son Killed.

ST. ALBANs. VT. May II.
The Boston express bound north over the
Central Vermont railroad was delayed several
hours by an accident at East Greenville. A
freight train had been doing work at the sta
ton, and when backed out of the way to wait
for the express. due at 3.32. the switch near
the depot was misplaced. The express left
the track and ran into building used as a
hotel and depot. Engineer Buck vas severe
lv shaken up but not dangerously hurt A
Mrs. Spaulding, who was standing on the
depot platform. was bodily hurt. Fortunate
ly, no passengers were injured.
WEST RANDOLPH, NAV II.
LATER-The Boston and Montreal express

the Lowell and Central Vermont railroads.
met with a serious accident at East Granville
caused by misplaced switch. The engine.
a mail, baggage and two freight cars were
wrecked. Engineer Thos. Buck was badly
injured in the back. Mrs. Lucia Spauldng.
a widow and boarding house keeper in the
depot, was standing on the platform and was
Knocked through the side of the building and
cannot live, The mail and baggage men were
scratched. The depot is badly wrecked, one
side being crushed in by the freight cars
driven into it that were standing on side
track. None of the passengers were serious
ly injured. The responsibility rests upon
the freight men or switch tender, who failed
to close the. switch. This is one of the most
dangerous points on the Central Vermont.
and II is almost miracle that the whole
train was not wrecked and many lives lost.
The passengers were carried by, and arrived
at Northfeld, VT, five hours late.

TEW kSISU RY.
The Governor sui CIingins 10 Dixweil.

BosToN, Nav II.
At the Tewksbury investigation Doctors
Shattuck and Folsom confirmed yesterdays
testimoney relating to infants bodies and DR..
Dixwelfs reputation for varacity. Brown
again asked the governor if he would with
draw Dixwell's statements as part of the tes-
timony. but he declined 10 do so.
DIR. Folsom said as secretary and member
of the old board OF health, he was familiar
with Tewksbury, and pronounced its condit
ion in 1879 equal to that of similar institu-
tions in Europe. He thought there was room
for improvement. He had made no investi-
CATION as to the cause of the large death rate
among the children at Tewksbury between
1872 and 1873. which commonly esti-
mated at so or 90 out of 100. With proper
care, food and treatment this mortality might
have been prevented. Children of well to-do
parents had more likelihood of life than those
of poor parents on account of receiving bet
ter care. The present board when he was
member had discussed the condition of af
fairs at Tewksbu-y, but as far as he had
known, no vote had been passad. The
boards suggestions to its executive officers
had been carried out.

The killing of NIrs. StOddard.

The tragic death of Maria c. Stoddard,
wife of the Rev. DIR. f. L. Stoddard, rector
of st. Johns Episcopal Church on Summit
ave., Jersey City, is still a leading topic of
interest in the community in which she lived.
The conflicting stories told of the manner in
which the woman came to her death have
caused considerable comment, more especial
ly as they come from people in the house
who were supposed to know the facts. The
statement first made that Mrs. Stoddard
accidentally struck the pistol with a dusting
brush is obviously inaccurate, as the bullet
entered the back of her head and taking a
horizontal direction lodged directly back of
the frontal bone near the left eve. If the
pistol had fallen on the floor, as was stated.
the bullet would have Saken an upward
direction. When Police Captain McKaig
went to the house he was informed that DIR
Stoddard was standing on a step-ladder and
that when his wife handed him the pistol he
slipped. causing the pistol to be discharged.
DIR. Stoddard himself stated to County
Physician Converse that his wife was kueel-
ing on the floor in front of a drawer when
she handed him the pistol. He took it and in
turning around the explosion occurred in
some unaccountable manner. The funeral
which was arranged for yesterday afternoon.
was postponed until this afternoon at the
suggestion Of DR.. Converse. and the remains
will be taken to Boston for interment. There
10 not the slightest suspicion Of foul play,
and if it were not for the conflicting state
ments made it is not at all probable that an
inquest would have been ordered. The in
quest will be begun this morning in DIR.
St0ddard's house in order that the statements
Of those who wish to attend the funeral NAV
be taken.-N 7. Tsi5pne, Wednesday,

makes no reference to organic revision of the
