STRUCK BY ENGINE
SectiOnman Instantly Killed
While Working on Track
Failed to Get Out of Way of
Engine.

Benjamin Houle, member of the
section crew under foreman Will
Webster, while working on the track
near the underpass not far from
Summit, was struck by an engine
Monday about noon and instantly
killed. He was thrown quite a dis
tance, the left leg and arm broken,
and head fractured. The wound in
the head was fatal and life was ex-
tinct when the body was first reach
ed by his fellow-workers.
The train consisted of an engine
and caboose, running light from Is
land Pond to Richmond. All the
other members of the crew on the
track had plenty of time to get out
of the way of the oncoming train
The foremans Mr.. Webster, saw Mr.
Houle on the track after the others
were out of the way and called to
him to get off. Houle was driving
spikes and stood facing the engine
when struck. Why he should delay
getting off the track when the train
was directly facing him, is one Of
those singular circumstances that
cannot be explained.
- Mr.. Houle was about 55 years cid
and leaves wife and several chill
dren. The family live on Railroad
street in tenement of DR.. Ellie
The funeral was held Wednesday
morning at 9 o'clock at the Roman
Catholic church of st. James the
Greater.

Editor of The HERALD:

Editor OF IHE HERALD:
! am glad you have started an agi-
tation in favor of changing or rather
of correcting the false name under
which my old home and its lake have
so long been misrepresented. The
name Island Pond" is we'll known
in Merlden and | have often been
asked why the village bears such a
name if the lake be such beautiful
body of water as | am accustomed
to describe it. Lam ever forced to
answer that | don't know.
I have travelled through the
greater part of New England and
other sections of our country and |
am frank to confess that | have
never anywhere seen anything of its
kind more beautiful. 1t twould seem
as if the Green Mountain range
opened its arms to coax this body of
water to nestle on it's bosom, and
then as if to further enhance the
beauty Of the scene placed an emerald
gem in it's center. Placed 1900 feet
above the sea, discharging it's waters
to the north into the st. Lawrence,
we find on the other side the noun
tain streams almost at it's head rush
ing south to Long Island Sound. In
this respect alone it deserves a better
name for it holds its place at the top.
If, for an outsider to take more than
an ordinary amount of interest in
the change, it is due solely to the
fact that happen to be one of the
few survivors of the original settlers
! of Island Pond. | bathed in the wa
ters Of that lake before the whistle
of the first steam engine echoed over
its surface. Although separated by
more than two score years from my
old Vermont home, it still retains a
warm place in my heart. | still have
vivid recollection of every nook
and corner around borders of the
lake.
| believe it was some poet who said
that a rose by any other name would
smell as sweet; so Island Pond, by
any other name will always be the
same to me. In regard to the OBJ
jections urged against the change of
name, | must say that from my point
of view they have no foundation in
fact. | believe that all legal docu.
ments, as we'll as all town and court
records are, and always have been
filed under the head of the Town OF
Brighton. Any letter addressed
from any part of the country tC
Brighton, VT, will find its way into
the Island Pond postoffice. The only
ones Inconvenience in any way by
he>change are the Grand Trunk
railway company, and even they
only to the extent of changing the
name on the time table. The senti
mental side of the case ought to be
ruled out of court, for when it is ;
question of correcting an error ol
righting wrong, sentiment shoulC
have no voice in the matter.
