many places. There was one victim OF

cleft in twain and during the early
hours Of the forenoon a gang OF men did

destinies of Barre's municipal court, be-
sides directing the affairs of the grand
lodge of Vermont Odd Fellows as its

attitude toward the avocation of apiarist

subsidiary pursuits Judge Scott. who,
it may be mentioned incidentally. is
president of the Vermont Poultry asso-

and as result of his dual hobby for
bees and fancy chickens he has gained
for himself an enviable reputation
among out t-of-town bee keepers and
poultrymen.

WORKING AMONG BOYS.
W. Parkyn Jackson Tells of the Effort
Being Made in st. Albans.

| In the Congregational church yester'
| day afternoon, w. Parkyn jackson, who
is superintendent of the Stranahan Me.
| mortal in. St. Adams, told something oi
his work among boys and young men to
an attentive congregation. A mixed
quartet consisting of Miss Glee Wood
Miss Fulsom, member OF the faculty
at Montpelier seminary, Fred lnglis and
r. G. Lamont, an instructor at Goddard
seminary, sang several selections and the
pastor, Rev. j. w. Barnett, conducted
the services. In prefaeing his remarks,
NJ. jackson said he took peculiar pleas
ure in speaking once again in the local
church. since it was in the Barre Con-
g-egational church that he gave the first
sermon he ever delivered in the United
States.
The st. Adams minister declared that
every age has been the age OF the young
mar and in the course of his address he
developed the theory that only through
thorough understanding of the boy
his strong points and his Weaknesses
can the best good be worked. He placed
special emphasis on the contention that
boy could be tempted to exert himself
for good much easier than he could be
attracted by evil if the proper methods
were employed. To his audience he ad
dressed the significant question: "Your
boys, what are you doing for them?'
Turning to his own experience with
boys, Mr.. jackson described the work
nov going on in st. Albans, called at
tention to its good results as they have
been variously manifested and pictured
at length the program of the boys club
N the Railroad city. The club was or
ganized, he said, without regard to the
profession, trade or creed or color Of its
members. As an organization, it was
planned to be distinctly cosmopolitan. /
Rational recreation, reading room,
pool, billiards, outdoor games and in
are among the things provided |
'or the young men of the city. There |
lave been over 500 young men and old |
tiers affiliated with the club in the past |
'ear. A night school has a curriculum |
which includes among other studies,
horthand, telegraphy, mathematics,
urrent events, English, etc, A military I
,rganizat tion, an orchestra and an EN-
'loyment agency are among the agen
les that have contributed to its sue
ess. The speaker in the course of his
emarks, intimated that something
hould be attempted in Barre along the
anne lines.

TENDER OF FAST TRAIN
JUMPED THE IRON
Small Wreck Near West Berlin Last
Evening, When New England States
Limited Was Trying To Make
Up Lost Time

| Speeding along at the rate of about
mile minute on the downgrade from
Roxbury and Northfeld. the New Eng
land States Limited met with an acci
dent last night in West Berlin about
two miles south of Montpelier junction
when the front wheels of the engine ten.
der left the rails, tearing up the track
for the entire length of the train before
ii could be stopped. The train was
thirty minutes late at the stations along
the line and it is supposed an attempt
was being made to make up some of
the lost time.
The ties were reduced to kindling wood
and the rails twisted out of shape. No
one was injured and the train stopped
with little or no jar. The accident hap
penned on curve. with a bank on the
lower side of the track. and it seemed
that possibilities for a much more Sc
rious accident were near at hand.
Engineer John Holland OF Mortified
was in the locomotive cab and Conduc-
tor Charles Granfield was in charge of
the train
Before the accident happened. passen-
gers were remarking TO each other that
they had never travelled faster on the
downgrade in that vicinity than on the
present trip. No stop is made from Ran
dolph to Montpelier Junction, except at
and after leaving the latter
station. great momentum is acquired
as was the case last night.
The wreck train at st. Adams was
sent for and after wait of three
hours or more, a relief engine was sent
from Montpelier Junction, which hauled
the train TO that point. When il be-
came evident that a stay of some hours
would have to be made at the scene of
the accident, several passengers bound
for Montpelier and Barre started on
foot for their destination. those for the
latter place boarding the electrics at

ne OF Mortified is at work on the case,

c. Z. Chandler of Montpelier pronounced
the wound not dangerous although the
patient was in considerable pain. When

hospital yesterday the latter was unable
TO give any description of his assailants
Int he thought from their voices that
they were foreigners.
In order to intercept the men should

At the foot OF Northfield street in Mont
pelier early yesterday with instructions
tc question any persons entering the
sity from the direction of Northfeld,
while sherif's officers went to Montpel
or junction to watch for clues.

ssnyar girl at Northfield after the af
air. She denied all knowledge as to the |
IDENTITY Of the two men. Gordon is a |
