The Austrian sub- marine which overhauled her after a fong. stern chase, gave the corhmand- er a brief respite to permit the re- mioval of passengers but the inde- périble panic which began among the immigrants on boards soon as the underwater craft was sighted was responsible for the loss of many lives. In a mad rush for safety, men, wWo- men and children overwhelmed the Poats, several of which were over- fusned before they could be lowered. Many of the occupants fell into the gpea and were drowned.

Winsted, Nov. 11.—The wreckage from last night's colilsion of an east bound Poughkeepsie freight with the | OWl freight, bound rromn here to Bridgeport, was cleared away this forenoon so that the express for New York was only delayed twenty min- utes, and trains for Hartford over the Central New England road left on time. George Stroker. a brake- man on the Owl and John J. Shana- han, a fireman, both of Waterbury, had narrow escapes from injury. Stroker had been asleep in the Owl's caboose and upon being awakened by shouts of Conductor Harry Hawkins, had just time enough to jump- The caboose was partially demolished. Shanahan was asleep in a combination smoking and baggage car which was sidetracked opposite the point of the collision of the extra freight with the Owl train. A box car was knocked over against the smoker and eighteen windows and their steel frames were crushed in. Shanahan awoke when the crash came and swung himself clear of the car- Differences of opinion was held to- day as to the cause of the collision. Men on the extra freight claim that the Owl did not have a flagman out. while those on the Owl claim that the extra was under proper control when it approached the junction of the two lines. They maintain that had it been proceeding slowly it would not have hit tiie rear end of the Owl. TO MAKE IT MERRY XMAS.. Elks To Carry Out Past Years Customs In Befriending The Poor.

(Norwich Bulletin) Down in Pennsylvania there is thg same aversion to grade crossing that there is in other states, and th same demand for their elimination but as it s everywhere else, suc work coste moiey and it is possibl to do only a certain amount of cach year. This means that there § always something waiting to besdon in this line and with that in min it is not surprising that the publj service commission of that state hi turned down ‘the petition for th right to build another spur trac across & much used highway grade. When a state is working for th abolishing of grade crossings, an progress is aggravatingly slow b cause of the great amount of Wor that is Involved, it is a poor poli { to continue to add to the number dangerous crossings. Little s gained by removing those in one sed tion of the state and creating othe | which will be just dangerous not more so in another locality. If grade crossings are goingeio abolished, it is necessary to block t building of new ones, for if favol are going to be extended in one i stance they must be rendered, in fairness, in others, and once such policy is begun there is no telll where it will end.
