Barre seems to be enjoying monopoly
in the line of town meetings, having held
its third one last Thursday, in which it
elected, A. NJ Jackman, constable and
collector, and voted to light the street
lamps. The fact that the town meeting
business is being overdone was indicated
by very small attendance.

The fast express from Boston was de-
layed several hours Thursday afternoon
by an accident at East Granville station.
1t seems that freight train bound south
had been doing work at the station, and
when it left the main line to wait for the
express north switch was left misplaced
The coming express was consequently
thrown from the track, collding with
freight cars standing on the side track,
and sending one into the depot-a building
used as Il depot and hotel combined.
Engineer Buck and his fireman stuck to
their posts. The former was badly sprained
and Jared, but fortunately is not seriously
hurt. The latter escaped unhurt. A
Mrs Spaulding, who stood on the platform
OF the depot, had leg broken and was
pretty thoroughly shocked. 1t was at
first feared that her injuries were fatal,
but this morning she was more comforta-
bic and will doubtless recover. Tho
engine and tho baggage and mail cars
were damaged to some extent, and the
building also. Fortunately none of the
passengers were injured, and the record
of tho road in this respect was not marred.
The passengers. mail and baggage were
cwred by, and the track was cleared by
midnight.
