offense after ho -r inrim uuoritu Broken Rail Causes sn Accident on the Rutland Road The train due here at 11:50 over the Rutland road from the north was ditched a few miles this side of Clarencevllle, P. yesterday by a broken rail. The train was composed of two day coaches, a Pullman car and a baggage car, drawn by ne of the large new mogul engines. 'They were running at full speed when. without warning, the coaches began to sway and with the tender were turned on their sides, penning the passengers in the wrecked cars.

Considering the number of passengers and the nature of the accident, the casualties were very few, only two suffering severe injuries. One of these was the conductor of the Pullman car and the other was a passenger. All were, however, severely shaken up, among whom was Miss Barker, who sang at the Unitarian Church last evening. She suffered from a painful bruise in the side but pluckily carried out her part of the pro- gramme. Wrecking trains were summoned immediately to the spot and the track will probably be cleared to-day but yesterday passengers were delayed from two to four hours in going around by the Central Vermont road.

AX EVENING WITH MUSIC. The evening with music under the auspices of the Humane society at the Unltar-pn Church last evening was an unqualified success. The large audience was representative of the best society and most prominent patrons of all musical events and the enthusiastic approval shown each number on the programme was gratifyi if In the extreme. The promoters of the affair nre to be congratulated on their good taste in the arrangement of the programme and choice of artists. Miss Mabel Barker of Montreal has a beautiful soprano voice under perfect control and was well received in solos and duet.

Miss Hagar and Mr. Lyon are too well known in musical circles to need comment and Miss Agnes Dooley sang in the pame pleasing manner which has won for her the enviable, reputation as one of Burlington's sweetest singers. Mr. Landry of St. James Church, Montreal, was r.ne in nis tenor solo and in the duet with his pupil.

Miss Barker. The Waterman Orchestral club is composed of artists who have long been foremost among our musicians and their rart of the entertainment elicited much favorable criticism.

THAT SOUTH BURLINGTON RALLY. The Burlington News In an attempt to discredit the Free Press's report of tho prohibition rally in South Burlington Friday night gleefully reprints an article from the Rutland Herald in which it is stated that the audience was composed of nine men and about 35 women. The article Is headed "Another Free Press Report." The extract from the Free Press's report reprinted by the Herald and by the News follows: The town hall In South Burlington was well filed last evening with an audience composed quite largely of men who gathered to hear C. J. Ferguson of this city speak on the temperance issue.

Daniel O'Brien, the representative of that town, had taken an active part in arranging for the meeting and presided with much grace and efficiency. But what has that infallible instructor in the art of newspaper-making, the Burlington News, to say about Its own report of the rally, printed in Saturday's paper, and which was as follows: A big prohibition temperance rally was held last night at the town hall In South Burlington, the principal speaker being C. J. Ferg-uson. Esq.

The hall was filled and much enthusiasm was evidenced. A company of children under the direction of their teacher. Miss Kleting, gave the audience a welcome song and sang other songs with credit. After the reading of the 146th psalm, prayer was offered by Mr. Jay Spicer, superintendent of schools.

Mrs. A. M. Kendall, accompanied by at the close of which town representative, Daniel Brien who had taken an active interest in arranging for this meeting over which he ably presided, introduced the speaker in a felicitous manner. Mr.
