ENGINE OFF TRACK.
@, v. Locomotive No. 335 Tied Up
Traffic Tuesday Night and wednesday

I
Had few things happened, which
didn Z, shortly before midnight Tues,
day the Central Vermont road would
have had serious accident TO add to
IT'S list. AS IL was, the road escaped
with but little damage. An extra Cen
tral vermont train, double header
bound south, was placed on the West
River track near the American build,
ing TO allow the midnight Boston 4
Maine freight to so north. When the
signal of clear track was given the
Central Vermont train started to take
the main track TO 90 to New London.
just ms IL was coming to the main
track the front engine split the switch
and plunged into the bank about 20
feet north of the American building
annex. The train was moving very
slowly at the time but the engine was
driven ON by the momentum of the
train and 'ploughed into the bank for
half its length before it was brought
to standstill. The engine was mum
bored $50 and was in charge of En-.
gineer Kleinfeldter and he escaped
from the. cab uninjured after setting
the brakes. The fires were drawn and
a wreeking crew summoned to clear up
the debris. General Road Master FL
rod was spending the night in town
and assisted in looking after the work.
After working until clock Wednes,
day afternoon the engine was at last
hauled back upon the iron but slightly
damaged.
Traffic was held up until late in the
morning The owl train was sent
around by way of Keene, n. H., and
freights in both directions were held
up here. The first train to pass was
the 900 passenger which arrived 20
minutes late. BY this time the engine
had been lacked up sufficiently to al.
low trains to pass after the main track
had been moved sidewise about one
foot. There were several travelling
men in the town who had made prepa.
rations to take the Owl train, but they
were obliged to wait until the Central
Vermont train went south at 1875 be-
fore they could get out of town. The
West River train which generally
leaves in the morning at 7.2O was
obliged to wait until broken rail was
replaced before it could start and did |
not leave until nearly clock in the |
afternoon.
When the engine ploughcd into the

THE NEW CURE.

The old-fashioned slipshod methods
of treating Chronic Diseases, with their
guess work Diagnosis, their drastic
and poisonous drugs, their harsh treat
ments, barbarous, unnatural, and
dangerous operations, have passed
away. The modern method of treat
ment, Magnopathy, with its certainty
of Diagnosis, its mild application of
Natures forces and remedies, its sys-
tenn of cure without cutting operations
and painful treatments, has come in its
place. This system of cure, originated
and developed by DR.. Barbrick, is pc
culiar to itself, and is as essentially
and radically different from, as it is
snnerior To. all other methods.

Back From North Carolins
Few New British Subjects.

From the London Chronicle.
 In all, S4 aliens were naturalized during the year 1906, including S11 who came from sixteen European states and thirty from the United States and other parts of the world. Of the former 321 were Russians and 206 were Germans, mostly Jews, to judge by their original patronymics, while one gentleman hailed from Bulgaria; in- cluded in the latter were a number of Nlcaraguan and a Chilean. As to the distribution of these new British sub jects," the return gives 325 as residents In London, 427 scattered about England and Wales, sixty-nine in Scotland, and seven- teen in Ireland. These figures make a total of S2s, and include 13e seamen em- ployed on British ships, leaving 7o2 as permanent addition to the population ashore. In addition there were three per sons naturalized, two Italians and Per sian, who were engaged In the crown service abroad.
