The Londonderry sifter. (South Londonderry, Vt.) 1883-19??, 1889-05-02

We have quite favorable reports of
Mr.. W. L. Gibson's candidacy for
Supervisor of Schools from different
parts of the county. After a most
careful consideration of the matter
we find no reason to change the opin-
ion expressed two weeks ago. 1t is
hardly probable that more thorough
ly practical man can be found to fill
this position.
We beg to suggest for considera-
ton the fact, that will appear self ev-
ident upon mature thought, that the
schools of the county that most need
supervision and fostering care are
among the country districts. 1t will
not be the schools of Brattleboro or
Bellows Falls that will require county
supervision. The natural school re-
quirements and the facilities afforded
to meet them by the population, in
telligence and wealth Of these places
put them above any such superinten-
dency. But these advantages are
not and cannot be possessed by the
country district; hence, in the selec-
ton Of Supervisor reference should
be had, almost solely, to the wants
of our smaller schools. Now to do
this it will be necessary to choose a
man thoroughly acquainted with COM
mon everyday people, their habits
and ways and, consequently, we'll
versed as TO the needle of their schools.
1t will little matter WHETHER he has a
smattering or full measure of Greek
and Latin or none at /, so far as
the needs of our common schools are
concerned. But that he possess a
practical everyday knowledge born
of experience will be altogether essen
tial. That Mr.. Gibson is abundant
ly equipped in this latter requirement
is evidenced by his fifteen years of
superintendency of the schools of
Londonderry.
We ask the Board to give these
claims an intelligent consideration,
not doubling but the result will be
satisfactory to the people and tend to
the prosperity of our schools.

A TERRIBLE RAILWAY HORROR.
At Hamilton Ontario-Is charrcd Rod
les taken from the Burned Debris.

Another railway horror is to be adj
ded to the long list Of like causalties
that have occurred in the past few
years. This one took place early
Sunday morning near Hamilton, On
tario. The following in regard to it
is taken from press dispatches:
The train was composed of an
engine, two baggage cars, smoker,
a Ikicago and Grand Trunk through
passenger coach, a Wabash coach, a
Wagner iirst-class coach, Pullman
car and two Wagner sleeping cars
There were l25 passengers including
Detroit militia on the way to New
YORK. The accident occurred at a
junction where 'sY" is built and
was caused byslippery tracks, steep
grade and curve.
The train wheeled the first curve in
safety and passed the switch on the
embankment, but its momentum was
too great to enable it to round the
second curve. 1t jumped the track
and bolted straight into the water
tank at the apex of the "'Y." The
engine left the rails 1875 feet from the
tank and rushed across the interven-
ing space like flash, and struck the
tank with such force as to stave it to
pieces, while the 10000 gallons of
water rushed down the bank to the
marsh beneath.
The locomotive turned upside down
while the tender leaped over it and
landed among the debris of the tank.
The leading baggage car shot past on
the south side and alighted wheelless,
shattered, box. The next baggage
car mounted the coal pile ON the north
side. The smoking car banged. a.
gainst the upturned engine, while the
day coach that followed telescoped
into it with hideous results. The
next three cars were checked by
plowing in the deep sandy soil aud
came to stand, uninjured, the two
sleepers remaining on the track.
IEDEsCRIBABLE HORRORS.
| Amid the escaping steam and blind
| ling rain the seseams of the inbred
arose flom the awful mound of de-
bris. Thc survivors worked like he
roes, and in a short time removed
about a dozen from the wreck but
the flames leaped out, driving back
the already half-stihed rescuers. A
bove the noise of the escaping steam
could be heard the frenzied voices,
shrieking in the burning ruins, and
a woman's voice rose high above the
rest for few moments, screaming
with pain, and then was stilled.
SEARCHING FOR BODIES.
About two o'clock in the afternoon
the flames were so far extinguished
as to permit search being made for
the bodies and up to five o'clock 1S
were found blackened and charred
out of all semblance of humanity.
CAN NEVER BE KNOWN.
1t will probably never be known
how many or who were the victims of
the accident, as the bodies in many
cases were burned to an unrecognizable
mass. l.. $. Gurney of Brooklyn,
N. Y. had his head completely sew
cred from his body. Rudolphe Deer
er, residence unknown, was also in
stantly killed. About twenty per
sons were more or less injured, be-
sides the dead. The Detroit Infant
ry escaped without injury to any Of
its members.
