KILLED AT R. R. CROSSING,
teander Blackwell, Formerly Of This
County, Run Into by Train at South
Windham, Conn.

Leander Blackwell, son of Mr..
Aquilla Blackwell, Of Blackwell
this county, was lun into 10y train
at a railroad crossing near South
Windam, Conn. on the 10Th nit .
and killed. The Hartford Courant
gives the following account of the
accident:
There was fatal accident nj
the grade crossing Just north of the
station at South Windham on the
Central Vermont railroad at about
G:3O o clock this morning, in which
Leander Blackwell aud one of his
pair Of horses were killed. Black.
well was farmer and resided on
the Spencer place on Babcock Hill,
about two miles from South Wind
ham. He had been to the station
on the Providence division to carry
II load OF milk and was returning.
On arriving at the Central Yer.
mont station he stopped at a box
ear and took on load of bags of
grain and then started alongside
the tracks to the crossing and
turned his team across it in time to
be struck by II north bound extra
freight. The train was in charge
Of Engineer Gates and Conductor
Rock, The Engineer says that lie
saw the team before he struck il
but was so close and going at such
rate of speed that il was impos
siblc to even check the train. The
engine struck the sled and killed
Blackwell and one of tine horses.
and reduced the sled to kindIing
wood. There were II number of
people about the station. but none
of them saw the accident and there
are some that say that the whistle
was not blown, but the engineer
says that he sounded the whistle
for the crossing as usual and it is
thought that Blackwell heard it.
but believed that it was ON the 9th.
er line. The engineer says that
Blackwell appeared to realize his
danger for II moment, for he whip.
ped his horses to get them across
the crossing, but the train was too
near.
BlackwclI's body was terribly
mutilated and was dragged nearly
POO feet above the crossing. Mr..

McCARVER TRIAL.
Judge Davis 0yerrules Motion For Con
tinuance and Issues Venire for
100 Jurymen.

Tuesday evening Judge Sam
uel Davis, OF the 10Th Judicial Cir
cult, who had been called i'll by
Judge X. A. Anthony TO try the
McCarver murder case, overruled
the motion for continuance made
by the defense. Probably no Other
case in recent years has attracted
such widespread interest as this,
as evinced by the crowded condi E
ton OF the court room during the
entire hearing of the motion.
Tuesday morning, Immediately
after court convened, the case was
called and the State announced
ready The defense moved for
a continuance. The State insisted
that the motion he reduced to
writing The defense asked I'M.
Ill l p III, to do this, which was
granted. At the appointed time
it was read in court. The defense
stated i'll their motion that three
material witnesses were absent,
viz: +. {. Clemens, A w. Bodel,
and James Gordon. 1t was urged
that by these witnesses the defense
would be able to show that Lee
and Harry Lett had made threats
to take McCarYer 5 life; that a few
moments previous to the shooting
they were seen in front OF the iataI
place Conversing about the matter
The defense stated that Clemens
was in California, Bodel in Cleve
Ian, Ohio, and Gordon in Dent
county, but could be procured.
The State filed counter plea
that Clemens was a fugitive from
justice and that requisition papers
had been issued in two States foI
him; that he was involved in fnan.
cial troubles that would preclude
his returning voluntarily. As to
the other witnesses the State plead
ed that due diligence by the de.
tense in their apprehension had
not been shown.
Every inch of ground was stub
bornly contested 10y both sides and

close of the arguments the court

The examination and challeng
