Middlesex.--On Wednesday, October Sth
a terrible accident occurred on the Union
Pacific railroad by which George l.. Cham
berlin, native of this town, son of the late
A. l.. Chamberln and nephew of Enos
Stiles and o. A. Chamberlin, met with
horrible death at Elkhorn, Neb, about
twenty-five miles west of Omaha. From an
Omaha paper we learn the following par
ticuars: Mr.. Chamberln was an engineer
and left Omaha on the above date about nine
A. NJ, with his train of thirty-siX freight
cars bound westward. At Elkhorn Creek,
where the road makes a rapid descent and a
sharp curve, he was met by a wild engine
which was not discovered until within a few
feet. The crash was terrible, causing his
engine and tender to double upwardly and
falling back caught the legs of both Cham
berlin and his fireman, holding them like
wise, from which no human effort could re-
lease them. They were literally roasted to
death. Perfectly conscious of their situa-
ton, they met their terrible death with
hardly a murmur. Chamberlin lived about
fifteen minutes and his fireman nearly an
hour. Mr.. Chamberlin was about thirty
three years of age, leaves a wife and three
children. He was held in high esteem by
his employers and associates was member
of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engi-
neers and member of Capital Lodge, No
3, f. & A. NJ, of Omaha, who took charge
of his burial. His life was insured for
$1,000 The fireman of the wild engine ]"
had both legs taken off and died the next
day. - A singing-school, under the in
struction of Willis II. Gale, will be COM
menced at this village ON Saturday evening

bage without the disagrceablc odor of
cooking filling nearly every room in
the house. The plan is very simple
and effective. Place piece OF old

person who suggested the plan after
you have tried it.
