The debt less $270,934,924 available cash items (in- cluding $100,000,000 reserve) and $27,780,051 net cash in the treasury, is now $1,382,468,809. STATE ITEMS. St. Johnsbury's toboggan slide has been successfully opened. John E. Nash of Hinesburgh broke his leg below the knee while handling logs. William A. Patrick, Jr., while wrestling at Rutland with a compan- ion, broke both bones of his left lee the bridge, caused by the breaking of one of the axles nearly in the middle of this car, the two pieces of which have since been found. There are marks and cuts on the ties made by the ends of the broken axle. When the bridge was reached this car went over the side and pulled with it the other sleeper and passenger coaches which fell to the ice 60 feet below. Mr. Henry W. Tewksbury of West Randolph, Vt., says that he was in the first day coach. He was dozing at the time of the accident, but was The Dependent Pension Bill. Several Mugwump papers, notably the New York Evening Post, have made a series of savage attacks upon the measure known as the "Depen- dent Pension Bill," which has passed both branches of Congress and is now In the hands of the President. It i3 a fact certainly well known to all those who were in the service during the late war that many men who were not disabled in the line of duty re- turned to their homes with the germs of disease rooted in their who proved to be Mr. Charles C. Domett, of the Maverick National Bank, who, by means of boards and cushions, had cleared for himself a space, and was found uninjured in a comparatively safe condition, except that he was threatened by the flames. Mr. Domett and I then rescued a lady on the same car. Later on I found the girl I had rescued in her night- dress, lying where I left her. She begged me to draw her further from the burning wreck, and with the as- sistance of an unknown gentleman we drew her and several others away CONQUERED S WAYNE'S VERMIFUCl i.exerc ise dailApaNACEA TH i f "T COOD FOOD PURIFIES NjJEDICI ot RESTORER I -(- ENGLISH) I .

The imports of the United States for twelve months ending Dec. 31st were $663,417,210, and the exports ?Ml3,2ey,6tb. lhe increase or im ports orer 1885 was $75,518,537, and of exports $25,039,898. Senator Ingalls says that he re- - ceives many letters from persons in all parts of the country who are anx- ious to back him up in a war with England, or who are ready to seize Canada at a moment's warning. The contest for United States Sena- tor to succeed Mr. Maxey, of Texas was ended Tuesday in the Texas Leg- islature by the selection of John H. Reagan. He was in Congress before the war, and has served continuously in the House since 1876. " If these internal revenue laws are not repealed by the Democratic par- ty." says the Atlanta Constitution, 44 the campaign of 1888 will result in a defeat of the party, and this defeat will be brought about by defection in Virginia,'" Korth Carolina and Tennes see." An outbreak of war in. the early spring in Europev seems to be almost a foresrone conclusion. It is not at all likely that Germany and France can be longer kept apart, judging from the news that comes across the sea, and other nations are likely to be embroiled. Hon. Geo. H. Pendleton, U. S Minister to Germany, arrived in New York last week. Has he come home to be made Secretary of the Treasury? It is hinted that such is the case. It is also said that he is an applicant for appointment as one of the Commis sioners under the Interstate Com merce bill. The New York World, the leading Democratic paper In this country, warns the Democrats in the New Jer- sey Legislature that they are making fools of themselves, and throwing awa3T by their farcical proceedings whatever advantages they may have had. This ought to be enough to bring them to their senses. The Democrats in Indiana won over the labor member Robinson, Wednes- day, and gave David Turpie 76 votes for U. S. Senator to 71 for Senator Harrison and declared Turpie elected. The Republicans do not concede the struggle ended because a Democratic member was seated who had no title to the office. The contest will now come up in the Senate. The Michigan State Senate, which is Republican, has passed the joint resolution to submit a prohibitory amendment to a vote of the people by a vote of 22 to 10. The resolution had already passed the Republican House. For this action the Republi- can Legislators have no doubt in- curred the bitter enmity of the Pro- hibition leaders. The Vermont Mutual. At a meeting of the directors of the Vermont Mutual Fire Insurance Co., held Feb. 2, Hon. W. H. II. Bing ham tendered his resignation as Pres ident of the company, which, at his urgent desire and request, was ac- cepted. The company still retain the services of Mr. Bingham as director . Subsequently the following resolution was presented and unanimously adop ted : Besolved, That the retirement of Hon. W. H. H. Bingham from the Presidency of this comyany, after a service of 35 year3 as director aud for the past ten years as President, the company lose a faithful executive officer and his associate direc tors a genial and courteous chairman, and the directors desire to tender to him at this time a continuance of the high es teem and personal regard which they have for go Ions: had for him, and feel a iust pride in his long: and honorable rec ord while in the service of this company, and thev express the hope that