The train, the rear of which was run into by the engines, was bound east from Poughkeepsie over the Midland aisap; division of the New Haven mystem to | Boston. The train left Hartford about 2 o'clock and reached Bolton about forty minutes later. Just after passing the station a coupling knuckle on the first car of the train broke and the engine went ahead, leaving the train standing on the tracks. The engineer and fireman, Howarth and Hibbard, Conductor Sexton, and the car repair- or. Flanaigan, went to repair the break d were being watched by Keegan, who had been loading cars with wood at the statfon. Struck by Two Engines Running Light. The men were all standing in front the car with the broken coupling when the two engines, coupled togeth- er and runming light, crashed into the rear of the train, shunting the cars onto the five men. Howarth and Kee- n were run over and instantly killed. Sexton and Flannigan were thrown to one side, with their legs and Sexton's right arm under the wheels, while Hib- bard landed to one side with his left arm on the rafl. Sexton and Flanni- gan were unconsclous when picked up and taken to St. Joseph's hospital in Willimantic, whers up to a late hour tonight they were still in the same condition. Sexton's legs were crushed and practically severed from his body, and his right hand cut off above the wrist. It is aiso believed that he is suffering from internal injuries, and }is chances of recovery are very small. Flannigan's right leg was crushed, and on his arrival at the hospital it was amputated. His chances of recovery are bellaved to be slight.

Signals Gave Engines a Clear Track. ‘When the two engines struck the rear car of the passenger train the platform and back of the coach were smashed in. Fortunately the car was unoccupied or there would probably have been greater los sof life. The crew of the engines say that the signal at the tower to the west of the station, which shonld have been - set against them, in view of the passenger train being stalled east of the station, were not in that position, and gave them a clear track. None of the engine crew were injured. The operator at the signal tower, whose name is thaught to be Harry E. Dickson, has been em- ployed there but a hort time, and as he disappeared immediately after the accident his version of it could not be ascertained. Willimantic Physicians Hurried to the Wreck. As soon as possible after the acci- dent word was sent to Willimantic, and a special train with physicians was sent out. here the injured were placed on board and taken to Willimantic. Frank Kromer of Norwich Seriously Hurt. the engines struck the rear When |of the passenger train the occupants of the coaches were thrown from their seats and many of them badly bruised angd injured. Among the most serious- 1y injured was Frank Kromer of Nor- wich, who was'cut on the read and neck’ by flying glass and his right kneepan imjured. His wounds were dressed at Willimantic and he was sent home. A man by the name of Bennett, who said his home was in Providence, had his right side badly bruised and may have a broken rib. He was able however, to continue to his home. SIGNALMAN SURRENDERS To Hartford Police—Nervous and on Verge of Collapse—in Employ of Road But Three Days. Hartfordfi, Conn., Oct. 6 —Harry B. Dickson, whose failure to set the signal in the tower at the Bolton station, it is alleged, allowed the two engines run- ning light to crash into the rear of a pasenger train, causing the death of two and the injury of five others, and who after the wreck could not be ‘found, gave himself up to the local police tonight. He would not talk con- cerning the wreck, but said that he had no intention of running away and evading responsibility, but said he was afraid that if he remained he would be attacked by the trainmen or pas- sengers. ‘When Dickson entered the police sta- tion he was so nervous that he stemed about to collapse, but managed to ask if he was wanted. No complaint had been lodged agaiust him, but on noti- fving Coroner Robert H. Fisk of Tol- land county that he had given himself up, the police were asked to keep him until morning, when he will be taken in charge by the coroner. Dickson says he is 23 years old and that his home ig in Peoria, Ill. He has been _east but a short time, he said, and had been in the employ of the road but three days.

INTERNATIONAL PRISON CONGRESS AT WASHINGTON.

The resolutions declared that the in- determinate sentence should be ap- plisd to the mentally and morally de- fective and that it also should be ap- plied ‘as an important part of the re- formatory system to criminals, partic- ularly young delinguents, who require reformation and whose offenses are due mainly to circumstances of an in- dividual charactar.” It was declared to be advisable to fix the maximum duration of the sen- tence only during such a period as it might be necessary because of the nov- elty of the institution and lack of ex- perience with it. GRAFT MONEY FOR “GOOD WORK” PERFORMED Announcement of Hand-to-Hand Graft in New York Investigation. New York, Oct. 6.—The tedium of today's sessions of the legislative graft ‘investigating committee. marked by the failure of witness after witness to remember details® sought by the pro- bers, was relieved today by the frank announcement of hand to hand graft of $6,000 in cash by the legislative agent of the Lyons, N. Y., Sugar Re- fining company to former Senator John Raines and former Assembly Jean L. Burnett, both now dead. H. F. Zimmerlen, the man who passed the money, made no attempt to soften the act -under the euphem- ism of a campaign contribution, but described is as an unconditional gift made “in recognition of good work in securing the passage of legislation beneficial to the Lyons Sugar Refining company.” In addition to the 36,000 given to Raines and Burnett, Zimmerlen said he had passed $300 to Charles H. Betts, then chief clerk of the revision de- partment of the assembly, for his “good work.” Half of the money handed to Burnet, the witness said, was to be used as the latter “saw fit” in recompensing other HEAVIEST RAINFALL IN FORTY YEARS.
