NINE KILLED IN WRECK
New Haven Local Crashes Into Rear
Of Stalled Express With Disaster.
Caution Sign Overlooked.

Milford, Conn.-Disregard Of a eau
tionary signal probably was RESPONSE
Bile for the rear-end collision on the
New York, New Haven & Hartford
railroad e here, in which nine per
sons were killed and 80 injured, &C.
cording to Charles c. Elwell Of the
Connecticut public utilities commits
sion. A state investigation is under
way, but as four railroad employees,
the most important witnesses, were
killed. 1t will be difficult to fix re.
sponsibility.
Two passengers, a man and a wom-
an, were killed instantly when a local
train running 40 miles an hour crashed
into the rear Of the Greenfield express,
which was stalled by a broken air
hose. Two other passengers died In
hospitals.
The official theory Of the accident Is
that the locals engineer disregarded
or failed to see the c%autionary signal
and could not make his brakes hold
when he came In sight of the danger
signal.
George L. Tourtellette, a flagman
sent back from the stalled train, stood
in the path Of the approaching local,
frantically waving his red flag until
escape was impossible and vas killed
under the engine wheels.
Both trains were well filled with pas.
sengers. Among the injured were sew
era lYale graduates returning to New
York after attending alumni day at
New Haven. On the local were sew
eral members of the Sons OF the Amer.
lean Revolution en- route to Bridgeport
to attend a dinner.
A freight train passing on another
track as the express and local collided
complicated the wreck. Shattered
coaches hurled against the box cars
derailed them and the cars Of all three
trains were piled up. Passengers were
buried under heaps Of splintered wood
and twisted iron. The boiler Of the
locals locomotive exploded. The bod
les Of the engineman and fireman were
found underneath the wreck.

Call made a fast trip from City Island
to the Kennebec last week, being only
Al hours from the time of raising her
anchor at City Island until she landed
in the river and signalling for a tug
to take her to Hallowcll. This time
does not include the passage through
the Cape Cod canal, which was not
made under her own sail power. The
ocean tugs very seldom make the trip
in quicker time than that, which shows
what a smart schooner can do when
