The freight situation in Berlin is somewhat improved this morning due 1o the lifting of the embargo on New York and Brooklyn. The only con- cern in town that is shipping to New York the American Paper Goods. The other concerns ship considerable “material to intermediate points in nbrmal times that they do not benefit much with the present let up. Shipments can not be made to any point in this state and until the entire embargo is taken off not much ship- ping will be done. One of the engines on the way freight from Cedar Hill came into the station this morning in a crippled condition but had to stay on duty. None of the engines passing through here have been in a repair shop since the inception of the strike so that it is only a matter of. time fore they will have to be side tracked for repai Even if the| strike-should let up tomorrow condi- tions will be bad for at least a week | ashit will take that long to get the engines back .in condition for regular duty Passenger traffic tod was the lightest it has been since the begin- ning of the strike. It would seem that the travel would be heavy on the fe trains that are running, but scarcely a dozen persons left here train, Augomobile traffic is extremely heavy, | however, indicating that people arc taking no chances with the service.

In some unaccountable manner the car swung over the embankment and plunged down the side. It was mirac- ulous that the car did not turn turtle. When the driver gained control of the car he was in an oat field with no way of getting out except to go gack up the embankment or to run through the oats. Several atiempts to get up the bank failed, so the driver swung the car around and tore through the field of oats at a 30 mile clip so that the owner could not catch him. Who the driver was is unknown though a number watched his frantic efforts to get up the bank. The field of oats was destroved and there is no one to pay the damage. Realty T Claude W.
