The Evidence Thus Far Obtsined-A
Full Investig alton To BE Made.

PORTLAND, Me-, Dec. q, 1873.
Coroner ]. W. Sargent OF Kennebunk, has sum.
moned an inquest on the bodies OF the victims OF
the late railroad disaster. The road authorities
VIII afYord every opportunity Tor an impartial in
vestigation.
From the evidence thus far procured it appears
that the freight train W' Tor the East broke apart
at Kennebunk PORT thick binding snow storm
prevailing at the time. The train was made up OF
some 40 cars. Alter breaking the engineers were
compelled to run ahead to keep out OF the way Of
the cars running wild on down grade. The
engineers reached Kennebunk on time and notified
the telegraph operator and night watchman at
that station that their train was blocking the road
and asking the delay OF all trains until they could
return and clear 1t. The operator Immediately
hung out red light, saying TO the engineers tnas
no train would dare 20 by that They tnen re-
turned to secure their train In order to cross the
train from the West at Kennebunk. Shortly alter
securing the wild cars, little short OF two miles
east Of KennebnDk, they were met by the train
that the headlights were hidden on both trains.
WHY the train rom the West disregarded the warn
ing given at Kennebunk does not yet appear
The witnesses have all been summoned, and the
mystery Will be unraveiied on Monday:
At the time Of the collision there were four men
on the foremost engine OF the up train. the con-
ductor and friend, besides the engineer and 1re-
man. The conductors friend was the first to see
the engine coming upon them, and leaped, escap-
ing uninjured. The engineer reversed MS engine.
ductor and fireman were killed.
On the second engine the engineer was thrown
16 feet Into the snow, escaping with crushed
shoulder. The fireman was killed.
