The Revere Disaster.
OF THE coRoNER's JURY.

NEhDiiI Ot lhE bpisoNIh JNN'.
The coroner's jury upon the recent
disaster at Revere, on the Eastern rail-
road, after being ia session until o'clock
Sunday morning, agreed upon verdict,
which was transmitted 10 Coroner For
saith and approved by him about 4
o'clock in the afternoon. The following
is the verdict -
That the persons then aud there lying
dead came to their death through col
lision of trains on the Eastern railroad,
at about 20 minutes past s o'clock on
the evening of the 26th day of August,
near the railroad station at Revere.
Now the jurors further find that the di-
rect cause of the collision was the negli-
gence of John S. Rowland, the conduct
or of the Beverly train upon which said
persons were killed, and Ashbel S. S.
Brown, the engineer of the colliding
Pullman train. The former failed to
notify the latter by signal or otherwise,
that his, the said Nowland's train, had
been DELAYED on the road after starting
about 20 minutes, and said Rowland
would have known, had he consulted his
watch, that the Pullman train was over
due by its regular running time when
| the said Nowland reached Revere. The
engineer of the Pullman train had an
unobstructed view of at least half of the
Beverly train as 1t stood at the depot at
Revere directly before the collision, and
could and should have seen the tail
lights of sand train in season to avoid
the collision.
The jury further find that Samuel o
Lunt, the Gepot-master at Boston, was
remiss in his duty in not correctly trans
hitting the order OF the superintendent
to the engineer of the Pullman train tC
look out for trains ahead, thus depriv-
ing the engineer of information thai
might have enabled him to avoid tht
Beverly train.
The more remote cause, but not les
certain, of the disaster, was the delay il
the time of starting the Beverly trair
from the depot in Boston, the delay be
ing occasioned by she gross inadequacy
of the rolling stock necessary for tn,
safe and timely transit Of passengers OF
said road.
The jury further find that the FIRE
quent delays in the time Of starting
occasioned by extra or excursion trains
delayed theruuning of the regular trains
, thus adding to the perils of railroad trav
ell by the necessity of Geographic com
munication with trains on the road. Th
need of improved appliances for tn
safety of trains, the risk from fires b.
the use of explosive burning fluids, tn
: want of siding at the Saugus branch
and the insutficiency of accommodation
have failed to receive that considera
: lion which their importance demanded
t We therefore find that the president an,
: directors of the Eastern railroad are
to great extent, responsible for the los
: of life Aforesaid.

The Vermont Historical Gazetteer.


We have had on our table for some
time, this valuable historical work of our
own State TO which Miss Hemenway has
given SO much time, labor and patience
The present volume embraces the histo
ry by towns of Franklin, Grand Isle,
Lamoille and Orange counties, including
also the natural history of Chittenden
county. 1t is very complete and includes
the civil, ecclesiastical, biographical and
military, and though naturally more in
teresting to that portion of the State to
which il is devoted, no Vermonter should
consider his library complete without this
work.
1t is published by Miss Abby Maria
Hemenway of Burlington, Vermont, at
which place, she can be addressed BY
agents and inquirers. The present vol
ume is embellished with several very ex
cellent engravings of distinguished Yer
monters of both civil and military fame
Miss Hemenway deserves great credit fol
the work she has undertaken, very la
borious task, and deserves well of tn,
people of our State.
Her next volume we believe will con

sor counties, and will be looked for will

and we trust will receive the liberal par
ronage whcih We are sure her work vii
deserve.

The September Elections.
Splendid REPUBLICAN rRIuMpHs.

SPLENDID REPUBLICAN TRIUMPHs.
At the State election held i'll Califor-
MIA in 1867, the democrats elected their
governor by 9546 majority, and at the
presidential elections in 1868, the great
popularity of Gen. Grant carried the
State by some 500 majority. Aside from
this California has for years been entire
ly in democratic hands. But at their
State election on Wednesday of lastweek
the republicans made a clean sweep, car
rying the State and electing their COVER
nor by more than 5000 majority. They
also have the legislature, which saves a
republ can U. S. Senator and elect all the
congressman, republican gain of two.
For the last four years Hon. A. A. Sar-
gent has been the only republican repre-
sentative in Congress from that State,
and is now reelected with solid repub-
lican delegation. San Francisco two
years ago gave 1868 democratic majority.
Now she gives 1000 republican majority.
Well done republicans of the golden

ALL HAIL MAINE! A GRAND REPUBLI-
CAN TRIUMPH
The annual State election occurred in
Maine last Monday. A few days before
the election the democrats sent out a
private circular to the leading magnates
of the party to get out their voters and
catch the republicans asleep, on account
of the prevailing political quiet 10 the
State. But the republicans were not
caught mapping. The results sweeping
republican victory, on both State ticket
and legislature.
The vote is several thousand larger
than last year, and the republican ma
jority is larger. Last year the republi-
cans had some 5000, this year it will
probably exceed 10000, In some Of
the larger towns where the republicans
had the benefit of the secret democratic
circular, the republican gains are large,
on full vote, while in the smaller towns
the vote is light and show small repub-
lican loss. The republican gain in Ban
gor is 938, 10 Lewiston 513, Waterviile,
40. In Augusta the republicans had a
majority of pa, three times as large as
ever before, except at the presidential
election of 1868.

Relative Ranks Of Cite.

