At North Tunbridge, Albert Sanlter was
thrown from a moving machine. The
horses ran several yards, dragging him,
and one guard was driven into his leg

There was an exciting escape from the
asylum at Brattleboro recently, woman
down from a two story window. She
met three men on the street and when
they undertook to capture her, the issue
seemed doubtful for a time, but she was

A peculiar case of insolvency is that of
V. Stone of Richford. The third meeting
of creditors was held in st. Adams last
week, when it was found that not only
would the estate pay no dividend, but it
would fail to pay costs by the sum of
$27. Stones attorney charged So for
his services, and costs of court were SOS.

a neighbours pasture and in getting home

through many sections of the state as an
able preacher of the Seventh Day Advent
ist denomination, was killed in the Carl

The financial troubles which beset
Bradley Barlow and the South Eastern
railway have not been lessened by the
events of the past week, and aside from
the property, there is little encourage
ment to be drawn from the situation of
affairs at the close of the week that has
brought such calamity to the president of
the Vermont National Bank Mr.. Bar
low does not feel very hopeful of any re-
lief from the difficulties in which he is
| involved. Reports from Montreal and
| points on the South Eastern railway seem
| to indicate that an endless intrigue has
been begun by creditors for the posses
sion of Mr.. Barlow's estate, and that the
outcome will be interminable and expen-
sive litigation. A number of attachments
have already been put on the railroad
property, bonds and stock of both the
South Eastern and Montreal, Portland
and Boston roads. The Montreal Star is
of the opinion that Mr.. Barlow's assign
ment was merely made as loophole to
prevent the goobling up Of the South
Eastern railway by the Canadian Pacific
at figure which Mr.. Barlow was not
willing to accept.
