Two Deaths From Waterbury Wreck Reported
Waterbury March 4 Frederick I Armstrong of Ruthersord NM died after head on collision between a crowded trolley bound for New Haven and a work train near Bimmit on the New Haven and Waterbury line. This follows the death of W F Harper of Waterbury last Saturday. Deputy Coroner Makepeace nears completion of inquiry with a few witnesses remaining to be examined. Engineered tests by Elwell and Makepeace showed the block signal system worked and the red light signals were unaffected by the heavy train. The company says it will not withhold information and notes the motorman, arrested at the coroner's request and now out on bail, is no longer employed.

NO RECOGNITION FOR TEETER AFTER FOUR YEARS OF SERVICE
Friends of George Teeter question why a four year substitute fireman who answered alarms without pay when others were absent did not receive permanent appointment. Teeter, son in law of veteran firefighter Michael Bly, served with Navy training and had kept his connection to the engine force. He refused lucrative positions to remain with the department, missing only one alarm in four years due to a tower bell failure.