The cities of New York, Philadel-
phis and Brooklyn maintain the same
relative rank as to population as
they did in 1860. There has been
considerable shifting Of places, how
ever, among those that now consti-
tute the remainder of the twenty
foremost cities Of The Union.
During the last decade, st. Louis
has ascended the scale from the
eighth to the fourth.
Chicago, in a similar proportion,
changes from the ninth to the fifth.
Baltimore, which in 1860 was the
fourth, retrogades to the sixth.
Boston pursues the same direction
from the fifth to the seventh. Gin
cinnati retires step from the seventh
to the eight.
New Orleans falls back from the
sixth to the ninth.
San Francisco taking noble leap,
vaults from the fifteenth to the tenth.
Buffalo lags behind from the tenth
to the eleventh.
Washington makes a stride from
the fourteenth to the twelfth.
Newark, New Jerseys thriving
metropolis, drops nevertheless, from
the eleventh to the thirteenth.
Louisville, twelfth in rank in 1860,
is now assigned to the fourteenth.
Cleveland, four steps forward,
mounts from the nineteeth to the
fifteenth.
Pittsburgh alone retains the same
relative rank now, as then, the six
teenth.
Jersey City rises from the twen-
tieth to the importance Of the seven
teenth.
Detroit recedes from the seven
teenth to the eighteenth.
Milwaukee from the eighteenth to
the nineteenth.
Albany, which was, ten years ago
the thirteenth, now takes the old
place of Jersey City as the twentieth.

Charles Prancis Adams.

Chas. Francis Adams has been
appointed as the representative of
the U. S. at the Geneva Conference.
The Philadelphia Ledger gives the
following concise biography of this
distinguished gentleman:
Charles F. Adams, son Of John
O. Adams, sixth President of the U.
s., was born in Boston, Aug. Is,
1909, and spent the greater part Of
his boyhood in st. Petersburg and
London, where his father filed the
post ofU. S. Minister. In 1925 he
graduated at Harvard University,
and then studied law, and was ad-
mitted to the bar in 1923. He
served for three years in the house
of Representatives, and for two
wears in the Senate of Massaehu-
setts. In 1S4S he was President Of
the Buffalo Free Soil Convention,
and was selected by that body as
candidate for Vice President, on the
ticket with Martin Van Buren. In
1858 he was elected a member OF
the House Of Representatives OF the
96tb Congress, and served as Chair
man of the Committee on Manufac
tnre. and as a member Of the special
committee of SO on the rebellious
| States. He was reelected to the
37th Congress, but did not take his
seat, having been appointed Minis
ter to England by Pres. Lincoln.
This position he held until 1868,
when he resigned and retired to pri-
vate life.

DON'T LEAVE THE FARM.

Come, boys, I've something to tell you,
Come near, would whisper it low
You are thinking of leaving the homestead
Don't be in a hurry to 60.
The city has many attracations,
But think of the vices and sins,
When once in the vortex of fashion,
How soon the course downward begins.
You talk of the mines of Australia,
They're wealthy in gold, without doubt,
But ahi there is gold on the farm, boys,
If you'll only shovel it out.
The mercantile life is a hazard,
The goods are first high, and then low,
Better risk the old farm awhile longer,
Don't be in hurry to go.
The great busy West has inducements,
And SO has the busiest mart,
But wealth is not made in a day, boys,
Don't be in hurry to startl
The bankers and brokers are wealthy,
They take in their thousands or so.
Ali think of the frauds and deceptions.
Don't be in hurry to gol
The farm is the safest and surest,
The orchards are loaded to-day,
You're free as the air Of the mountains,
And monarch of all you survey,
Better stay on the farm awhile longer,
Though profits come in rather slow,
Remember you have nothing TO risk, boys,
Don't be in a hurry togo.

distinct times, and then folding it
with great precision, thoughtfully
and deliberately inserted it IN the
envelope and put both in his pocket.

THE RAILROAD FILTRATION

Mr.. Horatio Holt was bachelor,
aged thirty years or thereabouts,and
possessed of a fortune that yielded
an amount at interest not only suf-
ficiently large to enable its owner to
maintain himself in comfortable cir
cumstances without work, but also
allowed him to add yearly to the
principal the sum of a hundred and
twenty pounds. Thus he was con-
sidered to be Independently wealthy,
and was looked upon as very hand
some and excellent young man by
various disinterested papas and
mamas, whose daughters were the
right age to begin to think Of we'd
ded life.
Among other peculiarities to which
Mr.. Holt was attached-or which
we're attached to him-was the very
skeptical idea that there was not, or
ever had been, such an improbable
thing in existence as love. He be-
lieved that in matrimony, as well as
other matters, all people were actua-
ted by motives ofselfinterest; hence
he regarded with suspicion all fe-
males who approached him.
"For," muttered he, "they are after
my money, and don't care much how
they get it. They would like to
marry me confoundedly we'll"
One day Horatio was sitting in
the sitting room of his chambers,
with his feet occupying a comforta-
BILE position on the table, and he
himself reclining back in an easy
chair, alternately enjoying the flavor
of choice cigar, and partaking in
genteel sips of the contents of a
wineglass supposed to contain the
pure, genuine and only port. While
occupying this position-which is
known to be one of the greatest
prerogatives peculiar to the mascu-
line gender, and which, Of course,
confers an immense credit on the
lsex-he was considerably startled
by the sudden opening of the door,
and the unceremonious entrance OF
the maid-of-all-work, who bore in
her hand letter which she stated
the postman had just that moment
left.
"ConfOund the girl" said Mr.Holt,
when alone, he broke the seal. "She
might have given little warning be-
fore she intruded on the sanctity OF
my solitary feast. I had my feet
elevated some what in the upper re-
gions, and I'm a sinner if she don't
report the same to the landlady.
However, open 'sesams' and"
The completion of this speech was
lost by reason of Mr.. Holt at this
instant becoming deeply absorbed in
the contents ofhis epistle, verbatim
copy of which we take the liberty to
