cused of grand larceny, and in the
other her accuser. a broker, and a po-

TRENTON, Dee. 23.--Wiiliam r.
Martin. of Essex County, was this
aftcruOon selected as Leader of the
Assembly of 1D0s, and Frank ID. Jess,
of Camden County. was made Speaker.
At 2:15 the members of the majority
of the House for 1908 were called in
caucus by Assemblyman "Uncle Dory'
Gibbs, of Camden, after he had made
several futile efforts to get the men
together while the eleven Essex AS
semblymen were in conference.
When the caucus got down to busi-
ness, 1t was understood that the mem
bers would adjourn for twenty minutes
after making Martin leader, in order
that the tangle of the Prince-Jess
speakership might be strengthened out.
Housed. of Mercer, was the only alb
sentee. Without preamble Captain
James Parker, of Passaic, was chosen
clerk pro tenn on nomination by Mr..
Martin. In a eugolistic speech, Henry
Young, jr., of Essex, nominated Mr..
Martin for the leadership.
None was put in the field against him.
On the roll call there were 3S votes
for him, the candidate declining to
vote. Before Gibbs could declare the
vote unanimous. there arose a merry
war over the right of Mercer County.

proxy.
Martin and Austen Colgate were
pledged TO Prince and tried their
utmost to deliver the Essex delegation
to him without success. Martin de-
clared before entering the party caucus
today that he would not accept the
leadership if it came to him as the re-
suit of a deal.
When the Republican members were
able to get together the word
was passed down the line that Gov
ernor-elect Franklin Fort had made
it plain that he wanted Martin Sc
lected as leader.
Housel's proxy was finally admitted
and his vote cast for Martin. At 3
o'clock Martin was declared the unani-
nous choice for leader and escorted to
the chair by Messrs. Jess and Prince.
Mention of Roosevelts name by Mar
tin in his speech ELECTED applause.
On Martins call first Prince and
then Jess were nominated. Passaic

the proxy. jess moved 1t be received.

there asked the engineer 10 ease ~ ON

quest the engineer caused the locomotive

Immediately caused the locomotive to

a half sitting posture near the draw,bar
Of the car 10 which the locomotive had
been attached. and facing the lett side OF

called, who found that MIR. Clongh had
suffered complete fracture OF the neck
OF the iemur. the bones of his pclvis
were crushed, his spine broken IN the
region OF the lumbar yertcbae and his
intestines forced out through a breach
al the base OF the abdomen. From these
injuries he died that morning about
o'clock.
All this is perfectly clear, as is also
the fact that Mr., Clough suffered those
injuries by being crushed between the
locomotive aud the ear from which he
had uncoupled il, but Just how the nccl'
dent occurtct.is not so clear, and ~
largely matter of inference from err

stood at the rear Of the locomotive and
asked the engineer 60 ease up ON the

of disconnecting the airbrake hose which

stepped into the space between the lo'

either by the closing up OF the slack .oi

We find that there was no negligence
ON the part of the railroad company,
and we cannot say that either the en-
GINGER or any other employe was at

dent was the disobedience of Mr.. Clough
OF that rule of the company which re-
auires that the air-brake hose be dlscon'

DEATH WAS DUE
TO DISOBEDIENCE
Findings of the Railroad Commission
In the Case of Frank Clough
Who Was Killed Here
Dec. %,

AS stated in The Reformer last week
the state railroad commission exonera-
ties the Boston & Maine railroad and all
of its employees from blame for the ac-
cident of Dec 90, 1906, which caused
the death of Frank E. Clough of Wind
sor. The commission says that Mr..
Clough met his death through disobedi-
ence Of the rule which requires that
the air brake hose be disconnected be-
fore a locomotive or car is uncoupled.
The text of the report follows:
A public investigation into the cause
of this accident was held at Brattleboro
Jan. l6, 1907. The state of Vermont was
represented by r. G. Bacon, states at
torney for Windham county; Gibson q
Waterman for the Boston & Maine rail-
road; and Gilbert A. Davis appeared tor
George d. Clough, father of the deceased.
The evidence disclosed the following
facts:
Frank E. Clough was in the employ of
the Boston & Maine railroad as head
brakeman on the regular freight train
known as No. n, running from Brattle-
boro to White River Junction, and due
to leave Brattleboro at $50 a. m. About
6.25 on the morning of Dec. %, 1905, this
train, then consisting of a locomotive at
tached to five loaded freight cars and a
buggy. stood on the side track in the
Boston & Maine yard at Brattleboro,
ready for its regular trip. Thereupon the
engineer decided to take water, and that
he might do so. directed Mr.. Clough to
uncouple the locomotive. Whereupon
Mr.. Clough went to the rear OF the To-
