OVER TWENTY INJURED IN LOCAL RAILROAD YARDS Wrong Track Light Engine, on the Strikes Air Line Trair. —Miss Annie Zembell ously Hurt.

The aceident occurred about Oppo- site the Nipnet Cance Club on the Air Line division of the New Haven Yoad. A light engine, the one that brought in a train from Providence, in charge of Enaineer Willlam Taft and Fireman James Cless, struck the Air Line train_which was in charge of Engineer Charles Bennett and Fireman E. T. Grifith. The Air Line frain was about haif an hour late and was going at a fair rate, aithoush starting to siow down for the Bridge street crossing. d The light engine had no right on $hat track, as the Air Line train was expected any minute. When the en- gines collided. the men on the light engine jumped and escaped inju The fireman of the Air Line train was slightly bruised. Word was sent to the hospital and to doctors. The _switching engine took a coach to the site of the acci- dent and carried the injured to the station where Doctors Parker and ONeil were waiting. They treated the least injured and sent the rest to the Bospital in the ambulance. When the enzines collided, the light ensine rebounded and was going to- wards the Bridge street crossing but was stopped by the fireman who had jumped from the cab a little before. He got into the cab, closed the throt tle and applied the brakes. The pilots of both enzines were badly smashed but the Air Line en- Fine received the greater damaze. The front trucks were pushed baci under the engine about two feet. The track was blocked for about six hours but trains were run around-the disabled engine. A wrecking train came down from East Hartford at two oclock and the engine was placed on the rails with the aid of the biz steam derrick. List of Injured.

Many of those not taken to the hos- pita] were treated at the office of Doctors Wilcox and Parker. Their injuries consisted chiefly of bruises, cuts and sprains. The person most seriously injured was Miss Zembel. She was standing in the aisle trying to get some lugzaze from the rack and was thrown over two or three seats. It was first thought that she was fatally injured. The men on the light engine had! no right on/the tracks, even though the man at the Pridge street crossing gave them the siznal to proceed as the Air Line train had the right of way. Trespassers Warned. While the wrecking train was put- ting the engine on the tracks, many who were going swimming were made aware of the fact that there is a law JAY M.

TR DANIELSON Members at Fort Terry—Wednes- day’s Heat ’Causes Closing of Big Plants—Wilbrum e, Rescued Once, Drowned at Blackstone—Safe at Candy Kitchen Picked of $108— Uniforms Issued to Home Guard. “We're all O. K.” was the cheering message that Captain F. E. Withee of *he Thirteenth company sent over the cable from Fort Terry, Plum Island, Wednesday afternoon. ‘We're working like the Old Harry, but everything is moving along nice- iy. This afternoon we are to take over two batteries and from now on we will devote a great deal of attention to ar- tillery work. “Some people think that No. 13 is unlucky, but it isn’t figuring out that way for us. We are being used splen- didly. The men are well housed and ‘taken care of and the officers have fine separate quarters.” “The federal physical examinations Fave been going forward this week 2nd we expect that they will be cora- pleted this afternoon. We have had e:ght rejections so far and there are twelve more doubtful cases, these to be given re-examinations.” Captain Withee did not mention the names of those rejected, not having the list in mind so that he could give it accurately at the time, but the men Wwho have been rejected are expected Fome here almost at once. Captain Withee said that the men of the Thirteenth were receiving issues of clothing and guns and that the company will be fully equipped by the end of the present week. They hawe buckled down to the intensive period of training that the government has mapped out for them and find great interest in the work. It has been mighty trying, so far as the weather is concerned, for the mem- bers of the “Thirteenth company this week, but they have founc relief in iathing, and the nights have made comfortable by the cool breezor trom the sound, whi these moonligh? nights, prese: a beautiful and peace- ful vista seeminzly little related to the men’s mission of war. Two of the members of the Thir- teenth company, Captain Withee men- tioned, are in the fort hospital. They are Chauncey House and Edwin Burka. Neither man is seriously ill, House's silment promising to develop into the mumps. The other members of the command are in fine fettle. though tired after each day's activities. Captain Withee hed when he was asked if he egun to study.

