. No progress has been made relative
to the state prison investigation. Sen-
ator Holcomb wanted a special com-

quently the Senate chairman of that
committee resigned, and Senator Jones
was appointed to succeed him. When
the matter was presented to the House,
Judge Wood moved that it be laid on
the table, because the newly organized
committee had not taken any action on
it. Mr. Gunn called for a yea and nay
vote and the matter was tabled by a
vote of 110 to 44.

port biennial election bill, and it will

A bill ordering the display of the
American flag on public school build-
ings was submitted to the House. The
measure ordered selectmen to procure
the 'national emblem, and cause it to

ler of Oxford ventured to remind his
colleagues of the expense, but he was
,3 pad on uncremoniously,and the bill
cut through with a rush.
The labor committee reported ad-
versely on a bill prohibiting the em-
ployment of women and children after
9 p. m. and it was rejected.
There was disagreeing action between
the House and Senate over the railroad
bill for the transportation of members,

ney’s retaining his seat. i

HORRIBLY' MANGLED. ,
Another Victim Of the Railroad
Juggernaut.
The Body Not Yet identified.
Last evening the baggage masters at
the Souh Norwalk depot were informed
by a tramp that he had seen a. man
struck by the cars near the second
bridge at Five Mile River and instant-
ly killed. The tramp said that he was
going down the track when he noticed
theother man coming up. The next
he aaw was the train coming along at a
high rate of speed and strike the man
who did not seem to hear the approach-
ing train or didnot care. The tramp
came back to the South N orwalk depot
and informed the men here and James
Corson, ~Henry Jennings and Nelson
Tuttle armed with a stretcher and ac.
companied by Dr. Burke _boarded tge
7:56 train fer Five Mile River. -
Arriving at the scene of the accident, I
a horrible sight met their gaze. For a
distance of neafly two hundred feet,
pieces of human flesh "were strewu
along the tracks. An arm was found in
one place and a leg in another and
pieces of bone, bits of clothing and
flesh were picked up and placed on the
stretcher. The man had evidently been
.run over by other trains after the 7.15
which was the first one to strike him.
The shapeless bundle of humanity was
put aboard a freight train and brought
to the South Norwalk depot. The head
was severed from the body and was
about the only large part of the body
remaining. N 0 one recognized the dead
man, but it is supposed that he was
some tramp or perhaps a foreign la-
borer going to his home in one of the
small. towns below. Dr. Burke or-
dered the remains removed and Un-
dertaker Gregory took care of them.
