TsEcoND DESPATCH.
The special train which left Bangor this
forenoon with President Geo. e. B. jackson,
0faNi al ioupOiihtOuuCub IaySOn luChor anu
directors w. G. Davis and W. b. Bacon of the
Maine Central road, and President w. G.
Phillips of the Eastern railroad, collided with
the regular train at Lincoln this forenoon. The
two rear cars on the passenger train were bad
ly damaged and one passenger had his leg
broken. The locomotive of the special was
thoroughly demolished and several members
OF the railroad party received cuts and bruises.
Superintendent Tucker received bad wound
on the head, but is not thought to be danger
ously injured.
Much excitement was created here by the
news this forenoon. The early reports were
meagre and very conflicting. The widest ru-
mors prevailed and nothing definite could be
gained for some time. The nature of Superin-
tendent Tkckers injuries was at first much
exaggerated. The directors train has now re-
turned f.om the scene of the accident. Super
intent Tucker remained behind, but is thought
no serious results will ensue.
A later special train with railroad party
left Bangor at 750 a. M, being 35 minutes af-
ter the departure of the regular train The
passenger train was just leaving Lincoln sta
ton, As miles from this city, when the accident
occurred. The two rear cars OF the passenger
train were telescoped but fortunately only
few occupants were in these cars. Several
were bruised and more or less injured. One
man, who refused to give his name, claimed
his leg was broken.
Advices from Lincoln this afternaon say
that Superintendent Tucker is walking around
his room in the hotel at Lincoln and lis feel
ing quite comfortable. DR.. Pendleton of Port
land, his family physician, has been summon
ed.
The passenger train was delayed only half
an hour. The Maine Central management are
quite reticent in regard to where the blame
should be attached. 1t is thought that an in
vestigation will be made.
THIRD DESPATCH.
The special train with Harry Tucker and
DR.. Pendleton of Portland, passed through this
ci.y during the afternoon for Lincoln, and it
is expected Superintendent Tucker will return
by this train during the night and be taken to
his Portland home.

were generally occupants of the second class car
and live largely in the Provinces. One man
has leg broken in two places. Another has
