SHOCKING RAILROAD ACCIDENT.
LOWELL, Aug. pa shocking accident
occurred on the Lowell & Lawrence railroad
Saturday night, by which five youths of this
city lost their lives. A Caledonian pic mic
was held during the day at Smiths grove, in
the town of Andover, where these men had
been participating. Either for lack of mon
ey or sport, they contrived to Chamber on top
of the passenger Car in the train which left
Lawrence at 7:3O P. NJ. When the train
reached Sprague's bridge, seven miles from
this city, in the town of Tewksberg, all i've
were swept off and killed. At the time it was
only known that one had met death in this
manner. This was Jno. Shinnick, 16 years
old. He was thrown down between the cars
on the platform where the conductor found
him. He lived about twenty minutes. Hi
body was brought here and identified, and
some time later the bodies of the others
were found in the ditch, three on one side of
the track and one on the other. A freight
train was sent from here and brought them
in about midnight. They were William
Meker Ii years, Jno. McNemara 16 years,
Timothy Nolan II, Patrick Byan Is. There
is space of twenty two inches between the
cars and the bridge roof therefore it is con
jsctured that the lads we're sitting up when
struck. Probably all but Shinnick died
almost instantly, as their wounds, on the
head and back were terrible. The under
takers room where the bodies lay has been
thronged all day.
