ARLINGTON TOWN MEETING
Special Meeting Called to Elect
Selectman

Editor of The Banner:-At the spe.
cial town meeting called May 16,
1912, to elect selectman to fill out
the unexpired term Of the late Z. II.
Mcdonald, the voters would do well
to remember that they have a man
who has served in the capacity of sci.
ectman several years, one who has
the interests of the town at heart. He
is also a large tax payer and is IA
miliar with the finances OF the town
and If he will serve, will do so with
out fear or favor and for the best
interests of the voters. We refer TO
p. b. Baldwin. a man who has been
tried and never found wanting.
The bridges in Arlington will need
many repairs the coming year which
means quite an expense to the town.
Mr.. Baldwin was for many years
master bridgeman for the old Ben.
nington and Rutland railroad and is
thoroughly familiar with this work.
and IL surely needs some one on the
board OF selectmen who has had ex.
perience and who can save the town
expense and see that the tax is pro.
perly expended.

TROLLEY CARS IN

Motorman Earl Clark Was
Fatally Injured
PASSENGERS SLIGHTLY HURT
Electric Express to Fair Haven Met
Passenger Car Coming at
High Speed

Rutland, May 6.-Nearly a score of
passengers narrowly escaped death
this afternoon when the electric ex-
press and main line passenger car
colided at Parons curve, a mile west
OF Castleton.
The two cars crashed into each
other, head-in and Earl Clark of this
city, motorman of the passenger car.
was crushed, probably fatally, both
| legs being broken beside serious in
ternal injuries. 1t was said at the
Rutland City hospital tonight that he
could not live, he being too weak to
submit to an operation He has two
sisters and wife and child living in
| Rutland.
The accident occurred at a point
between Castleton and Castleton Cor
ners, where the track runs along the
edge of a precipice, 300 feet in
depth. The land drops off suddenly
from the tracks and the fact that the
cars kept the rails is the only thing
that saved the lives of the passen-
gers.
Several were badly shaken. Mrs.
Guy Wilcox of Grove street, this city,
and her sister, Mrs. Meacham of Ben
son, were bruised. They were seat
ed in the middle of the car and were
thrown over the seat, striking on the
backs of the seat ahead. Both were
cut and bruised about the head. Mrs
Wilcox had recently recovered from
serious illness and tonight she was
suffering greatly from the shock.

ASTOR's WILL LIED
Leaves an Estate Estimated at From
s75,ooo,oOo to s15o,ooo,ooo Most
ly to Son, Vincent Aston

New York, May 7.-Counsel for the
family made public last night the
will of John Jacob Aston, as drawn
in New York city in September last,
only few days after his marriage to
Miss Madeleine Talmage Force, and
approximately seven months before
he persisted with the sinking Of the
Titanic. Vincent Aston a son, who
will come of age within the year, is
made the principal beneficiary and
residuary legatee. Nothing as to the
value of the great estate is given,
and by the creation of trust funds the
testator has followed, as far as pos
sible, the custom Of his forbears in
keeping the vast Aston real estate
holdings intact. Valuations of the
estate run anywhere from $4,000, 900
to S150000,000 A close friend of the
family said last night that, in his OPP
inion, the smaller figure was nearer
the correct estimate
Aside from provisions for Vincent
Aston the will provides for uncondi-
tional requests of only $276,5O0.
Among these there is but one of a
charitable nature. This is 100000
to St Pauls school at Concord, n. II
The remainder of the legacies are to
relatives, friends and faithful ser
wants Nearly all the other provis
ions of the will, as made public, deal
with the trust funds, of which there
are three-S5, 100000 for the young
widow, 100000 for the colonel's
young daughter Muriel, the child Of
HIS former wife, Ava Willing Astor
and s3000,000 for the expected pos
thumous child of the present widow
4 This last clause provides for "eacf
child who shall survive the testatol
other than his son, William Vincent
and his daughter, Ava Alice Muriel
