THE Rt TLAND RAILROAD CASE,
The Count Of votcs-The New Board.

Ehe contest for the possession of the Rut
land railroad was decided yesterday in favol
OF the Clement party by an overwhelming
malorlty-a majority much larger than ever
the Clements themselves expected. The vote
stood 30, pa shares for the Clement ticket tc
lo,093 for the Page ticket. The board OF
directors elected is as follows: John T.
Coolidge of Boston, John w. Stewart of Mid.
dlebury, Charles Clement of Rutland, James
y. Sargent OF Boston, Bradley b. Smaley
OF burlington, William Wells OF Burlington,
Gcorge Nj. Barnard of Boston, Percival w.
Clement of Rutland, George Ii. Ball OF
| Worcester, Mass.
| The defeated board was composed of the
following gentlemen: John r. Coolidge of
boston, Henry NJ Whitney of Boston, John
Is. rage OF Rutland, George III. Ball of Wor-
cester, L. A. Orchard of Boston, Jas. w.
iilckok of Burlington, Edward II. Ripley of
Rutland, w. f. Robinson of Boston, James
Ii: Williams of Bellows Falls.
The count of the votes required the exer.
else of great deal of labor and care. The
tellers and the opposing lawyers were engag.
ca at 1t without cessation from ten o'clock
Tuesday night until three o'clock Wednesday
leinoon, when Tue result was declared.
Lunch was carried to the opera house and
the work went on through the night. At
nine O'Clock Wednesday morning the meet.
Ing was adjourned till twelve, and then again
adjourned to three u. m.
The contest throughout bore the appearance
OF stormy political convention. The
house was packed-dclcgate on the floor
and spectators in the galleries the con-
tending sides had able speakers to advocate
their claims. Hearty applause followed the
telling points and Kissing was INDUCED In to
express disapproval. The chairman, Gov.
Page, though assiied by very much
younger men than himself in a
hot-headed, reckless and shameful way
charging him with fraud aud various errors
OF management, kept serenely cool and per-
1ectly quiet, under the shower, noting all the
points to which he wished to reply, until it
had all fallen. He then replied, and to all
unprejudiced observers made a very clear,
satisfactory and convincing statement. The
Page party however had the Haven troubles
to contend against, as well as the large fin
ancial backing of the Clements, who, it is
currently reported, invested quarter of a
million dollars in the stock of the road II
is also stated, with how much truth we do
not know, that b. p. CIcney of Boston, is
the party at the back of the whole move

aud passengers on this train at once set
about rcscuing the unfortunate men under
the freight train, but it was so hot they could
DO but little. The groans OF the men were
heard under the wreck, but on account of the

DREADFUL ACCIDENT.
Two Lives Lost ana n Third Endan
gered Through Criminal Reckless

A shocking accident by which two lives
were lost and third imperilled occurred
Wednesday on the Burlington and Lamoilc
railroad near Essex Centre. As the Eastern
bound express train, James b. Henderson
conductor and John Ryder engineer, was
within about half mile of the station at
Essex Centre, Simon Cunningham attempted
to cross the track in advance of the locomo-
tive. lie was in buggy and was accom-
panied by his wife and four-years- old child.
The locality is known as Peppin's crossing,
and at this point a train is visible for n long
distance-half a mile, perhaps. The fire.
man first saw Cunningham approaching and
the bell was rung and the whistle blown.
But the Inflated man refused to take
warning and drove ahead. The result
was that the engine struck the horse
in the hip and dreadfully manglcd him,
smashed the wagon into kindling- wood, and
Killed Cunningham instantly. Mrs. Gun
bingham had both legs broken and was
otherwise badly hurt, Her injuries are nee
essarily fatal, and probably by the time these
lines reach the readers eye her suffcrings
will have come to an end. The little child,
fortunately and most miraculously, escaped
with no worse harm han a broken leg DIR.
w. w. Styles of Essex and DR.. Ashley of
Wcstford attended to the injured ones and
did everything possible for them. Mr.. Gun
bingham was shockingly manglcd. lie was
a farmer, about thirty-fve years old and re-
sides some two or three miles from Essex
Centre. The accident was of course the re-
suit of his own reckless folly. No one on
the train can for one moment be blamed.
