TERRIBLE ACCIDENT.


A terrible accident occurred on the P. s. &
P. r. r., at a crossing short distance this
side of Biddeford, on Saturday afternoon last,
by which one man was instantly killed and
another man injured so seriously that he sur
vived but few hours The particulars are as
follows:
Mr.. Oliver Tracy, the proprietor of some
wooden mills at West Buxton, and gentle.
man highly respected and very we'll known all
over the State, accompanied by a Mr.. John
Sawyer, also of West Buxton, and another
man, whose name we were unable to procure,
started on Saturday afternoon from Saco for
Moderation village, about sixteen miles dis
tant, in large single seated sleigh drawn by
two large black horses, all three of the men be-
ing completely muff1ed up in furs coats and
muffiers. When they reached the crossing
just this side of Biddeford depot they saw the
passenger train, which leaves Boston at u
o'clock, about fifty feet off, but thought
they had ample time to clear the track before
it would get along. The horses succeeded in
getting over safely, but the engine-whch
carries ever the cowcatcher, as far as the pilots,
an iron snow plough about eighteen inches
high-struck the sleigh, the plough running
under it. and threw all the occupants high in
the air. Mr.. Tracy was found under a fence
near by. Sawyer was found ON his back on
the cowcatcher, with his head resting on the
boiler of the engine, his body all wrapped up
in the .buffalos which the sleigh had con-
tanned, while on top of Sawyer was the other
man who was evidently unhurt, or at the most
only bruised slightly, whose first exclamation
as he got off when the train stopped was, SPY
G. Two lost my hat" The body of Tracy pre-
scented horrible sight When taken up the
blood rushed out of his mouth and head in a
stream, and his eyes were completely turned
round in their sockets. The top of the head
was also taken off. He was no doubt killed in
stantly and never knew what hurt him.
The only wounds that Sawyer received was
fracture of the skull on the back of the head,
and confusion on the forehead. The body OF
| Mr.. Tracy was laid out in farm house close
by the scene of the accident, while the body of
Sawyer was carried on the engine to Saco,
where the station master sent for physician
and rendered every possible assistance. The
survivors state distinctly that they saw the
train, but thought they could cross the track
in time. They were SO mufled up they did
not hear the whistle, although particular care
is always taken by all the engineers to blow
the whistle at the crossings on this road. A
coroner's inquest will be held at Saco at 10
o'clock this morning over the remains of the
two unfortunate men.
P. S. We have, since writing the above,
learned that the name Of the unipjured man
was H. Partridge, of Saco. Tracy was agent
for the West Buxton wooden mills.
