Possibly Fatal Accident.


About one O'Clock Wednesday
morning A. ]. Kittridge, who runs a
grocery and billiard room, met with
a severe and possibly fatal accident.
1t seems that he kept open unusually
late Tuesday night. After blowing
out the light in the billiard room he
started up stairs, when he fell and
stunned himself, breaking his lantern,
spilling the oil and burning himself
severely. He would probably have
persisted if his son Claude, about seven
years of age, had not heard fall and
ran down and found his father in
flames. Hegot a pail of water, dash
ed it on his father and started out in
his night clothes and barefooted and
alarmed the dancers next door who
Immediately went to the help of the
unfortunate man. Medical aid was
summoned as quick as possible. He
suffers severely but hopes are enter
tanned of his recovery

PEACHAM,
Death of Asa Sergeant.

DedtH OF asa odISedHI.
Asa Sergeant of Peacham Hollow,
died Feb s, aged 80 He was born
in Danville, March IS, 1907. On
Feb. %, 1880, he married Jane Neal
ley of Monroe, Maine. To them were
born seven children, five of whom
still are living: Mrs. M. S. Hidden
and Mrs. F. E. Palmer of Peacham,
Mrs. Blanchard, widow of the late
p V. Blanchard of San Francisco,
Joseph, of Louisville, KY, and Fran
els E. of Butte City, Montana. His
Mr.. Sargeant's character deserves
more than passing notice. He was
scrupulously honest, "diligent in
business, fervent in spirit, serving the
Lord" His modesty was so great
as sometimes to become fault, lead
ing him to undervalue himself and
his work. Although he had held all
the offices of trust in the town and
twice represented it in the Legisla
ture, the place always sought him,
and not he the place. For twenty
years he was chorister in the choir of
the Congregational church, and he
probably did more for the cause of
music than any other man of this
town BY trade he was a tanner
and the quality of his leather had
widespread reputation He started
in the world with nothing but his
two hands, industry and honesty
and the competence which enabled
him to spend his last days in comfort
was solely the result of his own toll.
In 1868 he sold his tannery and for
the past few years lived a retired
life. The funeral was attended Sun
day, Rev Mr. Mckenzie officiating

PRESS COMMENTS.
Like Father, Like Son.

Doubtless disappointment that st.
Johnsbury was not chosen accounts
for this bitterness, and the state
ment telegraphed the city papers
from there that 1.-THE Governor APP
pointed Commissioners favorable to
thelocation at Waterbury, his home"
indicates that the disappointed ones
think Gov. William p Dillingham; is
"a chip of the old block" The story
goes that when eX-Gov. Paul Dilling
ham was in the active and success
full practice of law he had a sharply
contested case before a justice of
Waterbury that lasted long into the
night. The matter was stoutly
fought, and after the arguments were
made the justice turned to the cOun
sci with the remark, Il will consider
this case until tomorrow forenoon,
and then, Squire Dillingham;, l will
decide as you and l talked in the
woodshed." This the st. .Johnsbury
people think is the theory upon which
this location was heard and decided,
though they are of the opinion that
the senior Governor paid more atten-
ton to the form of deliberatiOn than
the junior Governor seems to have
done. But eff 'twere well 'twere
done, 'twere well 'twere done quick
ly." If not, why not ?-[ Montpelier
Argus.
1t Was Not the Price of Sand.
The commissioners to locate the
new insane asylum have fixed upon
Waterbury as the most eligible town
for the purpose. The reason given is
that the land would cost less there
than in any of the other places offered.
If this was the only consideration
entering into the question the de-
cision would be a wise one. We fear
ST. Johnsbury, Morrisville, Burling-
ton, and the other places which made
a bid for the building will think the
mind of the commission was made

A BAD WRECK,
ON THg c., l.. & ". ROAD, YESTERDAY
MORNING,
Two Trains Collide One Man Instantly Killed
and Four Others Badly Wounded, One Perhaps
Fatally-Ths Cause No! Certainly Known.

An awful accident occurred yesterday
morning on the Cleveland, Lorain and
Wheeling railroad, by the collision of two
freight trains near Finishing, Belmont
county. The engineer of one train was
killed and four OF five other trainmen we're
injured.
The trains collided about $3.50 o'clock
yesterday morning. A north bound freight
and a south b)und construction train met
on the same track at curve a little dis
lance this ride of Flushing There is a
side track at this point, but there was no
Waterman.
Ga the north bound train were Engineer
A. P. Myers and Conductor George Cor
don; and on the south bound train were
Engineer c. Bsese and Conductor j. Page.
The trains met at the curve while both
we're under a full head OF steam. Beese
and Page jumped and thereby saved their
lives. As il wac, Beese had one of his
legs bSOke0 il two places aud tue heel
pierced by large silver of wood The
nature Of Pages irjaries colld 70: be
learned, but he is said to be seriously in
juTed. Had Beeze and Page remained on
their train only miracle could have saved
their lives. The men on the other train did
not fare 20 we'll Engineer Myers was in
stantly killed, almost every bone in his
body being broken. David Pedlow, fire.
man, whose home ia in Rayenna, was bad
ly injured; as was also George Gordon, who
resides in Bridgeport IL ia thought that
all the injured men will recover. although
the extent of their irj1ries cannot yet be
ascertained One OF the men who wac
hurt had deep cash id his forehead and
one Of his eyes gouged out.
None Of the men on the north bound
train had sufficient warning even to jump
from the engine. The collision occurred
almost before they knew it. Engineer A.
P. Meyers was about fifty years old, and
leaves a wife and children. His home is
in the northern part OF Ohio, near Cleve-
land. He had formerly worked on the
Cleveland and Pittsburg railroad, ard had
only been running on the G, l. & w. for
three OF four weeks.
The side track was made by use CT by
passenger trains and not much time Was
lost The cause of the acc dent could not
be positively learned, bat the theory which
seems most plausible is that the construc-
tion train was running on the freigbt's
time, and it is presumed thst this was
forgotten by The train men, and they thus
neglected TO stop at Finishing, as they
should; or remembering their time, they
had hoped to make thu next siding before
the fteight arrived, fatal error Of judg
ment.
Beese's condition, it was learned last
night, is very critical, end be may not re-
cover.
Page and B .ese are very old employees OF
the road, always proving Trustworthy and
accurate.
