in the tender and as he stood up, after
bending over, he was swept from the
train by bridge, which struck him on
the head. His head was nearly sever

New York state and as the laws there
forbid the removal of body, after a
death has occurred by violent means be-
fore the arrival Of a coroner, the en-
gine was kept on the scene Of the ac.
cident. This necessitated sending TO

RUTLAND BANKS MAY MERGE.
Rutland County National and Baxter
National Banks.

Rutland Nov. 26.- Unless something
unforeseen occurs, the Rutland County
National bank and the Baxter National
bank will be consolidated in the near fi-
ture. Plans for the proposed consolida-
tion are already under way and the de-
tails agreed upon, but it is necessary
to advertise the proposed merger and
submit it to a vote of the stockholders
Of both banks. 1t is probable, however,
that the plans will be approved as it is
considered that the proposition would
prove advantageous to both banks tt
has been the feeling here for some time
that there have been too many banks
in Rutland, when the amount Of capital
furnished and the business involved are
taken into consideration. The proposed
consolidation is in line with similar ae.
tions on the part Of Boston and New
York financial institutions.

The sermon was delivered by Rev w
y. Braisted, pastor Of the First Baptist
church
Mr.. Braisted took his text from
Proverbs l4.34; eRighteonsness ex-
alteth the nation, but sin is a reproaeh
TO any people, The speaker said that
be wished that we might look on the
great eternal principles of righteousness,
as we looked upon The fundamental prin-
ciples Of other affairs. He said that one
great teacher has said that no nation
has ever fallen because Of poverty, but
because Of unrighteousness. The speak
er cited as examples Egypt and Babylon,
and gave al the reason Of their fall four
words prosperity, pride, power and
protfigacy. Greece, too, Is thing Of
past grandeur, and Italy IL but the spec
ter Of its wonder OF the past
Ii was 1874 years ago when this nation
was born, and IL has swept on, until
now its domains are so large that we
can watch the sun as il sweeps around
the entire world The speaker stated
that we have become the leading nation
of the world. and although there are IN
the country only one twenty second part
of the total population, yet II supplies
the world with as per cent. Of its most
important necessities Of life. We have
reason as Christian men and women to
thank God with tremendous trankful-
ness.
Mr. Brsisted then mentioned some of
the things in the nation which would
tend TO its downfall unless they were
checked Among them were the divorce
evil, the liquor traffic and the white
slave trade. These things shall not
exist We must face the truth and
demand d remedy We are waking up
and demanding that these things shall
stop. and we thank God that the day
Is coming when they viii stop, and that
we can have small part in doing it,
In closing, he spoke Of the large
amount of unnecessary illness in the
country. and Of the multitndes Of chill
dren who die before the age Of two
years. when their lives might be saved.
He said that steps were being taken
to ameliorate this condition, and for
this we also have reason to be thankful
to God.
