Rumors and Rumors.

There are rumors and rumors; some
are idle and some are not: all are fly-
ing and all possess the faculty Of grow.
ing In their rapid passage. Let the one
who doubts these pIatitudes consider for
"a moment the tales which circulated
freely III this city yesterday morning
about The wreck on the Central Ner-
mont railway at Randolph True, the
accident, was serious, twenty persons
being more or less injured, but how in
significant was the truth as compared
with rumors. Lip passed it to lip that
few persons were killed, and as new
lips gave il to still newer lips, the death
list grew amazingly until it was com
mon talk that thirty-four persons were
killed, and none was so bold as to place
limit on the number of injured.
And in the meantime men who were
even then on the streets heard that
they were among the dead. Certainly
they were not alarmed at such exag-
gefated reports, but perhaps there was
someone who was; yes, almost Of neces'
sity there was, and expressions OF need
less regret were 10 be heard.
Rumors are as relentless and cruel as
apparently they are natural. The hui
man mind seems to have some strange
affinity to such idle talk, little needing
the momentary suffering that il may
cause In railroad community such
as this, where brave men daily face
the modern danger OF railroading. 1t

more precautiou 10 his spreading Of ru-
mors The public should rely upon Off

HOTELS IN VERMONT.

The formal opening Of Burlington's
new hotel last evening, with the gov
ornor, congressman, Il mayor or two,
other officials and several hundred repre-.
sentative citizens in attendance, marks
an important step in the consummation
of widely expressed desire for more
and better hotels in Vermont. Good
hotels are very powerful magnet; and
on the other hand, poor hotels are as
powerful repellent For many years
Vermont has been repelling people be-
cause Of the lack OF good hotel accom-
modations, but latterly, the state has
been awakening to the needs; aud the
construction Of the fine hostelry in BUR-
lington is one Of the indications Of the
awakening. 10 will be surprising II the
new hotel does not attract a great many
people to Vermont, not alone to Bur-
lington, but to other places as well,
Moreover the new hotel, although not
pioneer, viii most like
ly be the incentive for the construction
Of other hotels throughout the state, as
the benefits reveal themselves. It is
not likely that so pretentious strue-
ture as the hotel Vermont win be erect.

as the new hotel fills Burlington's. This
is said not in disparagement OF the ho.
