appear that the trade there were afraid
of the American markets over Sunday,
so buying freely, found fewer offers,
closing their market firm and higher.
Here, however, the market showed
that the heavy profit taking of the
week, together with the hedges sold
against the old cotton in the south now
moving to market had passed into
weaker hands who were quite so con-
fident as earlier in the week. This con-
dition of the market led to a slow de-
cline closing at about the low point
in such a condition, however. that a
rally might we'll be in order tomorrow

Twenty-two Loaded Cars on Down Grade Provide Bad Tangle-En- gineer and Fireman of Second Leap for Iife-Wrecking Train Put Out of C. nmiSSiOn.
Put Out of C. nmisSion.

Waterbury, May a0.-In an effort his engine and nine cars, Fireman J. F. Grimes was caught and fatally hurt early today. The freight in trouble one mile west of Allerton Farms on the line between Danbury and Waterbury, was O. A. 7, made up of a combination of extra fre1ghts 161 and 329, east bound from May brook, N. Y., to Hartford, with two engines. The truck of engine 161 and nine cars were derailed from cause as yet undetermined, and the track torn up for 300 feet. All the cars save three remained upright
 Fireman Crimes, who was crushed, died an hour later and the body was taken to Naugatuck to be viewed by the medical examiner. He lived at "A Fourth street, Waterbury.
 The freight train was heavy one and engine 329 was helping engine 161 over the grades.
 Runs Half Mile Before Stopping.
 The peculiar feature of the derail- pent was that thetrain ran seventy rail lengths, or about half mile, be- fore it was brought to a stop by the piling up of the cars and the tender of Engineer Fred Booths engine Apparently the primary cause of the derailnent was the taking of switch for a siding by the first engine while the second engine and cars held to the main iron.$s The first engine then ran on the ties for half a mile until it struck the points of another switch. This caused the tender trucks to be thrown crossways and the cars immediately following were sent zig-zag across the rails. The wreck was in a rock-cut and at the Alerton Farms switch. Grimes Jumped as the tender went over but was caught and had his leg cut off. Engineer Booth and e NFlagman Butcher stayed in the cab and were rot hurt The engineer and fireman of the second engine jumped safely.
 There were&lwentytwo loaded cars in the string. The grade falls away into Waterbury. The single track was badly torn up and may not be ready for use again until tomor- row.
 The Waterbury wrecker was dis abled and wreckers had to be called from East Hartford and New Haven.
 Fireman Grimes had been on the engine for six months. His mother and three brothers live here.
