There was slight railroad accident at
this station on Wednesday morning. The
early freight due to arrive here at half past
FIVE drawn by the engine, Capital, with
Henry Penniman at the throttle, on account
OF the heavy snow, became stalled at the
Muddy Brook Bridge. The train was di-
vided and half of it drawn to this station
and sde-tracked. While the trainmen
were returning for the remainder of the
train the brakes of the sde.tracked cars
did not hold, and they ran down the side
| track so as to interfere with the main line.
On returning with the remainder of his
train in a binding snow storm, Engineer
Penniman was unable to see the danger
ahead of him and ran into the ears, badly
disabling one side of his engine, but fortu-
uately escaped injury himself. Another
engine was sent from Montpelier and pro-
ceded with the train to Wells River.
