THE CAUSE OF THE ACCIDENT.
| No. II is the official designation of the
train which leaves Portland at 7.O5
O'Clock in the morning for Lewiston.
There are usually very few passengers to
take this train, and consequently 1T is
not a very heavy one. Yesterday No. II
was made IN of locomotive, baggage
Cur, numbered 460, smoking car, num-
bered $3.50 and first class passenger car,
numbered 46. No. Il is the first passen-
ger train out of Portland over the Grand
Trunk IN the morning and nearly all Of
those who took it yesterday were rosi-
dents of this city. The engineer was
Joseph Webbsr and the freman's name
was Lynch. The conductor in charge OF
the train was Benjamin K. Morse and
the baggage master was +. g. Adams.
When No. II pulled out of the Grand
Trunk station the passengers who had
boarded tire train at Portland were con-

gully, formed by the embankment of
the Grand Trunk and that OF the Maine
Central which road runs parallel to the
Grand Trunk aud only dozen yards or
so from it for the entire distance from
New Gloucester to Danvilla Junction.
It was at this fill that the accident TO
No. II occurred and when the car left the
track they went down the steep embank-
ment to the left OF it and came to
standstil between the Maine Central en-
hankment ami the Grand Trunk.
The train was running as has been
said, at the rate of about twenty-five
miles an hour. Not fifteen minues be-
fore No. Il came along Section Master
Mowatt and his crew of men had passed
along over the track, over the rail which
was to wreck the train, and everything
was then all right. AS No. u whizzed
past the section master and his men they
were standing besides the track just at
the Portland end of the aforementioned
cut. Hardly had the train passed by
when the section men hoard crash, fol-
lowed by the cries OF frightened men and

Two miles this side of Danville juno
ton, where the passengers of the Maine
Central shange to the Grand Trunk,
there is a deep cut just at the end of a
rather sharp curve. Beyond tbs out to-
wards Danville junction there Is long
fill across a little valley, and this forms
an embankment about twenty feet high.
On the right hand side Of this cut, going
towards Lewiston, flows the Royal river,
it's waters almost washing the foot of the
railroad en- bsnkment. On the left hand
side OF the embankment is a narrow

hugging the left hand rail so closely as
to leave their mark ON 1t. For tne
distance OF about ten yards there was
enough space between the track and the
edge of the embankment to keep the
smoking and passenger cars in an up
right position. When their outer wheels
tipped down over the embaukment a few
feet, the cars themselves toppled over and
the draw bar between the baggage and
smoking cars snapped like pipe stem.
Over the embankment plunged the two
rear cars. The smoking cars struck end
on at the bottom of the gully between
the embankments Of the Maine Central
and Grand Trunk, and buried itself for
fully five feet in the frozen ground. The
rear of the passenger car swung down
tho steep moline as gate is opened, It's
forward end resting near the top OF the
embankment and only few feet from
the rear end of the smoking car. while
the tail end of the passenger coach
brought up the bottom of the gully with
a crash, which drove the CORNER OF the

from the bitter cold of the wintery morn

fortably settled themselves for their ride
of an hour and twenty minutes to Lewis

The train was due at the latter place at
$40 pollock, and RS it stops at all of the
stations along the route, it bowls along
between stops at the rate of about 25
miles an hour. At New Gloucester No.
II passes the down train from Lewiston,
which is due hers at $50 O'Clock, and

time they crossed there according to the

ing the fiscal affairs of the government
by depriving it of an income sufficient to
defray its necessary expenditures.
"If the usual proportion of this in
come is hereafter to be derived from
taxes ON imported goods, the protective
theory must be abandoned as basis uf
our legislation upon the subject and
we'll considered and constant revenue
system must be substituted in its place.
In my opinion this can be done without
material injury to any trade or industry
now existing in this country.
Although the number of purely wov-
en- articles has been much diminished by
the economic conditions that have taken
place during the last few years, such
articles are still sufficient in number.

situation demand the adoption Of the

these sources.
