Once the most powerful state in
Eastern Europe, the savior of the
culture Of the West, when the Tar
tars. and later the Turks, forced their
domination upon the greater portion
Of Europe, Poland was brought to ruin
by the lawlessness and egotism of her
mobiles, the "szlachta."
The crafty Empress of Russia, Cath
crime II, was quick to take advantage
of Poland. In 1896, due largely to her
Vaccinations. Poland ceased to exist
as an independent state.
Revolt followed revolt in the torn
members of Poland. especially the part
that fell under Russian rule. The last
attempt to regain independence was
made in 1863, after Napoleon III prac-
tically promised the Poles his assist

Interior of New Haven Ex-
press Sprayed by Blast
of Live Steam
Many Cut by Glass
Officials Are Unable to Ex-
plain Accident to I'm
portant Filler

NEW LONDON. COIN, June ga
score of people were injured, two
seriously, when compressed air valve
on a passing locomotive on the New
York, New Haven & Hartford Rail
way blew out tonight and sprayed
passengers aboard the Gilt-Edge En-
press with scalding steam and frag
ments Of shattered coach windows.
The accident happened when the two
trains ran past each other at Saybrook.
The locomotive responsible for the
mishap was hauling srain No. 105, and
was just leaving the station when the
express came by on the next track. The
valve was forced out under heavy
pressure, and the escaping steam ex-
ploded with roar and swept through
the windows of the three rcarward
Pullmans.
Passengers suddenly aroused by the
scalding blast left their berths in q
panic, and several are said to have
been kept from jumping from the
broken windows by the prompt action
of trainmen.
The express was stopped and ran
back to the station. and doctors were
summoned from the town and neigh
boring villages along the line. Two Of
the injured were taken to the Saybrook
Hospital. The others, after emergency
treatment, were carried on to New
London.
The two passengers treated at the
hospital were Miss Molly Murphy, Nor
wich, Conn, and Alden M. Farris, a
porter, Cambridge, Mass. Both were
badly scalded and suffered cuts from
broken glass.
Railroad officials here had no ex-
planation for the accident. The head
Of the broken valve weighed about a
pound, and was driven through two
windows of one of the sleepers, passing
out on the opposite side of the track.
