Fire and Railroad Accident Combined.

Fire ana railroad Acciuent NOmDlheu'
An unusual combination of a fire and
railroad accident took place at Whately
Friday evening, by which the woodsheds
of the Boston Il Maine railroad depot con-
tanning 600 cords of old railroad ties, was
burned, catching probably from spark,
ard an engine and nine railroad cars of
Conductor Abbot's south bound freight
train, which is due at Whately at 7:19,
were wrecked and burned. The box cars
were loaded with cotton and the flat cars
with coal. The contents of seven cars
were burned, but thanks to the efforts of
Station Agent Patch of South Deerfield,
two carloads of cotton were saved, No
one was injured except Engineer Reach,
and he not seriously. The money loss will
amount to several thousand dollars.
The fire and accident were due to a
number of causes. Station Agent Crafts
was the only man employed in the Whately
station and could not control the fire, and
the heat from it caused the rails to expand.
Two trains, Abbot's freight from the north
and Haywood's passenger train from the
south, were due at Whately respectively at
7:19 and 1920. Mr.. Crafts went south tc
flag the passenger train and sent George
D. Bartlett, an old farmer about go year:
old, to flag the freight. Bartlett went as
far as he was told to, but not far enough
and when Engineer Reach saw the sigma
he was unable to stop his train. Just be-
fore it arrived at Whately Section Master
Pippin had drawn the spikes which held
the rails to the ties and engine and nine
cars were derailed directly alongside the
| burning ties.

Misses Lillian and Ola Miller, Miss
Helen Mather and Miss Fannie Holden
went Tuesday to Narragansett Bay where
they have positions for the season in a
summer hotel.
The Fourth was celebrated in district
No. II on "Dunklee HIP by fine dis
play of fireworks lasting two hours. AL
though the evening was damp the enthu-
siasm of the young people was not, large
number being present and enjoying it to
the best of their ability, while the older
ones had their share.
The school taught by Miss Sarah Nc
Weigh, in district No. Is, closed a success
full term last Friday with school exercises,
consisting of singing, number exercises,
compositions, spelling, and Rotations. A
large number of the parents and friends
were present. Ice cream, cake and lemon

pected next Wednesday. Mr.. and Mrs.
Dewey of Boston come on Monday. Miss
l.. j. Curtis has returned to Boston, after

The sharp report which accompanied
the flash of lightning just after noon Tues.
day was probably due to an explosion
of the bolt in the air. One part struck a
large tree near j. n. Barney's house and
loosened all the bark around the trunk OF
the tree as though an explosion had oc-
CURED inside. The other part struck
near the main road, crossing and recrossing
it several times, and, following a barbed
wire fence, pulled out the staples, tore W
the posts and melted the wire in severa
| places. Several trees along its path wert
shivered. The length of fence torn down
was about 80 rods.
The surprise party element in the grange
broke out again Tuesday evening, the Sc
lected ones this time being Mr.. and Mrs
E. NJ. Goodenough and the occasion being
the fifth anniversary of their marriage
During the evening, H. w. Sargent, in be
half of the 80 or more friends present, pre-
scented Mr.. and Mrs. Goodenough hand
some solid oak dining room set for which
Mr.. Goodenough responded as best hi
could under the circumstances. TIL,
evening was taken up with various amuse
ments and refreshments of cake and coffee
were served. A special car was chartered
to take the merry party home at 11:3I
o'clock.

WILMINGTON.

The people of the Upper Intervale, with
their usual enterprise and progressive
spirit, observed the 4th of July this year
in the way of having picnic, with music,
rectations, dialogues and other exercises
appropriate to the occasion. 1t is to be
regretted that the day goes by year after
year without a proper observance in this
village. Memorial day seems to have
taken the place thereof to some extent,
but the real import and meaning of the
two anniversaries is very different. The
hope of our country lies in this; that
patriotism must be inculcated in every
possible way. The young especially must
be taught the value and unspeakable
worth of the heritage that we all enjoy in
the liberty and glorious privileges of this
great and free land. We take this occa-
sion to suggest that we have an old fash
toned celebration in 1897.

The zone system in Hungary.

The zone system of fixing fares on the
Hungarian railways, the Inauguration of
which was heralded by such fanfare of
trumpets, seems, even on the admissions Of
the administration of the lines to have
proved far from complete success. 1t is
true that the number of passengers carried
increased from 9,056,0 in lSSS to rs, 623,-
700 in1S92, but although the length OF line
open wasalso 10 percent greater, the receipts
in the same period have only increased 40
per cent. AS matter OF fact, passengers
have lodged the tariffs in every way. Thus,
they could be picked up at certain stopping
places which were not regular stations,
and the distance between such stopping
place and the next station was not counted
in fixing the tariff. Hence, when such a
stopping place was lear a station, many
passengers who, under ordinary conditions,
would have boarded the train at the latter,
walked on to the stopping place, and thus
got carried free for some distance.
This has now been alteree, and
the zone tariff for local traffic eX
tends from one station to the next or
next but one, regardless of distance. Other
troubles arose in connection with the long
distance zone, as passengers were permit
ted to break their journeys at intermediate
stations, with the result that the ticket
was often transferred to another indvid-
ual, with consequent loss to the line. To
stop this, passengers are now totally pro-
hibitei from breaking their journeys, and
the tickets themselves are available only
for "a hours.

We were somewhat surprised and
disappointed that Gov. Wells, in his
inaugural address, in giving honor
and credit to those, who in the past
had endeavored to obtain statehood
for Utah, should have neglected to
even mention the gallant and sue
cessful efforts of the Hon. J. l..
Rawlins, who, above all Others is
entitled to more credit, for having
the boon conferred upon Utah.
The governor, in his address, seemed
to avoid even the mention of his
name. If it was done through
partisan jealousy, we say shame on
such narrow bigotry. If it was
due to an oversight, then we think
it is inexcusaUle, as there was
enough transpired during the exer-
cises at the tabernacle to have re-
the new governor, that it
was largely due to the efforts of
Mr.. Rawlins, that the occasion of
last Monday was possible.
The people of all parties give
J. L. Rawlins the honor of being
the successful advocate of local self |
for Utah, as was dem
onstrated by the enthusiasm shown
him on Inauguration day. Any
man.. be he governor or not, who
would detract from this justlyearned
merit deserves a rebuke at the
hands Of q gratful people.
