Tremendous enthusiasm was evoked
during the address of Rev. Shaw

would give the sum Of three thousand
dollars to the building fund of the
an ardor that was inten-
sified a few minutes later when Gen.
Maupin said that he and his wife had
decided to make a donation of two
thousand dollars for the same pur-
pose. The enthusiasm which these
generous offers created became al
most tumultous when 1t was an
nounced that r. W. Foster would also
give one thousand dollars to the
building fund. Gen. Maupin stated
that five hundred members of Canon

Fatal Injuries to Brakeman.

Hugh H. Bishop of Rutland, q years
old, brakeman on the Rutland rail-
road, was fatally injured early Satur-
day morning at Vergennes. He was
caught between two freight cars, while
attempting to couple them and sus-
tanned injuries that resulted in his
death at Mary Fletcher hospital few
hours later.
The freight train of which Bishop was
one of the crew, was shifting cars in
the Vergennes yard, when Bishop, try
ing to adjust coupling, slipped and
was caught between two cars. He was
discovered Immediately and a hurried
call brought DR.. F. C. Phelps to the
scene of the accident.
1t was quickly discovered that Bishop
was probably fatally injured, and DR..
F. E. Clark, Rutland railroad surgeon,
was notified. He in turn notified the
hospital and arranged for the ambulan ce
to meet the mail train, which arrived in
Burlington at 4:10.
The injured man was accompanied to
this city by DIR. Phelps, and met at the
train by DR.. Clark. He was rushed to
the hospital but he was beyond all med
ical aid, his death occurring in about 20
minutes. On examination it was found
that the right hip was frightfully
crushed as was his pelvis. He also
sustained internal injuries. The body
was taken to his home in Rutland on
the 8:15 train. Bishop leaves a wife
and one child at Rutland.
