Spirit has abolished his rule of not
accepting advertisements from out
side houses. The only sensible fair
way to do, says he, is to advertise
every Legitimate thing offered that
pays for space. The advertising
merchant doesn't care who adver-
tises in competition because he's
wide awake and winning business
on merit and the merchant who
doesn't advertise isn't entitled to
any special favor from the home
paper.

None OF the passengers OF the train
we're injured. Engineer Wm. Sibley
and Fireman VIM. Mangan had mar

The automobile was smashed Into
numerous pieces and afterwards much
OF IL was destroyed by fire.
The automobile party had been to
williamstown and we're returning to
Manchester where they we're spending
the summer. The accident occurred
shortly after 4 o'clock as the party was
travelling up n steep grade leading to
the crossing. The train consisted OF
two cars and an engine and the loco.
motive was running backwards. The
lat end of the locomotive struck the
rear seat OF the automobile which was
occupied by Miss Willing and Mr.
Lindsey. Both we're thrown 10 or 80
feet landing in DR. Pixies yard at the
side OF the track. Lindsey had been
killed instantly and Miss Willing lived
but few minutes The bodies were
taken to Walbridge's undertaking
rooms.
Cramer and Adamson occupied the
front seat and their injuries were the
result of being thrown 10 the ground.
The locomotive left the rails and
ploughed over the sleepers for nearly
90 feet ripping out the rails and then
was overturned. The passenger car
TO the engine was also overturned
laying almost on its side. The smoker
left the rails but remained upright.
Nearly 100 feet of track was torn up.
The engine was No. 81 and the train
was in charge of Conductor NJ. j. Bel.
den. The automobile, a Mercedes ma.
chine, was registered "l64l City of
Chicago, 1905"
The injured we're conveyed to DR.
Pixies yard and their wounds treated
by DR. Bartlett. the Rutland railroads
physician. The bodies OF the dead |
we're left by the side of the track until
the health officer and selectmen came
and ordered their removal.
Cramer and Adamson were taken In
an automobile to the Soldiers Home
where this noon their injuries
had undergone no serious turn. At
the time they were taken from DR.
Pixies they were not aware that the
other occupants of the car had been
killed but believed they had been only
slightly wounded.

1t was decided late this afternoon
that the body Of Miss Willing should

Mr. Lindsey will be buried beside his
bride.
The bodies will be taken to Manches-

crossing a, this point makes IL an -.
Pccially dangerous place.
That the accident vas the result Of
fas, driving. speeding at q reckless
rate there can be no doubt. This ma
chine aud another wcrc zen about
Bennington Ia the afternoon. They
appeared 10 keep within q sensible
rate OF speed until they started down
North street on their way 10 Manches-
ter when they began driving At fast
speed and on the bats and as they ap.
preached the crossing IL Il said that
the machine which was struck was 20
ing between IS and 10 miles an hour.
The other automobile vas little dis
lance ahead and apparently they we're
racing.
When they left Bennington the
young boy, Cramer, was driving the
machine but when the chafeur was
seen by a representative OF the Even
ing Banner this morning at the Sol
diers Home hospital he said that at
the time the accident occurred he had
charge OF the automobile.
He tells the following story:
AS they approached the crossing
they we're running at good speed. He
did not Tear the train whistle but
thinks the noise OF the machine might
have prevented his hearing the whistle.
He did not see the train until the auto.
mobile was squarely upon the track.
He put on the high speed lever trusting
to get safely across. The tender
struck the rear seat OF the touring car
and he remembered nothing more un.
I'll he was in DR. Pixies yard. He had
brought the car from Chicago and had
been touring in the East for some
time.
Engineer Sibley whose escape was
almost miraculous says he did not see
the automobile until his engine struck
II. Then his train which was off the
track, went for quite distance before
the engine overturned and he was
thrown out, not injured in the least.
Fireman Mangan states also that he
did not see the machine until the en-.
CINE collided with 1t. He hung onto
the window frame and escaped injury.
The passengers of the train were
nearly all in the car which overturned
and it Is a mystery even to themselves
that no one was hurt. Conductor Bel
den says it was the most wonderful
thing that ever happened that someone
was not killed and all seriously in
iured.
One of the passengers seen by rep
of The Evening Banner
this morning stated
She did not see the automobile COM
in up the road but suddenly there was
a crash and she could see a flame
