Passengers From New Britain Too
 Late for Bankers Express.
GIANT ELM PLANTED IN l7S4
Set Out By Samuel Bishop Shortly After Revolutionary War.-F'uneral of Martin R. Dunham.-BaldWln S,,es Borgeois.- News.

Some one misplaced a switch in the railroad yards this morning just as 5the 6:59 Berlin dinky train was Leaving for the local passenger sta- ton and the result was that While the forward trucks of one of the coaches went down one track, the rear trucks ran onto a sidetrack. The en- , gineer brought his train to an imme- diate stop, thereby preventing bad accident.
 AS a result of the incident, the dinky reached the Berlin station too late to make connection with the Bankers express for New York and a few passengers were obliged to wait f or the S:51 train.
 Planted in 17S4.
 The massive elm in front of the residence of the Misses RoyS on Worthington ridge is no more. Tree Warden Johnson and his helpers brought down the trunk yesterday morning and today men were en- gagged in saving the heavy piece into small lengths preliminary to loading them into the town teams to be car- ried away.
 An article in an issue of the Berlin News printed several years ago has the following to say regarding the tree: The large elm on the north bank in front of the Loveland house, now occupied by the Roys sisters, was set out in 17S4 by Samuel Ssh ur. He told MT Galpin that, when he was nineteen, he went over an the. ledge. dug up that tree and brouoht it over to the village on his hack. At the same time, he planted ' on the south front bank a buttonball which grew to an immense size. 1t was q target for lightning once too . many times and, shortly before 1870, 1t was split so that a large limb fell \ over against tho house and, for safety, the old giant was cut down."
 A few feet north of the spot where the stump of the big elm tree IS, .hcre stands a small Norway maple rec, which was planted afout two years ago by the late M iss Katherine s M North 1t was only through the @ greatest of difficulty that the tree 4 chopncrs avoided knocking this down
 The people of Berlin are very < proud of the trees which do 50 much for the beautiication of the ridge"
