A MAN KILLED ON THE VI & Mass. R.
R.-The dead body of Alva G. Stone of
Montague, Mass, was found near the
Deerfeld river bridge on the track of
the Vt. & Mass. railroad, on Wednesday
morning, 10th inst 1t lay with the
back up, the shoulders against one rail,
the head gone, one leg cut off, and
with the clothing somewhat torn. Some
men living in the vicinity were notified,
went out and looked at the body and
searched for the missing head, without
being able to find it. A cap and um-
brella were discovered few feet distant
and near the west end of the bridge.
The body was not removed until the
half-past six passenger and a freight
train had run over it. 1t was finally
taken off by railroad employees sent for
that purpose The head could not be
found. Coroner Hawland's jury found
that the last person who saw Stone alive
was an intoxicated companion who left
him lying upon the track near the place
where the body was found. Itwas rain
ing hard when the Boston train crossed
the bridge, about an hour later The
conductor, engineer and fireman testified
that they were running slow, that it was
dark, and that the steam that generated
in consequence of the falling rain upon
the boiler prevented them from seeing
objects ahead. They perceived no unusu-
al motion, and knew nothing of the body
being run over until the next day. An
examination of the wheels of the engine
showed no evidence of blood ETC., but
they had been washed by the rain and
water upon the track. There can be
but little doubt that the head was rolled
in some way into the river.
The jury in their verdict find that
Stone came to his death in consequence
of being run over by the Tuesday even
ing train, but exonerate the railroad Off
Gals from all blame. The conductor of
the Thursday morning train had reason
to suppose that the body had been re-
moved, and did not see it until too late
to stop. The men who first saw it upon
the track should have laid it aside, but
supposed, mistakenly, that the law would
not permit them to do SO.
Mr. Stone was about fifty years of
age, and leaves wife and two daugh-
tiers. The sad affair is another proof of
the terrible results which follow the
sale of intoxicating liquors.

The MINGo DlsrILLERY DESTROYED
LAST NIeHr-A MYSTERIOUS FIRE
October 80, 1871, Mr.. Oliver 7. Beard,
OF New York, opened q distillery q few
miles below this city, for the purpose Of
distillinp alcohol. The building he
used for the purpose was an old one,
but the machinery and facilities neces-
sary for this branch OF manufacture cost
some ten or twelve thousand dollars, the
capacity of the distillery being 1874 gal
Ions per day, furnishing revenue to the
government of some four or five thou
sand dollars per month tax. During
the time the distillery has been in
operation, it has not been very
remunerative to its owner, but it was in
successful operation for the past few
months. Last evening abou: 10 o'clock

was totally destroyed with its contents,
although some of the whisky was saved,
all in the bonded warehouse having
been taken out the day previous. Mr..
Beard left for New York yesterday and
was notified of the loss by telegraph
this morning. Eastern companies hold
six thousand dollars insurance on the
building and goods, and the entire loss

on yesterday went before Squire Laun-

1t appears that Joseph married in Ger.

RAILROAD ITEMs.-The report is that
investigation at Wheeling discloses the
fact that the land sought to be codemned
for the track Of the Pittsburgh, Wheel
ing and Kentucky railroad, along the
river bank through the city, is city
property. having been a reservation for
public purposes by the original Zane,
who laid out that portion Of the city.
The parties in occupancy have been
disposed to be exacting in the matter Of
of damages, but if this report be true,
and it comes pretty straight, it may put
q new face on the matter. Damages for
right of way will, whether this be cor.
rect or not, be much less than antici-
pated, and releases between this and
Wheeling have been pretty generally
adjusted with land owners.
A portion Of the land owners in
Buffalo township, on the line Of the
Pittsburgh, Wheeling and Kentucky
railroad, met the representatives Of the
road last Saturday, for the purpose OF
compromising damages. Among the
gentlemen present were Mr.. j. K.
Windsor, Mr.. David Riddle and others
The land owners asked $3.50, and were
offered 5000 per acre, 80 that there Is
only $50 between them. In considera-
ton of the fact that the road will run
in many instances right through the
centre OF the river bottom land in
Buffalo township, the amount asked is
not exorbitant. The impression OF some
of the owners thereof was that it would
run further back to the base Of the hills.
The difference in controversy is so small
that no serious trouble need be appre-
hended, or long litigation looked for. 1t
is due TO the gentlemen above named TO
state that they are and have been
railroad men, and ask only what they
deem reasonable compensation in the
matter of damages Wellsburg Ne'rS.
