from Boston to this city, over the Eastern road,
met with an accident at Berwick Junction Sat-
urday night, which delayed the Pullman trains
each way about four hours. The accident was
caused by brake bar dropping on the track in

with lumber were thrown from the track. The
damage to the cars is not large and the track
was but slightly disturbed. Word was sent to
this city and wrecking train started for the
scene of the accident at midnight. 1t was at
first thought best to transfer the passengers of
the Eastern bound train, but the large force of
men employed soon removed the distractions
and the train arrived here at four o'clock yes.
terday morning, and at once stated for Bangor.

distance this side of the junction and arrived in
