WORCESTER, MASS, Nov. ..
The rear car of a crowded passenger
train ON the Boston, Barre and Gardner
Railroad was thrown from the track just as
the train was drawing away from North
Worcester Station, at 2:15 this afternoon,
and hurled with terrific force down a steep
embankment, fully twenty-five feet high.
They were sixty-fve passengers in the ear,
and not one of them escaped injury. The
car turned wholly over once and then half
over again in its descent, aud finally rested
on it's side at an angle of forty-five degrees.
1t was badly broken up in the fall. The
seats were all wrenched from their places
and thrown in a heap, and the passengers
were mixed up with the broken iron and
timber in almost inextricable confusion.
The woodwork OF the car caught hre from
the stove in the forward part, and the hor-
ror of being burned to death confronted the
wounded passengers. But assistance was
prompt, and the flames were speedily ex-
tinguished.
Some few of the passengers extricated
themselves from the wreck, and with the
occupants of the other two cars, which re-
manned on the track, set to work
and helped their suffering companions.
The anguished cries of bruised and bleed
ing men, women and children made the
scene terrible one. Tenderly and care
fully the injured ones were taken out and
laid on the grass by the side of the track.
1t was found that by a miracle none were
killed, but several were apparently dying.
Physicians We're summoned from Worces-
cester, and Doctors Bates, Marble, Davis,
r. Woodward, Jacques, Wood, Swartward,
Adams and Warren were soon on the spot.
From then II dark all worked unremit-
tingly in care for the wounded. Some
were removed to neich Orinu houses. and
others were brought to Worcester in hacks
and the police ambulances. The most seri-
ously injured were taken to the City Hos
pitaL OF the sixty-five persons in the car
allfwere more or less bruised; thirty were
seriously injured and six were so badly
hurt that they are not expected to live.

York-It Fortunately Contained No Audi

Ruin.
NEW YORK, Nov. 20.
Fire broke out in the Windsor Theater,
No. 45 Bowery, shortly before twelve
O'Clock tonight. The flames spread rap
idly. In few minutes after the alarm
sounded the whole structure was a mass of
flames All efforts of the Fire Department
were unavailing to check the confagration,
and the building was totally destroyed.
The flames communicated to several adj
joining buildings. The fire originated be-
tween the first floor and basement, under
the main stairway, and was discovered by
the policeman at that post. Besides the
theater, the building contained two small
no. els, kept by Hartman and Loehl, and
situated on either side of the main entrance
to the theater. There were forty guests in
Hartman's hotel and a smaller number in
Loehls, all of whom escaped without diff
Guilty. There was no one in the theater at
the time, the performance having closed at
10:45, nor were there any remaining at the
Thalia Theater, situated directly opposite
the Windsor, on the BoWery. The whole Fire
Department of the district was summoned
by general alarm, but the efforts of the
firemen were greatly impeded by the pecu-
liar structure of the building and by the ell
evated railroad structure, which passed in
front Of the theater. Trains, however, were
finally stopped, and the firemen were able
to work more effectively by taking the
hose to the top of the structure. The fire
had gained such headway by this time that
it was seen to be useless to attempt to save
the building, and they turned their attention
to the surrounding buildings. The theateT
building was owned by VIM. A. Martin, ID
East Thirty-eighth street, and was valued
at $500. 600.