he will continue to remain in the board and give to the eompany the benefit of the long experience he has had in its affairs. Hon. Fred E. Smith, the Vice Pres- ident, was then unanimously elected President, to fill the vacancy occa- sioned by Mr. Bingham's retirement, and Charles T. Sabin was chosen Vice President. Hon. F. E. Smith, as many of our readers know, is a suc- cessful and clear headed business man, and during his connection with the company has made himself thor- oughly conversant with all the details of its business. He is a careful and conservative fire underwriter. His administration of the company's af- fairs in all its departments will be sure to be conducted upon approved business principles and will undoubt- edly commend itself to the confidence of the policy-holde- rs of the company throughout the State. Mr. Charles T. Sabin, who succeeds Mr. Smith as Vice President, has been an active director of the company for several years, is a careful business man and will make a good officer. Free Press. Divorce Statistics. The National Divorce Reform League, of which Bishop Paddock is president, and Rev S. W. Dike secretary, has just issued its annual report, from which are gleaned the following encouraging facts: Five national religious bodies have, within the year, memorialized congress and the president on the sub- ject of divorce reform in the territo- ries; an appropriation by ' congress for collecting statistics on the subject of marriage and divorce, which passed the senate last session seems likely to become a law this session ; Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachu- setts, New York and New Jersey have reformed their divorce laws or taken other important legislative action in the matter. In Connecticut, Rhode Island, Pennsylvania and Ohio the governors have urged reform. As an indication of what can be done by agi- tation and persistance, it is noteworthy that in Vermont, Mr. Dike's first field of labor, the number of divorces, which in 1884 was 200, in 1885 was but 95.

One of the most terrible and liorri ..,. Ll - oie accidents mat ever occurred in Vermont happened early Saturday morning to the night express North The engine, baggage, mail car and smoker passed along all right, and the two Pullman cars, and the regular passenger cars were derailed and plunged into the frozen river, 60 feet below. Almost immediately the wreck took fire from the overturned stoves and a terrible scene ensued. The shrieks of the wounded and dying rang out with startling effect upon the stillness of the midnight air, and min gled with the cries of agony were the tones of those passengers who were not hurt but had lost friends, vainly calling their names The train was loaded, the Pullman cars containing many who were going through to Montreal to attend the carnival. Many were killed in the terrible fall, but some who could be heard calling for help were unable to extricate themselves and the rescuers were unable to reach them. Shortly their cries would cease, showing that the devouring element had done its cruel work. The Boston Herald ofTotsday says : It is reported that Mi. Horace Fairbanks, wife of the is among the lost. She was. to have been on the ill-fat- train, and it is said that her cloak and: watch have been found. The Governor was there Sunday looking for ber body. The remains of D. D. "Woodward of Wat- - erbury were sent home Monday. lhe board of Railroad Commission ers consisting of Ex-Go- v. Pingree, T. C. Fletcher and H. L. Clark, began their investigation of the cause of the terrible disaster Monday afternoon. Their headquarters are at White Riv er Junction. lhe investigation is likely to last, some time, and some in- teresting testimony of thrilling per sonal experiences will be elicited. Thus far the testimony of the engineer has been taken. Geo. II. Parker, the brakeman who escaped and gave the alarm at the Junction, will be the next witness THE CAUSE. While the first day's hearing did not shed any direct light upon the cause ot the disaster, it is thought that it will be decided upon eventu ally that a journal on the rear car, the Puritan, broke at a point about 20 rods from the bridge, or at the 18th rail, which was broken into several pieces,, and after tearing along struck the heavy beams of the bridge and was thrown off, pulling the other cars after it. This will explain how the other cars kept the track and why the last car pulled over the others- - Had there been a broken rail to begin with, the engine, or certainly some of the forward cars would have been thrown instead of the last. NOBLE WORK OF POSTAL CLERK PE11KINS A THRILLING NARRATIVE Mr. Moses Perkins, clerk of the postal car and proprietor of Perkins' hotel at Epping, N. H., told the fol lowing story : "The first thing I knew I felt a sudden jerk, as though we had struck something. I ran to the door and said : 'My God, the cars have gone into the river. Get ready, Arming- - ton and go with me to the rescue.' I took the axe and crow-b- ar and made all possible haste back across the bridge, and down the embankment of the river to the wreck. The condi- tion of affairs there was beyond the power of mind to adequately portray. The piteous cries of the wounded and helpless were heart rending, and when the flames burst out and enveloped the cars, the scene was appalling. It would not do to be fear-stalke- d, so I Bet to work relieving the