Deliberate Attempt to
Wreck an Express.
Engine and Six Cars Badly
Wrecked at Bolton, Vt.
Passengers and Trainmen Badly Shaken But
None Seriously Hurt.

Burlington, VT, Jan. 26.-Thc New
England States Limited, an express
train bound from Boston for Montreal,
was wrecked tonight at Bolton, 20
miles southwest of this city. by rum
ming into a switch which Is believed to
have been opened with malicious in
tent. Six cars jumped the track and
were practically demolished, but for
tunately none of the passengers or
trainmen We're seriously hurt though
some received severe bruises. The ac-
cident occurred at 10 this evening on
the Central Vermont railroad.
The train was going at high speed,
perhaps so miles an hour, when it
struck the switch. Three freight cars
heavily loaded with lumber were stand
ing OH siding and were struck by the
derailed train. The impact wrecked the
locomotive, tearing off the driving
wheels and smashing the tender, de-
molishing the mail car and Baggage
car and badly damaged four other cars.
The latter were Pullmans and carried
a full complement of passengers. all of
whom We're thrown from their seats
without. however. receiving any seri-
ots' iiJui Us dlNoluillS " carly IcpollS
sent here.
The train was in charge of Conductor
Daniel Church. 1t left Boston at II 80
this morning over the tracks of the
Boston & Maine and changed at White
River Junction to the Central Vermont.
1t was the newest and best equipped
train in the Montreal Boston service
over this line.
Investigation after the accident is
said to have been shown that the
train was wrecked deliberately The
switch had been set properly a short
time before the train was due at Boil
ton, but there are evidences that sOme-
one tampered with it afterWard and
threw it open. To make it appear that
the engineer had 4 clear track, the
signal lantern was removed from its
usual position and hung on a wire in
such manner as to give no indication
of trouble with the switch. Engineer
John Donovan says that the signal ap-
peared to him all right as he approach
ed the switch.
Both engineer and the fireman. H. C.
Bell. stuck to the engine when the COL
lision occurred. Neither was injured.
The mail and baggage clerks also es-
capped injury. although their cars were
completely smashed. Fifty feet of the
siding was torn up. but as the wrecked
cars went clear of the regular through
track, traffic over the line was not
greatly delayed. A wreckng train was
despatched from st. Adams, arriving a +
the scene of the wreck at about 10
O'Clock.

Peaches are Crowdinq Cotton.

Memphis. Tenn. Jan. 2G-It has been
proven that the section of country con-
tiguous 20 Stephens. Ark, is adapted to
the growing of the Elberta peach as per.
fectly as any other part of the country.
with the result that there is Il decided
impetus to the setting out of young trees
in that territory. One company alone has
set out @,Gn trees and has duplicated
the order for as many more trees for the
spring. In addition to the work of this
company, individuals nave set out some
thing like 5000 trees. and estimates ar,
now being made that several thousands
acres will he devoted exclusively to peach
culture. with preference given to the
Elberta. 1t is even pointed out that.
whereas nothing but cotton has been
raised heretofore in that territory. peach
culture promises to take the place of cot
ton almost altogether.

WANT POWER OF APPEAL.
The President and Mr. MoOdg
Think Government Is Blocked.
[From The Tribune Bureau. !

Washington, April PA law is to be framed
which viii give the government the same stand
ing in the federal courts as is now enjoyed by
the defendant Under the present statutes. as
conspicuously exemplifed in the recent Beef
Trust cases at Chicago. the government cannot
taken an appeal on a writ of error or for any
other cause. and must accept first adverse de-
cision as final.
This is unfair and works great hardship TO the
dent Roosevelt and Attorney General Moody,
and should be corrected without delay. There is
reason in law equity, they think, why the
government should not receive an equal chance
10 prove its contentious in the higher courts
with the defendant, who has unlimited privilege
of appeal.
With the purpose in view of framing bill to
meet the needs of this situation the President
to-day had a conference with Representative
Martin of South Dakota Mr.. Martin is law
yer Of wide experience and took an active in
terest in the packers cases He represents
long horn district n-Congress, and his con-
stituents, The raisers of cattle, are as eager as
the government officials to dissolve the Beef
Trust
Attorney General Moody is of the opinion
that law can be framed and passed this ses-
son,' said Mr.. Martin. and the President is
very anxious that il be done. Under the laws of
the District Of Columbia, for instance the gov
eTnment can taken an appeal a writ Of error
in situations like that resulting ar the packers
manifestly unjust and ought to be righted by

COCHRAN LAUDS HOUSE
Ne1C- Y Orker Ridicules Constitutional
Debaters IN Senate.

Washington. April 12.-The feature of to-day's
proceedings in the House of Representatives was
the speech made by Mr. Cochran. of New York.
who, under an agreement made on a previous
day, received an hour in which TO elucidate the
subject of general debate" appropriation
bills. In view of the announcement that Mr..
Cochran would speak the galleries were crowded
and large proportion of the members of the
House We're in attendance.
Increased pay for letter carriers a subject
which has been fruitful source of impassioned
eloquence for number of years, also gave the
partisans of these opportunity to put
themselves again the record
Progress was made on the Postoffice Appro-
priation bill eighteen of the twenty-nine pages
having been completed. but few amendments
being made TO the measure, and these not chang
ing the amount of the appropriations to any
considerable extent.
When Mr.. Cochran rose to address the House
at 3 o'clock he was greeted by crowded gal
lerfes and a large representation. of the mem
bershtp, who gave him hearty welcome.
He told the story of the passage of the Esch-
Townsend bill in former Congress, how a rule
had been brought in prohibiting amendment, how
it had been whipped through the House, to die
at the Threshold of the other chamber the Sen
ate not considering the measure He then
reviewed the passage Of the Hepburn bill, how
1t had been considered in the House with un-
limited debate, open to amendment at the pleas
ure of the House. and it's passage by a practi-
caly unanimous vote justified the high minded
manner of its consideration
He contrasted its position in the Senate how
the constitutional lawyers had played battledore
and shuttlecoCk with it's terms and how in
sistent they for some liberal court review
clause in order TO make it constitutional. With
fine satire he said there were as many consttu-
a iT1Irf 1uI 1axE

said, warns us to be of the constitutonality
of the measure
Leaving the consideration of the Hepburn bill
ne spoke OF the rules of the House. saying tha
| we are not ruled by a majority, but by
minority of three men" He said he would lik'
to discuss the rules without political rancor.
