STRUCK BY AN ENGINE
William Haddox Lost Leg and May
Have Sustained Fatal Injuries
Special TO the Evening Journal.

Delmar July S.-William Haddox, a
farmer living near here, was struck by
an engine yesterday afternoon while
attempting to cross the tracks near the
n. Y. p & n. cOalbin. The engine
passed over both legs, cutting one en-
tierly off and crushing the ether so
badly it will have to be amputated. He
also received a bad cut over the right
eye, which may prove fatal.
1t seems that no one saw the man
until the engine had knocked him
down. He had been delivering a load
of wood to John Clark, who lives just
beyond the coalbin, and it is supposed
that he was crossing the tracks to get
q drink of water from the bunk-house
when the accident happened.

DEMOCRATIC RALLY.
Especial to TELEGRAM

Royalton, Aug. 22.-The democrats
of Royalton had a grand rally Monday
evening.
A full house greeted Hon. Elisha
May, of St. Johnsbury, when chair
man, J. w. Wa do, introduced him.
He told of the mistakes of the state
government; the various state boards
had their share, but the only real
fault he found however was that no
democrat ever had chance to act on
them.
Hon. G. T. Swasey, Of Barre, next
spoke on the burning questions of the
hour. He too asked that some of the
government plums fall into democra-
tic laps. He told US silver and tariff
questions were settled and quite to
his satisfaction it seemed.
The Philippine questions were, how
ever, his great hold and somehow he
seemed to think that by some magic
instant peace could be produced there.
Altogether, if he had not taken pains
to tell he was on the democratic side
| should have taken him to be in
hearty sympathy with the admins
tration, but of the opinion that things
might move faster. x**

GODDARD SEMINARY.
Brightest Outlook for Years.

Mr.. EDIToR:-I wish to bring to
the attention of the young people OF
this community the special advanta-
ges that Goddard Seminary offers
them. Miss Nadine Nichols has Just
been engaged to take charge of the
department of elocution. Miss Nj
chols needs no word of praise from
me in this section, but l consider this
the most important step that the
school has taken for years.
We plan to make physical culture
compulsory for all of the girls living
in the school, and day students can
enter these classes without extra
charge. Class work in efocution will
be only So a term for those who are
taking courses, and private lessons .75
a lesson.
In addition to elocutiOn / would
mention the success which Miss Croft
had last year in instrumental music
Her work showed that she is an excel
lent teacher She has class of five
to graduate this year, and | expect
that her department will be larger
than ever.
Tuition for two lessons a week is
s12. Mr.. Phillips has charge of the
vocal department again, and no fur
ther words needs to be said. Tuition
for two lessons a week, $l5 a term.
Miss Kelley is to return and class
instruction in drawing is only s. pei
term for three lessons a week.
l wish to call your attention to the
Business Course. Our graduates are
giving satisfaction in responsible posi-
tions. Every year receive more calls
for cashiers, stenographerS and book
keepers than we can till. This is nj
Bliss Institute. We prepare students
in one year to do the work, and ou
expenses are less than those of any
other school in the state of similal
grade. The tuition for the Business
Course is only $40 per term. Stenog
raphy.- is $S, and Typewriting s. pei
term. This gives the student 10
minute lesson in each, every day.
These are the special advantages
that Goddard offers to the young
women and young men of the city, !:
addition to all of the courses taugh
in the High school. All or any o
these courses can be taken with ou
regular courses. The school is rul
for the student.
Already we have more boarding
pupils than at any time last year
We have more working for their boar(
in the city and much larger city
delegation. Send at once for oata
logue if you are undecided about ;
school.
Resp't. yours,
O. X. HOLLlsTER.
