Three Men bun Down BY Train Early
Sunday Morning.

Edward Smith, Jerry Shea and Dennis
Lynch, auarrymen on the Ellis quarry,
were struck by train in the Central Yer
mont ward in this village early Sunday
morning, and il is supposed instantly
killed.
1t is supposed that they were struck by
engine No. s2l, Alexander engineer, on
the southbouBd freight that passes Bethel
at 12.15 a. M The train does not stop al
Bethel. At South Royalton, the train set
OF on q siding and brakeman discovered
pieces OF clothing on brake beams and on
further investigation the engine was found
to be spattered with blood. This was the
first the train crew knew Of the accident
or course the trainmen could not tell
where the accident had occurred. so they
did all they could do, they reported the
accident to st. Adams. There is no night
operator at Bethel. so Bethel could not be
notified.
mike Meezur. switch tender in this
village, lives in the car house opposite the
freight depot. Al about haif-p past I'VE he
arose to put out the lights. When he
stepped from his door he found the re-
mains OF the three men all within few

depot. About 10 o'clock Carroll started
for the boarding house at the quarry. lie
saws that he went a short distance ana
returned to the neigh borhood Of the freight
depot and crawled into box car on the
side track and went to sleep; that the first
he knew Of any accident was when he got
out OF the car about five O'Clock an the
morning. When Carroll awoke he found
in the car by his side some OF the goods
purchased by his companions the night
before, and IT is supposed that the party
made an attempt to get into this car ana
failed and while so trying were struck by
the passing engine.
The body OF Lynch was cut in two, the
head, one foot and one arm were discovered
from the trunk OF Edward Smith, and the
left leg Of Shea was broken and there were
severe bruises on the head. On the re-
mains OF Lynch was found si0.l9 and sl.l2

The remains were taken in charge BY
Seiectmen Edmunds aud Sp aulding and
Health Officer Greene and efforts were
made to find the relatives or friends.

at Barre, Mr.. and Mrs. John Madden, who
took his body home Sunday. Shea had a
daughter living in Monson, Mass, and
Lynch a sister at Bondville, Mass, near

Colonial house. Said it took 10 gallons Of

return it and pay for the rest. Agreed.
He returned four gallons and took the
agency. Four or five years ago. He knows
now that his old paint was and is adulter-

Martln c. carrlek Pardoned.

Gov. Mccullough pardoned NJ. G. Car
rick Saturday from the house of correction
to which he was sentenced year ago to
three and one-half years for beating his
wife. The facts connected with the assault
were peculiarly aggravating and at the
time Carrick received his sentence it was
thought that he had got off very easily in
deed. The grounds on which Gov. McCul-
Tough issued his pardon are not known
here and there is considerable curiosity to
know what reasons were brought to bear.
II is known that Richard Carrick of Rut-
land brother Of Martin q. Carrick, had
been making strenuous efforts for his
brothers release.
Says the Rutland Daily News:-s'Gov-
ernor Mccullough has manifestly been inn
posed upon or, to judge by the temper of
the people of Bethel, he would not have
pardoned one Martin Carrick from the
workhouse whittier he was sent about a
year ago for a maximum sentence OF three
years for a murderous assault. Bethel folk
think Carrick bad man to be at large and
word comes from the most reputable peo-
pie there that they would do their best to
keep him confined"
Gov. McCulloughs record OF pardon is
long and il would be strange IL he had
been imposed upon all the time. In fact
there is some question whether he may
not have overstepped his authority in
some cases. Montpelier Argus.
Governor Mccullough must be recover
ing; he has pardoned another criminal; a
Rutland man who was convicted OF at
tempting to murder his wife, Barre Tel
