Train Load of Passengers on Way to
Inauguration in Terrible Accident
Near Pittsburg.

Pittsburg, Pa, March 4.-Tn rear
end collision last night between two
special passenger trains from Cleveland,
on the Cleveland g. Pittsburg railroad,
en- route TO Washington, six men one
woman were killed and 20 other persons
injured. The accident happened at Cliff
ton Station, eight miles west of here,
and was caused by the first special
stopping for hot box, while the sec
ond followed 50 closely that the flag

to prevent the collision.
The first train carried a battalion of
the Ohio engineers. 1t was made up
Of six coaches and baggage ear The
second train with the same number of
cars, carried the Tippecanoe club Of
Cleveland, with band and 25 or 80
women.
When the crash came the passengers
in the rear car Of the first train were
the principal sufferers and al of the
fatalities were in that car. The wreck
age took fire from the engine, and the
entire first train and three cars of the
second We're burned

VOTERS OF THE
TOWN OF BARRE
[Commnnicated.l j

The time is at hand when we are
to vote @Yes" on NO" upon the ques-
tion Of license in this town.
We have had two years Of experience
in the practical working Of the license
law; have the promises made for it
been fulfilledg
Has there been any new business
brought into this town, Oh even into
the state, by reason of the license law?
Have our merchants and business men
generally prospered any better or had
an easier time in collecting their billsY
Has there been any less liquor drunk
than formerly, and have drunkenness,
disturbances Of the peace and crime IN
general decreased as was promisedg
For answer TO these questions, we
refer you to statements made by our
merchants, physicians and other bust
ness men throughout the state, also 70
court records, which are indisputable.
1t Is an easily proven fact that the
once strongest advocates Of the license
law are bitterly disappointed in the re-
suits attained along all these lines, and

DOES LICENSE
BRING PROSPERITY
TCommunicated.1 i

The man who casts his vote next
Tuesday for or against license should
consider first of all the best interests
Of the city Of Barre.
We have been told that trade follows
the saloon; that a yes vote carries with
it an increase OF business. 1t is not
true. 1t has not So worked in Barre.
else our merchants would be working
for the permanency Of the saloon. 1t
has not so worked in Montpelier, for
Montpelier business men are reported
as strongly in opposition to the continu-
alton Of license in that city.
The only class of trade that follows
the saloon is the trade in Intoxicating
liquors. Should Montpelier vote yes,
and Barre no, Montpelier might gain
some trade, butt would be the most
undesirable class OF trade-the traffic
in liquor, with its aftermath of drunk
enness and disorder.
Has license proved benefit in Barre I
Have men saved more money, kept their
families in greater comfort, and paid
their bills more promptly under license
than they did under the old lawY Is it
not true that the past year has been
an unusually hard year to collect local
blllsi Is it not true that thousands
of dollars formerly saved or spent for
necessities have, this last year, gone
for drinkf Are these things good for
the business interests Of our eityf Are
they good for the life Of the commu,

Quincy Granite Employers and Work

Quincy, Mass. March 4.--Is the trou-
bic now existing between the granite
manufacturers and the Granite Cut
ters' Union Of Quincy on the eve Of a
sttlement, is a question which IS being
anxiously asked by the residents OF the
Granite City.
There are some Indications which
point to an early settlement Of the
tronble. BY the efforts of certain par

Tesenting the manufacturers and the
union was held yesterday afternoon.
The present trouble is looked upon as
misunderstanding on the part OF both
sides.
Chairman Howland and Messrs. Pal

arbitration, arrived in Quincy yester-
day afternoon at 2 o'clock and went in
to conference at the rooms Of the Man

JOHN ROBINS FOR MAYOR.
Communicated !


