Luther Mckay of 54 Madison street, Mrs. Helen Hunter. his sister, of the same address. and Mrs. C. l.. Sum- ner, housekeeper for MT. Mckay. are the only known New Britain persons who were in the railroad wreck of Saturday. which occurred about six miles outside of wallingford. The local people had spent a week at Asbury Park. N. J.. and were return ing to this city when the accident occurred. The train was a long one and the New 3ritainites could find room only in the third coach from the rear. There were i2 cars on the train. Ha e.
 When the accident occurred the persons in that coach suffered severe shaking up but were not otherwise injured. Mrs. Sumner suffered a nervous shock and for time it was thought her back was hurt but she was all right yesterday and this morning.
 -..-. Had Prcmonition.
 Aecofding to the story of Mrs. Sum ner she felt from the start of the trip
  happen" "I couldn't help noticing It." she said. and wondered at the way the train acted. It seemed to me that it jerked and jolted a great deal. I've travelled a great deal but never experienced such trip nor felt such a peculiar sensation" The fact that Mrs. Sumner did know something would happen is expressed in her words following the accident and 'termlng 1t that the final event of the trip had happened" She said the train moved slowly all the way. due probabIy to the number of coaches which the engine was pulling. When the crash came the local people saved themselves by bracing against the seat ahead Of them. Mir. Mckay got out and saw most of the horror of the affair but his sister and the house. keeper stayed at a safe distance as they had been warned that the boiler might explode at any moment. An at the scene of the wreck carried the local people to Meriden, where they took a trolley by way of Southington and Plainville to this city, where they arrived after o'clock.

at Nashville for the Louisville and Nashville railroad.
 The majority of the stock of this railroad is owned by the Atlantic Coast Line Co., Connecticut.
 Connecticut is the home of Senator Frank B. Brandegee. bitter opponent in Congress of woman suffrage.
 His Promises
 Speaker Walker last year spoke and voted for presidential and mum icipal suffrage in Tennessee. Five days before the legislature met he told members of the National woman's party in the presence of the writer. that he would support ratifying; that he had been for suffrage all his life; that there was no argument against women voting. He had promised the women to introduce the resolution for ratification.
 Walkers charge of heart seems to have come the day the legislature met.
 Raps Brandegec
 Miss Alice Paul, chairman of the National Woman's party. charges that Senator Brandegee is responsible; that he knew the women would not vote for him in November if they got the vote. and that he brought pressure upon Walker the Connecticut holding corporation and the l.. X N. railroad.
 After the Senate adopted the rat ifcation resolution by n vote of g ta {, a powerful lobby for the l., X N. railroad appeared in Nashville the following Sunday.
 Walkers Switch
 Although Walker had said he had convinced himself on Tennessee's legal right to ratify. he opposed the amend ment on constitutional grounds. And he sent the following telegram fo the North Carolina Legislature: Have amendment defeated overwhelmingly in the lower house. We are proud Of our mother state Of North Carolina God grant that she stand true to her glorious traditions and history"
 The wrRer heard Walker arguing In favor of ratification in the lobby Of the Hermitage hotel. before the L.. & N. lobby began Go work against the measure Walker lives at Nashville and will not seek reelection.
