RAILROAD ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS FORTUNATE
EscAPE.-On Friday, the mail train over the
Central Vermont Railroad which leave,
Bellows Falls at 1850 a. m, for White
River junction, struck broken rail when
about two miles from the junction. The
train consisted Of five cars-three passenger
smoking and baggage. The passenger cars
were thrown from the track, the rear one
going down the cmbankment. some twenty
or twenty-five feet high, and turning com
pletelv over, while the other two narrowly
escaped a similar fate. In the rear car
were seven passengers, one Of whom, an ell
DERBY lady, was severely injured. The re
naming six were fortunate enough to
escape with bruises and scratches, while IN
the other cars none were injured. 1t was
found impossible 10 detach the smoking car
from the wrecked cars, and therefore all the
passengers, some thirty in number, were
packed into the baggage car and taken TO
White River Junction. \ physician hap
pened to be on the train and attended to
the injured lady, but the injuries being in
ternal. it was difficult to tell how severely
she was injured. It was certainly a very
fortunate escape from a terrible disaster, in
this respect being almost on parallel with
the Middlesex accident, few weeks ago.
The train was the one usually run by
Conductor Alfred Dow, but on this occasion
it was run By Conductor Sherman.

After a short recess Attorney General
Clark proceeded 10 sum up the case in be-
half of the State. Referring to the solem-
nity of the occasion. he said Your doubts
of this mans guilt must be reasonable. The
court will take care of the law and the law
of the couseq uences. The first and great
question before YOU Is. who murdered Josie
4. Langmaid? That there was murder
there is no doubt. With all the efforts that
have been put foAh in all these three
months, if Joseph La Page is not the man.
where i the murderer of Josie Langmaid?
If some tramp or demented person had done
this, some evidence would have come to
hight by this time with excited New Eng
lsnd looking for the murderer.
The subject for the motive was then con-
sidered, and the fallacy of the argument OF
the counsel for the defence. We claim OPP
portunity. physical strength, heart OF
blsckness and an uncomfortable lust which
constituted motive enough.
The counsel then rseounted the testi mo-
ny and scenes while Julienns Rouse was

An Amphlhious People.

The writer of a paper called ga Week
among the Maoris of Lake Taupo," in
he COrnhiW Magazine for January, says:
"Arriving, we were transfixed with as
constituent and amusement. The
ground was as hard as stone, covered
with a rock-like deposit of silica, which
formed a sort of platform. AS if scoop
ed out Of this, were three almost circu-
lar basins, Of twelve feet in diameter,
and immeasurably deep. The right and
left pools were nearly boiling-the GEN.
trail basin just right for a dip. In this
cauldron were forty-eight persons
'hitched' round the edges, shoulder to
shoulder, and with heads just out of the
water, sporting in the midst. We soon
decided what to do, and SOC there
were fifty persons instead of forty-eight,
smiling and laughing, and shaking
hands, or rubbing noses in the water.
They were all sorts and sizes, and all
en- costume d'crchange. Some were old
tattooed grandsires, some babies haedly
able to walk; there were fathers of fam
lilies and mothers of the same; young
men and maidens, boys and girls laugh
ed together. The most perfect decorum
and propriety was observed. Little
brown babies nestled in their fathers
arms, and the latter to amuse us pitch.
ed the little things into the midst to
show how they could swim. They would
sink for a moment and then disclose a
little brown solemn face above the wa
ter, and strike out for their fathers
arms again. 1 shall. never now believe
that children can not learn to swim az
soon as they can walk, or before"
Miss FANNIE PALMER, of San Juan
Island, was lost on the steamship Pa
cifc. Her body has been found. The
waves carried it $50 miles, and cast it
upon the beach, it is said, almost within
sight of her parents house.

