assigned, he says, ito the committees on
labor, claims. foreign affairs and eXpendi-
lures in the state department, and Con-
gresham Haskins to the three important
committees Of agriculture, privileges and
elections, and war claims. Mr.. Haskins
served on the committees of agriculture
and elections in the 57th Congress with
credit to himself and his state. This ses-
sion there is a large amount of work for

collision with the evening train south, due
here at 20, and both engines were badly
wrecked, but the passengers escaped with
a few bruises and a severe shaking up.
The engineers and firemen of both trains
saved themselves by jumping, the fireman
on the 20 being Walter Fisk, son OF
John B. Fisk of this place. The accident
occurred just beyond Middlesex station,
where the mail was attempting to take

The latter train reached here about mid
night. Among the passengers on the
mail train was V. /. Spear, who was on his
way to Williston with the veterinary, DR..
Stephens of White River Junction, to test
about 500 head OF cattle for tuberculosis.
