LEG CRUSHED
UNDER A CAR
Robert Lincoln Uadly In-
jurcd Near Townshend.
JESSE LANE HURT TOO
Freight Car Intended For Park' Biding
Suddenly Left Bails and Plunged
Down Embankmont West Elver Ees
idonts Hot Over Frequent Accldonts
A aerioim aeeiiletit occurred on the
Went lltver railroml a ituort distant'
north of Tuwnxhi'ii.l Tuesday morning
when a freight ear which to be
pliteed on 1'nrk's Hiding jumped the
track anil rolled down an iiiiliatikitient,
injuring two lirnketnen, Hubert Lin
coln and ,lese Lane of Townshend.
I.i Ins left leir was badly rriished
just below the knee and the hysieinuH
tire not vet sure wiiemer or noi inu
tation will be necessary. He nt tlm
liratllelsiro Memorial hospital. Lane
was bmllv cut about the back and head
but was able to ga to his home after
the neci.bnt. Both injured men were
taken to Tuwiishcnd imtnediatelv after
the accident and were attended by
Pr. Kiee and Osgood. Lincoln's leg
was placed in a cast and he was brought
to Brattleboro on h special train which
reached here early in the afternoon.
Shortly after noon the extra freight
which goes north over the road nearly
every day left Townshend, pushing in
front of the engine two freight can
which were to be left on the park sid
ing. About two mib-9 beyo.wl the vil
lage the track runs along on
embankment elevated considerably
above the highway but close to it is
n curve near what is known as Scott's
bridge. At this point the head freight
car on which Lincoln and Lane were
sitting suddenly U'M me "in ".
plunged down the emtiatiKmeni tuio
the road, carrving both men with it.
Lincoln's left leg was struck either by
, ' i i !.. M.i. :..i. ; mi.
a ear or a inrge ihiukkt h "i-
rooted and the limb was so nnuiv
crushed that the bones protruded
through the flesh. Lane was thrown
some distance and injured as already
mentioed. The car landed on its side
in the highway. .
The people along the line of the
Vst River road are more than annoy
ed bv the frequency with which acci
dents occur, and the fact that con
ditions do not seem to be growing any
Iw.tt.r makes them all the more warm.
Just what caused the accident of Tnes-
dnv is not known but the people who
have visited the scene of the derail
ment sav th-tt the track nt that point,
though on a sharp curve is practically
1..V..I Tf this is so it might easily ac
count for the accident since it is a well
known fact in the science of engineer
ing that where there is a curve tho out
side rail must be higher than the in-
sule in onicr to inane uu- nn rm.-
frame. '
With the aid of a derrick and nn
engine the derailed ear was placed on
the track Wednesday afternoon. While
assisting in the work Homer Burroughs
of West Townshend was struck by the
crank of the derrick and one bone in
his left arm was broken.
FLOYD IS ELECTED.
of
Legislature Made Him Governor
New Hampshire Wednesday.
Charles M. Floyd of Manchester, re
publican, was elected governor of Now
Hampshire by the state legislature at
the opening session of that body at
Concord Wednesday, aud was formally
inaugurated yesterday. The choice of
a governor bv the legislature was made
necessary by the failure of any candi
date at "the" November election to se
cure a majority of votes, Mr. Floyd,
who was tiie leading candidate lacking
upward of a hundred of the number
needed to elect. In tho voting in joint
convention of both branches of the
legislature. Mr. Floyd and the demo
cratic candidate, Nathan C. Jameson,
were the only candidates eligible under
the constitution to be balloted for,
though there were several other candi
dates in the November voting. The
vote of the legislature follows: Charles
M. Floyd, 2ti3; Nathan C. Jameson,
144. Aside from the formalities of
organizing the two branches for the
session, little other business was done
yesterdav. The Senate organized with
John Scammon of Exeter as president,
while Hetram Ellis of Keene was chos
en speaker of the house.

