Conductor Charles Knights Loses an
Arm.

Conductor Charles knights Loses an
Arm.
A sad accident occurred in the railroad
yard in North Walpole Sunday morning at
an early hour, when Conductor Charles
Knights of Windsor lost one of his arms,
and was seriously injured in other ways.
He was trying to uncouple his train at a
place where a draw-bar had been broken
and replaced by a chain, when the cars
came together suddenly and caught him be-
tween them, pinching him terribly through
the chest. When the cars were drawn
apart he fell beside the rails and one arm
came across them and car passed over it.
He was brought over the river and attended
by DR.. Allbee, who found serious internal
injuries, and that it was necessary to am
putate the arm. Knights was carried to his
home by special train later in the same
day. Mr.. Knights is one of the most reli-
able and popular employees of the Boston &
Maine road, and many of his friends learn
with regret of the terrible misfortune which
has overtaken him.

Hang like pail over the surface of the earth, it
will be well for you before venturing into the
raw, vaporous air charged, perhaps, with the
seeds of malaria or provocative of rheumatic
tw iDges, to take a wineglassful of Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters, and thus shield yourself from
atmospheric influences threatening to health. If
you happen to get showed, sleeted or rained upon
use the same preventive, and avoid the rheuma-
tism or dangerous cold. The agreeable warmth
infused into the circulation by this genial stom-
achic its invigorating and regulating properties
co mmend it to all apprecative of the fact that
prevention is better than cure. Use the Bitters
for dyspepsia, biliousness, nervousness and kid
ney trouble, sick headache and general debility.

ponents' line. The quarterback fumbled
and Farr, centre for 81, seized 1t and
plunged into the mass OF players. He was
knocked senseless, and apparently remained
in that condition "A hours. For time he
was raving, and Sunday he was brought
here to the Retreat, although his condition
was much improved. He had completely
recovered Wednesday, and then returned
TO Vermont Academy.

"Arlie' Pond has been visiting at his old
home in Rutland. He will spend this win
ter in a hospital in Baltimore preparing for
the practice of his profession. He has
signed with the Baltimores for next season
for $500 per month. Ned Hanlon, the
manager of the champions, says that Pond
is one of the coming pitchers. Pond was
farmed out to a minor league team during
the latter part of the season just closed,
and his pitching ''won the town" where he
played, the newspapers clubbing It "Pond-

is little more work to make him steady;
that his drop ball is the best he has ever

Hadley. Tuesday evening. 1t was not un-
looked for, as he has been very i'll for many
months, and for several weeks the news
that he had gone from us has been expect

as boy and man has been spent among us,
and all have watched with anxiety the prog

cident some years since, by which he lost a
leg, endeared him all the more to us. His
wife, mother and sister have the tender
sympathy of all their many friends here,
and elsewhere. The funeral is held today

LEGAL RIGHT TO KISS.

Miss Annie Wheeler is a maiden
lady who lives in New York, and

long as she lives there she will not
have her ''maiden meditations,

latory antics of her co. boarders. In
the same house lives Mrs. Lydia
Hentscell, who is pretty, blue eyed,
nineteen, winsome and who is very
much in love with her fine young
husband. Mrs. Hentschell nalur.
ally likes to kiss her husband, and
her husband very properly is de-
lighted to recIprocate in kind.
When Miss Wheeler attempted to
stop the kissing the Hentschells
brought her into court before Jus.
tice Steers. Miss Wheeler was
asked what she had to say why she
should not be put under bond to
keep the peace. She intirr ated to
Justice Steers that the kisses were
so loud and resounding and con-
tinuoHs as 10 keep her from sleep
ing or even thinking calmly. They
were not, she limited, eight as rose
leaves, fine as fire." but more like
unto the sudden withdrawal of o
mules left hind foot from a Doggy
place in country road. Justice
Steers thereupon rerimanded Miss
Wheeler and put her under 5000
bond to keep the peace. lie decid
ed that the kisses Of two young
married people need not neccssarI-
ly be noiseless to come within the
law. They had perfect legal
right to kiss out loud. he said, and
as his decision Is the first on record
it becomes the law OF the State
