Portland at O'Clock p. M, met with
serious accident between Bradford sta
tion and the Haverhill bridge over the
Merrimac river, caused by rails spread
ing near a frog on q curve where the
turn is made to run on the bridge. The
engine passed safely, but the smoker and
two cars left the track. The smoking
car ran on the bridge and turned over.
One coach smashed into the tank house
and the other through the sleeper. The
crash was fearful and the cries of the
people terrible to hear. The Haverhill
fire department came out, but rs all the
cars We're equipped with steam heaters
no portion Of the train caught fire. Ten
persons are known to have been killed,
several others are expected to die, and
many others are more or less Sc
