AUTOS CoLLIDED AT GULF.
Both Machines Damaged and Occupants
Considerably Shaken Up.

Two 1914 Buick automobiles, one
owned and operated by w. c. Webster OF
this city, and the other said to be owned
by +. s. Blossom, Bethel merchant,
came together with heavy crash in
the Williamstown gulf early on the
morning of Labor day. Each car lost
a wheel in the shuttle, the running board,
mudguard and lamps on one side of the
Webster machine were damaged beyond
repair and the windshield on the same
car was shattered. Mr. Blossom saw the
mudguard and running board on his car
ripped off when the autos came to-
gether,
Probably the man who feels the most
serious physical effects OF the accident is
Hiram b. Young, fireman OF this city,
who was hurled through the windshield
in Mr. Webster's car. He occupied one
of the front seats and the collision
caught him OFF his balance Mr. Webster
and others with him in the machine were
bruised and members of Mr.. Blossoms
party were badly shaken up Mr..
Young is nursing a painful abrasion on
the forehead, although he was fortunate
TO escape any serious cuts when the
glass began to fall. According to those
who participated in the accident, the
cars met on a sharp enrve near the res
idence of Doctor AFRO Reed. They came
together so suddenly that neither driver
was able to bring his auto TO halt in
time 20 avert the collision. The ma.
chimes limped to Barre under their own
power.

for the 45th annual re-opening of the

list of teachers announced by the semi

remains unchanged from that OF last
year. Everything augurs well for a sue
cessful year at the seminary. While all
students who have indicated their pur-
pose to attend school on the hill
were not present this forenoon, it was
evident that the total enrolment is to
equal if it does not exceed last years
record breaking registration.
There are something like 200 students
at the seminary. Not enough room could
be found in the building to accommodate
all boarding students to-day and it was
necessary TO engage rooms outside the
campus. The steward and matron are