imprisoned passengers. I had to work alone. lhe nrst person l lound was our brakeman, Ed. Banks, of West Leb anon, lie said: 'Where are wer 1 said :'I don't know. Let us get out some of the men who are in these cars, ihey were shrieking and call ing for help. I went to the second sleeper in answer to calls there for help, and I found a man who had managed to extricate himself from that portion of the wreck, dressed only in his shirt and drawers. The car was in flames and he was trying to pull out a gentleman and his wife. We succeeded in rescuing them and laid them out upon the snow. This gentleman and myself were the only ones there at the time, as none of the villagers had reached the scene. The only ones who were on the train and did not fall from the bridge were my self, my partner Armington, Baggage-mast- er Cole, of Pennacook, Express- man Robbins, the engineer and fire- man, a man by the name ot Prue, and one other whose name I do not recall. After we had carefully placed this gentleman and his wife in the snow, the voice of a girl inBide the car attracted my attention, asking if 1 could not help her. I said I would try. I reached in and caught hold of her, but could not move her. She said she was pinned down by her night dress, and if I could give her a knife she thought she could release herself, 1 gave her a knife and she cut the night-dres- s and I drew her out, but found she could not stand. I found a blanket, wrapped her in it and laid her on the snow. I was then attrac ted by the voice of an elderly gentle- man in the first coach, then on fire, calliDg lor some one to save his broth er. I ran there with my axe, hewed away until I found a man lying flat upon his Btomach, piteously begging to be helped out. 1 got him out be fore the flames reached that end and laid him on the snow. He was after' ward taken to Payne's house, where he died. By that time the heat from the burning bridge drove me away, and I went to the second sleeper Here I tried to get out a man who was wedged in. I succeeded and put him on the snow, but have no further knowledge of him. I then went to the rear sleeper, where there were loud cries for help. I found a man A Beautiful Home Book has come to our notice entitled Golden Thoughts on Mother, Home and Heaven. Edited by Theo. L. Cuyler, D. D., and others.

The other members of the board were notified of the arrangement and did not assemble. Meantime the case is suspended awaiting the carrying out of said arrangement. Temperance Instruction. The teachers of our country are re- alizing the necessity of temperance instruction as never before. It has been found that work expended for the reformation of old drinkers pavs a small per cent, of profit, while work in the school and home of the youth yields a large and sure return. When a young man makes up his mind not to drink after he has learned the ef- fect of Alcohol on the system, he is pretty sure to keep the same mind as long as he lives. There are several reasons why so many of our young men become drunkards : First, they do not believe that alcohol is a poison ; beer, wine and even a little whiskey, now and then, they think is entirely harmless. Ihey are fortified by no physiological argument. In fact they often thins that liquor, if used in moderation is "one of the good crea tures of God. Then they have never seen the economical side of the question, fifteen cents a day for drink and as much for cigars is not thought of. It is not much. They never have calculated that it will amount tcmore than ar hundred dol lars a year, and that if put at inter est for ten years it will yield a sum sufficient to buy a very good house in a respectable village. The truth is that nine out of ten oung men have graduated with good business educa tion on almost all subjects except temperance. They have been preached to, lectured to and exhorted about it, but never instructed. Now the times are changing and temperance instruc- tion must constitute a part of all pub lic school work. Let us be thankful that the law has come in to aid the reformer, and let it be remembered that an7 teacher who disregards the teaching of temperance physiology and economy is not only violating statute enactment, but also doing in- calculable injury to the young men and women committed to his care. Very few are aware of the advances being made in horticulture and the nur- sery business who have not seen Lovett's Guide to Fruit Culture for 1887. The fruits now ottered are, in many instances, so vastly superior to those of the past that they can be regarded us little less than marvelous. Not only have adranc-e- s been accomplished in the fruits them- selves; for the improvements iu distrib- uting the trees and plants that produce thetn, to all parts of the country, have been equally great. By these modern methods a farmer or fruit grower can sit at his fireside and, in addition to having nursery stock delivered at his home, at half the cost of the old way, get just what he wants and orders, absolutely true to name and in perfect condition for growing at the proper season for plant- ing. "Lovett's Guide" tells the whole story about the fruits, giving their defects as well as their merits. It is a book of 70 pages, with a beautiful chromo-lith- o- graphic cover. Price 10 cents. Pamph lets and circulars tree. Address J. T. Lovett, Little Silver, New Jersey. BOSTON MARKET. Boston, Feh. sth, 1887. Flour.

