The Destructiveness of the Accident Becominl
More Apparent.


More Apparent.
The more that is learned regarding the Deer
field disaster on the Fitchburg road the greater
the wonder that every person aboard the train
was not crushed to death. An accident equally
destructive in proportion to the number of per-
sons exposed has not been reported since that on
the other side the Atlantic, when the Scotch ex-
press was bodily blown off the Tay bridge In a
stormy night, and train, and passengers, and all
were swept away to the sea- Imagine passen-
ger car making the descent of precipice which,
1t is SAID, foot-passenger cannot make without
lifeline, and this car rolling over five times,
the loosened stove and the passengers all
thrown from point to point it turned,
and we comprehend the fearful danger.
AS said by the Journal last week. some one
Is IN fault for the accident and SO it proves to
be- The present indication is that the fault is
due to bad engineering in the original construc-
ton OF the road-which is the property of the
State. Against a steeplv sloping mountain side,
there was path or road on narrow ledge. and
that ledge was taken as primary line for the
road. But as it was not wide enough it was
wdened in the usual way by dumping from
above mingled stone and earth, which material
is supposed to find its appropriate place by grav
ltatlor. All the heavy rain, however, gathered
on the water shed of the mountain side, and
pouring down the slope found the line of division
between the new material and the old face
OF the mountain, and the new material settled
while the old held its place-and thus the out
side of the road yielded as the train came upon
it, and the cars tipped that way, went over head
foremost into the valley. The exact money loss
of this fearful disaster can only be approximate
ly estimated as yet, but competent railroad men
say the sum will exceed $150O00, while it may
even reach 100000. Five cars, including the
baggage, smoker, sleeper and two coaches. were
demolished and another car will hardly pay the

amounts to be paid those who are injured: some
manned for life. while Others will suffer for
years from the wounds inflicted by that terrible
