Struck by a Br1dge-Five Boys Knocked
 From n Car-Terribly ManSIed and
 Instantly KfIIed-A Shocking Accident.
 LOWELL, Aug. 29.-An extraordinary and terribly fatal accident occurred last evening on the Lowell and Lawrence railroad about two and half miles below this city, result ing in the shocking death of five boys. Dur ing the afternoon the boys left their work in the mills and walked to Haggett's Pond, five miles distant, where they attended Scotch picnic. These and other boys have been in the habit of leaving the city for short dis tance. riding back on the trains without pay ing, and it was no doubt their intention to do so in this instance. While passing under Sprague' 'sbridge the occupants of a passen- ger car were startled by heavy thud upon the top, the concussion of which was so great as to put out all the lights, and Q moment later the mangled body of John Shinnick fell upon the rear platform at the feet of Con- ductor James O'DonneH and Brakeman Phil ip Dexter The bell was rung to stop the train but as soon as the body was secured the train was again started and came to Lowell The other boys on the train said
 
 telegram was sent to the conductor of an approaching freight train to search for the bodies at the bridge. This conductor found them twenty-five or thirty feet from the bridge, but thought he had no right to disturb them without orders from a medical examiner, so he left them and came to this city An engineer was sent back with a box car and the remains were brought to the Bos- ton and Lowell depot where they were iden- tified by the grief stricken parents. It is thought that the boys must have been standing upright on the cars, and as the train was late 1t was going at and the boys must have struck the bridge with terrible force. The bridge was originally built for the use of the owners of the farm upon which it was located, and was only two feet higher than the car. It had been recently kept in repair by the railroad company. The victims of this terrible acci- dent and their injuries were as follows: Pat rick Ryan, aged fifteen years, deep scalp wound seven inches long, extending back ward on the side of the head from the fore head another five inches long on the back of the head bruises on the face and body. Tim othy Nolan, seventeen years, scalp wound four inches long, thigh and arm broken, frac- ture of the vertebrae. William Walker, hf- teen years, fractures of the frontal bone and skull John Shinnick, sixteen years, scalp wounds and bruises John McNamara, six teen years, nearly all the bones of the head broken and other bruises. The injuries of all were such that death must have been al- most instant, and the bruised and bloody re- mains presented a shocking spectacle as they lay in the depot Hundreds of people gath cred to see the bodies and to learn the partic- ulars of the sad affair and to express sympa- thy with the parents.

If they had done so would have put him in the penitentiary'' Senator Voorhees, inter- rupted him, saying. ''You never asked us for the note' Bronson contradicted this statement, and the two men were getting angry, when some one cried out: ''They re going to shoot" An indescribable panic en- sued. Arnold's brother heard some one say : ''Go for him, Bronson, " and then the brother made for Bronson with pistol in hand. He was immediately arrested.

After allud- ing to the origin of the commission, it's pur- poses and methods of organization, review of the accomplished results was given. Since important fisheries center in New England the coast of this district has been the seat of the most active operations in marine research. For ten years the commission has devoted the summer season to work on shore at var1- ous stations along the coast from Connecti- cut to Nova Scotia. The number of dredging and trawling stations established is l, 800 and the number of seine hauls 600. In addition to local studies explorations are now being made for the oyster by MT. Ernest Ingersoll and MT. John F. Ryder for shad, by Colonel Mcdonald for smelt and Atlantic salmon, by Mir. c. G. Atkins, and for quinnal salmon, by MT. Livingston Stone. An estimate of what has been accomplished may be formed by considering the number of species added to the list within the past ten years, viz. :- Crustacea, 193; pycnogmida, 10; annelida, 236; vermes 1905 molluscs, 1O9; echinoder- mata, Al anthozoa, 35 hydrozoa or acalsphs, 73; timicata 59; polyzoa, 147; brachiopoda, 5; sponges 90.

 BRADFORD, Pa., Aug. 29.-Lightnihg has again been at work among the oil tanks. Yesterday one rig and four 250-barrel tanks were burned on the West Branch, about three miles from the city. About half-past eight last night one of heavens shafts struck one of the United Pipe Line Company's 25,oOo- barrel tanks. located near the State line. Over sixty huge iron tanks are scattered through the valley between the State line and Tarport, there being no less than twenty tanks in close proximity to the burning mon ster. The tank is 25O feet from it's nearest neighbor and it is hoped that by digging trenches the other valuable jeopardized prop erty can be saved. Should the fire spread it would be one of the most remarkable confia- grations on record, as 1,SOo, 900 barrels of oil stored in the valley, the tanks in most in stances being very close to each other. Super intendent Snow has sent large forces of men to the scene. Solid shot will be fired into the tank, to prevent if possible the disastrous spread of the fire
