FREIGHT CARS DERAILED.
The mail train from the south over the
Chatham division of tho Rutland railroad
was considerably late Tuesday morning.
The delay was owing to one of the FREE
pucnt mlShaps that occur on that division,
where light rails are supposed to do the
same duty as heavy ones. The train was
heavy one, and when about six miles
south of Bennington a box car of the
heaviest kind and fully loaded left the
track and went down the bank some %
feet Three other cars left the rails,
which spread far apart. A brakeman on
top OF one Of the cars jumped thereby
probably saving his life. although he was
somewhat bruised. The track was i'm
passable all day, and a special from Benn-
ineton went out and brought in the pas
sengers and mails.
