cident although one difficult Of expIana-
ton The boy took his gun and left the
house shortly after dinner at noon to
see how the sap was running. Not re-
turning his father, Dana Clark, went to
look for him and found the lads lifeIess
form lying few feet from the door Of
the sugar house. The butt of the gun,
which had been discharged, lay inside
the door, Tracks near the body are ex-
planned as those of workmen and as the
boy had no quaTels or enemies, the idea
Of anything but an accident does not
hold. The doctor who viewed the re-
naains said that the gun must have been
handled with great carelessness. a short
time ago in carrying rife, Ivers shot
it of and put a bullet through the house,
SO it is recognized that he was none too
careful in handling firearms

HE WAS STRUCK BY ENGINE
And His Body Was Mansled, While Min
ME Cone, Aged Il, Was Hurled
Into Dog River and Was
Drowned.

Northfeld, April 12.--while attempt
ing to save his daughters life by holding
her in his arms over the Dog river when
they were trapped on the railroad
bridge near Roxbury line last. evening
William Cone was struck by the north
bound New England States Limited on
the Central Vermont railroad and hurled
to the rocks seventy feet down, and his
daughter, Minnie, aged a. was thrown
to the water and was drowned. It was
not until today that the girls body was
found in the dam about 400 feet from
the scene Of the accident. The fathers
mangled remains were found on the
rocks beneath the bridge.
The accident happened at the twin
bridges and near the home Of the Cones.
The father and daughter went out for a
walk Last evening and we're crossing the
trestle when the northbound express
bore down upon them. The father made
heroic effort to save his daughter but
could not himself get out of the way Of
the engine SO that his doughter was kill
ed also.
When the train reached this place the
trainmen were made aware Of the dou-
BILE accident, the fireman discovering that
his engine was stained with blood and
that q portion Of dress still chung to
the parts after the four and half miles
run to Mortified. Trainmen state that
the engineer, on arriving here, said that
ne saw man and a girl on the track,
that he wmstled and as they sped by
the spot be asked the fireman ii they
had bit anything, the fireman replying
that he didn't think So
When recovered today the body Of the
girl showed one bruise, that above the
eye, but not of sufficient consequence 70
have caused death. Cones body was
several ribs broken on the left side and
the entire upper portion Of the skull was
gone. 0ne-half Of the face was also
torn away. 1t seems evident. therefore,
that he was struck in the side by the
engine and that his body struck on its
head when thrown to the rocks below.

VIII Be Held in Burlington Next We'd

Burlington, April i2.--The directors
Of the Burlington base ball team met
Saturday afternoon and elected G. ".
Whitney and Manager 4. b. Hayes to
represent the organization at the meet
ing called for Wednesday afternoon at
the Van Ness house for the purpose Of
organizing q league to play summer base

per cent
II Is the object Of the men now be-
bind base ball in this city 20 put the ma /.
tional game on a footing which shall
ensure its continuance in years TO come.
IL Is not o m0ney-making scheme. There
will be small towns in the league and
they can only hope to support a team
by having a share in the gate receipts
IN places away from their home grounds
Il has been the custom in former years
for each town to take all its own gate
receipts and pay its expenses on trips
away.
There win be base bah men there from
Rutland the Intercity association Of
Montpelier and Barre and probably from
plattshurg, 1t Is also understood that
Bellows Falls and Bennington viii be
represented. The local directors rely
to great extent on the suggestions Of
local followers OF the game and so feel
that the latters' presence Wednesday
will be Of value to the sport.
Plattsburg has not been represented az
the meetings held at Rutland but ad-
vices from across the lake indicate that
the base ball bug Is beginning to buzz in
hotels and cafes. The traction company
there is always interested in having a
team for the summer months and these
hopeful signs augur well for New York
