White River Railroad Was
Blocked by Derailment
Near Bethel
NO ONE WAS HURT
IN THE ACCIDENT
The Passengers Are Being
Transferred Past the
Blockade

Bethel, April 1.-The White River
railroad had its turn with traffic trou-
bles yesterday when one of the cars
of an eastbound freight train laid a
rail over on its side, due to partially
decayed ties, thereby opening the way
for the derailment of the three follow
ing cars. All but one of the derailed
cars were heavily loaded, perhaps over
loaded, with Rochester tale and the
derailed cars were the four directly
following the engine, which fortunate
ly was stopped before other cars had
been pulled off the iron. The time Of
the deraiment was early in the fore
noon and the place was the Morse
meadow, three miles from the Bethel
terminal The Stanley steamer pas
senger car, following the freight, trans
ferred its rather small group of pas
sengers, eight or ten, TO the cab OF the
freight engine and reached Bethel in
time to connect with the southbound
Boston mail train.
IHeItdIteT tHfouPH the uhy Pd-aeh-
gers were transferred, the Stanley
steamer running back and forth from
the scene of the wreck to Rochester
and the Bethel end of the route being
covered by the aforesaid freight en-
CINE and box car, which also served
for mail, baggage and express. Prog
ress in reopening the line for traffic
was slow yesterday and several days
may be required for the process, as
the road has no wrecking apparatus
and the use of jack screws and crow
bars with a locomotive for more power
is a laborious method of
dealing with a wreck of so large pro-
portions The track for several car
lengths is badly broken up. At least
one of the ears of tale must be reload
I'd, the car being partly wrecked.

Is suicide among women on the
increase in Great Britain as il is in
the United states?
Medical experts in the United
States are of the opinion that mar
riage. in its altered conditions, is
one OF the causes OF the rise, ii be-
ing necessary for woman to re-
tain her husbands affection by
something more advanced than
love.
Marriage. they say, in becoming
A business: and II. in addition TO
having to solve many problems in
order to preserve happy marital re-
lations. a woman goes in for
business career herself, she suffers
a further strain on her resourccsc
and breaks down under II in many
cases.
The latest available statistics as
to suicide in Great Britain are for
the year 1918. when there was an
increase for both sexes, but
especially among women. over the
unusually low figures for the pre-
ceding year.
Strangely enough the rise was
most marked in the fourth quarter.
during the time of general rcjoic-
ing over the termination or the
war. This was opposed to the eN.
pericnce of the past decade. the
fourth quarter of the year having
been the lightcst in each case.
AS n reason for this increase OF
suicide among women 1t was suS-
Gcsted that about that time many
wives were greatly disturbed at
the prospect Of their husbands re-
turning and discovering that they
had been unfaithfui in their
absence.
