been run over by train. He went
inside and Immediately notified the
conductor who gave the signal to stop
but so great was tine speed, Mr.. Jones
said, that they went mile before
stopping. The train backed up part
of the distance and an employee of the
road went back and found the body as
stated. There was no time for inves-
tigation so a signal was placed to stop
the. next train which came along,
which would be a slower one. Mr..
Jones has heard nothing of the case
since. He does not know whether
the man was run over by train in
the night or whether the train he
was on had run him down.

W. A. Lord and f. L. Laird, who
attended the Dartmouth Wesleyan
football game in Hanover on Satur-
day, were much gratfied at the show

winning by score of "a to 6 with q
team of substitutes In the first half
only two men in the line and three
backs from the varsity played, and
| in the second half the whole team
was made up of substitutes. Dart
mouth has wonderful team this year
and it is the general opinion she will
give Harvard trouncing in the game
to be played in the near future. The
Boston papers are now announcing
that the Harvard team Is collecting
all her resources for the Pennsylvani-
an game and will put in a team of
substitutes against Dartmouth, not
caring il they are defeated in this
game. This fact shows that Harvard
is already making preparations to
make a defeat at the hands of Dart
mouth appear as mild as possible.

except the details for the game. W

on the Seminary campus, hut on Tues

Howe saving, that upon consideration

wise to have the game played there
and that he should have to withdraw
the permission to use the grounds
The game will probably be given uI
entirely as it is impractical for the
men who have the matter in charge
to guarantee the team the amount OF
game to be played on grounds else

of the sporting men OF Barre vii
take the matter up and offer the guar
