A Frightful Railroad Accident.

A terrible accident occurred last week
Wednesday night on the narrow gauge rail
road in Windham county. The scene of the
accident is one mile from Brattleboro, at the
mouth of West river, where combination
of iron and wooden bridge two hundred feet
long spanned the stream sixty feet above
the water, and which broke under the weight
of mixed train consisting of six flat, two
box and one passenger and baggage cars all
of which went down with the bridge, burying
the engineer, II. a. Smith of st. Albans
under the locomotive in fifteen feet of water
The train was loaded with granite, lumber
and smaller freight, all of which is COM
plete wreck in the river The passenger
and two box cars went down some thirty
five feet with the trestle-work, which was
anchored to pier at the north end of the
bridge. Among the passengers seriously
injured were the following: j. j. Green,
station agent at Newfane, internally in
jured, and has since died; E. NJ. Butler,
station agent at Wardsboro, spinal injury,
recovery doubtful A. B. Ashley, station
agent at West Dummerston, compound frac-
ture of right leg; Michael O'Connors, brake
man, leg broken and head cut (his condition
is criticaD; Mrs. Hildreth of Hinsdale, n.
H.. two ribs broken, her husband cut
about the head. Ned Prentiss, fireman,
who went down with the engine, mi
raculOusly escaped injured by crawling
through the cab window after the engine
was submerged. The body of Engineer
Smith was recovered next day and sent to
White River Junction. He leaves a wife
and three children. An investigation is in
progress. Superintendent Brooks said the
bridge had been carefully inspected and
cared for. Freight cars carried as a rule
from five to ten tons each, but sometimes
contrary to his orders, shippers had loaded
cars with even sixteen tons. He could give
no cause for the accident.

prove strong inducement to lovers of
pleasure to attend the excursion, and all
who can possibly do so ought to 90. The
train, returning, will leave Newport at 4; 10
p. NJ, arriving in Montpelier at 500 o'clock
in the evening.
MIRROR LAKE, Berlin, has presented a
lively scene the past week, there having
been over three hundred people on its sur
face and shores in one day, and small parties
arecamping in different localities. At Camp
Lookout there have been over hundred
visitors and several permanent additions
during the week. Among them we notice
the names of j. Elliot Smith, superintendent
of fire-alarm telegraphs of New York city,
whose family have been in camp for two
weeks; Mrs. Park Gibson of New York.

Mr.. HARRY LOWE, of the firm of Henry
Lowe Il Son, has during the past week made
a test of a new apparatus for electric light
ing, and one which seems to have much in
its favor. 1t consists of a small dynamo re-
Gently invented and at present manufac-
tured by Messrs Kimball & Davis of Bos-
ton, whose object was to produce a ma
chine for use in connection with small or
isolated "pants," and one which they
might sell outright to such as care to pur-
chase. One was set up in the bakery
| Thursday evening, under the direct super
vision of one of the manufacturers, and the
way in which it worked gave entire salts
faction and melted much interest among
those who witnessed its operation. Mr..
Lowe will give it further test with smaller
motor, and if this should also prove success
full will doubtless use it permanently in
connection with plants at the store and at
his residence. He believes it to be the
cheapest means of lighting by electricity,
and his reasoning to prove this is certainly
interesting and worth hearing whatever
may be the facts in the case.

Obituary..

LORENZO c. GRANDY who died in New
port August 9th, was born in Fayston in
April, 1888, and was the eldest son of Calvin
Grandy, who added much to the growth
and social welfare of that town. In early
life Lorenzo showed natural business tact,
which led him from the home farm and
started him in business as peddler. He
afterwards formed partnership with the
late Judge Richardson of Waitsfeld and
carried on mercantile business at the store
of Judge Richardson in Irasville Waits
field. Since that time he had been actively
engaged in the lumber business at Brown
ington, Barton Landing, South Barton,
LyndonVille and Newport, giving employ
ment to a large number of men and adding
largely to the business of each locality.
Three years ago he moved to Newport and
was largely instrumental in forming the
International Company and erecting the
large mills at West Derby. For two years
Mr. Grandy was the business manager OF
that large industry, from which he retired a
few months ago only to engage in another
enterprise, the Derby Manufacturing Com
pany, of which he was president. Work
had been commenced on their new mill, and
Mr.. Grandy was holding a pile in place with
an iron bar when the hammer of the ma
chine fell, driving the pile deeper than Mr.
Grandy expected and striking one end OF
the bar which he was holding, the other end
striking him a heavy blow under the left
ear. In reply to inquiries, he said he
" thought he should be all right, but it was 6
terrible blow" He walked away a few feet
al Shen sank to the ground unconscious
He was taken to his home and although al
that medical skill and kind friends could d,
was done for him, he never fully regaineC
| consciousness, but passed into the hands of {
! just God and Father on Monday morning
| just five days from the time he received tn,
injury. Mr.. Grandy was an active business
man, a kind and obliging neighbor and
public-spirited citizen. He was a prominen
Good Templar and labored earnestly for th
good of the order. He leaves a widow
daughter of the late John Chandler Griggs
Esq, of Fayston), three sons and two daugh
ters, who have the sympathy of all in thi
sad and sudden bereavement.

AT about half-past eleven o'clock last
Saturday night Mr.. Ezekiel Skinner was
awakened by the lowing of his cattle, and
on going out discovered that his barn was
in flames. On reaching il he found nine ofhis
ten cows dead, they having been sutfocated,
but the flames had not reached them. One
was in pen where she could get the air
from an open window and he succeeded in
driving her out. They were all very valu-
able, being of the Jersey breed. All of the
hay, threshed grain, one horse, two large
shotes and some of his farming tools were
consumed: Mr.. skinner is of the opinion
that the fire was caused by spontaneous
combustion, he having put in some hay
which was rather green Loss estimated at
5000; insured for 500 in the Union Mutual

the sympathy of his friends and neighbors.
