Passengers Badly Shaken.

Passengers coming into Bellows Falls
over the Boston & Maine last Tuesday
morning from the north told of an un-
pleasant shaking up which the train had
received just north of the station of
Charlestown. There were some castings
evidently belonging to a freight car that
lay on the track and were struck by the
locomotive of the night express, giving all
a violent shaking up, but the train did
not leave the rails. A step of one of the
cars and a brake beam were broken but
no serious damage done. The castings
had evidently fallen from freight train
which had passed over the line a short
time before.

BELLOWS FALLS NEWS
Another Vote to Reject Carne-
gie's $I5,0 900 for Library
Action Looks Like a Step Backward
Exact Status Uncertain, as Site Had
Already Been Bought,

A large number of voters turned out to
the town meeting Monday afternoon, the
final counting upon the vote showing 423.
The important question was whether the
town would rescind its action May 10
in accepting the proposed gift of Sl5,VOO
by Andrew Carnegie, appropriating 5000
toward site and agreeing to appropriate
1880 annually for the support of the IL
brary. The different phases of this ques-
ton were shown in this column last week.
The meeting was called to order by Mod
orator Geo. A. Weston, who requested
Fred II. Rabbit to preside. Arguments
upon the wisdom of resembling, as well
as against the movement, were INDUCED
in for an hour or more. When 1t came to
a vote, the moderator stated 1t would be
by a division of the house, and named
three tellers to count The result was
that 246 voted in favor of resembling the
action of the town, and III against re-
scinding.
This action of the town at this time is
unfortunate and looks like a step back
ward in the usual enterprise shown here.
1t was brought out in the statements
made that in addition to the $4,000 pro-
posed by Mr.. Carnegie citizens had sub
scribed S14OO and that a lady of the vii
lage had bequeathed to the town 5000
upon the condition of the erection of the
library building making a total OF W.
400 in gifts which the town of Rocking
nam sees mt TO REJECT. II Is pTODdple tndl
a very large majority of the voters of the
town are in favor of library, the di-
vision of sentiment being largely upon
the question of a site for it. 1t is posi-
BILE this matter may be overcome and
some more generally acceptable site
found. There has been much talk since
the meeting in regard to calling another
meeting in the near future with the hope
that some more acceptable plan may be
presented to the voters so that the en-
terprise may be made a success. 1t is
somewhat questionable what the exact
status Of the matter is at the present
time, as between the date of the first
town meeting and the authorization of the
purchase of the lot, the committee APP
pointed by the town carried out their in
structions and bought the lot designated
by the voters, on Henry street. This can
probably be disposed of without loss to
the town, If 1t seems wise. Mr.. Carnegie
was informed after the first meeting of
the acceptance of his gift, and he re-
piled to the committee, designating how
he would transmit the money when it was
wanted. In many ways the situation is
a somewhat awkward one and possibly
gives an unfavorable impression outside
of the enterprise and judgment of the
citizens of Rockingham.
