BELLOWS FALLS.

A very narrow escape from what
might have been terrible accident
occurred Saturday. As the White
Mountain Express was running at
full speed it collided or run into
freight train near Springfield station,
going straight through the three
freight cars, and wonderful to relate
no one was seriously injured. 1t
seems the freight train had got STALL
ed on the track and they sent back a
tlagman to flag the express, but for
some reason neither the engineer,
George Blake, nor his fireman, saw
the flagman, although he made every
effort possible to attract their atten-
ton, even throwing the flag into the
engine as it passed him. The fire.
man jumped when they did see their
danger, but Blake stuck to his en-
CINE. The freight cars were OF course
demolished and the engine to the ex-
press badly battered; but the train
didn't leave the track and a bad
fright was the worst the passengers
experienced.
News is scarce. Nearly everybody
is out of town and what remain are
busy keeping either hot or cold to
meet the extreme changes in the
weather.

means entertaining and instructive. Ev-
cry one who is a member should bear in
mind that he or she is expected to be pres

unless it is absolutely necessary to be abb

none, and full attendance, without
true spirit of the occasion manifested, is
worse than no attendance al all.
