Terrible Accident on the Old COL
Ony Railroad.

The train which was wrecked Tues
1ey +l>o oord or tho Old Colony roll
road, near Quincy, Mass, was the
Woods Holl express, which left Woods
Holl at 1880 a. m, and was due in
Boston 1:30 p. m. 1t consisted of a
baggage car, a smoker, and Pullman
car Puritan, and four ordinary
coaches heavily loaded. The train
passed Quincy station at II :37p. M,
running at about 10 miles an hour
and just beyond the presidents
bridge about an eighth of a mile to-
wards Boston the engine left the
track and plunged into an embank-
ment II feet high. One of the pas
senger coaches was overturned upon
the engine and escaping steam filled
the car, terribly scalding the occu-
pants, u persons being killed or dy-
ing from their wounds and % seri-
ously injured, while hundreds of
others sustained hurts of more or
less severity. The Goals of the engine
set fire to the wreck, but a general
confiagration was prevented by the
prompt assistance of the Quincy fire
department Skilled surgeons were
soon on the scene and the wounded
were removed to the Quincy hospital.
Among the victims were Mr.. and Mrs
Z. p. johnson and their eight-year-
old son, of Montpelier.
Only three persons on the train
ahead of the car were injured. These
were the fireman, who was instantly
killed and buried under the debris
the engineer, who jumped from the
engine and was only slightly hurt
the pullman car conductor, who had
his right ear nearly cut off by being
thrown out of the window of his car
The three rear passenger ears did
not leave the track and the passen-
gers received no worse injury than a
slight shaking up. Car 236 was the
principal scene of death and agony
and the experience of the unlucky
occupants was never exceeded in hor-
ror and suffering in any railroad
wreck of recent years.
The Investigations point to the
leaving of a track jack between the
rails by the section hands as the
cause of the disaster. The curve in
the road at this point is very abrupt
and the men had barely time to get
out of the way themselves, the jack
being overlooked in their haste. The
finding of the jack at some distance
from the track among some bushes,
and bearing the marks of the ear
wheels, points to this solution.

Next Tuesday.

The Republicans of Lamoille COun-
ty ought to roll up large majority
for their ticket next Tuesday. Two
of her citizens-one for Governor and
the other for Representative to Cong
ress-are to be voted for. For the
first time in the history of the county
does an instance of this kind occur,
and it will doubtless inspire the vot-
ers of Spunky Lamoille" to get out
a big vote for their worthy sons.
The county ticket is also well made
up; every man on it merits the undi-
vided support of the party, and not
withstanding this is an "off year "
we have every reason to believe that
the Republicans of this county will
give a good account of themselves
next week.

A letter from a city boarder in
Stowe strongly protests against the
use of the brooks and rivers for saw
mill refuse, and puts in a plea for the
maintenance of the berry bushes and
ferns along the road We give an
extract herewith
The farmers here still continue to leave the
tall weeds and thistles in their fields, and to
slash down the ferns and raspberry bushes ON
the edges of the road. And wonder whether
it is nobody's business that all the saw-mills
are allowed to shovel their sawdust into the
brooks and rivers. 1t destroys the rivers,
and is such recklessly wasteful thing, to
the sawdust which should be utilized for fuel
or bedding or even be burned and used for
manure. Maine is very ahead of Vermont in
this particular, for she has a law and carries
it out.
In this connection We would call
49,. y sA.S, sasASs :, a lstAAsl
Roads . from the New York Evening
Post, which we publish elsewhere. 1t
is a fact that our public highways
and drives are too much neglected.
Money enough is expended on them,
but not applied in the right way.
Trim up the hedges and bushes
make them attractive, and, where
necessary, thin out. But do not cut
them out entirely and destroy all
shade and beauty along the road.
Make our drives pleasant and they
will induce more travel and, as a re
suit, produce more business.

Hunting for Cardiff.

