Charles A. Rogers, a painter of Hartford, was struck by a falling flagpole when he was about to board a trolley car in Hflrt(ordi and was fatally injured. Miss Norah Ryan, 60, of Hartford, was struck by an automobile during the storm in Hartford and suffered a fractured skull. A fifty mile an hour gale swept over the state, carrying down limbs of trees and disrupting traffic. Many telephones were reported out of commission. | Tree Falls on Auto 1 A tree fell on a m g automo- bile on the Hartford-Berlin turn- pike, but the occupants of the car, Charles and Harry Litman, father wnd son, of Westerly, R. 1., escaped with bruised shoulders.

Stubbins, Birmingham, Ala., neither seriously. That more persons were not in- jured was attributed to the make- up of the train which was all of steel coaches. Ambulances took the injured pas- sengers and porters to Nashville. Peculiar Accident Unofficially it was said that when the train struck the automobile, it knocked the motor against a switch handle, opening the frog which immediately resulted in de- ralling the train.
