the locomotive was demolished and seven
oars ditched, no one was seriously in
jured. The accident was caused by
broken rail and is the fourth that has
befallen passenger trains on this division
this year. The train was a heavy one and
was made up OF the locomotive, two bag
gage cars, four passenger coaches, two
sleeping cars and mail car, nine cars in
all. The Montreal section was composed
of seven cars aud the Boston section two.
The latter section was in the rear Of the
train and did not leave the rails. There
were over 100 passenge in the two rear
cars, bound to Bangor, Portland, Bos-
ton and other places. They were to have
been transferred to the regular Boston

he found his engine capsized iu muddy
ditch. He and the firoman were partially
stunned, but managed to crawl out of the
wreck before they were scalded by the
escaping steam. The engine was broken
up and the forward cars were badly
smashed. Nearly every person on the
train suffered temporarily from the
shock.
The track was torn up for forty yards
and traffic is entirely suspended. Wreck

every one on board injured. A few days
after an express from Montreal went over
an embankment at Lowelltown, Maine,
and the same week an accommodation
train was wrecked at Sherbrooke.