A former Belfaster, now a resident
of Atlanta, Ga, says that during the
Cardiff boom a friend in the North
wanted him to 90 to Cardiff and in
vest if he saw favorable Opportuni-
ty. He thereupOn packed his grip
one morning and presented himselfat
the railroad ticket office. "Ticket
to Cardiff, please" said the man.
Z" Where?" asked the official "Why,
Cardiff "Where in thunder is Car
diff" asked the astOnished official
Il don't know" replied the would be
ticket purchaser Railroad maps were
consulted, but Cardiff could not be
found. At last a travelling man was
found who placing his finger on an
imaginary spot on the map said, at
is right there" Could | find good ac-
commodations there should | arrive
in the night timer" asked the man.
"Y-e-s," said the traveller, Il guess
you could, they put up a large tent
last week. The seeker for wealth at
Cardiff took his grip and went back
home. Cardiff, Tenn, is better known

that the summer boarder comes to

that the summer bOarder comes to

A fortunate thing it will be for the
farmer when he learns the money
value of beauty. 1t is not strange
that in the hard New England life he
should not carefor beauty FORTS own
sake; but that he should not know
how to make it pay shows that his
ruling sense is tabled; that his intelli-
gence is Overrated on the particular
score where it is supposed to be most
leading This is perhaps because the
relations of beauty to income arenOt
taught in the commOn-schOOl arith-
metics, and the New England farmer
appears to learn nothing after he
leaves school. 1t would be well for
the great Book Trust tOinclude in it's
next arithmetic designed for New
England some examples based on the
facts that in Vermont, this year, fine
butter has sold at retail for fifteen
cents pound, while the summer
boarder will bring in on the average
perhaps a dollar pound. But it
must be explained that the dollar
may be had only by ministering to
the sense of beauty New York Ev-

Lotteries.

About all the papers throughout
the land agree that President Harrl-
son was more than justified in his
special message to Congress concern
ing this swindle, and scarce any oil
them have word to say against the
bill, which has now passed the house
and gone to the senate, forbidding
the U. S. mail privileges to any lot
terry company orits agents. One pa
per in Louisiana makes a plea with
crocodile tears on account OF the pow
ertv of the state and the sad cOndi-
ton of its public charities GU and
puts on special virtue therefore as an
abettor of the lottery. Another,
farther North, tries to show that il
the post-office department must all
at once become so very moral, 1T
ought to forbid mail privileges to the
stock exchange and the bucket shops,
in which special plea they may not
be so far out of the way. But it re-
mains true, however, that the said
bill was introduced into congress for
almost six months, and was quietly
resting in the pigeon-hole until the
uneasiness of the country called it
forth. Several papers asked why, and
limited that there was "a silent part
ner of the Louisiana lottery some
where about the Capital" But new
ertheless the bill will receive prompt
attention In the senate and in all
probability now become a law.
The story comes to us, and its
truthfulnesS is vouched for, that
years ago there was a man in this
state who performed all good things,
but was always sadly "out OF
change" At length in a fit of indig-
nation at the complaint of his sons
he had a neighbor appointed his
guardian. Said neighbor tried in all
ways to get out of the job, but the
BOYS persuaded him to accept it.
Almost Immediately the leak was dis
covered in a package of lottery adj
vertisements, ticket or two and a
letter directed appropriately to New
Orleans. which the guardian had to
stamp. Never was q drinking man
more cunning or persistent in indulg-
ing his appetite than this man was to
be gin" every drawing of that dis
tant lottery 1t had cost him hun
dreds of dollars, and he had received
just small prizes enough to keep him
well baited.
1t is to be hoped that when the
bill becomes "a law it will prove a
strong check to that class who
have become beguiled by the be-
witching influences of lottery schemes,
and that it will cause to be kept at
home money which is in many cases
sadly needed for use in the family.

The Boston Record of Saturday
gives the following account of the
funeral:
In the little stone chapel, at theentTance to
the Forest Hills cemetery, was held the fun
eral service over the remains of E. c. Bailey,
a victim of the Quincy disaster, this morning
The service was simple but impressive, con-
Quoted according to the ritual of the Episco-
pal church, by Rev. Mr.. Fielding of Quincy, a
friend of the Bailey family. Appropriate pas
sages from the Scriptures were read and a
touching prayer offered, and the sad obse-
quies were over. Resting on the casket were
several floral tributes, among them beauti-
full pillow of white roses with the inscription,
9 Rest"
After the services at the chapel the body
was removed to the vault in the cemetery,
where it will rest until removed TO the native
town of the deceased at Hopkinton, N. II.
At the cemetery the burial service was read
and prayer offered. Some IS relatives and
friends of the deceased were in attendance.
The son, W. p Bailey of Stowe, VT. entered
the chapel with Mrs. Bailey's sister resting on
his arm and with them was g. &. Bailey, a
nephew of the deceased. Among the others
present were those who have been Mr.. Bailey s
associates in life. Col. c. II. Taylor and F,
A. Whiting represented the Globe and Herald
respectively, and j. l.. Adams, John Lewis
and ii. l.. Champlain represented the clerks
