A rlembers' Entertainment.

The entertainment given in Music Hall
last Friday evening in the members en-
tertainment course was worthy OF a
larger attendance, but thoroughly en-
joyed by all present. The Academy Glee
Club gave two selections, the ladies in
the company showing especial excellence
in their chorus and part work. The Y.
M. c. A. orchestra were twice on the
programme and were warmly applauded.
Miss Elsie Ranney was at her best that
evening and in her varied repertoire rem
dered successfully humor, dialect and
pathos. Miss Helen A. Boynton gave a
choice violin solo and gracefully re-
sponded with an encore by paying the
Star Spangled Banner" Her mother
accompanied her IN the piano. Miss
Emma S. Shufelt sang two sweet songs.
"At Parting" and "Clover Blossoms"
and was deservedly encored. AS was
anticipated, Frank o. French was the
star of the evening and it is difficult to
recall the number of times he was encored
In his second appearance he eimprrsonated
the negro minstrel and appeared in his
new costume with crimson silk hat and
crimson neckte enclosing a diamond.
His topical songs were strictly up-to.date
and many OF his jokes were on the Cuban
situation. and all his work was highly
rellshed by the audience

A Bad Freight Wreck.

A bad freight accident occurred just
little below Charles Cobb's and about
two miles above st. .Johnsbury Center at
$50 O'Clock last Wednesday evening.
The freight was going south and had 33
cars. Conductor was E. Fl. Brown, en-
gineer J. w. Scho6ed, fireman Thomas
Little. The engine had passed Cobb's
house but few feet when something
broke on the fourth car back and sent it
off the track. The car tore the ties badly
for few feet and then stopped. The en-
gine and three front cars broke away
and went on. The rear cars plunged
into the disabled one and for lew min
utes freight cars were plunging skyward
until II were piled on top of one another
and scattered along the track Tor a con-
siderable dist ance.
Word was Immediately sent to LYNDON
vile for help by telephone, as the tele-
graph wire was broken in several places.
An engine came down in about halt an
hour, bringing john Hern, telegraph

the wires and did business all night from
the top OF box car. The wrecklng train
reached the scene in about an hour with
a crew oil 25 men. The track was blocked
from the time the accident occurred until
o'clock the next morning. The early
morning trains were carried by" OF
the Z cars off the track only two were
able to be taken at once to the shops at
Lyndonvlle. Two or three were COM
pletely wrecked. There were six or seven
empty coal cars and the other cars were
loaded with shipping timber, lumber and
grain. At the time OF the accident the
conductor and two brakemen were on
top OF the train and were a bit startled
when the cars ahead of them commenced
to play leap frog. Fortunately no one
was hurt. The wrecking train was at
work all day Sunday and Monday MORN
ing there was little left to remind one
that bad accident had taken plate.
Dea. Cobb's appears to BE- al place
place for accidents. In 1879 while Mr..
Cobb's family were at dinner thev heard
a noise which for moment made them
think the top of the house was coming
down, butT proved to be hall dozen
big freight cars dumped into the grass
Just above the house.
Wednesdays accident occurred in al
most exactly the same place as the terri
Bile collision in 1898, wh,n engineers
Charles West and Fred Clark and fireman
F. S. Green were almost instantly killed
and Will Dowlan badly injured. About
the same number of cars were dumped
and both accidents filled the ravine with
| cars.

gramme of songs. readings and recita-
