21 Dead, 40 Hurt In Railroad Wreck Accident Occurred During a Fog Near | New Haven, Conn.—Several Victims | From Philadelphia. | Twenty-one persons lost their lives | and forty were injured i White Mountain express, bound for | New York, crashed into the rear end | of the second section of the Bar Har-| bor limited, bearing sojourners from | Maine summer resorts. The wreck oe curred on the New Haven railroad | just outside New Haven, Conn. Failure to see a block signal veiled ! in a thick fog is given as the cause | of the accident by Engineer A. B.| Miller, who says that as soon as he] realized the danger he did all re could to stop the train. The brakes would not hold on the wet track and the train, running down grade, ploughed its way through two wooden Pullman cars, splintered them to kindling and killed or wounded most of the sleeping passengers in their berths. The bodies of most of the victims were mangled. | A party of boy campers, sixty-five in | number, returning from “Camp Cob- bossee,” at Monmouth, Me. were in a Pullman "car which was overturned. Two of these boys, William Altschul, of Norfolk, Va. and Albert Green, of | New York, were Killed. The list of dead is as follows: | Miss Maria Stockton Bullitt, Miss Harriet Biddle, S. Crozer Fox, Robert M. Yahn, Daniel N. MecQuillen, Miss | Emily K. Davis, all of Philadelphia. William Altschul, Norfolk, Va. Harold Avery, New York. Frank Butler, Scranton, Pa. Albert Green, New York. R. A. Hotchkiss, New Haven, Conn. | Philo Hotchkiss, brother of R. A. Hotchkiss. ! Harry Imar, a Japanese, New York. | H. F. Martin, Bryn Mawr, Pa. | Miss Agnes White, Boston. Mary Jane (no last name), | | Hartford, Conn. Margaret Armstrong, Washington. Albert Freed, New York. George Koga, New York. The bodies of some of the dead were! found fifty feet away in the fields. Some of the dead and injured were | hurried to New Haven, Walilngford and Meriden. Many of them were tak-| en in trolley cars. i Both trains were heavily laden with: returning excursionists. They were; running behind time through the) heavy fog. i The Bar Harbor limited Lad stopped in the block, but the last car of the! long train was just on the edge of the| block limits. The signals had cleared and the express had gotten under a. slight headway when the White Moun- | tain express came along. The engineer of the latter was unable to stop his locomotive and crashed completely through two of the sleepers on the Bar Harbor train and knocked the next! sleeper over the embankment. The shock of the collision was so. terrific that linen and bed clothing from the berths in the sleepers was swept out of the broken windows and carried to the telegraph wires and | poles nearby, where it still hung when the wrecking trains arrived. The White Mountain express was scarcely scratched by the collision. It proceeded on its way after a few hours delay. i All the passengers were in their berths and in their night clothes, mak: ing identification of the dead difficult. | The engineer of the White Mountain express stuck to his post until the last moment and was only slightly hurt. The two sleepers which were crushed were a mass of splinters a few min-! utes after the accident. The locomotive | ran on top of the wreckage and re | mained almost upright for a consider- able time, The collision occurred on a straight stretch of track, but the fog was very dense at the time. i i —— | Sexton Commits Suicide In Church, | John Boyd, fifty-eight years oid, sex- | ton of the Presbyterian church ini Flemington, N. J., committed suicide by inhaling illuminating gas in the kitchen connected with the church. Boyd went to the church, and with- out arranging the auditorium for the Sunday services, went to the kitchen, where he made preparations to end his life. He placed towels in the cracks of the doors leading into the lecture room of the church. Placing a tube into his mouth, he attached it to a gas jet and lay upon the floor to await death. When he friled to return home his daughter began a search, which result ed in finding his body in the gas filled room by Professor Norman Landis, organist of the church. Drops From Fast Train. J. C. Childs, a university professor now residing in Lakewood, N. J. is in a serious condition at the Mercy hospital in Baltimore, Md., as the re- sult of falling or jumping from a fifty- mile-an-hour train near Perryman, Md. Professor Childs was picked up three-quarters of an hour after the train had passed. He was delirious and mumbled something about being dazed and unnerved. The railroad officials are trying to learn how Professor Childs came to leave the train, Shot Dead at Rifle Match, Francisco Zegaira Ballon, a member of the Peruvian team taking part in the international rifle tournament at Camp Perry, Ohio, was instantly killed in his tent by a team mate, Julian BE. Zegaria. Zegaira came in from the range, and in his practice aiming snapped his rifle. It proved to be loaded. The bul- let went through the tent pole, pierced Ballon’s neck, tore through the tent and sped on across range. | Service when the day 8 p. m., 9% | With the Churches of the County.

The gypsies that passed through this place last | week raised quite a stir, as they were the rough: | est looking crowd that the people of this commu- nity have ever seen; and besides] they were a very undesirable set, as a few citizens can tell.