CURES EVEN COLD FEET. Wednesday’s Temperature Sc High It Resembles Draft Numbers—Most of the Big Plants Closed at Noon. » “Well, it's just 1181.” “Whew, youre n the thermométer: that's = Weil, there hain't mi difference in the size of th these day anyway, be they?” asked the man who gazed, ana the othor man was liguify- ing too fast to reply It was hot again in Danielson Wed- nesday—hotter than th hinges of Hades. Some cold blooded statistician, urperturbed by the heat, figured out that the net weight shrinkage of the people of Danielson was just 10,521 pounds, which allows just over two poinds to a person. That represents more than five tons of weight, or allowing an averaze of 150_pounds to & person, the equivalent of 70 persons entirely consumed. This i taken with the departure of gbe h company, has so reduced Danielsor’s chanc largest town in eastern Connecticut in the ‘very rear future that the popula- tion boomers are appaile As a hot air story the foregoing compares faverably with Wednesday™® temperatires. Geiting down to real facts, it was 118 desrees in the sun in this 0ld town Wednesday at the noon hour at Wilfred Puize’s place of busi- ness on Main street, and if the town never was more than balf baked, which no one has claimed, it is now. Even the boys who are suffering with cold feet over the prospective operation of the draft began to show signs of feeling comfortable. Over at Woodwa there is a more conservative and very reliable thermometer, the mercury ran the red ink mark up to an even hun- dred”at noon, exactly the same point tonched at noon the day before. Moss everybody took a look, and then went in and bought a drink. In its effect upon humanity the pro- longed siege of tropic heat was more s store, where pronounced. Mills began to be like ralls of the inferno as the morning advanced and, fearing the conse- Guences of keeping their employes at work, the heads of some of the organ- izations, thinking first of the welfare of their workers, ordered the plants closed at noon. Thousands of operatives here and hereabouts were released from their work in the mills. The Quinebaug, Wauregan, Danlelson Cotton compan: River Weaving and Whitestone Wors sted were among the plante that closed at noon. ' Durinz the morning fire hose was played on parts of the Quinebaug company’s biz plant on the West Side and about the grounds in an endeavor to kdep down the temperatura. Though it was mighty uncomfortable within the textile plants, no cases of pros- tratlon were reported. Reports of mills _closed on account of the heat came from all surrounding towns and villages. During the day hundreds of people visited Quinebaug lake to seek relief in its cooling waters and Wednesday evening and the late night found scores more bathing by the light of the moon. Hundreds slept in porch swings and on the grounds about their homes here Tuesday night and repeategl last night. WILBRUM PECHIE DROWNED.

A timid but cooling breeze that fluttered in from the south and east soon after four o'clock Wednesday, brought some relief from the blisto: ing heat that has made this week one long to be remembered. Relief is uscd here in the comparative sense, for e cooling process that seemed to be set- ting in was struggling against tempar- ature that was at the 100 mark on every one of @ fgore of thermometer: about the busin#.s section of the city Wednesday was the hardest of all the three hot days to endure, for hu- manity, weakened by the strain of working almost without “rest during the preceding 48 hours, was without the resisting qaulities of the earlier part.of the week. Hundreds told Wed- nesday the same story of sleepless night and of the difficulty of forcing exhusted bodies to follow the usual routine of daily toil. Scores of mill workers, tired out by the heat, failed to report for duiy ‘Wednesday morning and soon after- wards there came announcements of the closing of several big manufact- uring plants, that the operatives might make the most of any possibility of finding a cool place and getting some rest.

Young Pechie, who has been employ- ed in Woonsocket for the past two years, seems to have been dcstined to lose his life this week. Monday while bathing he narrowly escaped betag drowned and was rescued only with difficulty. Tuesday he was less for rate and gould not be gotten out in time to save his life, although the body was recovered within 15 minutes of tk time that it went down. THEFT OF $103.
