Tuesday morning northbound train, No. 704, known as the milk train, ran into an open switch just south of the statlon at Central Village.

Word was sent to Putnam for another enzine and at 8.15 o'clock the train proceeded to Worcester, just an hour and one-half late. This 2ngine made the run from Putnam to Central Village in fourteen minutes—a _distance of nearly fifteen miles. At 9.30 the wrecker and steam derrick from Midway came and pulled the locomotive upon the rails. Little damage was done to it. Just how the switch became open was unknown Tuesday. This early car stays on the switch over night at the station and had proceeded toward Norwich when the train ran into the switch. The train could not slacken its speed be- cause of the slippery conditioniof the rafls. Trainmen spoke of the fact that had the train been ithe boat freight, which usually precedes the milk train, things would have been much worse. This is a b y express freight and would probably have torn through the station before it could be stopped. This Plainfield to leave some cars and had permitted the passengor train to go ahead.

Many have read with interest the ! circular issued by the Southern New England Telephone company in tho new directories, setting forth their! idea of most effectively co-operating with their patrons in case of fire calis by telephone. The opening clause says that in order to sccure all possi- ble accuracy and despateh In reporting fires By telephone, each subscriber is earnestly requested to familiarize him- self with the telephone number thet should properly be called in case of fire, insiead of depending solely upon e call for the fire department.

Jewett City has had three runuways in two da: Saturday morning the horse on the coal team owned by Chapman & Tripp became frightened while on the Heights and rtan down Main street. When he turned the cor- ner of Soule street the wagon struck a stone post in front of Daniel Gag- non's property and snapped it off short. The horse ran to the coal yard, where he was stopped. Meonday a big gasoline truck from Norwich came to Jewett City and was the cause of considerable commotion. In the morning a horse belonging to Otis Horton was frightened and ran up Main street at nothing less than a 2.10 clip. Mr. Horton attempted to reach the animal before he stanted, and did a remarkable acrobatic per- formance on the sidewalk. ‘No serious demage was done, excepting the scat- tering of a few dozen eggs down Tra- ey avenue, In the afternoon the coal horseagain became frightened on North Main street, and collided with the truck from Norwich, which this time proved too staunch an obstacle, and the wag- on was badly smashed.
