Then Failed 10 Care For Ills Wife and
 Children.
 Hartford, July 17.-An order from the probate court of the town of Bur lington restraining Walter Beach from cutting grass on the farm of Simeon Beach, his father, brings out sad story. Simeon Beach IS now an old man, with the weight of eiyhty-onc years upon his shoulders. He was formerly considered well to do and was worth several thou sand dollars. His son, Walter Beach, has, by q career of dissipation, squan- dered all of his fathers money and brought himself and his family into dis grace. A few weeks ago the Humane society was applied to and asked to take action; under the neglect cd and dependent children act, in behalf of the four minor children of Walter Beach. His wife was represented as dying with consumption and both she and the children were without that proper care which hus- band and father should bestow. Pending action the selectmen of the town were written to for further information.
 Since that time, July 10, the wife has died, leaving the children, worse than orphans, so far as fathers care is con- cerned. The Rev.J. J. Quinn of Col linsville has interested himself in the four children, however. and provided homes for two of them, while the other two will be cared for by relatives of MT. Beach, thus relieving. the Humane so- ciety of action. It appears that Walter Beach, after running out the money of his father, insisted upon taking the grass crop from the farm. This brought forth the restraining order from the probate court a,E I.,'.

CHESTER.

Joseph Laskey of Castleton was found
dead by Addison Lockwood of this vii
lage behind stone wall near his build
ing Friday evening at about 7 o'clock.
Laskey was about 20 years old and had
been working for Mr.. Lockwood. 1t
seems that young Laskey was under
$500 bail for participating in fight at
Castleton short time ago, and was in
perpetual fear Of his coming trial. 1t
was also reported that he had stolen a
bicycle in Fair Haven last week.
Sheriff Spafford of Springfield went
to the house where he was employed
Thursday and attempted to arrest him.
Laskey ran as soon as he caught sight
Of the officer and started down the road.
The officer gave chase, and called to
Laskey to stop or he would shoot.
Finding that the fugitive was not going
to halt Sheriff Spafford opened fire and
emptied four chambers of his revolver
at Laskey, but with no effect.
Nothing more was seen of Laskey
that day until Mr.. Lockwood found
him in the morning. When found the
body had nothing on but a skirt. By
the side of the dead man was found an
empty Paris green box, and it is sup
posed that the fugitive poisoned him.
self to escape arrest. The body was
taken to Castleton.

A Fiendish Act.

Passenger train No. 6, on the Chica-
90 and Grand Trunk railroad, was
wrecked at 8 o'clock Tuesday morning
at Battle Creek.
Fireman Thomas Grow was instantly
killed. Engineer Miller, Brakeman
Mitchell, Conductor Bishop and Bag
gageman Adams were all cut and bad
" bruised. A woman named Roberts
of Chicago was badly cut about the
head and face, and was also injured in
ternally.
The wreck was the work of some one
who had grudge against the road and
wanted to get even. After midnight
the bolts were removed from the fish
plates which held the tracks together,
and the plates were taken from the rails
at the top Of Austin hill.
The train was the same one that was
in the awful wreck last fall. 1t consist
ed of an express car, baggage car, one
day coach and four Pullmans. When
the rails spread the engine ran about
100 feet and then went over on its side
in the ditch. The tender followed, and
the day coach and one of the Pullmans
we're turned across the tracks.
There were rs passengers on the
train and all of them were more or less
shaken up; cut and bruised, but fortu-
nately none was badly injured. There
is no doubt the wreck was the result of
deliberate plot to wreck the train and
take the lives ola number of passengers.
The same kind of a plot was attempted
at Vicksburg last week. There is no
clew as yet to the perpetrators. of the
crime, but several men are under slls-
picion.

wages is confirmed. Thomas Heath

The Rutland Herald of Wednesday,
in discussing trade unions and the re-
cent strike, puts the case thus pointedly:
Trades union men demand certain
wages of railroad and burn cars if
the pay is refused. This is precisely as
if the railroad directors should demand
that the men work for certain wages
and destroy their gardens and kill their
cows and chickens in case of refusal,
except that in the latter case the public
stake would be smaller. The lawless
mobs in both cases would gather in all
sorts of lawless elements, and the rene
dy in both cases would be a Calling
gun.
