While the engine was leaving the main line and striking the siding it ran into five freight cars, four loaded with cotton bales, and one with wood. The cars weré forced forward and broke a telegraph pole at the cross- ing. The engine was in charge of En. gineer D. A. Doyle and the conductor was Joseph Ennis. Doyle remained in the cab until the engine came to a standstill, but he was all ready to Jjump, as it looked as though the en- gine was about to turn over. The accident completely blocked the main line of the Central Vermont. The second car behind the engine was a flat car and was broken in two. A portion of the engine was damaged at the front. It had just come out of the repair shop. ‘Wrecking trains were speedily sent from New London and Palmer and for the balance of the day and evening passengers had to be transferred around the wreck. All freight north and south was held up for many hours, It was about 11.30 o'clock Saturday evening before the track was cleared, although section hands were working upon the scene practically all day Sunday, getting things back into shape. Freight trains were running as usual Sunday in both directions and a/number of extras were sent over the road. This makes three wrecks that have occurred on the Central Vermont road within a few miles of this city in less than six months. Dwight F. Blish Has Slight Shock. Dwight F. Blish, who resides with his son, Frank D. Blish, on Maple avenue, sustained a shock Saturday morning. Friday evening Mr. Blish worked as usual at his store on Church street and retired at his accustomed hour, apparently as well as usual Saturday morning he called his. son and told him that he guessed that he had had a shock as he could not talk very well. Medical assistance was sought and it was reported Sunday that Mr. Blish was somewhat im- proved. It is expected that he will re- cover. Dr. Quinn to Address Medical Society.

The route from Danielson to Providence is a favorite one with lo- cal drivers and is by wayv of Attawau- gan_. Ballouville, Pineville and Che- pachet. This route is bad for the distance between Pineville and Che- Ipachet, but otherwise is very good, as it is made up of long stretches of state road. Died from Inhalin~ Coal Gas. The funeral of Mrs. Sara A. Rounds, who died at East Killingly as the re- sult of inhaling coal gas, was held from the church on the hill Saturday afternoon, Rev. W. B.

The Sunday evening service at the Baptist church was under the direc- tion of the members of the Men's brotherhood of the church. The song service was led by the men’s chorus, assisted by an orchestra, and there was special music. by the male quar- tette. Eternal Bonds of Brotherhood was the subject of Rev. D. J. Neily’s sermon at the meeting. Christmas Exercises. The Christmas services and music at the Congregational church will be on Sunday evening next. The Christ- mas exercises will be held on Satur- day evening, when there will be a Christmas tree at the church Salvation Army Kettle Needs Contri- butions. _ ‘Keep the pot boiling” reads the ign over the kettle that has been placed at the Armington corner of the Exchange building, and into which generous people are requested to drop some offering to provide Christmas dinners for the poor of Danielson. The thousands of mill operatives in Windham county village will get a double holiday beginning on Friday night, and this fact has caused hun- dreds to arrange to spend the two days with friends. NOT HOSEA GREENE. Reckless Autoist in Hartford Gave Name and Number of Dayville R. F. D. Carrier. Because somie autoist gave his name and number after running down and probably fatally injuring a pedestrian in Hartford on Tuesday evening of last week, Hosea Greene of Dayville has ben called upon by the authorities in i that city to make answer to the seri- ous charge. Whether the man gave Greenes nar did so with' malicious intent,whether he was an autoist from this section who knew Greene and selected him on the impulse of the movement to bear the blame of his own carelessness, is not known; but the facts are that Ho- sea Greene of Killingly was not’ in Hartford last Tuesday night, had nev- er been, in that city but once, and that five years ago, and on the day of the accident his auto had not been out of the town of Killingly. Again, Hosea Greene never worked for the Pratt & Whitney Co., of Harttford, as the auto driver who claimed to be Greene said he did. A part of the story published in a Hartford paper about the affair, is as foliows: “The accident last night was when an automobile owned and oper- ated by Hosea Greene of Killingly, who is connected with the Pratt & ‘Whitney Co,, struck Charles E. Gil- more of 24 Elm street, knocked him down, tore most of his clothes off and badly bruised and cut him. He was taken to the emergency hosnital at the police .station and was attended by Police Surgeon James C. Wilson. After he had been attended he entered a gomplaint against Mr. Greene. It is alleged that Mr. Greene refused to take his victim away in his automobile after the accident occurred and stop- ped only long enough to allow the spectators to get his name and num- ber.” Mr. Greene is a carrier on a rural free delivery route from the Dayville postoffice. In covering his route he uses a runabout. He went over his route as usual last Tuesday, return- ing to the Dayville office betweer 12.30 and 1 p. m. His runabout was put in the barn at about three o’'clock and re- mained there until Wednesday morn- ing. Because of the nature of Mr. Greene’s work it has been a very easy matter for him to prove that neither himself nor his machine was in Hart- ford at six o'clock last Tuesday night. FACTORY NO. 2 SOLD. Sound and Thriving Industry Insured for Industrial Place. A deal that may prove of great in- dustrial benefit to Danielson was clos ed Saturday, when factory No. 2 at Industrial place was sold to the Amer- ican Worsted Yarn company. This time the factory is sold “without any ifs or ands and the company that takes it over is said to be coming to Danielson without a dollar's’ worth of stock to offer for e to any one, It really looks like Danielson was com- the blg inves! gx:: at the nor:‘hm.ou of new company is glven out, but it is stated that oom- a::y to redeemr the mill oreclos- The fact that the yarn y has purchased the mill is vi :i - ing to the six mortgagees as will be able to adjust their claims on the property in a sati way.

The way in which the company is coming to Danielson is distinctly in their favor, and the assurance is given that the American Worsted Yarn company will be a valuable addition to the manufacturing concerns of this place. OBITUARY, { Mrs. Edward Dexter. Mrs. Margaret Clark Dexter, 72, widow of Edward Dexter, died at her home at the corner of Main and Rey- nolds street, Saturday morning at 10.15.

Appeal in Hoyle-Collins Case. The case of Inez Hoyle, executrix of the estate of her husband, R. Monroe Hoyle vs. Thomas Collins, tried befors Justice Richard Gorman, has been a; pealed to the superior court. The find- ing in the justice's court was in favor of the defendant. ‘The case grows out of the disputed ownership of about six tons of hay, which was cut and stored by Coellins ¢n the Hoyle farm, east of Putnam, last summer.
