Two Killed by Trains at Rutland.

John Mccormick of Rutland, aged ~
years, employed as teamster by the YER
mont Marble company, and Peter Parent,
aged 81 years, employed as millman by
the same corporation, met their deaths in
West Rutland and Center Rutland respec-
lively last week Wednesday as a result Of
being struck b. locomotives. Mr.. McCor-
mick had juso made his daughter, Mrs.
John Tighe, visit and was on his way
home, taking as his path the Delaware *
Hudson railroad track. When he had gone
but a short distance, he noticed the
dwelling house of his, daughter was on
fire and stood directly on the track, gaz-
ing at the burning building, when he re-
ceived the fatal blow.
Parent was just making his way over a
Rutland railroad crossing when he re-
ceived the fatal blow. As the day was
cold, his cap was pulled down over his
ears, and it is for this reason, it is be-
lieved, that he did not hear the engineer
blow his whistle, which the latter claims
he did. The locomotive which caused
the death of Parent was used as a snow
pillow ard had Just left Rutland, making
its way north to clear the tracks. Parent
was taken to the Proctor hospital at Proc
tor, where he died wo hours after the act
cident, while Mccormick was killed in
stantly. Parent had been employed by
the marble company at Center Rutland
only few days while he was employed
by the same company at Dorset about
three years.

Missing Man Came Home to Die.

After search of seven weeks, the dis
appearance Of Benjamin Hilliard, an
Evansville man, was explained Tuesday
of last week by the finding OF Hilliard in
a comatose condition in a gravel pit Just
below Evansville. His feet and legs were
frozen solid and q bullet hole in the head
showed the manner Of his attempted
death.
The last communication received from
Mr.. Hilliard was Dec. IS, when he wrote
his wife from Ludlow. The next day he
went to Somerville, Mass, called on his
former employers, visited relatives and
then disappeared. The Boston papers
contained elaborate accounts of his disap-
pearance and an extensive search was
made without avail as nothing more was
heard of him until Feb. 4.
On his person was found a receipt for
gun, dated Arkansas City, and bottle
OF medicine evidently bought at a town
bordering on Oklahoma. He came in on
the night train at the Barton Landing
station from the West. From that place
ne walked to Evansville, five miles dis
tant. The intense cold must have be-
numbed him and made his walk one of
terrible agony. Two empty cartridges
were found under him, though but one
bullet wound was found in his head.
Help was summoned and he was carried
to a nearby house, but be never recovered
consciousness.
billiard had been in the employ of
Dwinell, Wright & Co. Of Boston for
some seventeen years but because Of i'll
health went to Evansville, his old home,
last spring and there purchased a small
farm and mill. While at work in the
mill he received terrible wound on his
hand and it is thought by some that it
was the indirect result of the blood pois-.
oning caused by his wound that led to
his disappearance.
