points Municipal Judge.

Charlotte Jan. 31.-As the result of a
collision between the north bound sleep
er from New York ana n south bound
freight train tins morning four freight
cars We're telesCoped. several thousand
bushels of potatoes were distributed about
the surrounding territory and an engine
WIS badly damaged. The wreck occurred
at 1 80 this morning and was at the switch
just north OF the station at this village.
The freight train WAS pulling on siding
to clear the track for the sleeper but
failed to get out of the way on time. AS
a result the sleeper crashed into the four
rear cars of the freight. completely de-
molishng them and spilled the contents.
There We're a half dozen men in the ca
hoose but none of them We're seriously
injured
The cause of the accident is hard to de-
tcrmine. Engineer Mason of the sleeper
supposed the freight was out of the way,
and, when he saw that the freight had noe
cleared applied the emergency brakes
but the train WAS going at full speed and
could not be stopped in time to prevent
the collision
The freight train was loaded with po-
tatoes tor the city markets. These were
thrown about the territory surrounding
the track and thrifty residents in the
vicinity made haste to secure a supply.
The engine on the sleeper was badly
damaged but was not put out of commits
sion and was safely run to Burlington.
An engine with held was sent here from
burlington and II wreck train came from
Rutland. The track was not badly torn
up and the wreck was cleared away so
that trains could pass at about twelve
o'clock.
No one on the passenger train was in
jurcd. The application of the emergency
brakes gave thom an intimation that a
crash might be expected but the contact
with the freight WAS hardly noticeable.

Charles Ecttis IS an old resident of Bur

one supposed would be fatal. a year ago
the coming March. Mr.. Belts was taken
to the Mary Fletcher hospital on two if-
fercnt occasions before the medical class,
his case being such a peculiar and bad
one that it was deemed incurlble and the
professor. who lectured TO the class on
Mr.. Rcttis's case of gangrenc and blood

of the class to make Mr.. Belts as conf

the toes from the gangrcne on December
II, he consulted DR.. Morrow of A. Church
street in regard to his condition. and when
told by DIR. Morrow that his case was cur
abe. like many others, he rather doubted
his statement and as Mr.. Belts has since
said, if every physician in Burlington had
told him that in one months time the
gaugrone and soreness would have been
gone he would have thought they were
sadly mistaken but nevertheless It has
proved to be a fact that DIR. Morrow has
completely cured his gangrere and blood
poison, His feet are perfectly healthy

intelligent people, no matter what pre-
iudlce may be raised through jealousy or
from other causes that DR. j. w. Morrow of
~ Church St can and does cure after MANY

Belts SAYS: II give this testimonial free
