'Bridgeport Conn'Twelve bodies in
the morgue forty-four injured in the
hospital and a mountain of junk at the
foot of a twenty-foot embankment at
the Western end of the city tell the
tale of the worst wreck In firo-eight
years' history of the New York New
Haven Hartford railroad Although
the accident happened to the Federal
express bound from Washington to
Boston just before dawn and the core
oner's office has been busy all day an
awering telephone and telegraphic
queries from all parts of the country
four of the dead tvo men and two
women remain unidentified
With one or two exceptions all those
In the hospitals are expected to re-
cover When the express leaped the em-
bankment at a cross over switch a day
Tech next the baggage car was caught
at the bottom of the heap and smashed
Into matehwood Not a person inside
escaped death or serious injury
The live heavier Pullmans that
trashed down after it held together
and the sleeping inside although bad-
ly shaken suffered no worse injuries
than broken bones and bruises
Automatic signals protected the
cross over" which the express had
to take to enable it to stop at the sta-
tionhere and the rules of the line
prescribed a speed at this point of not
tuore than fifteen miles an hour Stor-
ies that the engineer was a new man
not accustomed to a train of such im-
poitance and that the towerman was
riot at his post were denied by the com-
pany in official statements The fact
remains however that when the ex-
press darted across the trestle where
the switch is located it was running
nearly sixty miles an hour When it
struck the "cross over" the engine
'eaped the rails dragging all but three
Pt its cars along

There was going to be a picnic that
morning says the Cleveland Plain
Dealer The little boy prayed before
he retired at night that it might be
a fine day And when he looked out
of the window at the peep of dawn it
was raining
In the evening the little boy
wouldn't say his prayers "Mamma"
he asked as he was going to bed
"where do they sell idols? I want to
get one to worship"
