A SAD NEW YEARS.
Fatal Accident TO Joseph Paul in the
Railroad Yard.

The new year opened with shocking
fatality in Brattleboro, Joseph Paul,
switchman in the railroad yard, being the
victim. The accident occurred about u
o'clock Monday forenoon. Engineer Hal
was running the switching engine. PAU
intended to set the switch so as TO throw
the switching engine and one car upon
side track, and threw the switch Tor this
purpose, as he supposed. He then started
to walk up the main track intending to set
the second switch. He had, however, made
mistake in setting the first switch, and
the locomotive and one car had been
thrown upon the main line. While Paul
was walking along to the second switch he
was struck by the car, which was being
backed up, and was knocked down by 1t.
The car passed over him, but it stood so
high that he was not Injured until caught
by the fire box of the locomotive. He was
then dragged along about the length of
three cars. He shouted, but his cries were
not heard until the locomotive came to
standstil Engineer Hall, Yardmaster
Dutton and Section Foreman Eckes took
Paul from beneath the locomotive and
carried him to his home on Vernon street,
only few rods away. Although fright
fully injured he was perfectly conscious
and told the railroad men: at was all my
fault set the switch wrong"
DIR. Ketchum, who was called, found that
Paurs left arm was so badly crushed near
the shoulder that amputation was neCessa-
ry. The operation was performed, but
with small hope of the mans recovery, as
he had sustained other serious injuries.
There was wound five inches long on the
head so deep that the periosteum, the
membrane covering the skull, was torn off,
the face was badly cut, three ribs were
broken and there were bruises about other
parts of the body. Death took place about
/ o'clock in the afternoon.
Joseph Paul was II years old, and was
native of western New York. He came
here from New London, Conn, two or
three years ago. He was then brakeman
and was appointed swtchman last fall.
He was a faithful workman and the rail
road men speak well of him. He leaves
wife and three small children, the oldest
being three years old, and the youngest
three months. The family are in destitute
circumstances. Paul at one time lived
in Worcester, Mass, and was married
there. He had a good position as team
ster in Worcester, but gave it up. as he had
strong inclination toward railroad work,
A'INltL stdlillllG lhdl one DIOJntI udl met
death on the rail.
Paurs mother and brother came here to
attend the funeral, which was held on
Wednesday. The body was placed in the
tomb, but will probably be taken later to
WOrces er for burial.
Mrs. Paul has suffered two great be-
reayements within a short time. the first
being the tragic death of her little daugh-
ter by burning while the family lived on

A NEW CORPORATION
with Office in BrattIeboro 49, Capital
Stock $4,000.


4 new corporation, with business office
in Brattleboro, is the Martin IL Fits Lime
and Cement company. with a capital stock
of 81, 600, divided into shares of 500 each.
This concern is organized for the purpose
of quarrying and rendng rock and manu-
featuring and rending lime. cement, gas
purifiers, barrels, barrel stock and lime in
the towns of Stratton. Wardsboro and
Nottingham. The stockholders are J. /.
Martin, Clarke {. Fits, &. f. Thompson,
c. II. Davenport, g. F. Mann, 5. H. Sher-
man, George b. Hit.
The corporation succeeds to the business
which Martin Il Fits have heretofore car
ried on at Stratton and at Sherman in
Nottingham. The business will be en-
larged, and it is expected that the output
per day at Sherman will be $1,000 pounds
OF lime, while the present output at STRAIT
ton is about $1,000 pounds. Thirty to for
ty men will be employed'at the two places.
This business involves a large consumption
of wood, amounting TO IL to 20 cords a
week.
The lime made a, Stratton and Sherman
is OF exceptional quality, and is superior to
any other made for purifying gas. \ large
trade has been built up with gas concerns
in New England and New York state.
Under the Wilson tariff bill the Canadi-
an lime will destroy the market for Amer
lean lime for building purposes, but with
the peculiar quality OF lime produced at
Stratton and Sherman there is a large
field with the gas companies.

A THRILLING ESCAPE.



and Daughter from n Burning Build
ing at Providence, II. 7.
Two former Brattleboro people, E. c..
Perkins and his daughter, narrowly escap-
ed being burned to death in the fire which
ragged in the Moulton building at Proyi-
dence. r. l., last week Wednesday. The
Providence Evening Telegram, in its &C
count of the fire, says: Firemen Mcneil
and Brown did a wonderfully heroic feat.
In the very face of solid sheet OF lame
they made their way up the fire escape on
the MOulton street side Of the building,
and brought from the third floor Electrl-
clan f. c. Perkins and his daughter, Miss
Josie f. Perkins. Two streams of water
were directed upon them to save them
from the flames. The battle down the fire
escape was a thrilling one, and those who
witnessed it believed that the four people
would perish. Mr. Perkins and his daugh-
ter were badly drenched, and the two
rescuers were singed about the hands
and face. Mr.. Perkins stated that it
''was all done in a moment He heard
the cry of fire, but escape by means of the
staircase was even then cut off, and he
awaited the coming of the hremen. DR..
+. A. Gay, a well Unknown dentist, persisted
in the fire. Mr.. Perkins says DR.. Gay was
in his room when the fire was at its height,
and climbed out on the fire escape. When
the flame burst up from below DIR. Gay
came back into the room, and Mr. Perkins
and his daughter went out the window to
the fire escape. Mr. Perkins shouted to
the doctor that he could not escape by the
door, but to follow them to the ground
on the outside. This was the last that
was seen of DIR. Gay alive. Before fleeing
to the fire escape Mr.. Perkins had time to
throw from the window several books, two
or three Christmas presents, a purse and
$50 in money. The bundle struck burly
negro on the head. The negro's skull was
so thick that he was not injured, and
Selling the bundle he ran into side street
to examine the contents. The books have
been returned to Mr.. Perkins by Mr.. FL
lot, to whom they were given by the ne
gro. The money is missing, and the po-
lice are looking for the negro. The fire
was caused by the explosion of a dynamo.
