AnteIopes, Race with a Train.

"Last week." said C. H. Buckingham,
81 was aboard the Santa Fe train coming
from Topeka to Pueblo. At point in the
desert somewhere this side of Great Bend,
Kansas, we noticed a band of antelopes
racing alongside of us between the train
and the Arkansas river. The track and
the river run almost parallel, and for a
dozen miles or so there was the finest race
possible to imagine.
"a number of passengers got out on the
platform with revOlvers and others raised
the windows and shot at them. There was
a regular fusillade. At the same time the
engine put on steam. The antelopes flew
on the wings of the wind. Such graceful
running never saw before, There were
eight in the band. They were all large
and strong, and l thought for awhile they
would outrun the locomotive.
"They ran evenly and regularly. The
shooting continued, and though none of
them was hit, the bullets knocked the dirt
away close around them. We thought we
would finally wind them, as things of blood
and muscle are not supposed to be able to
compete with steel and steam. But they
held out like the engine. We were wonder
ing if they would ever tire, when bend in
the river to the south doomed up. When
they got to it the wild antelopes swept
round it, and followed the course of the
Arkansas, while we, tied to the rails,
bowled west towards the Rocky mountains
AS far as we could see, that band of ante
lopes, never firing one whit, were going
like long lines of tawny gray towards the
south. San Francisco Examiner.

In a Railroad Wreck.
Prof. Emerson of Amherst College and
Four Others Killed.

Three persons were killed outright, two
fatally injured, and 25 more or less seri-
ously injured in a railroad wreck on the
Lake Shore and Michigan Southern rail-
road at Lindsey, Ohio, eight miles west of
Fremont, Saturday night. The express
train, consisting of a locomotive, baggage
car, two express cars, three coaches and
five sleepers, was passing freight train on
a side track and ran into the engine of the
freight. The engine was wrecked and the
cars crushed. The scene that followed the
collision was heartrending. The groans Of
the dying, the shrieks of the injured and
the kissing of escaping steam combined to
give horror to the scene. Work was at
once begun to render aid to the injured
and those who were imprisoned in the
ruins.
P. LaffeIty, engineer of the freight train !;
Chas. Spane, brakeman of the freight; and
Robertson, the colored porter of one of
the sleepers, were instantly killed, their
bodies being frightfully mangled. Prof.
Emerson of Amherst college and A. Ham
ilton of Pttsburg were fatally injured, the
former having his chest crushed. Two of
the porters we're injured internally. All
the members of the Chicago base ball
team, who were in one of the sleepers, were
bruised, Kittredge, the catcher, and Ryan,
outfelder, being quite seriously injured.
Prof. Emerson was one of the best pro-
fessors of Amherst college. He was born
in Nashua, n. H., in 1910, graduated
at Amherst in 1865, studied in Germany a
few years, and in 1872 was made professor
of geology and zoology in Amherst, his
chair being changed in 1888 to that OF
mineralogy and geology-the department
lifted to high rank by the late President
Hitchcock. Prof Emerson's wife was
Mary A., daughter of Erastus Hopkins OF
Northampton. She is left with several
children.
Later.-Prof. Emerson is still living and
hopes are entertained of his recovery.

to decide whether Sheriff Hurlbut of
| Grafton county, Y. H., the man who hung
Almy, was legally elected to the office of
sheriff. The claim has been made that a
recount of the voters in that county show
ed him to be defeated by a small majority.
Murde Mcleod, a quarryman at work
for the Empire Granite company at Barre,
was blown % feet out of the quarry one
day last week by the premature explosion
of blast which he was firing. Mcleod
landed on his feet 25 feet away, uncon-
scious, nearly skinned, and with his body
shot full of sand, steel and bits of granite.
He will recover, but his escape from death
was miraculous, as he was standing over
the blast when it exploded.
Cornelius w. Clark, for many years
prominent lawyer at Chelsea, who died at
that place recently, was born in Barnard
in 1928 and was admitted to the bar in
1S49. He was register of probate for
Randolph district in 1S4S-40, county clerk
of Orange county in 1854, and from 1858
to 1878 he appeared in nearly all the i'm
portant cases tried in Orange county. He
was always Democrat, and was repeated
ly the candidate of his party for different
offices.
c. E. Tayntor 81 Co., the largest dealers
at Barre, discharged 30 granite cutters Fri
day, and it is reported that another large
firm is about to discharge 30 cutters.
Dealers say that enough work can be had,
but collections are poor Seventy-five
granite dealers from Quincy, Mass, visited
Barre Friday and were entertained by
Barre dealers. They inspected the works

