WALKS OFF MOVING TRAIN.
Mrs. The cd ocia Hubert steps from thu
all Train Going at 40 Miles an Hnur.

Mrs The cd ocia Hubert stems from the
d all Train Going at 40 Miles an Hour.
Mrs. Theodocia Hulburt, a woman 60
years OF age, walked Off tho platform of the
afternoon mail train while it was moving
at speed of 40 miles an hour Tuesday
1t was the most remarkable as well as
singular accident that has occurred on this
division In years The remarkable thing
about 1t is that she received no injur les
save & spralned wrist, being shaken up and
slightly bruised on the head aud forearm.
The train stopped at Queen City Park,
and after it started, as is the practice, the
brakeman opsnsd the door Of the coach and
called out: Huntington is the next stop. !"
Hearing tie announcement Mrs. Hulburt
turned to the lady, Miss Stevens of Need
ham, Mass, who was sitting In the seat
with her, saying, burlington ! must be
getting off. ." She then got up, and walked
to the door, near which a man was leaning,
against the car. She spoke with him
then opened the door, stepped out
upon the platform and before any
one knew it was Off the train
When she was on the last step the man by
the door grabbed hold of her shoulder, but
his grip only held to the wrap which she
wore.
The train was then half way between
Queen City and Howard Parks. Conductor
Bates did not the accident and before
he could be notified and the train stopped
Howard Park had been passed. A
freight train following the mail closely,
he dare not have the train backed up, so
Trainman Breckenridge went back to give
the woman assistance until a special train
could be made up to bring tbem to the city.
Mrs. Hulburt was standing when Mr..
Breckenridge got to her. She was dazed
and talked at random, but was able to
make known the extent OF her injuries, and
walked with Mr.. Breckenridge TO Lang x
Goodhue's Office, at the addition, where a
team WAS procured and she was taken home.
DR.. Wheeler oHanined her in the evening.
He stated as his opinion that she would be
all right to-day, except that she would feel
lame and sore. lie also thought she had
been drinking or taking something which
affected her mind.
Mrs. Hulburts son, who is fireman on
the railroad, and herself, hal been to Mid
dlebury to attend the funeral OF her brother.
He rode In the baggage car the most OF the
way and was there at the time of tho acci
dent, not knowing that it was his mother
who almost threw her life away, till he saw
her wrap. He could not account for her
strange act.
When Mrs Hulburt left her seat Miss
Stevens supposed She intended taking au-
other seat nearer the door, as probably all
the passengers did.
1t is thought Mrs. Hulburt must have
slid of the steps because she struck in a sit
ting posture in the soft dirt near the track
very fortunate circumstance, which un-
doubtedly explains why she was not serious
ly injured.
A woman jumped Off the White Mountain
train Tuesday afternoon as 1t was nearing
Montpelier Junction at Il slow rate OF speed
She turned somersault or two, but was
unlnjured.

ANCIENT TITLES.

The Town Clerk, mentioned in
Acts as addressing the mob at
Ephesus, held an office equivalent
to mayor.
The name SeleucidT was applied
as a generic title to a long race of
Macedonian kings who reigned in
Syria.
The kings of Yeman and Muscat
style themselves Imaums and
claim an ancestry back to the time
of MOhammed.
There are three KhanS-Khiva,
Khokand and Bokhara-who date
the origin of their families back to
the Turkish invasion of Europe.
a curator was a Roman official
in charge of various departments
of the public service. The title
nearly corresponds to our word
superintendent.
ImperatOr was originally title
of honor bestowed on victorious
general. After the downfall Of the
republic it became the title of the
supreme ruler, and had the sense of
our word emperor.
The only genuine Sheikh is the
governor of Medina. His office is
siad to date from the time of the
prophet. 1t is not generally applied
as an honorary title to the head
man of an Arab village.
The title of Illustrious was never
formally bestowed as a title of
honor until the time of COnstan-
tine, and was then given to such
princes as had distinguished them
selves in war.
\ duke, during the middle ages,
was an independent sovereign.
The first rulers of Austria were
dukes. The title lost it's idea of
independence during the reign of
Louis NH. of France.
The praetOr was a magistrate
elected for the purpose of admins
tering justice when the consuls
were absent from Rome. There
were two praetors, one for the city
and one for places at distance.
Among ancient and medieval
sovereigns the universal custom
was to give a list of the various
countries over which the monarch
ruled, or was supposed to rule, and
the relation he bore to each.
Titles were most abundant and
grandiloquent in the latter days of
the degenerate eastern empire. The
formal titles of one Of the later
Constantines would fill two col
umns of a daily newspaper.
