landed at Malta by the Reuter- correspondent and cabled here. The Austrian sub- marine which overhau1ed her after a long. stern chase, gave the command CT a brief respite to permit the re- nnova1 of passengers but the inde- scrible panic which began among the immigrants on boards as soon as the underwater craft was sighted was responsible for the loss of many lives. In a mad rush for safety, men, wo- men and children overwhelmed the boats. several of which were over tuned before they could be lowered Many of the occupants fell into the sea and were drowned.
 Shots Ad>. r'anic.
 Passengers agree the correspondent states, that shots fired around the steamer by the submarine, apparently to hasten the loading of the boats, added to the panic.
 The Reuter- despatch which con- tains the first connected story of the Sinking of the Ancona Monday after noon twenty hours after she had left Messina, Sicily, follows.
 We left Naples with a fairly large Lumber of passengers, intending tt sail direct to New York, but soon af- ter leaving port received a wireless message directing us to stop at Mes Bina for more passengers and cargo The people aboard were mostly Greeks and JtaIi with large fam nies on their way to the United States

Sighted at 1 O'Clock.
 ''We left Messina at 5 D. m. The captain having been warned of the presence of enemy submarines, took all possible precautions. At exactly 1 o'clock Monday afternoon we sight ed an enemy submarine at a great distance. She came to the surface and made full speed in our direction firing as she did so a shot which went wide across Oup bow. We took this to be a warning to halt.
 'Tmmediately there was the widest panic aboard, not only among the women and children but among the men as well. Women screamed and children clung desperately to their mothers. Meanwhile the submarine continued to shell us, gaining rapidly. The fifth shot carried away the chart house.
 "The engines then were stopped and the Ancona came slowly to a standstill. The submarine, which we could now see plainly was an Austrian came alongside. We heard the com mander talking to our captain. In a somewhat curt manner we were told the Austriars had given us a few min utes to abandon the ship. Meanwhile the submarine withdrew a little dis tance.
 Lowering of Boats. "We turned to the boats, which be- gan to be lowered without loss of time. but the passengers were in a panic. Men, women and children seemed to lose their heads completely. The sub ,x,,, ,. h11 Tn otn departure, continued to fire around | the vessel. There was a rush for the first boats lowered, and in the con. | fusion these were overturned before they were free from the davits, the ; occupants falling into the water Many { were drowned before our eyes.
 "The shrieks of women, ckildrer 1 and struggling men rent the air, but | it seemed no help could be given 1 Every one was trying to act for him. self. The heart-rending screams were | punctuated with shot after shot de. l livered almost mechanically from the deck of the submarine, adding to the panic aboard. Had it not been fol these shots, it might have been pos | sible to restore semblance of order The conduct of the submarine was incomprehensible. Not one shot was directed at the ship, but they were fired all around the vessel as if tc create as much terror as possible Boats Get Away.
 About eight boats got away clear some with a fair complement aboard others half empty. All drifted away | from each other"
 One of the survivors, in describing | his experience said:
