What came near being fatal accident
occurred last week Thursday at Tabor's
crossing on the Central Vermont railroad,
says the Barre Ledger. AS the train APP
preached the crossing the engineer saw
woman on the track, but supposing that
she was only crossing either to or from
the Wells River train which stood beside
them, merely blew the whistle. A moment
later both engineer and conductor saw that
the woman was running up the track to
remove small child that had fallen down
with its legs over the rail. The brakes
were Immediately applied, but the woman
was struck by the engine and flung about
ten feet into the deep snow. Engineer
Whalen then sprang forward and run
ming ahead pulled the child from its dan
gerous position, and the train being stop
ped both the woman and child were taken
into the Tabor House where it was discov-
cred that aside from the fright neither OF
them was injured Engineer Whaleu
performed brave act and one that ought
not to be forgotten, in rescuing the child.

The Income Tax in Vermont.



The Democratic income tax, if carried
into law, will not affect Nermonters to any
harassing extent. Incomes of $1,000 or
more per year are mighty scarce articles in
our beloved commonwealth, and taxable
incomes of that amount, i, e., incomes
which can't be concealed from the tax gath
erer, are still scarcer. The income that
was levied during the war was very differ
ent story. That tax was expensive for our
honest Vermonters. In 1868 the corpora
tions were the sufferers by it. They were
mulcted in $40, $40. In 1864 the corpora
tions paid ST, 107 and private individuals
S3S,l The next year there was a big
turn of the screw, and citizens paid $685.
1Sj and corporations SIT, 107. In 1865 the
mercury rose still higher and the people
paid SOS, 739 and corporations S43,SlS. In
1866 the top notch was reached, citizens
paying S21d,904 and corporations S44, 406.
The following year there was a drop to
S2O6, 14S and 1854, 131, and in 1868 the fig
ures were $40, l27 and S77,775. Then the
tax was gradually decreased until its last
year, 1873, when citizens paid S476S and
corporations $3.50. The total number OF
persons taxed when the system was at it,
! height was about 1900.

A Remarkable Case.
Mrs. Laura A. Caswell Must Remain "A
wife, Although Her Husband is Serv-
ing a Life Sentence I'm state Prison.

Mrs. Laura A. CasweII Must Remain
wife, Although Her Husband is Serv-
ing "A Life Sentence I'm state Prison.
The supreme court at Montpelier has
decided a very interesting case, it being
that of the application of Mrs. Laura A.
Caswell for divorce from her husband,
James Sherman Caswell. The petition
was denied by the county court, and was
taken to the supreme court on exceptions
to some of the rulings. This is a strange
case and never had its parallel in Vermont,
and possibly not anywhere in any country;
certain it is that the law books nowhere
mention a similar case.
Married Her Husbands Murderer.
The woman, now the wife of Caswell, in
September, 1889, after living in the closest
relations with Caswel for years, married one
Geo. j. Gould; when the two returned to the
farm the next morning after the wedding
Caswell laid in wait for them and shot
Gould dead. He surrendered himself to
the authorities, was tried and convicted OF
murder in the second degree and sentenced
to life Imprisonment. While the eXcep-
tions were pending he and the widow of
the man he murdered were married in
iail He then waived his exceptions taken
on the trial and was taken to the state
prison at Windsor, where he is still in
confinement.
About year ago Mrs. Caswell began
proceedings for divorce on the ground OF
refusal to support, it being claimed that
| Caswell had failed to send her his pension
money as he agreed, this failure being
claimed to be due to the fact that he had
learned that his wife was rather intimate
with Young man named Gould, rela
tive of her first husband. The petition
also claimed that the marriage was void
because the man was civilly dead at the
time of the ceremony, and also that uh
der the law wife was entitled to divorce
from a man who was sentenced TO tern
of longer than seven years.
The county court dismissed the petition
on the ground, it is understood, tina
under the circumstances the woman nae
no right to expect Caswell to support her
further that she and all the parties knew
his civil condition at the time OF tn
marriage, the exceptions having beer
waived, and thir that he was no NOR
ciriliter mOrtuuS now than then. IN
last two points it appears were not dwel
upon in the supreme court, but slhPl,
that of refusal to support, and the cour
has confirmed the ruling OF the Judge o.
the trial. Every one who is in conVersan
with the case will feel that the decision @
the case is just. The woman is by man
believed to have taken the unnatural ste
of wedding the convicted and sentence
murderer of her husband within seVe
months of the commission of the deed OF
of purely mercenary considerations a
Caswell drew a good pension which sl
expected to receive. BY the decision
would seem that she has her neck IN
moose from which she cannot eXtrlca'
it until Caswell dies or is released by pa
don.

The Fight for Mr. Anderson's Millions

Litigation has begun anew in the SUI
preme court over the millions left by John
Anderson, who died in Paris in 1881. His
estate was estimated at $10000,0O0. A
number of suits were brought by his heirs
against his only son, John Charles Ander-
son, to whom he left most of his fortune.
Nearly all these suits were settled by the
payment of large sums of money. The
present action is brought by Walter S.
Carr, whose wife, Mary l.. Carr, was a
daughter of John Anderson. She died in
1882. Mr.. Carr lives at Hartford, this
state The object of the suit is to set
aside a judgment declaring the will of John
Anderson valid and eniOining Mr.. Carr
from cOntesting it.
