Fatal railroad Aoclden, a, springfield.


Last Monday as engineer Seth Maqoon,
well known in Brattleboro, was making his
morning run from Keene into Springfield, he
ran into the rear end Of freight train at the
foot of John street in the latter city, and in
stantly killed a woman, Mrs. Henry S. Wilder,
wife OF the telegraph operator at Mt Tom,
who was riding in the caboose. The freight
train was late and was waiting for a locked
switch to be opened. A brakeman had been
sent back to flag the passenger train, but he
only got some GOO feet toward the passenger
train, and as he stood on curve Magoon
did not see him till too late. Magoon and
his fireman jumped, and were not hurt to
speak OF. Magoon put on the brakes aud re.
versed his machine, and thinks the train had
slowed down to four miles an hour when il
struck, but the force of the collision was so
great that half Of two cars was splintered in
fine pieces and the wrecks locked together /;
the smoke-stack and the front of the engine
the Brightwood-were crushed in and the
engine deraied On Wednesday a hearing
in the case was had before the railroad com.
missoners at Boston. No blame seems to at
tach to Magoon, but it appears that the
freight train was accustomed to take an hours
latitude about getting in, and that there were
no measures provided for warning the engi.
neer of the express in case of delay at the
switch except the sending back Of a fagman.
The freight engineer seems to have taken the
time into his own hands, and to have en-
croached on the time of the express within
the narrow margin Of four minutes according
to his own figures, or of one minute according
to the leaving time on record at the central

The Boston Butter Market.

From the Journals City Article.l
There has been a scarcity of choice butter the past
few days and on some desirable lots advance has
been obtained. As rule however, prices about
the same as last week. The cold weather has kept
back supplies and the indications that prices will
hold up for another week; but farmers should not
count on any permanent rise, as one or two warm
days, with moderate receipts, would decided
reaction. Many northern creamerics have started
this week. and their product will soon be in market
The finest creamery has been selling the past few
at IS to 80 cts pound in trade lots, and at 80 to 81
cts. In jObbing way with consguments nearly all
engaged before arrival. The quality Of most Of the
dairy butter II still rather poor, only occasional
lots bringing 25c, pound. The bulk Of last week
receipts sold at u 30 - cts. pound All the choice
old butter has disappeared. What remains is Of All
inferior quality aud sells at u to 10 cents pound
