1t Is safe to say that the people Of the
Blackstone Valley were never more
shocked than they were to learn, this
morning, that a terrible fatality had
occurred In their very midst. as it were,
and that nearly score Of persons who
had moved among them in their daily
walks Of life were either MANNED for life
or killed outright. by terrible castas-
tr5phe at the grade crossing of the
Worcester division Of the Consolidated
road at Lonsdale.
The accident happened at 12;45 o'clock
this morning, few minutes past mid
night. At that hour party Of Paw
tucket people who had been to Attleboro
In party sleigh, were returning to their
homes They had passed n pleasant even
ing and being in good spirits they came
home by way of Lonsdale in order to get
a longer ride. The party numbered
twenty six, all told, and occupied large
four-horse sleigh belonging to Charles f.
Thurber, the Pawtucket expressm
Daniel c. Richardson, regular driver
for Mr. Thurber, had charge of the turn
out.
The party turned into what is known
as Railroad street, but what is really a
sort Of continuation of Lonsdale avenue,
which crosses the railroad jnst north Of
the passenger depot. On the right of the
road going from the Catholic oak toward
the track there is a high bank, which pre-
vents a view CT the track in a northerly
direction until the railroad bed is
reached.
The gatetender at this crossing goes off
at O'Clock in the evening, and after that
hour there is no warning Of the approach
OF a train with the exception OF the engi-
neer's whistle or bell.
The jolly party were singing and en-
joying themselves to the utmost. and
this is probably the reason why the ap-
preaching train was not heard. At all
events no intimation was had that there
was train anywhere near until the
sleigh was driven on the track, when the
headlight OF locomotive coming
straight for them at the rate of seven
teen mil an hour was seen not fifteen
feet away.
Before anyone had time TO realize the
danger the engine struck the forward
end OF the sleigh, scattering the occu-
pants In all directions. The engineer re-
versed his lever. but the heavy freight
train could not be checked aud the engine
ploughed through the wreck, mangling
the human bodies beneath the wheels.
The train was stopped within 100 feet
and the roar Of the train then gave place
TO the shrieks Of the injured and groans
OF the dying.
The villagers were soon aroused by the
noise and rushed TO the scene In flocks.
The injured we're cared for at houses
near by, and everyone lent a hand in the
work Of aiding the unfortunate victims.
DrS Smith, Haines. Merrill and Medi-
cal Examiner Garvin were soon on the
scene and lent their assistance in the
ghastly work.

The Portland Oregonian is a splendid
specimen of journalism and credit to
the newspaper fraternity of the Pacific
coast. The recent effort of one of the
state exchanges to belittle it by refer
ring to the coming session of the legis-
lature as affording ''another opportu-
nifty for the .Oregonian to become OBJ
noxious to Washington readers by rea-
son of its well-known propensity for
meddling with our affairs" is an in
situation unwarranted by facts and
lacking in the courtesy due to a worthy
and admirable journal. The editorial
page of the Oregonian is masterpiece
of literary taste and accurate statement
while the paper as whole fully de
serves the popularity which it enjoys
both in its own state as well as
throughout the coast.

streets or highways through implanted
lands. 1t has in some instances been
deemed wise in Fairhaven, as in New
Whatcom, to make some such improve
ments, and like contingencies may arise
in the future. The powers necessary
to invoke in such cases are not only not
clear, but are very doubtful, condi-
ton which ought not to exist with
reference to any important power the
exercise of which may be necessary to
the well-being Of city.
Another suggestion, relating to the
collection of taxes, is important. The
tax question is one upon which people
are generally sensitive, and the more
convenient and simple the methods o.
collection are made the more satisfac
tory they will be. There is no neces
sity of having two persons, occupying
different places and positions during
the year, to whom to pay taxes. Firs
the marshal and then the city attOrne.

neither of them ought to be at an.

any time it is for other business, an

The ladies in charge of the Children's
Home, of this city, began sending their
circulars yesterday to the ladies re-
siding in the counties of Whatcom,
Skagit and San Juan. The institution
is a worthy one and well deserving of
support. 1t will supply an important
need. Some of those who have been
requested to become members of the
institution have expressed their will
ingness to render aid to the Home, but
did not feel that they could spare the
time to look after the Home or always
attend the meetings of the society. The
HERALD is requested to announce that
the Home will be entirely managed by
the directors, who shall be elected by
members, and that the idea in sending
the circulars is not to put extra wori
upon those who join, but thereby t
have regular income with which t
meet current expenses. The member
ship fee is only 81, with monthly due
amounting to % cents. The director
will of course be glad 10 have any o
the members call at the Home at an,
time and inspect its working, and ais
attend the meetings If 1t be convenient
but the principal object is to secure
large membership in order to hav
funds coming in regularly with whicl

hoped that everyone receiving circu

AMENDING CITY CHARTERS

Doubtless the joint committees Of the
cities of Fairhaven and New Whatcom,
which are to hold meeting today for
the purpose of considering whether any
amendments to the laws under which
these cities are incorporated are de-
sirable, have considered the questions
fully, and from the standpoint Of an
experience which presumably will
enable them to point out with force
and clearness any defects which exist
in the present charters. That such
defects do exist and ought to be rem
edied is quite clear to anyone who has
given the matter any attention what
ever. Among the matters to be rem
edied is the provision in relation t
streets, and 1t ought to be made quit
clear that cities of the third class hav'
the power of exercising the right o
eminent domain. At present thu
power is a doubtful one, even II 1t Il
not quite certain that 1t does not exis
at all. A city which cannot condemn
property for the purpose Of opening 1t
streets is greatly limited in the matte
of making such improvements as ar
sometimes very desirable.
In this connection there should b
provision made for the manner of, ant
the limits within which, assessment
may be made on abutting propert.
