again. and looked ahead. He saw no de-
preston or lift in the rails or nothing
unusual about the road bed. The first
intimasion he had that anything was
wrong was when be felt the rear driving
wheel on the left hand side of the engine
drop as II into hule. The engines
tender passed over the place all right,
but the cars behind plunged down into
the ditch. As soon as possible he stopped
the engine and ran back to the spot
where the accident had occurred. Nine
of the seventeen passengers appeared 20
be much injured. The track where TINS
accident occurred was smooth, solid ana
In good condition. When the aceioent
occurred the train was running thirty
five miles an hour.
Michael M. Lynch of Portland. pro-
NOTED fireman, who sometimes ran as an
engineer on the Grand Trunk, has been
railroading fifteen years, and for three
years has been a promoted man. He COR
roboratsd the engineers story in every
particular.
william Cotter Of Montreal, division
superintendent of the Grand Trunk. has
been railroading = twenty-five years In
various departments. He had made a
careful examination of the track where
the accident occurred, Of the broken rail-
and of the trucks on the cars OF the train
which was wrecked. The flaw in the
rail could not have besn detected before
the accident occurred In his opinion. The
car trucks were all in good condition and
had not been responsible for the breaking
of the rail.
Clark Mowatt of New Gloucester,
section foreman, has had live years ex-
perience onIsection work. The track where
the accident occurred had been carefully
inspected on the Saturday previous to
the accident Monday morning. Nothing
unusual had been noticed about this
track at this point. 1t was In good CON-
dition.
Mr.. r. Armour of Montreal, assistant
engineer of the Eastern Division of the
Grand Trunk, testified that the flaw In
the rail could not have been discovered
by any reasonable inspection previous to
the accident. He believed the rails at
the point where the accident took place
had been down about ten years, and were
in good shape and perfectly safe.
This ended the investigation and in a
few weeks the railroad commissioners
will make public their decision on the
matter.

portance to every member OF the CON-
mand and the members OF Company d
have received strict orders to be on hand
this evening and none but the best ex-
cuse will let a man off from this inspec-

The members OF the company from
Captain Fleige down to the high private
IN the rear rank have been working hard
getting ready for this inspection, and.
with buttons blazing, bayonets shining
and an altogether natty personal ap-
pearance. they are more than likely to
make good showing and a favorable
impression on the inspector general ON

eral other officers present at the inspec.
ton, Captain Gardner OF the United

South Shore Trains
May Be Run on
Sunday.
Now Waiting For The Rails.
Engineer Payne Expects TO Com
mence the LAYING of Them To-
morrow.

Engineer p, h, Payne, OF the South
Shore, came up from Marquette last even
ing to superintend the work OF LAYING
the rails on the new road bed from Osce-
ola to Red Jacket by way OF Swedetown.
he expected to have the rails on hand
and be ready TO commence work this
morning and was surprised to find that
the rails had not yet arrived. de said
that the wide guage would be ready for
the first train by Sunday if the steel rails
were here and II they came today he
thought he could rush the work so that
il would be ready by next Sunday, but
otherwise it would be some time next
week before the road would be ready for
the first South Shore train.
The road bed from Osceola to Red
Jacket has all been graded and the ties
laid with the exception OF short dis
tancs near the Swedetown bridge. The
big tunnel at Swedetown had to be torn
down in order to make the road bed.
When the South Shore is run to this |
city it will make but two through pas.
senger trains out OF the city and two
arriving daily. The regular morning
train will start for Mackinaw about the
same time it does now and will arrive
here about the same time in the evening,
perhaps little earlier. The noon trains
that connect for Chicago will not leave
until after the arrival OF the noon train
from down the line as the incoming train
will turn around and start back soon
after its arrival here.
1t is thought that two local trains will
also be run TO accommodate the passen.
ger traffic between this city and the Por.
tage Lake towns as that amounts to
quite good deal and the through pas
'enger will hardly be able to take care OF
{. 1t may be that a mixed freight and
passenger will be run between the two ,
