The Accident on the Boston g. Maine.

AS the Portland express train ON the Boston
& Maine Road, which is due in Boston at 81
in the afternoon, was approaching the station
at Reading on Monday, the fagman hoisted
the signal that cars were being shifted on the
inward track, but by some mischance the
signal fell back to its original position, and
the engineer of the express dashed forward at
lively rate. He discovered, however, on
rounding a curve the shifting cars in front of
him, hut too late to prevent collision. 1t is
reported that he whistled "down brakes" and
through the agency of the baggage master, un-
shackled the cars from the engine, and thus
was enabled to have the cars stopped. The
engine however, collided with the empty cars,
severely damaging one of them and wrecking
the smoke stack, tender and machinery of the
engine, which is known as the Sachem. The
engineer and fireman escaped without injury,
though it was very narrow escape from loss
of life for them and the passengers. A wreck
ing train afterward brought the Sachem to
the city.

Young Ladies' School.

The Misses Symonds private school for
Joung ladies on Pine street has, for many
ears, been associated with the best educational
interests of orr city, on account of its well
ounded reputation for scholarly attainment
nd cultured influence. It is with regret that
e learn that these accomplished ladies have
ecided to give up their school and withdraw
from their work as teachers. We are glad,
however, to know that the school will not be
discontinued but will continue both as board
ing and day school under the charge of Miss
Ella S. Sargent and Miss Marcia D. Bradbury
who, with the aid of a corps of efficient
teachers, will conduct the school on substan-
tia uy the same plan as that adopted by the
Misses Symonds, with the addition of a kinder
garten department.. The school will hereafter
be located at 14S Spring street.
Under the new principals, already known as
teachers, we doubt not that the school will
maintain its high reputation for thorough
scholarship and broad culture.

THE BIDDEFORD MYSTERY.
Very Little Light on the Matter Yet.

Excitement in Biddeford in regard to the
mystery surrounding the death of John F.
Currier remains undated The police have
slackened none of their efforts in the case.
Monday night they had settled on the belief
that the murder was committed some time
Saturday night as they could learn of no one
who had seen him after he he left the Saco
House Saturday night. An effort has been
made to learn of some one who heard suspic-
ious noises in the vicinity of the Eastern rail-
road on Saturday or Sunday night. Arthur
Kicker, Waterman at Joseph Hobson's steam
mill in Somesville, says that Sunday morning
about half-past one he heard two pistol Shots
but thought little of it as all sorts of noises are
often heard III that vicinity. A Mrs. Smith
also residing in that vicinity says that she
heard pistol shot between 8 and 10 o'clock
Saturday night. A woman in Saco says she
has seen girl who alleges she brought Cur
rier up from Old Orchard, late Sunday after
noon. If this proves true, an important link
in tracing up the affair may have been secured.
The officers went to Old Orchard Monday
evening, and overhauled Curriers' effects, but
could find nothing bearing on this case There
Yesterday forenoon watch chain and two
knives belonging to Currier were found. The
chain, however, did not belong to the watch
he wore. Neither the watch nor chain which
he wore when he left home has been found.
When the body was found it appeared to be
upon the hands and knees, with his face
turned upwards.
Currier has been around Old Orchard for
several weeks past, and has made quite dis
play of his money, and INDUCED in frequent
rides. He has been hiring teams at the Cor
ham House. He hired a team ordered for
Sunday morning and it was already for him,
but he did not appear to takeit
One man who has seen considerable of him
since he has returned from Massachusetts
thinks he possibly had $25 or $50 with him
when he came to town Saturday night His
money appeared to be mostly in one and two
dollar bills which would make quite roll.
This he would place in the inside pocket of his
vest. In purchasing a small article it was his
habit to draw out this roll of bills and pull off
one, placing the change in his pocket. If he
wished another small article short time after
instead of using the change he would again
draw out his roll of bills. This being the case,
