A Train Crashes Into q Jolly
Party of Sleighers.
Eight Persons Killed and Eight
Badly Injured.

A few mornings ago large sleigh con.
taing thirty persons crossed the Lonsdale
grade crossing. Providence. R. l., just as a
freight train dashed up. There was a col-
lision. Eight persons were killed and eight

A gateman is kept at the crossing during
the day and until o'clock at night, when
the most of the passenger travel is over.
Freight trains pass sometimes frequently
after that time, and the crossing is left un-
guarded.
The party comprised young pc ,ple from
the vicinity OF Centre street, Pawtucket.
They were in sleigh drawn by four horses,
and owned by Charles F. Thur5sr. of that
city. Leaving Pawtucket at an early hour,
the party went to Attleboro.
A stop was made at cafe, where supper
was had, and to lengthen tne enjoyment
roundabout course was taken on the return.
The party was singing when, at 12:t
o'clock, they approached the Lonsdale cross
ing on the Worcester division OF the Con-
soidated Railroad.
A stone wall shut off the view Of the rail-
road. and when the party reachsd the cross.
ing the headlight OF q locomotive was within
fifteen feet. The engine crashed into the
sleigh Just forward OF the centre. Before
the engineer could revarse his lever che train
plowed into the wreckage.
The residents OF the village hurried to the
scene in response to the cries for help. Ply
sicians soon arrived. and the wounded were
out in the caboose to be removed to Provi-
dence.
AT $40 o'clock locomotive drawing the
caboose slowly entered ths station, and the
wounded were taken to the ambulances.
The engine and caboose were attached to
the freight train which crashed into the
sleighing party. The engineer. Harris At
wood. said that his train was going at che
regular rate OF speed.
Three-quarters OF a mile west OF the
crossing he had slowed down the train, as
usual, and was within fifteen or twenty feet
of the crossing before he noticed pair OF
horses. The momsntum OF the train could
not be checked in time to avoid the collision.
he was greatly overcome by the accident,
and said that 1t was unavoidable.
