RAILROAD MAN THIS TIME.
The Train Puzzle at Essex Junction Claims
Another Victim.

That history repeats itself is alas, too
true. Ever since Essex Junction, lovely
village of the plain, became the railroad
centre of Vermont weary travellers have
been belated there and forced to spend the
dragging hours In its wilds, waiting for
connections.
Green still Is the memory of such an
occasion that happened not many years
figured, and out of which he laid claims
to the poetic genius Of even an Austin.
Such a sin of omission can be forgiven in
the case of a layman, but when a railroad
official is caught in the tolls, something
should be done. W. a. Stowell. the gen.
ial general manager of the Montpelier
and Wells River railroad, visited tho
Queen city Saturday and took up his
abode at tho Van Ness House. Monday
he bade his friends adeu and set his face
homewards. He boarded the ll.15 train
after having been duly cautioned by
Master Mechanic Ciature against getting
lost in the shuttle at the Junction. He
took 1t all good naturedly of course and
smiled as the train steamed out of the
station. But he wasn't smiling when the
flyer pulled into the station about an hour
later. His face instead had look of ex-
treme disgust, suggestive Of that tired
feeling"
From noon until the 4:20 tvain he was
not much in evidence and was last seen
going down q side street to the depot, and
as he has not been seen In the city since
It Is supposed that he made connections at
the Junction and arrived In the capital