Some reasons why John Robins should
be supported for mayor:
1t is generally conceded that expert.
ence in any line Of work is Of great as-
sistanee To future usefulness. Mr..
Robins, by his six years continuous SER
vice as alderman has larger expert
enee than any other Of our citizens in
municipal affairs. He has performed
thorough and efficient work in all de-
partments Of city business. He is a
man Of sound business judgment; Of
conscientious devotion to duty; Of ster-
ling integrity, and Of unquestioned hon.
esty OF purpose; a man whose Judgment
has always been respected by his asso-
ciates.
He stands for consistent effort to
hold the expenditures OF all departments
in the city within the snms recommend.
cd by the finance committee which are
in nearly each and every case larger
than formerly, and ample to secure sat
isfactory results if iudiciously expend-
ed.
He has never been party to any
clique Oh faction but has always acted
consistently regardless OF outside in
fiuence He is not owned or conrolled
by any individual, but is q man Of in
dependence Of character and noble aims
and purposes; no special favors to
friends but an equal show to all.
He stands for tax rate OF $3.50 on
each dollar Of the grand list, (the low
est for years., and to be spent in a.
way that the city viii have something
to show for it. This tax rae will al
low $4,000 Tor permanent street work.
His friends are supporting him on
account Of his able and efficient work
in the past and not because Of any
glowing promises which he makes for
the future. They are not asking that
he may have another chance to remedy
past failures.

Bridgewater Boy Drawn In
to Picker.
WAS FEEDING MACHINE
Claimed He Was Working Faster Than
Was Safe Could Not Get
Away Until Whole Arm
Was Destroyed.

Woodstock, March While Evard
Baker, aged about is years, was at
work in the picking room at the Mac
Kenzie mill in Bridgewater Thursday
evening, his right arm was caught in
a machine and torn from his body, near
the shoulder, nothing being left but a
piece Of bone, and shreds Of flesh and
muscle.
The accident occurred about eight
o'clock, and no one was near him at
the time. Baker was feeding the pick
er, and contrary to the customary
warning from Foreman Ayres, was
hurrying his work faster than safety
allowed. The picker is fed much like
a threshing machine, having a cylinder
with sharp teeth, which carries the wool
as 1t comes from the hands Of the
workmen.
In some way his arm was caught by
the teeth and drawn in and Baker could
not break away until his arm was man
gled and hacked to the shoulder.
Clarence Russell, who was at work
in the card room, ran to Baker as he
fell back from the picker to the foor
and summoned help for the unfortunate
man. He was taken to the house of
his brother, Bert Baker, and Dir. G. o.
Boyden was called, Baker being at
once given an opiate to ease his suf-
ferings. Later DR.. Holbrook Of Wood
stock was summoned, and the stump
Of bone remaining was amputated at the
shoulder.
Friday morning Baker was reported
fairly comfortable considering his in
jury and he was taken to d hospital at
Hanover, n. H.

Alderman for ward Three.
[Communicated.l.

If we desire to have our city affairs
well administered we must elect alder
men who have good business capacity.
Men who have not only shown a de-
sire, but have demonstrated in their
own affairs the ability to meet all the
obligations which they have voluntarily
incurred. Men Of business experience
and business capacity. Men who not
only pay their taxes when due, but the
assessment which the city levies for
needed Improvements to their property.
Frank Burke of ward three fills all these
requirements, and the voters Of ward
three win do well, if before they turn
him down, with his two years OF val
nable experience in city affairs, they
look well at the record Of the man whom
they dhoose, for his successor. They
may SEQ when it is too late that they
have made a mistake.

Queer Habits Of Penguins
thus die Of starvation and are eafei

thus die of starvation and are eaten
by the gulls.
Some Of the penguins weigh as much
as eighty pounds and are about four
feet high, with a splendid orange
patch on the neck. The young take
three years to develop fully and even
then the plumage is distinctly less
brilliant than in the older birds. Both
the movements and migration of the
penguins are remarkable When first
followed the bird prefers to walk, but
when in danger of being caught it
drops on to its abdomen and, with the
help of the wings, glissades at a pace
too great to be overtaken by a man
walking. They seem aware of the
movements of the great ice fields and
use them to help their migration to
the pack ice in the north They take
trouble to collect stones-which they
delight to steal from one another's
piles-for nests.
Many Of the ways of the penguins
are suggestive of preserved instincts.
Their attitude when sleeping is mod
eled on that of birds with fully devel.
oped wings. But the penguin has to
be content with reaching the shelter
of the wing with no more than the tip
of his beak
