on account of the train wreck that oc-
Cured near Deacon Stebbinss last Sun
day night the passengers who attempted
to visit Brattleboro and way stations on
Monday morning had the extreme pleas
ure of staying at the railroad station
until 20 minutes past twelve that noon, be-
fore the train really left Some returned
home for lunch and all had the oppor-
tunity to reflect on the words of the
Vermont railroad commission as express
ed In a circular letter recently sent forth,
which contained these lines "Outside of
its duty TO do all in it's power to insure
the safety of the travelling public the
railroad owes the public NO higher duty
than cleanliness. Passengers as much
pay for and have a right to demand neat
and presentabe passenger stations,
equipped with neat, presentable and we'll
kept toilet rooms as safe and convenient
transportation" We think 1t will be hard
to find a station that needs a thorough
cleaning and renovation more than the
one that now serves the travellers OF
Townshend and we wish the commission
had the right to do something more forci-
bic than to send out circular lettWs.
