DIR. GANNETT AND DIR. MASON
DR.. Gannett was recognized to-day at noon,
and was killed by his chest being crushed. He
was the well known pastor of the Arlington
street church, and formerly colleague of the
late DR.. Charming, man whose loss will be
severely felt by the community.
DR.. Mason, Of Cambridgeport, was also a
man of note, and greatly beloved by his congre-
CATION, the Baptist, leaving a void that cannot
be easily filled.

One of the employees of the Eastern railroad
corporation, whose duty it is TO care for the

going, but said it was not very slow.

steam, while the child escaped with slight inju'

ting up the break in response to the whistle,
was caught by the arms and legs and SO firmly
secured, that jack screw had to be used to pry
up the car and release him.
One of the wounded victims who was re-
moved to a neghbOring house, sat upon a

THE RESPONSIBILITY.
Public sentiment throws fearful responsible
ty upon the conductor and engineer of the eX-
press train. The engineer escaped with few
bruises by jumping from the, train. The ac
cOmmOdation train was three-fOurths of an hOul
late, which fact, it is said, was known to the
express train managers.
