their best mechanic; faithful, efficient
and competent for any work he was
called upon to do. He worked at the
Lyndonville car shops for a short
time previous to his last engagement
with the Hookers. On July 1, 1886,
he married Addie E., only daughter
OF George r. Crosby of this place.
He leaves besides his wife, little bov
10 months old, father and mother
and other relatives. He was a prom
1nent member of the Baptist church
on Railroad street where his loss will
be deeply felt. His home was in Sum-
mervllle, but in June last he bought
the Charles Ramsay place in Paddock
village and was intending to occupy
1T next April. He carried an accident
policy of $500 but no life insurance.
His death is a peculiarly sad one as
his wife has been almost helpless
from paralysis since the birth of her
child, over a year and half ago The
shock to the immediate relatives, who
have repeatedly and recently been
brought into deep grief, is a severe
one and the sympathy of the entire
community extended to them. Mr..
COmStOck's death removes a kind
husband, skilled mechanic, a devot-

RAILROAD ACCIDENT AT PAS
SUMPSIC.
DIR. j. X. Nelson Badly Hurt.

DIR. j. X. Nelson Badly Hurt.
The caboose belonging to the wa
freight was struck by the engine c
the through freight train Saturda
afternoon at the cut just below tn
village of Passumpsic Drs T. X
Stiles and ]. r. Nelson of this plac
were in the caboose and the latte
was badly hurt having his right ma
lar or check bone crushed and the ey,
socket broken.
The way freight parted just below
Passumpsic to shift cars and the ca
boose with several cars was left or
the main track in the sharp curve at
the gravel pit just below the bridge
at the village. A brakeman was
sent back to flag the through freight
which he claims he did, even throw
ing the flag at the approaching train
as last resort. The engineer of the
through freight claims that he did
not see the flagman. 1t is said the
f1agman left the track and climbed
an elevation near by, and by so do
ing the engineer of the on-coming
train did not see him. When the
through freight approached the
curve and the cars were seen ahead
both engineer and fireman Jumped
from the cab. The brakeman in the
caboose hearing noise opened the
door and jumped without warning
the Others of the approaching danger.
The locomotive struck the caboOse
under full head of steam, and the
noise, says DR.. Nelson, was like a
clap of thunder" Neither of the doc
tors can tell what happened to them.
DIR. Stiles was somewhat dazed, but
noticed a lameneSS about his arm,
that his hat was crushed and his fur
Overcoat singed. DR.. Nelson recalls
seeing DIR. Stiles place his medicine
case on platform car, though a few
minutes afterwards DR.. Stiles was
searching for it to get some Stimulant
for his brotherphysician. DIR. Nelson
was discovered bleeding and badly
hurt about the face AS soon as
could be he was brought to his home
in this place. In the evening a con-
of physicians developed the
TACT that the malar bone was driven
into the hollow of the mouth |
and the eye socket broken The
check bone is one of the strongest in |
he whole body and DR.. Nelson
links he must have been thrown
against the iron railing of the ca
'oose- His seal skin cap was jammed
lOwn over his eye and probably pro-
ected the eye by acting as cushion.
The damage to the rolling stock
vas very slight and the trains were
'nly delayed about 80 minutes. A
train soon cleared the
rack and both the freights came
long as soon as the track was clear
d. The accident would have been
n unlmpOrtant one had it not in
1red the passengers in the caboose.
DIR. Nelson has been a constant suf-
,rer ever since the accident and at
resent writing Thursday morning)
e is reported to be no better. He
as suffered intensely both day and
light with pain in the back which
TOuld indicate a conclusion of the
pine. The facial bones are beginning
heal, and were it not for the spinal
-ouble he would be slowly recover )