Realizing that an acci dent was about to occur, he jumped from his seat with the intention of making his escape. The train seemed to come to a standstill or go very slow, He thought it was all right and so sat down asain. Then, without a mo ment's notice that anything further was to occur, the car seemed to leap into space, and th"n came a terrible crash. For a moment he was stun- ned, and hardly knew whether he was alive or dead. He tried to move, but could not budge an inch. He noticed with great alarm that fire had broken out at the further end of tne car. He struggled with all his strength to free himself, and screamed for help, but there was no one at hand to help him. It iv&s a time of mental torture, but still he could not help noticing an old couple a few seats above him. They sought to get out, but were helplessly tied down by heavy seats. The flames approached the couple with frightful rapidity, and the aged pair seemed to feel there was no hope for them. The last he saw of them they were looked in each other's arms and in the act of kissing. The smoke and flames now enveloped them, hiding them from view. Mr. Tewksbury then gave himself up for lost. He seized his fur cap and wound it around his face so as to coyer his eyes and hide the dreadful view of approaching death. At this time the railroad bridge above him was one mass of fire and heavy burning timbers were falling all above him. Having leaned back resignedly to meet what seemed his fearful fate, his hopes ot lite were re newed by hearing voices. He unwound his fur cap and saw the engineer and fire man close at hand. He called to them frantically for assistance, which they proffered at once. Seizing hold of him his rescuers sought to pull him out, but failed. Thinking that his was a hopeless case, they were about to leave him and help others, but begged them to try asain, and to break his leg It necessary They did so and managed to get him out, breaking the leg and arm in the effort. The flames were so close upon Mr. Tewksbury that his clothing was burned from his body. THE NUMBER OF VICTIMS. The list of wounded prepared by Dr. Grinnell does not change the total num- ber from 3G, of whom Conductor Sturte vant only has died, and only three others are in a critical condition. Dr. Bing ham has been busily engaged since Sat urday morning In treating the wounded and has assumed full charge, with an ef- ficient corps of assistants. There is heresay evidence of three others injured who went away immediately after the accident. Xearly all the dead show frac tures of the skull and every case of the wounded shows injury to head and face It is thought hardly any person killed was not first stunned by the fall and so suffered little from fire. The number of bodies recovered is 32. KILLED. The following is the list of those who have been killed and have been identi fied as far as names have been ascertain ed: Ed. F. Dillon, Dartmouth. S. S.

There will be a Norwegian in the Fiftieth Congress in the place of the late Mr. Price of Wisconsin, and he will be one of its greatest men so far as expansion is concerned. Mr. Nils Haugen is six feet four inches and weighs three hundred pounds. He is thoroughly American in speech and manner, however, having come to this country when a babe. He was edu- cated at Ann Arbor, Michigan, and has been in the Wisconsin legislature for several terras. He has been State Railroad Commissioner since 1882, and is also a stenographer, having made his living reporting at court at one time. From 6 to 10 Americans are said to visit Pasteur every day for treatment, many of whom have been bitten by their pet dogs. Take, for instance, a campaign like that which ended in the surrender of Lee at Appomattox a campaign which embraced twelve days of the severest effort, and of constant ex- posure without food, days in which there were no hours of rest at all, and during several of which men were wet to the skin, sleeping, when they had opportunity, on the damp grouud in wet clothing, and often without a covering, in the chill March and early April air is it not probable that thou- sands of men had their constitutions so weakened by this exposure and privation that, while they went out of the army six weeks later apparently sound men, the seeds of insidious dis- ease, which appeared soon after in the form of rheumatism and the kin- dred ailments which always show themselves in bodies in which the mainspring of action and vigor has been weakened by being overstrung ? And yet these men, who are as much invalids by the services as if they had been wounded, cannot get pen- sions under the existing laws. Many of the men in the .5ice at the close of the war were over 40 years of age, and not a few over 45. These men are now nearing 65 so old that if the escaped serious injury they are unable to earn their bread by daily toil. Shall such men, who have faith- fully served their country, and who are now the objects of public and