leave the ties, the car going at least
two rods with the rear wheels on thu
timbers before they finally left AT the
side of the track, for distance of sew
eral rods, the ballasting train had lcft
a large amount of gravel, through
which the rear ttucks plougned for sew
eral rods, while the forward trucks had
practically remained ON the rails.
Then the car turned bottom up.
So quickly was it all done that the
passengers had no time to think of tho
matter until they We're lying piled W
in heaps in the top of the car.
The sight was horrible
Nearly every window in the car was
broken into hundreds of pieces and
passengers were cut 10y the glass, SOM
of them horribly.
Blood was on everything.
The breaking of the draw-bar that
held the rear car saved the next car
from being derailed and the automatic
brakes stopped the train after it had
gone twice its length
Passengers hurried to the scene ana
began removing the injured
1t was spectacle to be long remem-
bcTed The passage of the wheels
through the gravel at the side of the
track filed the car with dirt and the
passengers were covered with it, Blood
from their wounds covered their
clothes as they crcpt to the open air
Cries of distress were heard on all
sides; men rubbed their heads. or hung
grooming to injured limbs; women cried
and shrieked with fear and pain Some
crawled through the windows and some
had to be borne out by friends
The first to he brought out of the car
was Mrs Preston Townsend of New
port. whose face was cut in a shocking
manner. Mrs. Townsend was hurt so
badly that she was thought to be dead.
but is still living.
on top of the car Frank O. Billings of
East Newport, was found. How he
come there is a mystery. He was
grooming. with his hands on his head.
and when men climbed upon the car to
assist him they found his right leg
caught about an iron rod, and broken
in three places. 1t was said that he
was standing on the steps when the ac-
cidcnt occurred and that in some way
he was thrown so that he landed on the |
roof as the car went down the bank
A short distance from the rear end of |
the ear lying in the sand was found the |
body of Martin Payne, aged % years. a |
resident of Plymouth. He had received |
an ugly cash over his right eye and his |
left eye was protruding, showing that |
that side Of his skull was injured. He |
had little life, and died in a few mo- |
ments. lie was removed to the bank
beside the track, where he breathed |
his last, and he was then carried to the |
shade of a fruit tree where the body |
was covered, while the more pressing
needs of the living were attended. !
Within a few rods of the scene is the /
home of r. II. Simpson. The family |
were absent but the house was broken
into and Mrs Preston Townsend car
ried there from the scene of the acct
dent, as well as others.
