Talk In Biddeford Concerning an ex-
Tax Collectors Account.

BIDDEFoRD, September 27.-The Bidde-
ford Times tonight has the following in ref
erence to the accounts of Richard NJ. john
son, tax collector for the years 1884 and 1885
"a glance at the city reports for last year
shows that the amount due from the tax of
1884 is $10,310.09; from tax Of 1885, So 709. .92-
making grand total Of $20,020.01 due the
city from these two years taxes from ex
Collector johnson. A prominent city father
was seen and stated that they were getting
a little anxious about Johnson's taxes and
had repeatedly called upon him to fix up the
books and make an endeavor to collect a
part of this amount. But until yesterday
they had not been able to get him at work
upon the matter. Yesterday he was at the
assessors office all day pointing out taxes he
claimed he could not collect and upon which
he asked abatement"
Mr.. Johnson's bondsmen are his mother,
lately deceased, the late VIM. Emery of Al
fred, John 81. Burnham, Ferguson Haines
and Henry Cole of this city.

Later News Happily Proves the EarIv
Reports Exaggerated.
Four or Five Lives Lost Near PaIa-
tine Bridge, New York.

RocHEsTER. N. Y, September 27.-A dis
astrous railroad accident Is reported late To-
night from Palatiue Bridge 1t is said a fast
train of five cars was telescoped by another
train of five cars, Fully 800 people were on
board the two trains. Relief trains, with
surgeons on board, are said to have gone
from Albany and Utica.
ALBANY, N. Y, September 2S.-1.S5 a. m.
Reports ofIan accident on the Central Hud-
son are confirmed. As near as can be learned
the accident occurred two miles east of Pala-
tine Bridge. The telegraph office at that
station is not a night one. The train run in
to is the first section Of Ne. s. which leaves
New York at p. M, arriving here at $50 p.
m, followed by the second section. The
first section had broken down, and before
the second section could be tagged the col
lision occurred. The wreck is bad one.
No trustworthy details have yet been re-
ceived.
CANAyoHARIE, N. Y. Sept. 2S.-Three
sleeping cars are in shapeless mass and
many lives are lost.
ALBANY, Sept. 2S.-The first section Of
the train is usually made up of two ordinary
coaches, two parlor cars and three baggage
cars. The second section seldom goes out
with less than seven sleepers. The train
travels over the Michigan Southern via
Niagara Falls, and is favorite with travel
lers. 1t is entirely of vestibule cars and
runs very fast
UTICA, September 2S.--2 a. ma special

damaged.
ALBANY, September 2S.-3.23 a. m.-All
those hurt were on the first section with the
exception Of Engineer Horth. 1t is now
said the cause of the accident was the break
ing down of section one as the result of the
steam chest of the locomotive giving out.

ShoWEREo WITH VITRioL.
Car Laden with the Stuff In a
Collision.

HAcKENsAcK, N. Y, Sept. 2T.-:A oollls-
ion has blocked the main line OF the New
Jersey IL New York railroad near Lodi
Junction. and 300 passengers have had
miraculous escape from death.
The Haverstraw express, which lett Jer-
sey City at Cos last evening, came rushing
along at 40-mile rate of speed. A freight
train on the Susquehanna road had been
shifted from the Lodi branch Of that road to
a side track running parallel with the New
Jersey & New York. A careless switchman
failed to replace the switch and when the
Haverstraw train came along it took the
switch and crashed into the rear car loaded
with vitriol.
The two trains ran along for 200 feet,
struck the main track and stopped. The
fireman, William Young, jumped from the
flying train and received severe injuries.
The engine completely telescoped the car "
struck, and when it finally stopped 1t stood
up on end.
There was panic among the passengers.
Everybody made a rush for the doors. Men
swore and the women screamed, and, to add
TO the terror,a heavy stream of vitriol dashed
In over the floor of the first passenger coach.
Ihe fumes were sickening, and some of the
passengers feared that the engine would
puTst, but fortunately it came out all right.
The engineer, Theodore Sherman, was
overcome by the fumes of the acid.
John van, brakeman, had his head cut,
and was burned by the vitriol.

Maine Auxiliary Fire Alarm Co

The fire alarm system now being put In
this city by the Maine Auxiliary Fire Alarm
Company has been adopted very generally
by several cities In Massachusetts,, and In
Boston 1t has been growing steadily In favor
since its introduction, and II is estimated
that large sums Of money have been saved
by its adoption.
1t is now an admitted fact that the large
losses at fire occur when there Is a delay In
ringing In the alarm promptly and 1t Is to
avoid this that the system now being intro
duced into this city is intended.
A good illustration of the danger OF not
sending In an alarm promptly was shown by
the Middle street fire on the morning OF
September 4th, when there was long delay
In getting thelkey with the consequent result
OF larger fire than was necessary. There
Is Of necessity danger Of great losses and
confagrations when one has to delay In
order to wake up the inmates of q house 90
get key TO the ire alarm box, and then re-
turn to the box and pull the alarm. BY the
adoption Of the hre auxiliary alarm all this
will be avoided. The system Is simple and
readily understood and Is being adopted by
our enterprlsing merchants.
The protection afforded dwelling, office
or factory Is readily understood when one
realizes that In case fire breaks out In
building equipped with one OF these alarms
all he has TO do is to step to the box located
In some convenient place In the building)
break the glass to the box and ring In the
alarm, instead of wasting ten or twenty min
utes In going to the place where the key is
keeps and then running to the fire alarm box,
to strike the alarm.
This system is especially valuable for hO-
tells, churches and school houses, where
large numbers Of people congregate and
where there Is always danger to life as we'll
as property in any delay attending upon
Although Just introduced into the city, we
are glad to state that 1t Is meeting with gen.
eral approval and being adopted by such
firms as Goudy Il Kent, Star Match Com
pany, Winslow's Pottery, Kennard's stables
and others.
The Maine Auxiliary Alarm Company
will fill long needed want In the communi-
ty and all good citizens will welcome any
preventive Of the fire fend."
