Railroad Accident,

A terrible railroad collision between
the Chicago fast train and the New
York express occurred at Colchester,
on the Central Vermont, Saturday
night, about 8 o'clock. Colchester is
a meeting place for these trains, and
both were about on time. The New
York express arrived first, and had
turned the switch preparatory to set
ting off on the side track. Before the
engine of the train reached the switch,
the Boston express came along at a
rapid rate. Engineer Jones, of the
Boston train, applied the air brakes as
soon as he discovered the danger of a
collision, but they did not work and
his train crashed into the New York
express before the latter could back
out of the way. None of the passen-
gers were hurt. Both engines were
badly smashed. A large number of
gravel train men were in the baggage
car Of the Boston train and several of
them were more or less hurt. Thir-
teen persons in the Boston train were
injured, among them G.. F. Jones, en-
gineer, bruised chiefly on left leg and
shoulder; G. S. Jones, his son, left
leg cut slightly and bruised otherwise /;
w. H. Chilson of Sharon, fireman,
severely hurt, being bruised all over,
but chiefly in the back Michael Finn,
baggage master, a severe scalp wound
on the front part of his head.

70 The republican press, desperate
for some charge to make against the
democrats, accuse them of alliance
with the Mormons, and seem to think
it can terrify the honest voters into be-
lieving that the election of democrat
to the presidency would result in their
being compelled to marry two or three
more wives apiece. Just how effective
this very plausible scarecrow is going
to prove remains to be seen.
