NEWFANE.
ruesday,s Railroad Accident.

The unusual ringing of the school bell
at $50 Tuesday morning attracted at
tention and caused a query which was
soon answered when II became known
that the morning mail train was off the
track just below the village schoolhouse
Everybody ran to the scene of the dis
asJer and discovered that the five cars
loaded with passengers en- route to Brat
tleboro on the first day of the Valley
Fair had all left the rails while rounding
a curve. AS the wheels struck the outer
rail, 1t was so turned over as to throw
the cars upon the ties where they were
dragged humping along until they came
to a standstill on the brink of a high en-
bankment. Those who saw the condition
Of the ties were not surprised that the
spikes had failed to hold the rails in
place, being so easily pulled out from the
worn and decaying wood, ana the wonder
was that the accident had not been more
serious as 1t surely must have been had
the speed been greater. The delayed
passengers who wished to make connec-
ton with other trains, FASTENED to secure
teams and three parties or more were
soon on their way to Brattleboro while
the others waited, some in the village
and some on the bank beside the wrecked
track until repairs were made and the
cars righted when they were ready to
go on, leaving Newfane at noon. The
dispatch with which the repairs were
made was a qualification to those who
waited, and a source Of anxiety to those
who saw the worn out ties put back in
place and the same old spikes used to
fasten down the rails. but the people
\ must travel and so risk life day after
day. with only a faint protest which
serves only to ease the mind but does not
compel the making of safe road.