ional Life Insurance company, gave out

Can Be Made K. W. Suther
land Ha Sold Out
The I'eel' Kemedy company has de
cided to leave lirattleboru and make
Haeo, Me., tho future base of its opera
tion. The present owners of the com-
.... I I.. no. tbn old Peel's
'ood company a year ago last (Septem
ber and by shrewd business aiiitny
have built up a large and flourishing
trade. Three men, C W. 1'laee, O. K.
Morrison and K. W. Sutherland, all
of Saco, Me., were the owners of the
company. Mr. 1'lace owns and runs
grain stores in Saco and Iliddeford, Mo.,
and a large grain elevator in Haeo. For
the past year K. W. Sutherland has
been resident manager of the company.
To his business and executive ability
the growth of the business of the firm
is largely due.
After "considering all circumstances
connecli'd with the running of the com
pany Mr. i'lace, the president, and the
other members of the company decid
ed to move the factory to Saco. There
practically all the material for the
compounding of the remedies may be
taken directly irom the store of Mr.
I'lace. Here the company has beeu
obliged to buy a large part of its ma
terial through local dealers. It has
been difficult for the directors of the
company to supervise the work here as
traveling facilities between Hratth boro
and Saco are not of the best.
Mr. I'lace has recently purchased a
new four story brick block located on
I'epperell sipiare in Saeo and the fac
tory for the compounding of the re
medies will be located in this building
a part of which is already occupied by
the grain store of Mr. I'lace. The stock
aud fixtures of the company are at
present being loaded into freight ears
which will be taken to Saco immedinte
lv. Mr. I'lace has bought out the stock
formerly owned by Mr. Sutherland
who wiil remain in lirnttlcboro for the
present and is undecided as to his fu
ture. K. i. Frost, who has been con
nected with the company for many
years, is considering the proposition
of going to Saco in the employ of Mr.
I'lace but has not yet decided what he
win do.
Hrattleboro business men regret the
departure of the company, which has
added much to tho business of the
town during the past year.
Congres Convened Yesterday After the
Chrirtraa Recess But Matter Are
Not In Shape to be Acted on
The Brownsville Episode.
Congress convened after the Christ
mas recess at noon yesterday. It is
not expected, however, that much busi
ness will be transacted until tho fol
lowing week. No program has been ar
ranged for either body but it is under
stood in a general way it is to proceed
with the appropriation bills as rapidly
as possible, but as neither house has
one of those measures before it, both
will be forced to take up other matters
of legislation or adjourn from day to
day until the committee can bring in
some of the supply measures.
It is known to be Senator Foruker's
wish to secure early consideration by
the senator of the resolution for an in
vestigation by a senate committee of
the Itrownsvillo episode, and he has
been devoting much of tho time of the
recess to preparation for the continu
ance of his discussion of the subject. It
is understood to be his intention to pro
ceed as soon as the senate is prepared
to have him do so, but if, as seems like
ly, the attendance dtiriug the first few
day of tho renewed session should be
meagre, he may ask for a postponement.
The question of Senator Smoot's eligi
bility is also in condition to be consid
ered bv the senate, but as Senator Fora
ker is counted upon by the Ctah sena
tor's friends to lead in his defense, it
is understood that that question will be

sent the senate will vote on Jan. 12 oa
Senator Iji Follette's bill placing a
limitation on the duration of the hours
of work of railway operatives, and that
measure is now in position to lie called
op for discussion ut any time.
The house is not nearly so well pro
vided as the senate with miscellaneous
subjects which are in shape for consid
eration. The house calendar is by no
means barren, but, in the absence of the
speaker anil other members of the com
mittee on rules, no prediction regard
ing proceedings before other appropria
tion bills are reached would be justified.
It may be confidently stated, however,
that no important matter will be taken
tip in the interim. The next appropria
tion bill to be reported to the house will
be the fortifications bill, and this will
be followed by the bill making appro
priations for the District of Columbia,
but neither will be ready for considera
tion before Jan. 10. The senate com
mittee ou appropriations will report the
legislative, executive and judicial bill
about a week after the reconvening of
Congress, and it will soon be followed
bv the Indian bill, if there should be
no effort at special legislation on that
measure-. The legislative bill will re
ceive the attention of the senate as
soon as reported.

the clouds' lifted long enough for the
parade and the ceremonies in the as
sembly chamber, and then at the close
of the exercises, as the echoes died
awav after the "governor's salute" of
19 guns was fired in the pnrK in iront
of the capitol, the gray pall of mist
settled down again .and the rain fell
once more.
The new state administration which
assumes office today is made up as fol
lows: Governor, Charles E. Hughes of
New York; lieutenant governor, Licwis
Stuyvesant Chflnler of Duchess; sec
retary of state, John S. Whalen of
Monroe; controller, Martin II. Glynn
of Albany; attorney general, William
S. Jackson of Erie; treasurer, Julius
