ACCIDENT TO A CIRCUS.
Forepaughs Train GOES Oyer an
Embanlment.
Killing Twenty-Five Valuable Horses-Two
Attaches Killed and Several Wounded.

PORTLAND, Me-, July 16.-Information is
received here Of fatal accident to Fore
paugh's circus train ON the Maine Central
Railroad at Vassalboro, some fifty miles
north Of here. The storm having inter-
fered with the wires, particulars are
meager. The train, consisting of some
twenty cars, was en- route for this city, and
was running at lively rate of speed
when the cars jumped the track, due to
defective rail, and plunged down the
fty-foot embnnkment toward the Kenne-
bee river. Three of the cars contained
animals, and there was passenger caboose
containing a number OF employees. The
cars rolled over and over several times,
and were smashed into splinters. Twenty.
five valuable trick horses were killed out
right and number of others badly injur-
ed, a number of which will have TO be
killed. The caboose was occupied by
ten men, several of whom escaped by
jumping when the cal. left the track, being
saved from injury by the soft earth The
others were carried down the bank and
were caught in the wreck. Their com
panions extricated several badly IL not
fatally injured. Two men, whose names
are not given, are buried beneath tho
wreck in the river, and were doubtless
killed instantly. A wrecking train has
left for the scene.
