RAILROAD DISASTER.
Collision Between the Boston & Maine
and Eastern Railroads.

Yesterday morning an accident occurred at
the railroad crossing of the Eastern and Bos-
ton & Maine railroads at Scarboro. about six
miles from Portland, which narrowly escaped
causing great loss of life.
The freight train on the Eastern road, for
Portland, due at the crossing about $50 a. m,
arrived at that spot on time. 1t stopped on
the Know-Nothing' and then proceeded, the
signal man elevating the two balls which
marked the fact that the Eastern road possess
ed the right of way. The 6.15 passenger train
from Portland, reached the crossing minute
or two later. The engineer, Mr.. Cotton,
stopped at the Known Nothing, and then either
deceived by the fog, or from someIunexplainable
cause, proceeded. The Know-Nothing is
situated 500 feet from the crossing. When Mr..
Cations engine took the crossing about half of
the train of Eastern freight cars had passed,
and the Boston & Maine engine, the Mercury,
struck one of these Eastern freight cars
which was loaded with sugar-obliquely. The
weight of the remainder of the Boston q
Maine train pressing ON its locomotive, threw
the locomotive off, smashing it to pieces, and

this city The passengers were we'll shaken
up-there were not over dozen on the train
but not hurt, and were transferred to train

clear at 11.30 a. m, so that the noon trains in
were but half an hour late. The late morning
trains from Portland left an hour late and
transferred passengers at the wreck as the 615
train had done.