pri- vate charity through no misconduct on their part, be sent to poor-hous- es with the consent of a rich nation of sixty millions of people, which to- day would not be a nation but for the efforts, the privatioDS and the sacri- fices of these men and their comrades? An3T man who was in the army and now has any extended acquaintance with those who were in the same or- ganization can recall a number of men who were good soldiors, but who are now poverty-stricke- n because they are unable to labor as other men are by reason of premature infirmaties, due to hardships while in the service. Massachusetts,rememberingthe pledg- es of the great-hearte- d Andrew, has cared for these broken down men or the widows of those who have died without pension, paying annually out of the treasury of the Commonwealth nearly $375,000 for their assistance. The Grand Army of the Republic has ascertained that seven thousand are in the poor houses of the country, and a8 many more are de- pending upon private charity. The best and most influential men in that organization believe that this ought not to be ; and the National encamp- ment, at the head of which is Gen. Lucius Fairchild, a man who is re spected throughout the country for his high character and patriotism, has made a strenuous effort to secure the passage of the bill which is now in the hands of the President. They arc neither greedy claim agent3 nor self- - seeKers, duc tue intelligent represen- tatives of an organization to whose roll call three hundred thousand ex soldiers respond. In the name of that notable and historic remnant, thev ask that deservingjrz-soldier- s be re lieved from the ignominy of pauper ism. lo this demand a class of newspapers declare that these men would open the door to great frauds. and dilate upon a story of soldiers of the Revolution who, under a similar law, put their property out of their hands in order to avail themselves of a small stipend of $80 or $90 a year, and that many who were not soldiers got the pension. Fortunately . the rec 1 t i in orus oi tue soiaiers oi me late war are full, so that no such imposition can be practiced now, if it ever was. Moreover, the ten thousand Grand Army posts scattered throughout the country will zealously guard against the pensioning of unworthy persons under the pending bill. The extreme bitterness with which some of the papers have attacked the measure and its supporters i3 aston- ishing. The New York Post, for in- stance, alludes to them and those who will seek its benefits as Hessians and plunderers. Fortunately the Ameri- can people are not afflicted with the Anglomania and remember with grat- itude the soldiers of the late war. Congress has made haste to vote lib- eral, not to say lavish, pensions to the widows of high officers who were not in special need and has received the cordial approval of the country why should it neglect the actually needy in the rank and file? Much has been said about the cost of the Dependent bill, lhe outside estimates do not put the annual cost at over four or five millions and the total expense at not over forty millions at the most. Boston Journal. Partisanship. Another instance of that partisanship that overreaches itself is the removal from his seat in Congress of Major William A. Pirce, of Rhode Island. The election in the Second District in that State in 1884 was very close, the Republican ma- - jerity en the Congreonel ticket be ing only sixteen, lhe customary talk about bribery, intimidation and fraud followed the announcement of the re- sult, and Major Pirce's chief competi- tor, although not pretending under any circumstances to have secured a majority of the votes, was encouraged by his Democratic friends in Washing- ton to begin a contest. . The investi- gation proved the election to have been singularly free from irregulari- ties of any kind, and after giving the contestant the advantage of every technical point, Major Pirce still had a majority of three. But the com- mittee had apparently set out to un- seat Major Pirce, and three votes was so very small a margin that, accord- ing to the committee's logic, it must have been dishonestly obtained. And the House, by a strictly party vote, sustained the committee. The only thing to be gained was the bare possi- bility that the contestant, in the new election to be held before the 4 th of March, may be successful, and if it is, even though he may be sworn in on the last day of the session, he can draw pay for the whole term and so reimburse himself for the expenses of his contest. Acts of open injustice like this generally react upon those who are guilty of them, and we should not be surprised if this unwarranted proceeding on the part of a partisan majority had a marked effect upon the election that is to take place in the same Rhode Island district in April next. Prank Leslie s. Thb Rev. Gbo. II. TliATRR, of Bourbon.Ind says: "Both myself and wife owe our lives to Simon's consumption cure."

