SEVERE ACCIDENT.
Miss Addie L. Boynton Badly Injured at Wiz
throp Street Crossing.

A severe accident took place. yester-
day morning. at the Winthrop street
crossing. Miss Addie l.. Boynton was
coming down Winthrop street on her
way 10 the Maine Central station. The
gate was closed, but she walked upon
the crossing and swung around toward
the depot The paper train, which is
due here at 9.15, was just pulling into
the station. and as Miss Boynton
stepped in front of the engine the gate
man called to her, as did the people up
on the platform of the depot. They
were not in season SO she was struck
by the engine as she was just outside
of the rail on the depot side. She was
thrown a distance of about Is feet ana
fell upon the platform. She was taken
up, placed in a nearby carriage and
conveyed to her boarding place upon
Court street.
DR.. Wellington Johnson was sum
moned and took charge of the case. He
found that no bones had been broken
but that she was badly shaken up. Sic
received a bad blow on the back and
has A severe scalp wound There are
other bruises about her head and body.
Last evening. she was apparently
gaining from the effects of the acct
dent and the physician holds out en-
enlargement for her speedy recovery.
The train had slowed up as it came
into the station. which rendered he
injuries less severe.
Miss Boynton does not remember
anything concerning the circumstance s
of the accident. Many theories are ad-
vanced, the most plausible being thai
in her anxiety to get to her destina
tion she was entirely oblivous to the
danger nto which she walked. The:C
is no blame attached to anyone.
Miss Boynton is a highly reSpecte 4
young lady. She has been employe, !,
as cashier for the Nickery & Hill Pub
fishing Co. for about seven years, hay
ing come here from her home at Booth
bay. Her parents, Capt. and Mrs. Frt :
mont BoyntOn are here. having conn
here several days ago to visit the !
daughter. Many expressions of regr,
are heard on all sides at the sad acc.
dent.
