DE1DLY WRECK.

Grand Rapids, Mich, Dec 2S. AS
result of head end collision be-
tween two trains on the Pere Mar
quette road early Saturday evening
near East Paris, the death list Sunday
nigh had reached as high as twenty
two witch thirty-eight persons injured.
Relief trains were sent out from here
and the first bodies taken from the
wreck were frozen stiff Both trains
were going at high rate of speed
when they struck and the passenger
on the eastbound train composed of q
mail and baggage car, combination
smoker, buffet parlor car, day coach
and diner were the ones who we're
killed and most injured as the heavy
bulkheaded cars on the west bound
flyer stayed on the rails back of the
baggage and mail cars and the passen-
gers in this train escaped serious in
jury. The passengers in the latter
mentioned trains, with farmers in the
neig hborhood who heard the crash
as the trains struck. rendered great
assistance to their wounded friends.
There are conflicting statements in re-
gard to the cause Of the wreck. When
Operator Booth at McCords, was in
terviewed by tine superintendent Of
the road he positively asserted that
according to orders he had the red
light lit to signal the west bound
train to stop for orders, and that it
was burning two minutes before the
west bound dashed by. There was q
blizzard at the time and the theory
was that the wind blew the light out.
/ The engineer on the west bound and
that the light was burning but that
| 1t was white one instead of red.
| The engineer says il there had been
no light at all he would have stopped
anyway, The only theory for this is,
| that in the storm, the engineer took
| the white on the switch board for the
! white light When examined the
red light was turned toward the west
bound and this bears out the state-
ment of Operator Booth at McCords.
1t is the worst wreck the Pere NJ ar
quette road ever had. Many of the
| passengers on the east bound we're on
their way home from spending the
holidays with relatives and friends
and their residences were mostly in
| the State of Michigan.

ABOUT THE STATE.

The outlook for prosperous winter
at Bellows Falls is not bright. The
inconvenience and loss from extremely
low water in the Connecticut river is
far reaching. The water in the Con-
necticur river is low, and the paper
industry, consequently, is crippled
Four of the large paper machines
were closed down, and when they re-
sumed work this week the pulp mills
had to be closed, as there was not
sufficient water Many employees of
the international PAPER Company are
thus deprived of work The excess
sively low water in Minard pond, the
source Of water supply for Bellows
Falls, is causing very disagreeable,
fishy taste to the water, which has
led many people to fear an unwhole
some condition of the water and to
think This might account for the uu-
usual amount of illness here for the
past six weeks The water however.
tested at Burlington, is reported as
chemically and biologically of good
quality.

$1,000 TREE F'ELLED.

Charlotte, N. O., Dec. 2S.-In the
mountain district of this State near
Waynesville. NJ @, recently was felled
one of the most remarkable trees ever
cut in this great lumber district. The
tree has al estimated value of SIS 900
and contains %, 900 feet of first-class
lumber. 1t is worth more than the
average farm in the section in which
it was cut, A part of the tree has
BEEN engaged for exhibition at the st.
Louis Exposition next year, and will
be placed among the North Carolina
lumber exhibits. The tree is a curly
poplar, and twelve horses were re-
CURED to haul away the butt cut,
which was twelve feet long The
lowest limb was eighty feet from the
ground The wood wi be used as
veneering and will be shipped TO East
ern markets for sale.

attracted wide attention on account
of the prominence of the parties con-
cerned in. the litigation.
An alleged insurance swindle, OF
which many persons in Bennington
county and other parts OF Vermont are
said to have been victims, has resulted
ia the arrest of George NJ Rowell.
Rowell. who, it is said, claimed to
be State agent for the international
Registry Company of New York,
was taken into custody at Burlington
Thursday. A warrant has been issued
also for the arrest of Bernard Erskine,
said to be general agent of the COM
pany, with whom, it is alleged, Row
ell operated. The men are said to
have sold short term accident and
sickness insurance policies, collecting
the premium in advance. The al
legged failure of the policies paid for
to arrive led the action against the
agensts. Erskine is said to be in New
Hampshire at present.
The friends of DR.. Charles E. Sew
erance of Brattleboro are pleased that
he has made settlement with the
Central Vermont railroad and that he
is to be paid $4,000 for the injuries
which he received at Millers Falls

amount of damages claimed was much
larger and both sides are undoubted

William Manson, of Burlington,
disappeared two weeks ago Saturday,
and not the slightest clew to his
whereabouts has been discovered. The
last fact ascerrained in relation to his
movements was that he was on the

is known of him. Search is being
conducted by the police in various
Western cities, but the outlook does not
favor the placing of the missing man.
In the meantime, his old firm has
been dissolved, the business being
continued by his partner.

STRANGE COINCIDENT.

Just one year ago today occurred
the daring daylight hold-up of the
narrow gauge train at the foot of Mar
shall Pass. where four men lined the
passengers in row, and went through
their pockets and took whatever of
valuables they could find.
The express car was blown into
atoms, and what there was in the safe.
which proved to be a very little. was
taken.
There is nothing particularly
strange that the date is just year
later than last year, but what makes
the item of interest, is the fact that
the same conductor NJ. Guerrin, had
the train il yesterday, with one of
the brakemen, and Express Messenger
Coffey, who was in charge of the ex
press car at the time of the hold-up.
Mr.. Coffey, i'll recalling the incident
last night, said that there was a gent
leman from Denver. a passenger on
yesterdays train. who was also pas
senger en- the same train a year ago.
Express Auditor Sneed. was on the
narrow gauge yesterday and he too,
went through the experience of the
hold-up year ago.
While Messenger Coeey insisted that
the train crew did not feel nervous, it
was more than likely that thev were
listening every moment for something
to occur which would startle them.
But they were not molested, and
the little train arrived in this city
almost on time.

M. C. M. Duryea, inspector of the
postoffice department, was at New
Albany on Wednesday making an
examination of the affairs of the
postoffice at that place. AS the
continuation in office of the present
postmaster depends upon the exami-
nation, there is much interest in the
announcement of the result. The
postoffice has been in charge of the
deputy postmaster of late. 1t is said
that the bondsmen hold a note for
1908, given by the postmastar's wife,
to cover the amount that her hus-
is alleged to be short in his accounts.
1t is said that his friends will put in
a plea of insanity or responsibility
against the charge of misconduct in
the Office. He has been drinking
heavily for some time past and at
times acted like man mentally un-
balanced.
Happy is the man or woman who
has the faculty of making pleasure
out of their work and thus getting
their support as well as their enjoy
ment at the same time and from the
same source. Unhappy on the con-
trary is he or she who go to their
work like galley slave, sorry when
they commence, glad only when
they end. Skill, too, in knowing
how to do things in the best way is
a very valuable accomplishment.
Many people do their work in the
wrong way. They try to cut grain
with dull tools, "pull off more than
they can chew" in the way of land
to be titled, fail to "grease the
wheels" and otherwise manage to
make their work doubly hard. AS
it is only the well oiled machinery
that runs smoothly, so the friction of
life may be greatly lessened by doing
all things at the right time and in
the right place.
