On Sunday morning the train which is doe in Portland
at 9.50 was approaching the station when, instead of
sufficiently sickening speed, and corning to • stop befdre
arrival, It ran right on, and struck • carriage which
had been left before the dead stop. The buffers of this
carriage, and, doubtless the efforts made to stop the train
mused the accident to be much leas severe than on the
Mat occasion, when it actually dashed against the dead
asp rim train, having dashed against the carriage,
rebounded frirm the buffer% and was finally brought to •
stand still. A quantity of water era, flying about the
platform but the engine was not damaged, the carriage
struck was smashed 111 to parts of its front fittings; but
there was nothing serious to the rolling stock. The
passengers were found to have received slight hurts and
shakings, as follows
