ANOTHER BOHEMIAN FIASCO.
What Mr.. Duncan Says About Certain Reports
Of the Meeting OF the viaduct Company
Grossly Incorreot"-The Com
pany Not Yet squelched

Some INSCRIPTIONS Bohemian has again imposed
upon the credullty Of certain among our contempO-
rarles. Various journals contained yesterday more
or less lengthy reports OF the meeting Of the Board
or Directors OF the Yiaduct Railway Company Oh
Tuesday. These reports were all very incorrect,
aud some or them shamefullY so. No reporter was
present al the meeting and the accounts OF 1t pub
isned appear TO have been cooked up from the
imperfect statements obtained from some one
or other who had heard at second hand what
was believed to have been said and done. Some OF
these statements contained in these fragments OF
imaginative history were so extraordinary III their
general purport, and placed certain well known
gentlemen IN so absurdly inconsistent light,
that q representative OF the HERALD called yester
day afternoon upon Mr.. W. b. Duncan, at his bank
"Have you seen the reports OF the meeting Of the
Viaduct Railway directors published Ia certain
morning papers. Mr.. Duncanr inquired the re-
"Yes; and the report in one paper is so grossly In

The evening telegraph. [volume] (Philadelphia [Pa.]) 1864-1918, 1871-06-21

All OF the passengers in the passenger-car
were more or less injured. One old gentleman,
when the alarm was given, ran out on the front
platform, and when the crash came was caught
between the cars. One of his legs was horribly
crushed, and he suffered internal injuries. He
was taken 10 the village, and DIR. Moore
amputated his leg. His name is Cyrus An
drews, and he is a produce merchant in Sa-
vannah, N. Y. This afternoon he was in
an exceedingly critical condition, and on ac-
count of his age, to-day being his sixty-slxth
birthday, bis recovery is very doubtful. OF the
other passengers Sumner L. Hazeu, Deputy
United States Marshal of Malone, and Mr.. Dean
of the same place, were severely bruised and
cut about the head and shoulders. The injuries
sustained by the others were not severe, and they
were able to proceed.
The causes that led to the accident were an
utter disregard of all rules on the part of the
engineer of the freight train He knew that the
passenger train was ahead of him, and was due
at that time at Fairport, and he should have
been on the lookout for it, especially as there
is sharp curve just east of the station. He
was also running at a much higher rate of speed
than is allowed Had the alarm not been given
and the passenger train started, not sonl would
have escaped. The engineers name is Hus:
He has caused several accidents recently, all
displaying recklessness, and great
indignation is felt concerning him,
and the entire blame of the matter is
charged to him. 1t should be stated, also, that
it is customary for the passenger train to take
wood and water at Wayneport, about five miles
east of Fairport, but some days since the road
discontinued the watchman there, deeming it
an unnecessary expense. The result was that
the wood piles took fire there last night and
were destroyed. Had not this occurred the
passenger train would have taken its wood aud
water there, and have been out of the way of
the freight train. The universal sentiment
prevailing is that the management of the road,
by the employment of incompetent men, and
the dispensing with the watchmen necessary
for safety, is laying itself open to severe cen
sure,
