Dashed Down to Death.

GREENFIELD, MASS, April IA
terrible disaster occurred on the
Fitchburg Railroad tonight midway
between BardwelIs Ferry and West
Deertield Station, the east bound pas
senger train from North Adams, due
at Greenfield sos p. M. going over
an embankment two hundred feet in
height. Six bodies have already
been taken out of the ruins, and It's
not known how many others were
killed. The train was the eastern
express, and consisted OF a baggage
car, u smoker, sleeping car, mail
car and two ordinary passenger cars.
The train was No. 35, and was in
charge of Conductor Foster, with
Herbert Littlejohn as engineer. The
point where the calamity occurred
is the most dangerous on the road.
The track runs on the edge Of an en-
bankment two hundred feet above
Deerfield river. The bank is steep
and is covered with huge boulders
and masses of shale rock, with which
the road-bed had been filed. When
the train arrived at this point the
track commenced to settle under it
for distance covering its entire
length. The coaches broke from
their trucks and went rolling over
and over down the precipice. The
engine broke from the tender, tear
ing up the track for twenty feet.
Below rolled the Deerfeld river, on
the very edge of which the cars were
thrown. AS soon as they struck they
caught fire from the stoves. The
shrieks Of the wounded and dying
filled the air, and for time the
scene was terrible. The sleeping car
was IN entire wreck. 1t was occu-
pied by several passengers, not one
of whom, at this hour, are known to
have escaped injury, One man whose
name it is impossible to learn, is inn
prisoned in the wreck of the sleeper,
where he is being burned alive.
One little girl Wzs picked up dead.
AS soon as the news reached Green
field, o special train was made up
and sent TO the scene OF the disaster,
having on board several physicians
and section men and a few citizens.
On arriving at the scene Of the wreck,
a horrible sight was witnessed. The
darkness Of night had settled over
the spot Far down on the river
bank could be seen the smouldering
embers Of the wreck. 1t was impos-
sible to tell who was hurt and who
was killed. Stout-hcarted trackmen
were lowered cautiously down the
treacherous height, and the work Of
rescue began.

Dear Sir:--My wife has been a victim
OF the worse form of liver disease and con
stipation of The bowels, so that she could
not rest at nights. She has been in this
condition about twenty years, during
which time she has tried dozen doctors
and various remedies, all failing to give
her much relief. purchased a bottle OF
"ARoMANNA' and you have no idea what
relief she received from one bottle of the
medicine. 1t has regulated her bowels,
and she can rest better at nights. and
says she feels much better than for the
past twenty years. She would not be
without "ARoMANAo in the house for any,
thing in the world. 1t is worth its weight
in gold. would be glad if your medicine
could reach the hands of all afflicted, for
it is remedy that has been long needed.
