STRUCK BY THE NARROW GAUGE.

George E. Rogers Miraculously Escapes Sc.
rious Injury in the Depot Yard This Morn
ing Was Walking Along the Narrow
Gauge Track Thinking 1t Was Not in Use
Pushed Several Yards in Front of the En-
gine.
What might have been fatal acci-
dent occurred in the depot yard this
morning when George +. Rogers, a
travelling salesman for the Detroit,
Mich. White Lead company, was
struck by the engine of the narrow
gauge passenger train as it was pulling
into the depot. Rogers was on his
way to the depot to take the 9:l0 train
and. thinking from the appearance of
the narrow gauge track that it had
long been out of use, was walking
along the ties instead of on the plat
form. He paid no attention to the
whistle of the approaching train sup
posing of course it was on the main
track and never realized his daRger
until he was struck in the back by the
pilot of the engine Rogers was walk
ing on the left side of the track and
when he felt the blow he instinctively
grabbed for something with his left
hand. He managed to catch hold of
the side of the pilot and clung to ii
desperately until he secured a hold on
the coupling bar with his right hand.
In this position he was pushed in
front Of the engine until Engineer
Bert Gates, who saw Rogers hat fall
on the right side of the track, could
bring the train to a standstill.
Although naturally much frightened
at such narrow escape Rogers was
not hurt at all, and the first thing he
did was to shake hands with L. J.
Heaphy, who was near the scene of the
accident. Rogers escape from injury
was truly marvellous for had he at
to turn when struck or had
his feet caught on the ties nothing
could have saved him from being
drawn under the wheels. As it was,
he was pushed for nearly three engine
lengths with his feet dragging over
the ties.

County conventions
Rep. Dem.

Throughout Windham county the
town representative question is the
most discussed of all county matters
and particularly is this true in Brat
/ tleboro where a warm fight may be ex
pected. The senatorial question does
not figure so largely in this matter as
! it did two years ago, so that the two
issues put forward will probably be
those regarding the liquor law and the
removal of the county seat to Brattle
boro. Clark c. Fits will run as a
Republican candidate for this Office
and although he is known to be a
strong supporter of Dillingham; his
well known standing in favor of the
prohibitory law is apt to do much tow
ard his defeat. The Democrats are
saying nothing at present but it is ap-
parent they are Saving wood, = and
strong candidate may be expected to
represent their cause when the time
comes. The names of DIR. James Con
land and NJ. J. Moran have been men
toned as Democratic candidates and
either would make a strong bid for the
place. r. j. Corbett is a candidate
from Wilmington and DIR. +. 5. Nun
ger of Putney may run as candidate
from that town.
The senatorship from the northern
district has not gone to Bellows Falls
since 1892. and it seems as if Rocking
ham gets hardly its share of senatorial
plums. In population it represents
about one half of the Westminster pro
bate district, yet for the past 30 years
it has had the senatorship only about
one fifth of the time, the last senator
from that town being +. b. Ball who
was elected in 1892 In 1900 the office
undoubtedly would have gone to that
town had it not been for the local con
test between John L. Divoll. a well
known Rockingham farmer, and Zina
H. Allbee, a prominent Bellows Falls
attorney. The local fight in the Re
publican caucus there was complicated
by other matters and resulted in a vic
tory for Divoll by a small majority.
The feeling in general was somewhat |
diffused throughout the county and |
the Divoll delegation contained sew

Odds and Ends.
With the approach of the state po
litical struggle of 1902 comes the usual
discussion regarding the hopes, ambi-
/ tons and chances of the various can
didates for office, and as the time
4 draws near for the state, district and
county conventions it is well to inves-
tigate the merits and possibilities of
the aspirants to public favor. The Re-
former publishes herewith the gist of
the political talk which is going on
throughout Windham county and also
the apportionment of delegates to the
various conventions.
The Republican state committee will
probably meet about the middle of
this month to fix the time and place
for holding the state convention and
following the custom of the past dec
ade at least the convention will prob
ably be held in Burlington Wednesday,
June 49, The Republican second dis
trict convention will no doubt be held
in Montpelier on some date very near
that set for the state convention. per
haps the day before. The Democratic
state convention probably will be held
in Burlington just after the Republi
can convention, and the Democratic
second district convention will be held
at the same place and at the same date
q tho Rot n
will be held in Newfane
following the state conventions of the
respective parties in order that the res
olutions adopted at the state conven-
tions may be endorsed. The guberna
torial caucuses will be held in the
early part of June and the county eau
cuses in the middle or the latter part
of the same month.
Following is the apportionment of
Windham county delegates TO the
state, district and county conven-
tions In the Republican state and
district conventions representation
will be on the basis of one dele |
gate for each city and town, and one
additional delegate for each 100 votes |
and each fraction of 100 votes exceed |
ing 30, cast for the Republican candi-
late for governor at the state election |
in 1900.
Representation in Democratic state |
is based upon one dele.
gate for each town and one additional |
delegate for each 30 votes or major
traction of 80 votes cast for the Demo
,ratic nominee for governor at the last (

Gregory Glendonwyn, had made his second
son minister Of the parish Of Cover. II
was his duty therefore first Of all to pro-
mote the worship Of Glendonwyn with the
bounds, to preach the gospel Of Great IL
Glendonwyn of Castle Cover" in season and
out. For this purpose he had been or
dained, made a member Of the various
presbyteries, synods and assemblies Of the
kirk. Now, be It understood, there was a
party In the church which wished to lessen
and even overturn the right Of the prln-
cipal landlord Of a parish to choose the
minister Of that parish. The exercise OF
this right represented sterling coin Of the
realm. One day John Glendonwyn himself,
as heir. might be called upon to exercise
that right, over against an equivalent In
hard cash. Now. no man robs his own
pocket, but nourishes and cherishes II.
He is accounted insane II he does not.
Small wonder then that John Glendonwyn,
who had grown into more serious and
spiritual thoughts during the lonely days
In the manse, should find himself in some
what scanty sympathy with the great Glen
uonWyn Creed. lie could not accept us
thirty-nine articles, which in fact consisted
Of the motto of the family repeated thirty
nine times.
Gregory Glendonwyn's state Of mind may
be imagined when at the close of a great
meeting in Kilgour. summoned to support
the government in it's refusal to grant the
exorbttant demands Of the evangelical
party in the church, John Glendonwyn, be-
ing called upon to speak to the question,
delivered a strong, determinate, but quietly
worded declaration of his adherence to the
most ancient and iDviolable of the privi-
leges of any church. the right to be SUI
preme in spiritual things within its own
borders.
AS the first words Of this incredible Sc
dition fell on Gregory Glendonwyn's ears
he started and began to- listen incredu-
lousy, as II not able to credit the evidence
OF his senses. Then before John had pro-
ceeded far with his speech his father
started to his feet, crying loud enough to
be heard to the limits Of the hall: HE
is madl He is mad! Sit down, sir! You
have no right to speak here! Sit down!
John waited patiently till his father had
