SERIOUS COLLISION.
Many Persons Shaken Up, But Only One
Badly Injured

Somerville, Mass, Feb. 3.-Between
80 and 40 persons were more or less in
jured, one perhaps fatally, two cars
were smashed, and a locomotive was
ruined, as the result of a rear-end coll
lision at the Winter Hill station Of the
Boston and Maine railroad, about 7.22
o'clock this morning That the accident
was not a more terrible one is little
in collision were crowded. The storm
cident, as none of the signals on the
road were working, but there seems to
have been also a confusion on the part
of the train officials.
The train, which was standing at the
station taking on passengers was To-
cal one from Stoneham, while the coll
liding train was from Concord, Mass,
and came on to the main line at West
Somerville, about a mile distant from
the Winter Hill station, running ex-
press to Boston. The Concord train had
not attained full speed when the acct
dent occurred.
Both the rear car of the Stoneham
train and the front one of the Concord
train were telescoped, while the others
of both trains were well shaken up.
The passengers on the Concord train
seem to have Jared worse than those in
the other train, but all the injuries seem
to have been confined to broken limbs
and bad cuts, although c. w. Rugg, of
this city, is believed to be internally in
jured, and may die

Northboro Boy Did Not Perish as Was
FocIjshlY Reported,

Young Burke Of Northboro was found
Tuesday night by the searching parties.
He did not attempt TO go home, as re-
ported, but went to the home of the

where he was found late last night.
The aid of the authorities was called be-
fore due investigation was made.
HAD A HARD TIME.
The heavy SHOWS Monday night which
blocked the New York, New Haven and
Hartford Railroad caused a great deal
of delay When the snow plow came up
from South birmingham Tuesday after
noon, the force of the snow which was
thrown smashed both switchboards At
its return trip it reached the Westboro
Hospital station ct IL O'Clock p. m. AT
this point near the upper switch both
engine and snow pillow jumped the track,
taking opposite sides. The train was
running at the rate of Is miles per hour
when the accident occurred. The engine
came within a few feet of going down
the embankment; mad 1t done so, it
would probably have caused almost to-
tai wreck to the locomotive as well as
loss of life. As it was the damage was
slight. The cause of the disaster is I'M
known. After the wreck a rail was
found broken in two. The track was
blocked for a space of 70 hours.
The street railway is blocked and will
require shoyeling the entire distance.
Work is being done on the main line,
and it is expected that cars will run to
Worcester and Marlboro shortly NJ. F.
Wood accompanied the snow pillow,
which started out at 10 80 Monday eve
ming, but has since repented. The snow
pillow returned "Wednesday afternoon.
During this time Mr.. Wood and the en-
ployeest were compelled to seek lodging
and refreshments at the various farm
houses on the liae.

AGENT HEALYs REPORT.
kIondika Travellers Left Greenfield in
Coed Shape.

Ticket Agent J. F. Healy returned
Thursday from Greenfield, to which
place he accompanied the Worcester
and Northwestern Mining and Trading
Company on its journey to Seattle, with
the Copper river gold region as the final
objective point He left the company in
hoVinS secured for them
better accommodation than he expec.-
ed At Gardner a Pullman tourist car
was attached and the transfer from
the special passenger coach which was
allowed the company from the Union
depot was quickly made, the members
expressing themselves as highly pleased
with the improved conditions.
All the party were in good spirits and
were unaffected by the absence Of one
of their number, who concluded to ,bask
in the sunshine of his happy home rath-
er than take his chances in the frozen
north. Some even thought that it re-
quired more courage to remain in Wor-
cester than to continue on the journey.
POSTPONED DEPARTURE.
The party headed by Charles Aldrich,
the wooden manufacturer of Millbury,
which is going to Stewart river and
which was to leave Thursday afternoon,
concluded to postpone their departure
The party comprises Charles Aldrich,
l.. u. Pennell and two others, possibly
Thomas Gummers. The outfits Of the
four are practically complete, but all
the equipmen, is not ready; and, as
other arrangements are to be made, 1T
was deemed wise to delay a few days
for developments. No date for the de-
parture has yet been fixed, but the
party expects to leave next week. The
party will go via the Fitchburg, etc,
following the same route to Seattle as
the Worcester mining company. Agent

STRIKERS DISAGREE.
Trouble Brewing Between Union and Non
Union Bodies.

New Bedford, Mass, Feb S.-The feat
ure in the strike situation is the differ
ence that has arisen between the union
and the non-union operatives. This diff
ference promises to end in open rup-
ture, and, as many cases of restitution
are actually reported, hundreds of nom
union operatives it is believed, would
take the first chance to make a break
from the strikers and return to work.
These non-unionists claim that money
collected outside the union has been
paid to union operatives, to the exclu-
sion of the non-unlon help. Such a feel
ing has been created among the nom
union strikers that a meeting was
called for this afternoon at O'clock at
the north end in the strikers head
quarters. This news was given broad
circulation. AT the headquarters in
Dawson's hall this morning, nom
union striker mounted the platform to
make the announcement of the meeting.
He had not talked a moment, when
some of the crowd, which nearly filled
the hall, set upon him, dragged him
from the platform and put him out of
the building.
