plan to attend but several from out
side the school expect to go. The

Washington, auto rides, two theatres,

will give his popular lecture on ''The
Mass against the Man - Mr.. Piatt
is considered one of the most enter
tanning lecturers on the platform to-
day and the message he brings is one
of vital interest. Not only is he an
entertaining orator but his grasp of
vital things is said to be marvellous
and his searching inquiry into this
most important topic of the social un-
rest of the times Is the mass really
crushing the man or is the man
crushing the mass. Those who have
attended the former numbers of the
present course and know the high
character and pleasing numbers pro
duced heretofore will not be disap-
pointed in this number. Don't miss

HEAD ON COLLISION
Two Locomotives Demolished and Fire
man Is Severely Hurt. 'Helper" Goes
by West Burke, Meets Crowded
Northbound Passenger.

Travelling at full speed on its way
TO Lyndonville. a helping engine
crashed head-on into the crowded
north-bound "Air Line" train on the
Boston & Maine railroad Thursday
afternoon just south of West Burke,
both locomotives being demolished.
Fireman Robinson of the passenger
train was badly hurt, but all the other
trainmen and passengers escaped
with shaking up and some slight
bruises.
The engineer of the passenger train
Walden and Engineer Ryther and
Fireman N. E. Bedard of the helper
jumped when it was seen that the col
lision could not be avoided and thew
were not injured. Fireman Robinson.
however, was shoveling coal into the
firebox of his locomotive, and was
dashed against the iron work and ter
ribly hurt.
The collision occurred about 4 80 on
a sharp curve, and it is claimed that
Engineer Ryther of the helper forgot
that he was expected to stop at West
Burke until the passenger train
passed by The baggage car was
smashed and thrown off the track.
None of the passenger coaches left the
rails. A wrecklng crew from Lyn
donville soon reached the scene and
it was morning before the track was
clear The mail south leaving New
port at O'Clock was run back. to
Newport and a train from Lyndon
Vile was run to the wreck and back
and passengers were transferred but
traffic was badly tied up for many
hours.
1t is said Engineer Ryther is grief
stricken by the accident and says no
one but himself was to blame. He
received orders to side for freight
at West Burke and hurry back to Lynn
donville to help another freight to the
summit but forgot the air line. He
/ was supposed to look out for regular
trains without orders.
! This is the third serious 'helper" ac-
cident between Newport and Lyndon
Vile within about year. one life be-
ing lost at Orleans last fall in col
| lision.

Junior Class Show Great Success.

Seaver's opera hall was filled to it's
full capacity last evening, the at.
traction being the presentation of
the comedy, "Miss Fearless & Co., "
by the Junior class of Barton Acad-
emy. The cast showed excellent dra-
matte material, each part in the plav
called only for female talent, but
each actress was especially fitted to
her part.
The play opens with scene in
which Margaret Henly, Bettina Cam
eron, Barbara Livingstone and Mar
ion Reynolds, played, respectively.
by Misses Myers, Leslie, Davis and
Calkins are led by Miss Henly be-
cause of rather impertinent form
of invitation from male friends to
visit their club house. to agree to
spend month on "Spook Island, Z"
and forfeit ten dollars if they COM
municate with men. A visit from Sa-
rah Jane Lovejoy. miss Ferrin) pro-
vides chaperon. and we next see
them at the cottage. A visit from
the "Silent Sisters,' misses McFar-
lane) dummy man, which Kate the
maid mistakes for the real thing,
furnishes humorous setting for the
scene. This latter character was
we'll taken by Miss Cameron. Miss
Addison, played by Miss Phillips is a
nervous lady in love with man, who
proves to be fraud.
Little Lizzie" played by Miss
jennings. has been trained to be a
thief, and disguised as ghost, ap.
peared at the window of the cottage
occupied b. the girls, and was fired
at by one of them who seemed expert
with revolver.
1t was through the mediumship of
Sarah Jane Lovejoy, the chaperon,
however, all these things came to a
happy ending. BY clever detective
work, she discovered the fraudulent
lover; by kindness she made little
Lizzie promise never to steal again,
and then adopted her; and Sarah
Jane at last confessed herself respon-
sible for the "Silent Sisters visit.
They proved to be among those boys
whom the girls rejected, but recon
ciliat,on was brought abolt by Sarat
James commonsense talk.
Between the acts, Slayton Lang
rendered a solo, which received ar
encore, Powell's orchestra rendered
selections, and tambourine drill
was rendered beautifully bv girls OF
the Freshman and Sophomore classes,
dressed in white, with red sashes.
The girls seemed to enter into the
spirit of the drill. and showed excel
lent training by Miss Ferrin. Music
for the drill was rendered by Miss
Gladys McFarlane, pianist. and Hiram
Mcclellan, violinist, both of whom de,
serve credit for their excellent work.
Special credit should be given Miss
Ferrin. who directed the play. and
who filled in a finished manner, part
made suddenly vacant,
A large number enjoyed the prom
enade and dance after the play. The
receipts of the evening were 500.