AT THE PAINE HOUSE. The scene at Paine's house near by was tiying even to men of the stout- est nerve, but Mrs. Paine and her mother, actuated by womanly sympa thy, did everything the limited means of the house would permit to relieve the sufferings of humanity. Nothing but moans and groans could be heard, mingled with pitiful anneals to God to restore them to their friends of whom they could learn nothing, and who, even then, might be slowlv burning up in the flames that were consuming the wrecked cars and bridge. Nearly every one was chilled through, and were begging " for God's sake, give me something warm : I m freezing ! " Faithfully the'se two brave women worked, giving hot ginger tea, cam- phor, hot tea, and coffee until their supply was exhausted. In the meantime, two or three died, but no one was present to remove them until the train came from White River Junction with the surgeons on board. After the floor and beds down stairs had been covered by people, five or six went up stairs and lay down. At the house of Mr. Paine the freez ing and suffering people would whisper to each other, asking, " who are you r "What is your name? "Have you any friends on board the train ?" And the replies would be greeted with pit- iful sobs and fervent supplications to the Almighty for relief. In the kitchen sat a man clad in nothing but his flannels, who was ap- parently in a dazed condition. He said nothing, but looked into vacancy. An examination revealed the fact that both his feet were frozen, and it was ascertained that he had worked so long in assisting others that he had become chilled and partially delirious. Here Smith Sturtevant, the conduc tor of the ill-fat- express, and as brave a railroader as ever lived, was laboring in the throes of death. He had been on the road some 22 years, more than half his life. He had la- bored night and day, and was never found wanting. On the first intima tion of impending danger he was cool and tried to calm the passengers by requesting them to keep their seats. After he was taken to Payne s he suffered intense agony, and was care- fully nursed by a dear and faithful wife. He realized his danger, and feelingly, for the sake of his little wife and six children, pleaded with the physicians to save him. He expressed his sorrow at having to die ; wife and children were all the time in his mind. His death was exceedingly sad, by the tenacity with which he clung to life in his last hours and the noble im- pulse that prompted his desire to live. The death of Conductor liurgess, of the sleeping-ca- r St. Albans, fur nishes an illustration of the uncertain ties of life. He was to have been married" Friday, but he wasjnable toi arrange matters so as to get leave of absence on that day. So on that ter- rible night, the eve of his prospective life's happiness, he took his car only to ride to his death and leave behind a broken-hearte- d betrothed. One of the many sad incidents was the finding of the remains of a man with a child in his arms, both burned beyond identification. The remains of those taken from the wreck were nearly all burned so severely that it was impossible for them to be identi fied. Among those who were on the ill- - fated train were A. B. Veazey, the only son of Hon. W. G. Veazey, of Rutland, a student. at Dartmouth col lege and his room mate, Edward F. Dillon of Springfield, Vt. The two had been to a ball and were on their way back to Hanover. When at White River Junction the young men decided, as it was Iriday night, to come to Burlington to spend a few hours. They took the sleeper and were occupying the same berth. Vea zey was comparatively uninjured, hav- ing only a sprained wrist, and was able to get out of the wreck. But poor Dillon was pinned down, and despite the utmost efforts of his chum who heroically remained at the side of his friend seeking to effect his release, till the devouring flames almost envel- oped him. With a parting hand-shak- e and a last good bye the two parted. Edward F. Dillon was a member of the Sophomore class and pitcher for the Dartmouth 'Varsity nine. He entered college in the fall of '84, and was a member of the class of '88 until last spring, when by reason of sick- ness, he was compelled to fall back to the class of '89. He was about 19 years of age. INTERVIEW WITH PASSENGERS. D. W. Prew of Providence, R. I., was a passenger in the coach next to the smoking car, and only escaped be- ing one of the unfortunates by taking a scat in "the smoker, lie said that Conductor Sturtevant had punched his ticket and had taken fare from a pas- senger across the aisle who gave him (Sturtevant) a five dollar bill. This he could not change, but informed the passenger that he would return with the proper change in a few moments. Mr. Prew left the car at this point, because, as he said, there was too much noise in the car made by a party of young people from Concord, N. II., en route for the Montreal carnival. As he passed into the smoker he heard a jar, and what appeared like a tug- ging at the coupling of the cars. He the door and the four re mainmg cars oi me train were seen barely for a second dashing down the sixty-fiv- e foot embankment. The train was brought to a stop as soon as possible, and backed up to the scene ol the accident. The four cars were found down the embankment com pletely overturned and in less than twenty minutes were one mass of flames. The scene beggars description Mingled with the uproar of the flames were the cries of the imprisoned pas- sengers crying " Help ! help ! help me ! " The few passengers who weie in the smoker and the employes of the railroad and the mail service were struck dumb at the terrible sight be . . I 1 II iore tuem. i,ue most collected men rendered what little service was possi- ble, but the heat of the fast burning cars would drive them away before much could be accomplished. The rear car as is shown by the po sition of the cars after they fell, left the track about 30 rods southeast of Estate of Fannie B. W. Crowelt. WILL PRESENTED.
