Stevenson, Conn.,, Oct. 1.—The wrecking of a New York, New Haven and Hartford railroad freight train a short distance from this station dur. ing the storm last night cost one life and caused much delay. The man killed was ‘Andrew Mangani of Shel- ton, a section employe, who had been summoned to aid in clearing up the wreck. It is supposed that a gust of wind caused him to lose his balance as he was crossing a trestle near the wreck. His lifeless body was found in the roadway 20 feet beneath the trestle. The derailing of 14 cars and the tearing up of 500 ties blocked the ine between Botsford and Shelton throughout the night and caused much delay to freizht traffic. The cars were little damaged. Wrecking crews from New Haven and Water- bury succeeded in clearing one track early today and the other about noon. A broken car wheel caused the wreck. | 25 YEARS AT STANLEY WEKS.
