RAILROAD CULLISlON IN YER
MONT.
Two Trains Collide while Run
ming at Full Speed
PERSONS SERIOUSLY IN.
JURED.

Montpelier, September %. A serious collision
took place at $40 this afternoon, on the Mont
pelier Wells River railroad, half mile out of
the station here, between mixed train of seven
box freight and three passenger cars, drawn by
the locomotive "Plainfeld," going to Wells River,
and the locomotive "Windsor" coming in with a
single passenger car from Barre.
The Barre engine about mile and a half from
here rounded a curve at speed OF perhaps twenty
miles an hour, and struck the approaching train,
going some 20 rods after the engineer, Benz. Mer-
rill, first saw it.
The result was a collision and very serious dam
age to both engines. The tenders were complete
ly wrecked, two of the Wells River freight cars
being piled upon the engine Plalnfed, hang ing
on either side OF the tender by the coupling irons.
There were several passengers in the three rear
cars of the Wells River train, who only slightly
felt the shock, the freight cars intervening and
the train not having much Roadway.
Charles c. Field and fireman {. NJ. Ptman of
this train jumped off and escaped uniniured, as
also did the fireman of the Windsor but the en-
gneer of the latter, BENZ. Morrill,, an old and
well known employe of the Central and Northern
Railroad willie sitting on his seat had his right
leg horribly crushed between that and the trunk
of the tender and was otherwise seriously injured.
There are bat slight hopes OF his recovery. There
were three passengers in the Barre car who es-
capped with slight bruises. Conductor Bailey was
thrown violently across the seats and his left
shoulder was severely bruised, and he received
a cash two inches long, on the back of his head
but his in uries are not considered serious.
wrecking train soon arrived and is at the wreck,
clearing the track. The surgeons have amputa.
ted engineer Morrls leg. He still remained I'M
der the influence ofether at p. NJ. The blame
OF this sad accident seems to be wholly attributed
to tie switch boy at Barre Junction who told Con-
ductor Bailey that the Wells River train had
passed,

Yesterday morning at low water it was possible
to see Halletts reef 100 feet from the edge of the

was invisible to the keenest eye. Yesterday
morning the depth of East river, hundred feet
from the edge of the Golfer dam was fem >jy to
seven feet at the utmost and the euge sloI "a out

distance from the Golfer dam there were in the

The Lost Cause not Lost.

MEssRs EDITORS Il notice that your neighbor
of the Portland Argus does not admit that
Lee surrendered the lost cause when he gave
his sword to General Chamberlain, at Appomat-
toy Court House. In copying your short
article last week, wherein yon state that Gen
Grant, on the surrender of the lost cause. una lie a
present Of the saddle in which he was mounted
during the lion, that Editor, though he
copied every other word in the article, care
full to re ect those humilating words, thereby dis
allowing that the lost cause surrendered or
lost Indeed, such is the fact, as still affirmed at
the South, and the dough-faced Democracy at
the North disposed to aid them in support Of
the affirmation. That cause if temporarily lost or
suspended, It is their purpose to regain and install
over the Union. in which they have come as they
say, to stay, and control the Government as they
did control it before the Rebellion. This control
which they lost by the election Of Lincoln, and
10 revenge for which political defeat they sought
to destroy the Union, they are now aspiring to re-
sumo as of yore and they will do il, if the Demo-
cratic party prevails again in the Nation The
Argus knows this ard hence it does not admit
that Lee surrendered the lost cause, he only sur
rendered the army, to reorganlze the rebel ele-
ment for restoration to power.
