FOUR MEN KILLED
wAsHoUT ON THE CENTRAL.

wASHoUT ON THE CENTRAL.
A washout on the Central Ver',
mont railway between Middlesex
and Waterbury caused the wreck OF
an extra northbound freight train
about midnight Sunday night and
resulted in killing four members of
the train crew. %.
The dead are: George Carey,
engineer; James A. Ferguson, fire
man; Francis Clark, conductor;
Geo. E. Rounds, brakeman.
/ The direct cause of the accident
was the washing out by torrent of
water down the embankment of a
hole one hundred feet wide and
thirty feet deep IN big fill, into
which the big engine 1874 and eight
cars were precipitated, the remain
der of the train of forty-two cars
sta, ing on the track. The engineer
and fireman were buried under
meath the wreckagc and their bod
les were not recovered until 1890
o'clock Monday morning. The con-
ductor and brakeman were some
where on the first eight cars and
their bodies We're found on top of
the wreckage.
There are two washouts 60 feet
long and A feet deep between Mid
dlesex and Waterbury. Over 50
bridges of one sort and another are
down in Middlesex and Moretown.
The highways are impossible for
miles around. The damage will
run up into the. thousands, as the
crops have suffered greatly, espec-
tally the hay crop in the .lowlands. "
CENTRAL VERMONT TIED UP.
The main line of the Central Yer
mont railroad was tied up as a re!
suit of the washout at MiddleseX,
and Of the carrying away of the
bridge at Bolton. All passengers
bound north were sent down I'd
White River Junction, thence to
Bellows Falls and then over the
Rutland railroad to Burlington
Passengers bound south were dis.
patched by way of Bellows Falls to
White River Junction.
FLOOD AT MONTPELIER.
Montpelier was visited by a ter
rifle downpour of rain Sunday night.
Streets were inundated, bridges and
culverts damaged or carried away
and cellars were flooded. Streams
burst from their banks into high
ways, and Monday, after the water
had subsidized, streets and sidewalk
in many sections were covered with
mud and debris.

cross fire that is likely to prove seri-