to see, but no encouraging answer was
waited back to him.
The hotel was gained, and the stage
stood before the door, but the conse-
quent failure Of the theory OF the Ro-
manoer's reader could not stop the i'm
petuous rush of the villagers. They
crowded into the public room of the
hotel, but neither 10 nor the stranger
was there. In a moment, however, a
door opened, and good Mrs. Butler, the
landlady, appeared with a smile on her
face and a tear in each eye.
81 know what you men are AFTER"
she said. "Don't ever talk about wom-
ans curiosity again. The whole story
is this: Je Madison is a woman, and
Mr.. Brown was her lover. They had
some sort of a lovers quarrel, and part
cd angry. She made up her mind she
was in the wrong, but by that time he
had started on another trip. She didn't
know where to write to him, but she
had once heard him say he never missed
going to Kihgsboro, so she came here in
a suit of her brothers. clothes and has
been waiting for him ever since, poor
girl. And they've made up, and are
ever so happy, and are going to be mar
ried tomorrow. AndI've known about
it all the time, and I'd have done just
what she did Il I'd have been her."
This last clause of Mrs. Buffers
speech was enough to set 10 Madison
right in every ones eyes, for Mrs. But
Ter was one of those women who are
trusted by every one on questions Of
%prOpnety. But it is doubtful whether
her hearers on this particular occasion
remembered this portion of Mrs. But
ler's wonderful address until it wa re-
called by some sighting remark made
by persons to whom the story was told
at second hand. The mel said nothing
to each other for several moments, then
Bill Burth went meekly up to Squire
Ripson and whispered:
"Iwas a fool, Squire"
al was another" whispered the
Squire in return.
The interested parties had determined
to have the wedding ceremony perform
ed with the greatest privacy, but some
one learned from Parson Fish the hour
at which the service was to be perform
ed, and the news spread rapidly, and
the Kingsboro people took the matter
into their own hands. They dressed in
their best and besieged the hotel, and
when the bride saw them through the
Stats of her window-blinds her sense of
fun moved her to order that they should
be admitted so far as the capacity of the
largest ro9m in the hotel would allow.
Then,it 1asI discovered that the bride
had discreetly brought a trunkful of
her proper apparel with her, and
that she looked simply charming in a
neat walking-suit and bonnet. Parson
Fish made man and wife of Hubert L..
Brown and Josephine NJ. Allison, and
then "Jo" kissed and was kissed by all
the Kingsboro girls, and by many
matrons who seemed to grow younger
as they looked into her happy face. AS
for the men, they looked as sheepish as
they deserved to, but they had q new
subjec5 for conversation, and it lasted
the post-oflice coterie for o full fort
night.-HedrM and Home.

The Naval Investigation.

>TRoNG TESTIMONY IN FAVOR OF SECRE-
TARY robson.
Before the House Committee on Naval
Affairs yesterday Admiral Rodgers testified
that during the three years he was chief of
The bureau Of yards and docks In the Navy
department, Secretary Robson never direct
ed him, or suggested or limited to him to favor
anybody, and never interfered with persons
or papers In bis bureau. He thought the
Secretary's action concerning the Mare ISL
and granite contract was correct and neces-
cary under the circumstances. DIR. Jas. G.
Palmer, chief of bureau of medicine and sur
gerry, and Chief Engineer Shock, who had
at various times been acting chief OF the bu-
reau OF steam engineering, gave testimony
10 the same purpOrt. The latter was inter
John Roach & Sons, of New York, for ma
chinery of the steamer Tennessee, and testi-
fed that the departures from the original
contract were made with the concurrence of
the chiefs 0fthe bureaus OF construction and
OF steam engineering and Of the naval con-
structOr; that they were OF benefit to the
government, and that the machinery was q
grea success, the Tennee now making 13H
knots per hour. Commodore Howard, the
present chief of the bureau of yards and
docks, gave similar testimony as to his
freedom from dictation or suggestion on the
part OF Secretary Robson in the matter of
contracts, &c. Geo. F. Cutter, purchasing
paymaster at New York, and A. w. Rus
sell, purchasing paymaster at Philadelphia,
also testified that Secretary Robson never
attempted, either directly or Indirectly. to
control or influence them in their purchases
