SAD ACCIDENT ON the COOS.
The Local Superintendent Instantly
Killed.

A most deplorable accident, resulting il
the death of Mr.. James Twohey, the super
intendent of the road, and section man
whose name has not been learned, occurred
Tuesday night to train No. 10 on the Upper
Coos, due to leave North Stratford, n. H.
at 7.45 p. m.
Steady rains have been falling about the
upper waters of the Connecticut continually
since the first of May and in the region trav.
ersed by the Upper Coos, the Connection,
valley. lies an immense body OF water, a
freshet unknown except in the earlier days
of spring when the snow leaves the White
Mountains. At Cove Brook, a point six
miles from Stratford where a small stream
crosses the railroad to join the river, cul-
vert of masonry had become undermined
which, owing to the darkness, was unob-
served, but which refused to bear the weight
of the locomotive, which now lies upon its
side about SO feet from the break. The two
men killed were riding upon the engine up
on the lookout for danger and now lie buried
beneath 1t. None of the passengers, or 9TH
er of the railroad men, were injured in the
least.
The accident. comes with doubled shock
to the Maine Central officials who returned
the same evening from the tour of inspection
over the line which comes under their con-
troll so soon, under the guidance of Superin-
tendent TwOhey who was indefatigable in
his efforts to make the tour a success, and
who endeared himself to all by his pleasant
manner and evident through knowledge of
his road.
In view of the Maine Central assuming
control of the road so soon, its officials are
doing everything in their power to repair
the creek, crews having been sent from this
city yesterday morning to the scene.

A HORSES WILD RUN.
Mr.. r. L. Shaw Thrown From His
Carriage on tbs Promenade.

Last evening, Mr.. F. L. Shaw, principal of
Shaw's Business College, as driving
Western Promenade. Mr.. Shaw's horse is a
young and spirited animal, and was attached
to light gig. A team, driven rapidly, COM
ing up behind Mr.. Shaw, frightened IS
horse, which jumped and kicked, thro,1g
QH9g5 MS ,p fGlla R 9 was Rieked In the chofs
and in the face. Mr.. Shaw was. taken to his
home on Gilman street, and the physician
who was called found two ribs fractured by
the blow on the chest. The cuts and bruises
ON Mr.. Shaw's face happily were not serious
and his injuries are not regarded as severe.
The horse ran rapidly across the Prone
made and down Bowdoin street. Coming up
Bowdoin street in the direction of the Prom
enade was a carriage containing Mrs. Free
dom Nash. young man named Chapman,
who was driving, and a little girl. See
ing the runaway, Mr.. Chapman turned
around in the hope of getting around the
corner ahead of the flying animal. In turn
ing, Mrs. Nash's team was driven on to the
gravel sidewalk, and at the same time Mr..
Shaw's horse took to the walk, rapidly over
taking the other team, which was now in
the center Of the sidewalk. 1t looked as IL
there would be smash and another acct
dent. The runaway overlook the carriage,
and swerving slightly to the left plunged be-
tween it and the fence, passing through a
space not more than four feet wide, without
doing any damage to Mrs Nash's team. He
passed so close to it, however, that the shaft
hanging to the fragments of his harness
caught in the wheel Of the carriage and was
torn off. Mr.. Chapman pulled up at the
next corner with the shaft and piece of
harness dragging from the axle of the car
riage.
Then Mr.. Shaw's horse ran down Bowdoin
into Thomas street. He fell by the Willis
ton church, but was up and off again in a
second, still running on the sidewalk. At
the corner of Pine and Thomas street. the
animals feet went out from under him, and
he slid some distance through the dirt. Be-
fore the horse could get under way again,
Mr.. Howard Soule had him by the head
The animal was slightly cut and bruised, but
did not appear to be badly hurt.
