THE ACCIDENT TO PROF. TILDEN.
w. c. Tilden, professor of chemistry
at Howard University, Washington
was accidentally shot, in the National
Hotel, Friday night, by a ball from a
pistol which fell from the pocket of G.
G. Wall The ball entered his abdomen,
making a very serious wound. 1t is
thought, Saturday, that Mr.. Tilden is more
comfortable, and strong hopes of his re-
covery are expressed. DIR. Tilden mar
ried the daughter of Mrs. Charles Lins-
ley, of Middlebury, widow of the late
Charles Linsley, formerly OF this town.
He has resided in Washington for several
years He is a gentleman of splendid
abilities as a scholar, and true gentle
man withal, Great sympathy is ex-
pressed for him in his sufferings We
trust he may fully recover, for he is one
of those men the world can lily spare,
and his young family, as well as many
friends, would be rendered nearly incor-
solable by his loss.

Montpelier and Rutland Railroad

1t is said the friends of the Montpelier
and Rutland railroad via Rochester, a
project which is Just now considerably
agitated, feel confident of its c0nstruc-
ton if Rutland will contribute thereto
1885, 600. This IF is quite an import
ant reservation, and "if" success de-
ponds upon the fulfllment of the CON
ditiOn we fear the forests of Rochester
and the Green Mountains will long re-
main undlsturhed by the screech of the
locomotive. 1t is heavy task for Rut-
land to undertake and it will be a seri-
Gus questi with her whether the fruits
will compensate Not many years since
she had within her grasp theopportunity
to secure a better thing for about the
same amount of money, but allowed it
to slip by unimprOved. 1t is of course
idle to indulge in such "reminiscences, yet
il is a fact we cannot overlook in this
connection, that if Rutland had taken
hold Of the work as she ought to have
done the Woodstock and Rutland road
would be in operation to-day. We DO
not believe the road will be built on such
basis rs it would seem from the rumOr
referred to is to be policy of the pro-
meters of the enterprise; that is, hy
setting before the respective towns in
tercsted a particular task which they
must perform or the whole fails. The
better way is to raise all that possibly
can be raised throughout the entire line
and then mortgage and bond at once for
the balance and go ahead.
There can be no doubt of the feast
biIity of the route,-in fact we believe
that as a rule any route proposed for a
& / l.. L.. a.,
complaining determination to build. The
bugbears of grades and curves no longer
frighten intelligent railroad builders and
operators. And the Importance of the
route to the country along its line is in
calculable. The Imagination of the
widest dreamer cannot grasp the extent
to which it would develop and enrich the
beautiful and fertile valley of the White
River. while the lumber business and
manufacturing interests would make OF
that section one OF the most important
in the State To Montpelier the road
would be of paramount Importance.
With this and the Wells River road COM
pleted she might rest secure in her pos
itiOn, because then she would be so stu
ated with reference to railroads as un-
questionably to be the most easily ac-
/ cessible to the whole State of any town
within our limits.
We believe in railroads as the great
/ promoters of civilization, population and
wealth, and so hail with satisfaction
every movement for the construction of
/ new lines in Vermont. If every valley
| in the State had its railroad there would
/ still be room and a demand for more,
/ and the more we have the better for the
whole State SO we say push ahead the

Terrible Nyarine Disaster.

LONDON, Jan. %.
4 report of terrible marine disaster
last night in the English Channel has
Just been received in London. The emf
grant ship North Fleet, which sailed
from here several days ago for Austria
liza with four hundred and twelve passen-
gers, exclusive eff her crew, was in col
lision at midnight, two miles off Dunge-
ness, with an unknown foreign steam
ship and was cut to the waters edge.
Only eighty-five persons are known to
have been saved, and it is believed every
other person who was on board has found
a watery grave. No attention was paid
by the steamship to the emigrant vessel
after the collision, and she proceeded on
her course, leaving the sufferers to their
fate
LONDON, Jan. %.
When the collision between the emil
grant ship Northfeet and the unknown
steamer happened last night panic oc-
CURED on the former vessel. The pas
seppers who were asleep ran from their
berths to every part of the ship where
they thought they might be safe, and ut
terly refused to obey the orders of the
captain That officer, as last resort to
enforce obedience to his commands, was
compelled to fire upon the terIor-strick-
en- people, and one of them was wound
ed. 1t is believed if the passengers had
obeyed the orders of the captain more of
them would have been saved.
LONDON, Jan. %.
Additional particulars of the terrible
marine disaster off Dungeness lighthouse
last night have been received. The North
fleet was lying at anchor at the time the
collision occurred. Her cargo consisted
of railroad iron. Three hundred and
twenty-one persons were drowned, in
Guiding the captain of the Inflated yes

SNow.--Let it not be again said that
Rutland is snowless town. With the
experience of this winter, we could go
five or six years without seeing another
flake of snow, and then average all right
for the six or seven years. 1t really
seems as though showing had become a
second nature to the weather and that it
keeps on because it is too lazy to stop,
or because it don't know how. Yester-
day morning, about one o'clock, the
snow commenced to fall again and con-
tinued throughout the day and evening
without interruption, until it really be-
came discomfort to travel. on account
of the superabundance of snow in the
roads, condition of affairs hitherto
unknown in Rutland, for many years at
least. There was no wind and, conse-
quently, railroad travel was compare
lively unimpeded, but the snow is in
such a condition than anything of "a
blow" would speedily place US in state
of blockade.

The wild Man seen Again.

mountains east of here for the last three
years, and who has incorrectly been stated

recently near Squaw Valley. He was en-
gagged in picking thimblcberrics, and was
perfectly naked. He was covered all over
with long black hair and had long gray
whiskcrs. lie is a white man, large and
powerful, and at least six feet high; his
finger nails have grown out several inches
in length. Downing was within twenty
feet of him when he raised up FROM pick

turned and started to run. Downing was

to him no doubt delightful. occupation OF
scratching himself. lie is the constant
terror of the Indians in the mountains east

ANEoDorE OF Coy. Colby. The pleasant
and humorous vein in the character of the
late Governor Colby, of New Hampshire.
is well remembered. 1t will be recollected
that he was chosen Governor by the Wings
on account of divisions among the Demo.
Gratis IN 1916. The next year, however,
the latter got united ard carried the State
then and for n long time afterward. In
view of this result persons would some
times banter Governor Colby on his one
term of office. In return he once said that
he considered his administration the most
remarkable one the State ever had. 'Why
so,' was asked, when the Governor, with
as much gravity as he could well put on,
answered. "Because | have satisfied the
people in one year, and no other Governor
ever did that" Ii is needless TO add that
Governor Colby did not get joked often
after that about his one term administra-
ton.
