Conductor Powers Killed.

Mr.. Lyman Powers, long time
conductor on the Vermont Valley
Railroad, met with an accident on
Saturday morning last which resulted
IN his death on the afternoon of the
same day.
He was on board of the train going
from White River Junction to Leba-
non N. H., with his wife, on his way to
his home in Lebanon, He got off the
train before it started and stepped on
to a side track, when another train
came unnoticed to him from behind,
knocking him down and passing over
him, severing both legs from his body.
His wife stood on the car-platform and
witnessed the terrible scene. He suf
fered in mortal agony until death
came to his relief some six hours
thereafter.
Mr.. Powers had been employed on
the road between White River juno.
ton and Brattleboro for nearly twenty.
five years, and was considered by his
employers and those who knew him
best as one Of the most reliable men
on the road. He had the reputation
of being especially careful and eau
tious while on the train, even more so
than conductors ordinarily seem to be,
while his judgement and forethought
were always considered trustworthy
and reliable. Everyone in that part
Of the state knew conductor Powers,
and all will learn with sorrow Of his
terrible death.
Deceased was about fifty years of
age and leaves a family,-[Ru

Mrs. P. is an only daughter Of Mr..
David Howe of this village, and she
has the sympathy Of large circle of
