A TERRIBLE WRECK.


8bCnuteLHs
The horror Of the great Quincy accident
was recalled In Boston Saturday night when a
through freight fast express train wcst-bound
on the Fltchburg railroad ran Into passen-
ger train standing on the outbound track
Mt West Cambridge junction, tclescoplns the
rear car, killing six persons outright and in
Turing nearly forty Others, three Of whom
have since died.
When the engine struck the rear car 1t en-.
tetcd like wedge, splitting into two parts,
while the rear of the car lodged on top OF the
locomotive. The recoll from the collision
drove the heavily loaded freight cars back
ward, and although the two cars nearest the
engine, which were II refrigerator car and
Burton stock car, were hot injured, and ten
or twelve ears behind them were smashed Into
kindling wood Several Of these were loaded
with lumber. and this was strewn all along
the track. The cars were piled upon one an
other ip ndescrlbablc confusion completely
blocking both trucks for fully 100 yards.
The pilot and cylinder boxer Of the freight
engine were poked underneath the forward
truck of the rear passenger car, which made
II almost impossible for any human being to
escape, without injury, who occupied seats In
that car. On the rear end Of the ill-fatcd car
mans legs were dangling, the trunk being
found u quarter OF mile down the track,
The prevailing Impression was that II was
tramp stealing Il ride on the pilot OF the
freight engine, or tucked away on the rear
truck OF the passenger car.
The rear brakeman of the passenger train,
who shortly after the accident was sent back
about GOO feet to notify the engineer 'of the
freight train of danger aheas, states that he
went back as directed ~ .bsaslled the
freight train and his signal wS4 answered by
two whistles, which Is the usual answer that
all signals have been seen and noted. The
reason for the collision he feels sure was
that the engineer of the freight train could
not control his train, which was OF thirty
cars, the greater part OF them containing luin-
Der, all very heavy.
But soon another source Of danger devel-
oped. Flames began TO burst from the
wrecked freight cars. Two alarms on the
fire bells were hurrledly sounded and the
whole fire department OF Cambridge promptly
responded and soon put out the flames.
Members OF the police force also appeared
and order began to be evolved out of chaos.
Then the work Of rcsculng the dead and In
jured was begun. The Windows Of the rear
car had to be broken In and portion OF the
side cut through in order to reach them. The
station was turned Into an emergency hospi-
tai, 10 which those taken from the wreck
were removed and cared for.
One by one the dead bodies were brought
In and placed upon the floor. Mangled by
the crash Of timbers, scalded by steam and
blackened by fire, they presented sickening
appearance. The groans Of the injured and
the cries OF those who were searching for
missing friends and relatives added to the
horrors OF the scene.
