FIVE BOYS KILLED,

Lowell, Mass Aug ga shocking accident
occurred on the Lowell & Lawrence Railroad on
Sunday night, by which Ave youths Of this city
lost their lives A Csledonian picnic was held
during the day at Smiths grove, in the town Of
Andover, where these young men had been par
ticipating. Either for lack Of money or for sport
they attempted to Chamber on top Of passenger
car on the train which left Lawrence at 1880 pm.
When the train reached sprague's Bridge, two
miles from this city, in the town Of Lewisburg
all five were swept of and killed. At the time 1t
was only known that one had met his death In
this manner. This was John Shinuick, sixteen
years old. He was thrown down between the
cars on the PLATFORM where the conductor found
him unconscious. The body was brought here
and identified. Some time later the trackmen
found the bodies Of the others lyingin the ditches
three on one side Of the track and two on the
other, A freight train was sent nom here and
brought them in about midnight. They were
VIM, Maher, fifteen years, John MCNamara, six
teen, Timothy Nolan, seventeen, Patrick Ryan,
fifteen. There is space Of twenty two inches
between the cars and the bridge, therefore 1t is
conIectured that the lads were sitting up when II
struck. Probably all but schinnick died almost
instantly, as their wounds on their head and back
we're terrible. The undertaker's room where the
bodies lie have been thronged day.
