Struck by Train on the Railroad Bridge
Killed Instantly.
Patrick Spllane of Burlington, formerly
of Wnooski, was Killed Friday morning
on the railroad bridge near Athletic Park
while going to his work Train No. so,
which usually leaves Burlington at $3.50
to connect with the Boston sleeper at
Essex Junction, did not leave until
o'clock because the Boston train was late.
When the local came around the curve it
gave the usual whistle. Spillane was
about half way over the bridge when the
train whistled. He had Just turned to
speak to his friend, Charles Rivers, who
usually walks over with him In the morn
ing. Rivers told him to hurry up as the
train was coming and he himself turned
around and stepped off the bridge.
Rivers says Spillane started to run and
he supposed he had got across safely until
he saw the train stop.
George Ayers was ahead of Spillane and
describes the accident thus: II was ahead
of Spillane and when | heard the train
whistle turned around and saw him hur-
rying up to reach the end of the bridge.
The engineer kept blowing his whistle and
ringing his bell. Spillane just reached the
end OF the bridge and was stepping off the
track when the engine struck him in the
back and carried him along for a few feet
when his head struck tie smashing the
back of the skull"
He was dragged for five or six rods be-
fore tho train stopped. One of his feet
was torn off and his entrails We're protrud-

that at this DATE. Guly 1, 1900 there will

CONFERENCE OF FARMERS.
The Wholesale Market Question Sti
Under DiscusssiOn.

The Wholesale Market Question StiIl
Under DiscusssfOn.
There was a conference of farmers at the
American House this morning at ii o'clock
in regard to the shape to he given to the
proposed wholesale market On Haymarket 1T
square. AS it was market day, but few
were present. These present, however,
gave the subject earnest and prolonged
consideration, and every phase of the pro-
Ject was discussed. Mr.. G. G. Curtiss who
has brought forward the idea Of the farm
ers themselves building a market and con-
trolling it, advanced the suggestion that if
the farmers undertook the thing they
should form a farmers and truckers ex-
change, and, besides securing quarters out
of the rain and snow, with suitable and
safe storage. be able TO prevent the dump
ing of refuse and disease-breeding products
into the wagons Gf huckSters, to be sold at
extremely low prices, thus doing the COM
munity an injury and causing a slump of
prices for honest farmers.
The farmers will hold another meeting il
the next few days. and endeavor to present
their case to Congress. They are sincere
III their diea. and ask that if bill should
be passed allowing them to put up the
money and build market, provision should
be made in it to keep out speculative city
capitalists, and forever keep the insttu-
ton a farmers market. They also ask
that every reasonable restriction necessary
should be put in the bill as to the control
and care OF the market and the charact
of the structure to be erected.
