BAD RAILROAD ACCIDENT.
A Wrecking Train Comes to Grief and
Six Men Injured.

Yesterday morning General Manager
Tucker dispatched wrecking train over the
Maine Central to the aid of the stalled trains
at Cumberland Junction. The train consist
ed of two of the largest Boston & Maine en-
gines, borrowed for the occasion, one of
them a six wheel Mogul, a platform car
loaded with coal for the use of the stalled
trains, and three box cars with q hundred
workmen. The train proceeded all right I'M
til it reached place called Cobb's Crossing,
a mile beyond Westbrook Junction, when
the leading NJ ogul engine run on to the ice,
turned completely round, and made plunge
down a slight embankment, and turned over.
Her cab was smashed to flinders, and the en-
CINE itself badly wrecked. On the engine
were two men, the engineer, Charles Hamil-
ton Of Cape Elizabeth, Harry Emery of
Portland, fireman, and John Nichols, en-
gineer of the Maine Central, was in charge
of the second locomotive. The second en-
CINE was also derailed. All three of the men
were thrown distance of some twenty feet,
and Hamilton was found lying on the other
side Of fence. Hamilton was seriously in
jured internally and badly bruised about
the face, and was insensible for two hours.
Emery had an elbow dislocated and an arm
fractured. Nichols was bruised about the
head and badly shaken up.
All the cars with the workmen aboard
were forced off the iron and down the en-
bankment and it is miracle more injuries
were not inflicted. Three of the men, Ed
ward Jordan, who resides on Summer street,
received bad fracture of leg, Patrick Davis,
of Banks street, a bad injury of the knee
joint, and A. FL. Mattocks Of Salem street,
injury to leg Many others were badly
bruised, but their injuries were not serious,
nor were they disabled. There were but two
wheels on the whole train left on the rails.
Mr.. Robinson, the caterer, was on board
with liberal supply of refreshments for the
stalled passengers and fried potatoes, roast
beef, pickles and all kinds of good things
were mixed up with coal, snow and ice in a
regular Ola podrida. Robinson wasn't hurt
but he was powerful scared"
Doctors Pendleton and Ring were sent ou.
and took all care of the injured men, who
were brought in town and taken home.

Mayor Deering and the p. 8 o. r. r.

To the Editor Of the Press.
Your editorial Of this morning says:
mayor Deering was committed to scheme
which endangered the supremacy of the city
in its control of the Portland & Ogdensburg
railroad This statement is untrue in every
particular, and it is entirely gratuitous on
the part of both correspondent and editor.
1t is disappearing the committee on the
part of the city, consisting of Alderman
Noyes, Councilman Woodbury. and myself,
as well as all men who honestly desired that
the right of redemption should not be
allowed to expire without an attempt to re-
organize under the old charter the Portland
& Ogdensburg Railroad Company. As for
Mr.. Chapman's participation in an effort to
defeat the result, 1 never heard of it until
printed this morning. He certainly never
appeared or asked to be heard in any of our
deliberations. If he was represented by
Judge Symonds, his name was never men,
toned by the Judge, and while our legal adj
wiser, Judge Symonds, differed from the
views of our committee as to their advlsa-
bility and practicability, we never doubted
his honesty, and we believe that he never
entertained doubt of the honesty and sin
cerity of the committee although they diff
fered from him in their opinion. Time only
will decide who was nearest right. Our
opinions are spread upon the records, and
are in a nutshell, and are to this effect We
preferred a first mortgage bond to common
stock in the new corporation And this is
the first time that ever heard of common
stock being preferred to a first mortgage,
even admitting that bond might be subject
to prior claims, to the extent OF even half its
value j. w. DEERING.
Portland, Feb %, 1886.
Mayor Deering says that the statement of
the PRESS that the scheme of reorganization
recommended by him endangered the SUI
premacy of the city in its control of the Port
land & Ogdensburg railroad is untrue in
every particular" This is question for
lawyers rather than laymen to determine,
and opposed to it we place the opinion
of Judge Symonds, who characterized
the scheme at the citizens meeting last fall
as follows-'I say this scheme proposed here
as the voluntary plan is the beginning of the
end of the city's property rights in this rail
road. say as gradually, as imperceptibly,
but as surely as the color goes out Of the
clouds at sunset will the value go out of this
city mortgage"
This is the judgment of the City Solicitor
on this scheme deliberately expressed. 1t is
not strange that the majoriety of citizens
conceded with this view. Whether Mayor
Deering and his associates realized this dan

ward Clerks please Notice.

To-day, as is usual on election day, the
polls will open at 10 a. M, and close at p.
m. 1t is desirable to receive the returns
from each ward at as early moment as is
possible after the full returns have been
counted. The ward clerks will therefore
confer favor by leaving at the PRESS edi-

wards at as early an hour as possible after
the polls close. There will be three tickets to
be counted, the Republican, Democratic and
Prohibition, and also the vote on the Soldiers
Monument question.
