RUTLAND, VT, Feb. 24.-One Of the most
horrible railroad accidents that has occur

Harlem Extension railroad. The train left
Rutland thirty minutes late, and on account
of the extreme colo weather, Superinten-
dent Burdett feared that they might break
a rail. and gave the conductor orders not
to make up any time The train proceeded
at low rate of speed, but when within
fifty rods of South Wsllingford station.
THE ENGINE BROKE A RAIL,
throwing the rear passenger car and the
Wagner sleeping car, behind it from the
track. The passenger car followed the road
bed, but the sleeping car was thrown down
the embankmelt. some fifteen feet high,
smashing the car and setting 1t on fire from
the stove. There were nine or ten persons
in this car at the time, only eight Of whom

not yet advised. The Chairman of
the Republican State Central Commit

can majority in the Legislature of
40 on Joint ballot. This is probably
an overestimate, but our dispatches
leave but little room to doubt that the
Republicans have carried the entire

State ticket, and a majority OF the Leg

as we'll as two United States Senators.
The result of this election in nowise
changes the aspect of the presidential
outlook, the State never having been
considered doubtful, but was always
placed in the Republican column by
the prognosticators of both parties
when making their figures upon the
next electoral college.
