FLYER DERAlLED.
Marrow Escape From Going Down
rs Foot Embankment

The north-bound flyer over the Rut-
land railroad, which leaves Middlebury
at $40, was derailed while running at
high speed short distance north of
Beldens Sunday evening. All but the
engine left the rails. The accident
happened just after the locomotive had
passed over the high bridge over the
New Haven river but fortunately two
of the derailed cars which stopped on
the bridge did not topple over into the
river gorge SO feet below. The bridge
is $50 feet long.
1t is not known definitely, but the
most plausible reason for the accident
is that it was due to spreading rails.
the train was 20 minutes behind
schedule time and was running about
40 miles an hour when the two day
coaches, two Pullmans and combina-
tion baggage car left the irons and
went for 300 yards over the ties before
stopping. The chair car tipped over
on one side and came to a stop 10 feet
from the track on the slope of rs
foot embankment.
The engineer of the train was
George K. Kenney and E. d. Welch
was conductor. Both live in Rutland.
There were about IS passengers on
the train and in the Pullmans in which
most of those injured were riding. Most
of the travellers were women and
children.
The southbound evening train was
stopped just north of the wreck and it
took the injured persons to Burlington.
The passengers on the southbound train
were transferred around the wreck.
Word was at once sent to Middlebury
and Drs. S. S. Eddy, Dorey and White
hurried to the scene. Rev. Father j.
u. Shannon of this village also went to
the scene with the belief that some of
the injured were fatally hurt.
The injured are: O. S. Bresley of
Burlington, left side and head injured;
Miss M. A. Duisseau of Seceao, P. O.,
injured about the back and head; Miss
Clara Eunger of New York, seriously
I injured on the left leg and back of the
head; Miss E. Derrick of ST. Albans,
injured on left leg and right side; Mrs.
George R. Henderson of Montclair, N.
j., head and back and left arm injured
Charles M. Williams of New York
scalp wounds.
A wrecking crew soon arrived on the
scene but it was Monday noon wher
through traffic was resumed.

Improvement Society Entertain
rnenf

The "Cafe Chantant" at the town
hall Tuesday and Wednesday evenings
of this week was a success in every
way and the Improvement society
have great reason to be satisfied
with their efforts. A good sum
will be realized for the summers S
work. AS looked on the scene from the
gallery the whole effect was most at
tractive. Daintily decorated tables,
garlands of green and yellow, maids in
white, serving light refreshments all
together made an unusually pretty
sight, while Vittum orchestra renderd
brilliant and popular music. A band of
handsome Gypsy girls led by Miss Vera
Suter sang and danced both on and off
the stage. Miss Suter sang her solos
brilliantly and was received with en-
thusiasm. Eight cunning little girls
gave doll DrilP' and sang songs.
College boys played popular selections
on mandolins and Master George Rus
sell sang Take Me to the Cabaret. :"
Last of all came the three little Jap
anese maids from School, " led by Miss
Grace Mead as "Yum Yum" Dainty
and sly, they looked as they sang
selections from Mikado. Miss Mead
also sang a japanese love song in a
sweet, clear voice and bewitching
manner, responding graciously to her
encore. Dancing, throwing confetti
and jolly good time closed the enter
tainment

VERMONT CONGREGATIONAL
CONFERENCE

The annual meeting of the Congrega-
tional conference is to be held at St.
Johnsbury May 20 to %. Each church
is entitled to representation by pastor
and one delegate. AS there are 214
churches, the possible enrolment is
about 400, but the actual enrolment
rarely exceeds $50. Usually more than
one-third of the members are lay dele
gates.
In alternate years layman presides.
This year the president is Rev. G. w.
c. Hill of St. Johnsbury. The vice
president is George M. Hogan, mem
ber of the Franklin County bar.
This body does not legisate for the
churches. 1t is mistake to speak of
the Congregational Church in YER
mont. " Congregatioanlists jealously
guard the authority of the local church,
and insist that the churches of the
state be referred to in the plural num-
ber. Yet there is a feeling now that
the idea of home rule has been carried
TOO 1ar. The National Council Com
mission of Nineteen" has recommended
some important changes in policy, look
ing toward a closer and more efficient
cooperation of the churches in county,
state, and nation. Three delegates are
to be elected to the National Council,
which will hold it's triennial session at
Kansas City next October. The men
less progressive views, but probably the
delegates will be uninstructed.
AS at the recent sessions, there will!
very likely be some discussion of the
