KILLED BY CARS.

A fatal accident occurred at Mott
pelier juno on on M ,ucay between
80 and o O'Clock. John Ruth, ford,
car inspector and repairer on this
branch of the Central Vermont Rail
way and his helper, Walter B. Lindsay,
went down to the Junction aboard of
the shifter, No. 20l, to see if the sup.
plies had come for repairs ON car
that had been at the Junction some
days waiting for repairs While seat
ed IN the Junction station some of the
railroad men reported to Mr.. Ruther-
ford that draw bar had Just been
broken on car standing on the north
storage track opposite the station.
While at work about this car Mr..
Rutherford met his death.
The way freight was making up its
train at the Junction and had been on
the storage track twice while Ruther-
ford and Lindsay were standing on
the platform talking about the car
Rutherford told Lindsay to go up and
trach. The latter spoke of the danger
Of working on the car until after the
flag was placed owing to the likeli-
hood that the way freight might pull
in again. He started off to place the
flag leaving Rutherford standing on
the platform of the station. Before
Lindsay had time to walk the length
of the cars on the siding the way
freight struck them. He waited until
the freight had pulled out Of the wav,
placed his flag and walked back to the
point where he had left Rutherford.
There he discovered the body of his
overseer lying inside the rails, prac-
tioally headless. The wheelbarrow,
on which their repair tools were car
ried was gone and the tools strewn
around Lindsay Immediately ran
into the station and called the rail
road men but the latter did not dare
to touch the body until the town au-
thorities had been notified.
The front part of the head from the
base of the neck to the crown of the
skull was carried away from the body
and was found ninety feet from where
the body lay, under the wheels of the
car. 1t is probable from the signs in
the vicinity that Rutherford was TAX
ing the wheelbarrow with his tools
across the track to clear the mail train
that was due at about that time, when
he was struck. a man who was at
the Junction when she accident hap
pened says tnat the way freight backed
on to the siding quickly II order to
let the mail train pass.
John Rutherford came to Mont
pelier fourteen years ago from Hart
ford, Conn, and for the past ten years
had held the position of inspector on
this branch About sixteen years age
he married Mrs. Catherine Mcmillan
of Pottstown. N. Y, and she with a
step-son, Alexander Mcmillan, and
son in Connecticut are among the liv-
ing relatives. MI. Rutherford was a
faithful, intelligent workman, who
took pride in keeping bis work in
shape and his reports straight. In his
family he was devoted husband and
had taken the tenderest care of an in
valid wife for the past fourteen years.

STAFF APPOINTMENTS MADE.
Four of the Five Captains Also Selected
 for the Gold Legion.

Four of the Five Captains Also Selected
 for the Gold Legion. -. A meeting of the executive committee of the New Haven Gold legion was held at the Union league club last evening. Owing to the fact that several mem. bers of the committee were out of town no definite action was taken, matters being considered informally, Major Tilson has made his staff appointments. They are all to be mounted and rank as captains or Heutenants, They are: Adjutant, Frank Mason; quartermas- ter, Amos F. Barnes, and surgeon, Joseph H. Townsend. The following are to rank as first lieutenants and they also will be mounted: Commissary, Theodore H. Macdonald, and paymas- ter, William J. Lum. The non-commis- stoned stan have not yet been elected.
 There are to be five companies, and four of the captains have been selected 1 and have accepted. They are Frank s. | Cornwall, Ernest l.. Isbell. E. l.. Fox l and l.. F. Sperry. The other captain will be selected in the near future, i An excellent bugle corps. consisting of | nearly all the buglers in the Second regiment, has been formed and will be in charge of Joseph H. Southard, who is to be chief bugler. A large drum corps is being formed and this will act in conjunction with the band when the company parades. a ..s.s E Everything points towards a most prosperous organization and there is lit tie doubt but that this famous political marching club will be greater success, If possible. than 1t ever has been before. The executive committee has received a 1 large number of applications for mem- bership and in order to insure chance for membership in the legion applica- tions should be filed with Secretary l Averill of the court of common pleas before Sentember 1.
 The committee on headquarters stat ed that they were in favor of Warner hall, owing to the fact that there is a good place to drill; a good place be- tween the hall and the Union league to make their formation before starting to march; and there Is also stable in the rear in which the mounted staff can keep their horses. All the members of the committee present last night fav- ored this location, but it was decided to delay action on the matter until the next meeting, which will be held in the near future and to which the captains of the companies have been invited to attend.
 The finance committee reported that it was meeting with success and it is expected that they will be able to reach the s2,000 mark before the first parade. This money Is to be used in defraying the expenses os the legion. A number of parades will be given in various 1 other cities by the legion and part of this money will also be used for trans portation. It Is, expected that the legion will give it's Initial parade in this city about the middle of September.
