SAD ACCIDENT AT MIDDLEBUHN
wallace w. slason Killed.

The sad intelligence was received about
five o'clock yesterday afternoon that Wal
lace w. Slason, former well known resi-
dent of Rutland, had been killed by falling
under the cars at Middlebury,
The particulars, as we understand them,
at the present writing, are as follows The
mixed train, upon which Mr. Slason was a
passenger, stopped as usual at NIiddlebury,
for wood and water, leaving the passenger
car standing in the covered bridge. He got
off the car upon the east side with the pur-
pose of going.to the depot. A high snow
bank prevented his going around the wood
shed, and he started through narrow
passage way, covered with ice, between
the woodshed and train, putting his left
hand against the cars to steady himself.
The train suddenly started up and MIR.
Slason slipped and fell under freight
car, which dragged him about fifty
feet. He was taken out Immediately but
lived only about five minutes. His sbody
was removed to the gentemen's waiting
room where it was examined by physicians
and prepared to be seEt to Rutland on the
night train. We are not advised rs to the
injuries received by him.
Mr.. Slason and his partner, j. L. Cum
bingham of st. Adams, were in town yes
terday, and went to West Rutland to pur-
chase marble. On their return they dined
at the Bardwell House, and were after
wards driven to Sutherland Falls, that they
might transact some business there in
time to take the mixed train north.
w. w. Slason was the second son of
our venerable towhsman Francis Slason,
Esq, of West Rutland. He was among
the first persons who engaged in the mar
BILE business, but was unsuccessful, and
afterward, for few years, was mer-
chant, and has since been engaged in vari-
Gus kinds of business, among which was
Quarrylng granite at Keene, N. H., for the
new state capitol at Albany. He had, re-
bingham opened marble works at st. AL
bans, and it was with the view of pur-
chasing stock that he visited Rutland at
this time.
Wallace Sason will be remembered by
many of our townsmen as man of noble
impulses, large heart, and genial compan-
ion. He was, as yonng man widely
known, and gave promise of successful
career in the business circles, but misfor-
tunes, one after another, had overtaken
him, and his success has not been such as
his early promise foreshadowed. He has
been twice married. His first wife was
Annette Gookin, daughter of the late
William Gookin of Center Rutland, and a
sister of Mrs. George II. Beaman. His
second wife, who survives him, was res
ident Of Keene, N. H., where Mr.. Slason
now had his residence. He leaves several
children, among whom are Miss Mary A.
Slason, teacher in the Brattleboro high
school and Mrs. -. Douglass of this
village. He was brother of Rev. James
L. Slason of Ticonderoga, N. y, and
Charles G. Slason of West Rutland.
The sympathy of our community will be
extended to his venerable father and his
immediate family in the tragic death of the
son, brother, husband and father. Many
others with kindly memories of genial
companion and friend will sorrow at his
sad death.

LATER.

Mr.. Slason fell upon his face, fracturing
the skull and cutting several gashes in his
head. Both arms and both legs were
broken. He was taken up by Mr.. Gram
dali, baggage master, and laid upon the
platform of the depot. He made no sign
of life or spoke after being taken up. Mr..
Cunningham warned him not to get off
upon the east side of the car as there was
not platform or walk, but he thought it
safe, and went forward, Mr.. G. fearful all
the time that he was in danger. At this
hour we must reserve further particulars
until our next issue.
The remains arrived here on the mid
night train, when they were taken to the
Bardwell house and placed in casket
from whence they were carried to his
fathers residence in West Rutland. We
are not apprised of the time OF the funeral

Duncan, Sherman & Co. Charged with
Fraudulent Practices.

TrHuuuteHt TrUcIfces.
NEW YORK, Oct 9.-In relation to the action
of w. Butler Duncan, relative to the PROPOSE.
ton to the creditors of Duncan, Sherman &
Co., the Tribune says the transfer of the bank
ing house property at the corner of Nassau and
Pine streets, and of the Lyceum theatre on 18th
street, has caused the greatest indignation
among the creditors. and this act supplemented
by proposition which has been rejected, has
inspired determination among many of them
to take decisive measures to protect their rights
The first step of importance will be an effort
to set back the deed of property to Alexander
Duncan. This deed, it will be remembered,
was alleged to have been in possession of a
clerk OF the firm until the day of the failu re,
when it was filed.
The Times says an order of arrest has been
granted against members of. the firm of Dun
can, Sherman & Co., by Judge Lawrence of
the Supreme Court, and they are held in $4,000
each for trial on charges of fraud.