THE NEWS IN BRIEF.
Nine Drowned


IN Yachting Accident on Lake Georg.
The steam yacht Rachel SINK FRIDAY
night on Lake George. She had % snm.
mer guests on board, nine of whom were
drowned. The little steamer was cbortor
ed by party of guests of the Fourteen
Mile Island House. Claude Granger. an
inexperienced pilot, had charge of the boat
The night was dark and Granger cot foo
iar out OF the channel when going past the
ola piers that supported the original dock
south OF the Hundred Island House, struck
the pier and stove large hole in the bot
tom OF the boat. The passengers scarcely
knew what had happened, before the boat
nlled with water. The ladies on board
were laughing and singing. Instantly the
scene changed. The boat sank so rapidly
mat no time was given to the Inflated
pressure seekers to utter even PRAYER.
some OF the passengers were caught under
the shade deck and died quickly. A dozen
men were on the water in row boats al
most before the smokestack of the Rachel
sank from sight, and fastened to the scene
Ihey rescued 20 of the passengers and
took them ashore.
The nine persons drowned were: Miss
Hattie L. Hall, Brooklyn, n. Y; Miss
Edith Harding, Hoboken, Miss Bertha
Benedict, Montclair, n. j.; Miss Henrietta
M. Barton, Jersey City; Miss Lizzie Clark,
Bridgeport, Conn; Mrs. j. H. Mitchell,
Frank c. Mitchell, 10 years of age, son of
Mrs. Mitchell, Miss Lizzie Corley, Miss
Clara Black, Burlington.
Young Mr.. Benedict, son of the wealthy
New York jeweler, who was on the boat,
is an expert swimmer. He tried to save
his sister and dived for her once. Frank
Mitchell lost his life trying to save his
mother, who was also drowned. The bod
les of the nine who persisted were recov-
cred.
Among those who were rescued were j.
A. Mitchell, F. NJ. Whitcomb, Samuel A.
Manson and William Manson, all of Bur-
lington.
One result of the accident is to show how
necessary is the legislation sought few
years ago by gentlemen interested in Lake
George, who attempted to have a law
passed that would prohibit pilots or engi-
neers from having charge of steamboats,
on Lake George unless they could pass a
satisfactory examination before a board of
experts. 1t is customary all over Lake
George for novices to run engines and pi-
lot boats.
The news of the accident caused deep
sorrow in Burlington. The bodies of the
four persons whose homes were there, and
of Miss Clark of Bridgeport, former resi-
dent, were brought to Burlington Sunday,
and 5000 people were at the wharf when
they arrived. The coroner's jury at Lake
George rendered verdict of simply acct
dental drowning.

RIned n MnII Pouch.

When Postal Clerk Fletcher of the Es-
sex Junction and Boston railway post-of-
flee took his car at Rutland Friday morn
ing he noticed the absence of a pouch of
mail from the night run of the Newport
and Springfield route Thinking the
pouch had been missent he reported it as
usual. When the train arrived in Boston
the car-cleaners discovered the missing
pouch stuffed deep into the wood box in
the smoking car, mutiated and rihed of all
contents save few papers. 1t is suppos-
ed suspicious character who spent the
night in the Rutland station, and who took
this train in the morning, stole the pouch
from a truck containing mail matter, and
as there are few people about the station
at that hour easily found opportunity for
cutting open the pouch and gaining posses
sion of what letter mail it contained.
