Vermont road mile north OF Ludlow
the morningof the 18th. "A passenger
| train leaving Rutland at 6:2O, due in
Boston at 1910, went downa 7O-foot
embanlment at TAO.
The wreck was caused by a broken
rail. This was the third train which
had been off the iron within "a hours
within mile of this place, the rails
being damaged by the excessive cold.
The train was in the charge of Con-
ductor Sexton. The baggage car.
mail car and one coach all went OIL
the track and down the embankment,
smashing into pieces. The engine
was left ON the ties.
There were only five passengers be-
side the trainmen, and all were hurt
more or less. All were taken to the
farmhouse OF VeIoris Frost, which
stands but short distance from where
the accident happened, and right I'M
der the bank near the track. None,
however, were seriously hurt. The
division superintendent gives the
names of the injured as follows:--
Conductor y. B. Sexton Of Wash
ington street, Rutland, bad scalp
wound and back bruised.
w. ii. Steele of Rutland, hand cut
and bruised.
Express Messenger +. 0. Baker Of
Rutland, cut over the eye and leg

bruised and wrenched.
j. A. Cope Of Meriden, Conn, leg
cut and bruised.
1t seems that a freight train had
just gone over the track and the bro
ken rail had been discovered. AS
soon as the freight could be stopped,
brakeman was sent back to flag the
passenger train but he was too late.

MARCHING THROUGH GEORGIA.

MARCHING THROUGH GEORGIA
An Aftsr-Dinner Toast That Was Inter
rupted by Gen. sherman.
When the national convention O.
lawyers met in the west some years
ago, Mr.. Du Bignon was sent to repre-
sent Georgia, his native state. Being
one of the rising young men Of his
region, he was also invited to respond
to the toast: "The Young Manhood Of
the South" at the largo banquet to be
given.
The young lawyer prepared his re-
ply with care, feeling he had done his
best, which was all the bar could ex.
pect CT him. His toast was the tenth
in line, and the toastmaster had pro-
nounced in distinct tones the title OF
the toast, and added that Mr.. Fleming
Du Bignon, OF Georgia. would reply.
! The lawyer rose slowly to his feet,
glancing as he did SO down the long
double line of expectant, polite, up
turned faces, smiling at him, encour-
aging him to proceed.
His ''piece" was all clearly in mind,
he remembered every planned gesture,
every turn and point" he proposed to
make.
Gentlemen OF the bar" he began,
81"
Gen Sherman" delightedly broke
in the toast-master. and ''Sherman!"
"Sherman!" was echoed all down the
table, which saw dozens of men start
to their feet to greet the greatsoldier-
lawyer as he entered the room.
Gen. Sherman had promised to at
tend this convention, but had been de-
tanned by other engagements until
this late hour, and his advent was
hailed with burst of welcome as he
advanced down to his vacant chair.
Everyone was shaking hands with
him. creating quite hubbub.
When it finally subsidized the toast
master turned again to the young
Georgian and said:
'Will Mr.. Du Bignon now proceed
with the toast: The Young Manhood
of the South?'"
The Georgian sat for an instant
dazod. He was young and the excite
ment breaking into his speech had
"hoored" him.
What was he going to do? What was
he going to say? Every line Of his
prepared toast had left him, every bit
of his plan of thought had deserted
him To stand there confirmed
dullard; to be unable to respond to
the toast that involved all his patriot
ism, when that speech was intended to
show the northerners just what the
southerners could do and be! 1t was
humiliating; it was agonizing.
All this, however, did not occupy
the space OF time it takes to tell it.
1t flashed through his brain like light
ming, and even during the latter part
of these thoughts he was rising me-
chemically to his feet.
He stood still for second and saw
Gen. Sherman's face looking at him
with interest The silence was APP
palling! He felt that every one was
thinking Poor fellow, he doesn't
know what to say"
In quiet tone, in which, however,
he felt culver, he commenced:
Gentlemen, am confounded The
advent of S, noted warrior as Gen.
Sherman has made me forget every
word of my specialize men all
looked anxious and interested-''butI
think you can scarcely wonder at my
confusion. Georgians are so used to

Another Vermont Schiatter Steps
Proudly to the Front.

Windham county has produced
another Schlatter-one Lyman Clark,
a plain, ordinary storekeeper in the
little community of West Halifax, a
village which forms a part Of the same
town in which is the now famous
blacksmith shop of Bradley c. Newell,
the healer.
81 don't want to rob Newell of any
of his credit" said Mr.. Clark to the
writer, shut have treated cases OF
disease and cured them before Newell
began TO do So"
In reponse to questions asked,
Mr.. Clark said he had long been con-
scious of the fact that he possessed
the mysterious power of alternating
suffering, but that he had treated
only his friends and acquaintance
and then with the understanding that
it was not 10 be made public. He
feared that ii would work injury to
his business. Prior TO Newell's d,vel
opment as a healer he had treated
cases with good results and had dis
russed the matter with Newell.
Clark is a Spiritualist and attributes
his susceptibility to the influence of
those who have departed from the
flesh.
He adds that he possesses a further
susceptibility which has only begun
to develop in Newell that Of being
able to discern the animal magnetism
radiating from the human body and
by its variations in density and color
determining whether any portion Of
that body is affected by disease. This,
he says, he is able to do, regardless of
the clothing the subject may be wear
ing. He cited a case in which he had
established this to the thorough salts
faction of the subject. Lyman Clark
is a reputable citizen Of the town OF
Halifax and has represented the town
in the Vermont legislature. He is
diiiident in speakingof his mysterious
power and as doubtful of its results in
an untricd case as is Newell.
