Further Particulars from the Accident.

Most of the sufferers by the accident Mon
day, on the Boston & Maine road. who came
through to this city, continued their journey
homeward yesterday. The nine sufferers at
the Maine General Hospital were all doing
well yesterday, and the doctors thought Con-
ductor Weymouth would come out all right
unless erysipelas should set in. Mr. ESennett.
who stopped at the City Hotel, was very badly
cut about the head, and had other injuries.
The doctors kept him up on stimulants, and
thought he would come out all right after
reaching home and quieting down.
Mr.. Watson, clerk of the Preble House, was
in the baggage car at the time of the accident.
He did not consider himself hurt much, but
yesterday he was confined to his bed at his
house in Tolman Place.
1t is possible Mr.. Downs may recover.
Mr. Smalley of Boston, who was hurt about
the head, was able to return home yesterday
morning.
A dispatch from Haverhill yesterday after
noon stated that the man who was killed was
not A. O. Kidder, as supposed, but james O.
Hodgdon, of the firm of Hodgdon Brothers,
shoe CONTRACTORS, haFoInii. MA liousuoh
was about As years of age. He leaves widow
and three children.
Mr.. Fl. M. Howes, of the firm of Howes, Hill
ton & Co., of this city, was in the disaster and
received painful though not serious wound
on the head.
The Boston and Maine officials h ave repaired
the wrecked bridge, and yesterday the trains
crossed the roadway as usual
In examining the remains of the broken
bridge it was found by the wheel-marks on the
stringers that the accident must have been
caused by the breaking of a journal on the for
ward end of the baggage car which followed
the second locomotive. This caused the wheels
to leave the track and strike the bridge truss,
knocking it from its position. Of course the
whole structure instantly collapsed. The great
mass of twisted iron has now been cleared
away. The bent beams, curled rails and shat
tered stone show how terribly severe must have
been the shock. The remains of the baggage
and parlor cars are tipped up on the embank-
ment east of the gap. The stone face of the
eastern abutment was scaled off to considera-
BILE thickness by the intense heat of the fire
which followed the wreck.
Yesterday morning crowd OF sight-seers
collected at the scene of the disaster, attracted
from all the surrounding country.
Mr.. Sargent, the coroner, has organized
Jury and adjourned to Thursday.

Collision.

Yesterday morning the steamer Mary W
Libby. on her first trip oyer the ferry route,
ran into tie boat belonging to the schooner
Fred Gray, which lay anchored in the ferry
way. The main boom of the schooner nearly
broke the steamers smoke stack of, but no
other damage was done to her. The schooner's
tender was smashed The cause of the COLI
sion was the dense vapor that hung over the
bay. No blame can be attached to the captain
Of the ferry boat as the schooner was anchored
directly in his way and could not be seen until
he was close to her. Had she ran into the
schooner, which was loaded with ice loss Of
life would probably have resulted as she had a
large number OF passengers.

of the beautiful, yon know. In this modern.
movement there is a searching after the true,
YOU know" In further conversation, he said
he should lecture here, and had two plays to

was because he could not get cast to suit him
