GOLDEN-ROD.

The air is warm and ballny yet,
The meadows still are green
But Autumn's royal seal isset
Upon the smiling scene.
For look along the wayside NOD
The tossing plumes of gOlden-rod.
1t seems but yesterday we found
; The Mayfi0wer on the hills;
And gayly were the gardens crowned
With Junes first dafiodilis-
We thought I was yet the opening year
All, goiden-rod what brings you here
We had so many things 70 DO
That scarcely are begun
Say not that harvesting IS through,
And Summer days al done.
With winged sandals were they shod,
And fled when you came, gOlden-rod.
4 care not for your greeting cold,
September's child replies
Nv livery of FURNISHED gold
Suits best autumnal skies.
No sichs I waste for vanished Spring,
| wait upon the Autumn king.
For he, the king, has need Of me,
Fringe on his nantle's hem.
when gold and scarlet leaves shall be
HIS blazing diadem.'
Grieve not that days like these are near
They are the glory of the year

A HORRIBLE DEED.
A Brakeman bitches a Train for the
Purpose Of Revenge.

ST. ALBANs, VT, Nov. ).
A train on the Missisquio road was thrown
from the track near North Ensburg this
morning by misplaced switch, and the en-
CINE precipitated into the river. Engineer
Thomas Flood jumped and had both legs
broken and his skull fractured. Fireman
Fred Hanver went down with the engine and
was killed.
There Is strong evidence to prove that the
switch was turned on to the gravel tracks and
then locked by one. Ed Ellis, brakeman on
the Southeastern, in revenge for being for
hidden to ride on the train without pass.
Flood is not expected to recover. Parties
claim to have seen Ellis hurrying through
the woods at the time the train went off. Men
went in pursuit at once bnt at last accounts
he was not caught. None of the passengers
were hurt. The only thing that saved fur
Their disaster was the breaking of a rail,
which threw the passenger cars on to a side
bank.
Edward Ellis was arrested late this after
noon at Richtord. He confessed to passing
the switch early this forenoon, but claims
that he left it all right. Circumstantial evil
dence is strong against him.

then began a serious fight with bricks, stones
and clubs. Outsiders Joined in and many
heads as well as all the windows ia the neigh
