FATAL TROLLEY ACCIDENT.
A Collision on the Springfield Electric
Railroad Results i'm MOtOrman's
Death Faith fuIness of Simeon Long.

Railroad Results i'm MOtOrman's
Death -Fsithfulne Of Simeon Long.
The faithfulness of one of the employees
of the newly-completed electric railroad at
Springfield, Vt, cost his life last Friday in
collision of two cars. 1t was the first
serious accident that had occurred on the
road and it was due to the inexperience of
the man who lost his life in trying to pre-
vent it.
About ) o'clock in the afternoon, by in
vitation of the management of the electric
railroad, President futile of the Boston 4
Maine railroad Vice President Mackinnon
and Division Superintendent Folsom, who
were on a tour of inspection of the Boston
q Maine road, together with Messrs.
Brown, Crosby and Coolidge of the Spring
field road, left Charlestown, n. H., in a
special car, with Simeon Long of Spring
field as motorman, to go over to inspect
the new road. They had just crossed the
Cheshire bridge and were going down a
steep grade when they saw a freight car
coming around a bend a short distance
ahead with Frank Wright, formerly motor
man for the Brattleboro road, as motor
man. Mr.. Wright stopped his car and Mr..
Long applied the electric brakes on the
passenger car. The car was slowed down,
but the brakes did not stop it, as is often
the case when they are applied to a slowly
moving car, and instead of applying the
hand brake Mr.. Long evidently turned on
the power for the car shot ahead, but was
again slowed Gown so that when the coils
ion came the car was moving so slowly
that neither car was damaged to any eX-
tent.
The platform of the freight car was
about loot higher than that of Cyle pas
senger car, however, so that it orlrapped
the passenger platform and pinn, the legs
of Motorman Long against the - | of the
car, breaking the large bone il ?, ach leg
below the knee. The passer irs were
thrown forward but not forciblylt though to
injure them. Mr.. Long was ti) En- to his
home and put under the influenza of ether,
from which he never rallied, owing to the
shock of the accident and to heart disease.
| He died about IL o'clock at night.
He had been employed on the road less
than a week, previous to which he was a
stage driver between Springfield and
| Charlestown for Il years. Had he beer
more experienced he would have jumped
from the car when he saw that a collision
was inevitable. He was about 10 year:
old and leaves widow and two daughters
! The funeral was held at ? O'Clock Tuesday

That
Tired Feeling

Makes you seem "all broken up" with
out life, ambition, energy or appetite,
1t is often the forerunner OF serious ILL
ness, or the accompaniment of nervous
troubles. 1t is a positive proof of thin,
weak, impure blood; for, il the blood is
rich, red, vitalized and vigorous, it inn
parts life and energy to every nerve,
organ and tissue of the body. The
necessity of taking Hoods Sarsaparilla
for that tired feeling is therefore apparent
to every one, and the good it will do you
is equally beyond question. Remember

Says the Jacksonville (Fla.) Me-
tropolis: GA few years ago the region
of South Florida was one vast orange
grove. The cold weather came and
swept away the beautiful and profta-
BILE trees. Now that section is to-
bacco farm, and it promises to be more
remunerative than orange-gr growing. It
is not packing houses that we once
heard so much about being constructed,
but tobacco houses to prepare the leaf
for the market. 1t is said that where
there is will there is way, and this
seems to be true of Florida. If they
can't have one crop they can another
The soil yields bountifully, and the
year 1897 is going to prove q success
full one to the tobacco growers. Much
of the tobacco, it is asserted, will prove
the equal to that heretofore imported
from Cuba. In fact, many of the ma
tives of that island are now engaged,i in
the culture of the plant in the south
ern counties of this State. Calamities
come and calamities go, but the re-
sources of Florida go on forever, and a
back-set does not discourage other
efforts to retrieve losses. We should
be, if we are not, a happy people when
there are so many opportunities to be
happy presented. "

An English officer at Canea re-
marked the other day to a Russian;
IT should like to sink this island and
wash off the whole crowd-Cretans,
Turks and Greeksr' eyes," replied
the Russian, "and when the island
came up again, you would like to plant

able that the one officer was as disin-
terested as the other.
