RAILROAD ACCIDENT.
Collision ON the B oston & Maine-EnRin-
eer and Fireman Killed-Twelve Cars
DemOlished.

Collision ON the Boston & Maine-EnRin-
eer and Fireman Killed-Twelve Cars
Demolished.
LOWELL, Nov. 17.-By misplaced switch at
Bailardvale, on the Boston & Maine Railroad,
this noon, the freight train from Boston for
Portland, loaded with cotton and grain, collid-
ed with some cars standing on the track. The
frelgt trainl was badly damaged and engineer
Charles Walker, and fireman, whose name was
not learned, were killed. Twelve or fifteen
cars were burned or demolished. The fire
alarm was rung at Andover and the flames
were extinguished. :. The next train was delay
ed an hour and ten minutes.
LAWRENCE, Nov. 1.-THE following are ad-
ditional particulars of the railroad disaster at
Ballardvale today. The train was the way
freight for Dover, which left Boston at 10. 80 a.
m. with two locomotives and 43 cars, and was
due at Ballardvale at 11.55 a. m. There was
no occasion for the train to stop at Balardvale.
and as it rounded the curve below the station it
was running at the speed of fifteen miles an
hour. Henry Mute, the engineer of the lead
ing locomotive (the Bay State) discovered as he
came around the curve that the switch of the
Ballardvale station was misplaced so as to
throw the train on the side track. He reversed
his engine and with his fireman, David Smith,
jumped to the ground and escaped safely. Chas.
Walker engineer of the Boston" the second
locomotive, reversed his engine and whlstled
down brakes, Dut too late TO avert colllSl0 on
with the two cars which were standing on the
siding.
The moving train struck them three or four
rods after leaving the main track. Walker call
ed to his fireman, Charles FL. Miller, to jump
but stood hsroically at his post with his engine
reversed, and with the throttle valve in his
hand met his death. The cars which were at a
stand-still on the side track, were thrown off
by the head locomotive but the latter received
no serious injury, the tender only being thrown
from the track. The second locomotive jump
ed the track and the cars piled on top of it.
Miller was caught in the wreck and instantly
killed. Moses Stevens of Haverhill a brake
man, was crushed in the wreck and had foot
crushed and one leg broken below the knee.
He was taken to his home in Haverhill, and to-
night is reported to be comfortable though his
injuries are serious.
The cause of the accident was the careless
ness of William Horen, section man, belong
ing in Ballardvale, who moved the switch and
forgot to put it back.
Walker was 36 years old, had been twelve
years in the employ of the road, and has wife
and one child in Charlestown. Miller lived at
Reading, and has a wife and two children. The
loss to the road is estimated by Supnrintendent
Furber at $4,000 to 1900. Walkers body
was fearfully mangled and could not be extri-
Gated till this evening.
