THE RAILROAD ACCIDENT AT KENT.
 The most serious railroad accident that ever happened ill this town occurred on Thursday of last week when the snow blow ran into the rear end of the south bound freight train. The accident hap pened about one fourth of mile above Kent, at the Furnace. The blow ran un- der the caboOse and two freight cars, lift ing them from the track and throwing the caboOse clear from the track and leaving the two freight cars 0n top of the blow. There were two men killed, Jerry Nolan of Stepney and John Henry Mur- phy of Pittsfeld. The injured were Frank Murphy of Pitts field, ribs broken from breast and otherwise badly bruised :; Richard Tone, 8 car inspector of Pitts field, shoulder hurt aLd bruised about the head. A German who had ribs brok en andgsuffered internali juries, has sine died. w. K Lyon, the as, istant super intendent of the Berkshire division, was in the snow plow and escaped with few slight bruises from what would seem to be almost certain death.

 THE SAD DEATH OF "JERRY" NOLAN.
 When the intelligence came over the ] wire last week Thursday, of the unfor- tunate railroad accident at Kent in which Jeremiah Nolan, commonly known all along the line as "Jerry Nolan," lost his life, there was a unanimous expression of sorrow and sympathy went out from inc people here, where he has made his home for tho past 22 years. Mir Nolan, in company with Assistant .Superinten- dent Lyon and a complement of train hauds, was akirg a uiaI trip down the road with the new snow blow. Suppos- i"g they had clear track, they were making about p miles an hour, when without warning they dashcd into the rear eud of a freight train that was stand ing on the k, at Kent Furnace. Mir \ Nolan was pinned down in the wreck and when taken out, had lost one limb below the knee besides other horrible bruises. He was removed 70 the nearest house, and lived about three hours, during which time he retained his consciousness, death coming with hemorrhage of the lungs, the result of the distressing acci- dent. He was II years old. Mir NoIon WAS more than an ordinary workman, md his skill in track building was re- warded with frequent promotion, until at the time of his death he was assistant road master of the Berkshire division. Il. had been for more than 30 years in the employ of the road, holding the posi- tion of section foreman, until his last promotion, which came some eight years ago. He Was once before in an accident that nearly cost him his life, when an engine dashed into a hand CAT he was on at Long Hill, July lG, 1878, but from which he recovered, and erj y ed his ual cobu-t health. His remains were rcmov- rd f:om Kent to his home here on Thurs day night, uud on Monday of this week the funeral services were very largely at tended from St Stephens church, Father .

 Col Pope of bicycle fame, who has done much to promote good roads, writes "Good roads throughout the country mean saving of many millions of dollars annually markets regularly supplied, crops cheaply moved, more universal civilization, and consequent higher type of citizenship. I know of no reform in modern times worthy of so much attention as the promotion of good roads"
 There is no drubt but that the pro gressiye element in every town favor improved roads, and iudiciou4 expen- diture to secure this end.

If nothing more is done, the cxtiugushcrs in the hook and ladder house should be kept in repair and it be made possible to get the truck out of the building. It is not to be wodncred that the members of the fire company have lost their interest when
 he borough will not provide even a meeting place. We should like to see the borough revived, and a small tax laid for ke"ping the presclt building and apparatus in repair and to provide a room for the meetings of the fire com pany. If this is done we'll warrant the hremen will do their part. It would not be necessary to lay more than d two mill caz on the property in the borough to raise say s2oo a year fer fire rurpos2s.
