Cause of the Wreck.

General Manager George T. Jarvis
and Superintendent s. S. Cotton of the
Rutland railroad have assigned the
cuase OF the wreck at Vergennes Satur-
day to particle of gravel. This state
ment was made after a thorough ques-
tioning of the crew of the gravel train
which crashed into the mixed train.
The explanation given by Engineer
George Murray of the gravel train and
backed up by the officials is that a small
pebble got into an angle cock ON one of
the cars and held it open thus allowing
the air to escape and rendering the
brakes on the whole train useless. This
prevented Engineer Murray from stop
ping his train although he saw the OBJ
struction when he was hundreds of feet
away.
Engine 204l which was drawing the
gravel train was taken to Rutland Mon
day. The wood work is all destroyed
but the locomotive is not damaged
beyond repair

A LOCAL HOLOCAUST.
Train Wreck on the Rutland and
Three Lives Lost-Bodies Burned
Beyond Recognition.

The most fearful accident that has
happened on the Rutland railroad in
many years occurred at Vergennes station
last Saturday morning.
The mixed local had pulled onto the
siding at Vergennes about o'clock to
admit of the down mail passing when a
gravel train came up behind the mixed
train, crashing into the passenger and
baggage cars and cutting them into
kindling wood. A number of the passen-
gers were pinned down beneath the
wreckage, when the cars took fire and
were consumed. The helpless victims
were beyond human assistance, and
were slowly burned to death The fire
was occasioned by the tipping over of
the heating stoves, which scattered their
live Goals over the floors of both cars.
The awful scene is beyond the power of
pen to describe.
The dead are Mrs. W. A. Lawrence,
4S years old, of Bristol, wife of ex-Sena-
tor Lawrence of Addison county.
Miss Cornelia Stow, 81 years old, of
Bristol teacher in the Bristol graded
schools and sister of Merritt Stow, of
this village.
Mrs. Nellie Barnard, As years old of
Bristol, widow
The three dead bodies had all been re-
covered within a few hours of the colis-
ion II thraa ,-ora charraJ h,,rocJ o I'D
bllstered almost beyond recognition.
Tin body of Mrs Lawrence was recog-
nized because of one or more rings found
near it. One of her hands was entirely
consumed to the wrist but. near it was
found ring which was identified as
belonging to her. Her husband, w. A d.
Lawrence, was summoned from Bristol
and cared for the body Merritt Stow,
of Middlebury, claimed the body of his
sister, Miss Cornelia Stow Miss Stow
had been a school teacher in Bristol.
The Drury opera company. that played
in the Middlebury opera house Friday
night and were going to Burlington to
appear at the Strong theater on Satur-
day, were among the passengers on the
ill fated train.
Of the 81 members of the company 90
were more or less injured and their en-
tire baggage, personal and that belonging
to the company including the scenery was
burned. The company is at Burlington
almost destitute of clothing, waiting for
settlement with the railroad CO mpany.
Middlebury people were fortunate in
not being largely represented among the
passengers.
Frank j. Hubbard and Miss Julia Bond
of this village were both slightly injured,
Mr.. Hubbard havingjboth knees bruised
and is still confined to his bed. Miss
Bond was more fortunate. tShe was
thrown from thelcar by the conclusion
and found herself on top of an adjoining
car, somewhat bruised and badly
frightened. She is filling her position in
the school as one of the teac hers.

Miss Julia A. Bond, Middlebury
school teacher, was on the train with a
friend, Miss Wissell of Middlebury
Miss Bond only remembers finding her
self seated on the tin roof of the car.
She lost all her money and other valu.
ables and her clothing was burned.
These two women make a total of 3s
