A Serious Accident.

One Of the worst accidents in the
history Of the Addison railroad, a
short line running from Leicester
Junction TO Ticonderoga, n. Y, oc-
CURED last week when the mixed train
known as No. 8, west bound, left the
track at Larabee's Point and the pas
senger car was completely destroyed
and four passengers and two train
men were quite seriously injured.
The list of injured included: f. b.
Newton, Plainville, Conn, en- Fem,
Bristol, Conn.,, w. b. Smith, Andoy-
er, VT, II. G.. Smith, Ticonderoga, N.
y, G. II. Bingham, conductor, and
Expressman II. j. Estey. They were
taken to Ticonderoga.
No cause for the accident is given.
Only two cars left the track, the pas
senger and box car. Wood stoves
were used in the passenger car and
they quickly set fire to the wood work
and while the train hands were busy
the passengers the flames
made such Roadway that it was i'm
possible to save the car. The country
is sparsely settled and but little out
side help could be obtained.

Another RIaamist.

A decision rendered by the supreme
court brings light on another story Of
one mans two families. Richard C.
Combs died in 1889 and left two fam
lilies. one in Burlington and one in
Wichita, Kan. The Burlington fam.
lily was the legitimate one, but Combs
had maintained both for twenty years
and lived most of the time just prior
to his death with the Kansas woman
and children, whom he recognized.
Her name was Miss A. c. Dunn.
Combs. who was a travelling man,
had policy of life insurance for
-, 600 in the Iowa Legion Of Honor.
The money was paid to the Burling-
ton woman and suit was begun by
the guardian of the Kansas children
to recover from the Burlington family
or Legion Of Honor, the mother Of
the Kansas children having died. The
court holds that the Burlington fami-
~ must divide with the Kansas chill
dren, since their father recognized
them as his.

Shakespeare never wrote truer
words than, "Life OF our pleasant vices
doth make whips TO scourge us" This
can only mean that to our misuse of
the pleasures OF life we owe most of
the ills of poor health. Doubly do
the words apply to men who, through
ignorance, folly and indiscretion, have
used up their strength, energy and vi
talitv, and left themselves almost
wrecks of manhood. Their condition

for the fact that scientific physician,
a specialist in the cure of this class of
diseases of men, has come TO their re-
lief and made it easily possible for
weak and vigorless men to regain their
lost vitality and vigor. We refer to

ton, Mass, discoverer of the world
famous DIR. Greene's Nervura, as well
as other marvellous, strengthening, vi
talizing and invigorating remedies,

bility absolutely free and advise and
counsel him in regard to his case with
