New Train by Way of Putnam, Be- ginning June 1st. Lacking only the official announce- ment, i has been decided, it is learn- ed, to_put on another express train from Waterbury to Boston, via Put- nam, and return, the train to begin running June 1. Going east, this train will leave Put- nam at 10.16 &. m. just a few minutes ahead of the eastbound local. and will run into Boston on the same fast schedule as is maintained by the other express_trains, about an hour and a balf. Westbound, the train is to leave Boston at 5.50 p. m., reaching Putnam at 714 p. m., only an hour and twen- ty-four minutes on the road. This new train will probably be run the whole year and is to be provided to care for, especially, Waterbury and Hartforq through traffic with Boston. It Is to be made up of four cars, one | of which will be a parlor car. This train is certain io0 be a decided favor- ite with business men in Putnam and surrounding towns, for it will give a fast service in and out of Boston at hours when, under the present train service, only local trains are available. Tt was reported here Tuesday that the Alr line special, the summer train from Fitchburg to New York via Wor cester, Putnam and Willimantic, will probably not be run this summer be- cause of the fact that repairs are being made to the viaducts on the line be- tween Willimantic ang New Haven. FIREMAN'S SHOCKING DEATH. F. H. Conrady of Rookvills Either Jumped or Was Hurled from Cab When Boller Flue Blew Out. F. H. Conrady. 27, fireman, met a shocking death just before midnight Monday as the result of the blowing | out of a flue of the boiler of locomo- tive No. 298, while a heavy west- | bound freight train was being hauled | up the grade just west of Pomfret | station. Engineer L. A Wiggins, | Needham, Mass., was somewhat scald. ed by the escaping steam and burned by live coals from the firebox, but did not suffer serious injuries. Conrady was either hurled from the cab by the force of the explosion or jumped to save himself from being | burned and scalded—just what did | happen after the explosion probably never will be known—but his body, crushed and mangled, was later found | by the train crew. | The fireman’s skull was crushed, | both legs had been cut off, as had one You get a very faint idea of the beauty, the appetizing look, of a Cleve- land Baking Powder biscuit from the above illustration.

NEW YORK forced to leave hurriedly on account of the rapidly approaching train, is s matter that had not been positive- 1y determined up to Tuesday evening. Rounding a ourve at good speed, the engineer of the train saw the ob- struction on the track and tried to stop his train before hitting it, but was unsuccessful in so doing. The impact did not derall the locomotive nor cause any damage to speak of, but the train was brought to & stop and then back- ed up that an investigation might be made, the engineer at first being of the opinion that he had bit & man. Certain circumstances the inveati- gation of Tuesday shows, tend to in- dicate that the tie stealing theory men- tioned is entitled to consuderation, but there is not enough evidence to show conclusively that there was no de- liberate attempt at wrecking the train. The case is to receive further and careful attention. News in General.

Letters all BALTIC No More Sewer Connections With Beaver Brook—Two Plans for Sewer Construction Proposed—To Be De- cided at Public Mesting Friday Evening. Some time ago the question of put- ting a sewer through the streets on which are situated the houses whose sewers empty into Beaver brook was raised Many of the principal resi- dences of the town have their sewer pipes connected with this river and it was thought that it was endangering the health of the people who lived by the riverside. When the brook is at high water the stream is sufficient to carry off all deposits, but frequently only’ a small rivulet flows through it, and a bad odor is given off. Now the sewerage question has been ‘brought forcibly before the property holders. Injunctions were recently gerved on them notifying them that no sewer could hereafter empty into Beaver brook and summoning them to appear in court to answer why they Should not have a through sewer pipe onnected.
