A Locomotive Tender Rolls Down
An Embankment
And Moves a HaIlOwelI Dwelling
House Six Inches.

Saturday night there was a peculiar rail-
road accident at HalIowell. luckily without
loss Of life. To the rear of Especial freight
train proceeding west, was attached a dis
abled locomotive from the European road,
en- route for Portland, where it was TO be re-
paired As the train reached the Winthrop
Hill crossing, in the above city, about 10
O'Clock in the evening, pair of trucks be-
meath the tender of this locomotive, broke
from the truck frame and we're left by the
side Of the track. Springs and pieces Of
timber then began TO fall, and the track for
some distance was strewn With these. Just
beyond the Hallowell station, another pair of
the tender trucks dropped out and when some
30 rods below LowelPs crossing, the top of
the tender itself, eurched over the embank-
ment, which is here very steep, towards the
this point, stood the house of a Mr.. Potter,
occupied by a large family. Attached TO the
house, was shed built against the bank.
The tender top struck thi. with terrific force
and completely demolished it, and before
stopping, moved the main house q distance
of six inches. The occupants were necessa
rily much frightened. After the tender had
been thus dismounted, the train continued on,
sowing the remainder of the trucks and frame
until Rich's ice house was reached, when the
loss was discovered by the train hands, and
the train brou0hf IN a half maasaDuav
returned and aroused the section men who
cleared the track so that the night trains
passed on time. The freight train continued
on its way to Portland. YESTERDAY wreck.
ing train went down and gathered up the
debris, bringing it ITO this city.

runaway varied the ordinary course of
things on Water street. Saturday afternoon.
About 1.5o O'Clock, horse and sleigh be-
longing to Mr.. James Savage, stood hitched
to post in front of Gannett & Morse's store.
The horse, becoming frightened at q flag,
broke away and ran, The animals progress
was terrific. 1t seemed to run in circles.
First it took to the side walk in front of
Pipers store. and proceeding as far as E. f.
Davis store, cut across the street and took to
the opposite sidewalk near the FIVE cent
store. Continuing down to the hay scales.
the infuristed beast turned to the right and
striking point near its first starting point,
retrsced its old course in front of Piper's
store. The horse there took diagonal
route straight for the MeonIau Hall entrance.
In front of Fowler & Hsmlen's store stood a
box and team hitched to post,

force, passing partially over the
sleigh, When on the sidewalk near the en-

to ascend the stairs, veered to the left, ran to
point opposite Hersey's store, where it was
captured. When the runaway started on its
