that the story of why will never be
told, as the train crews undoubtedly
met instant death.
AdVices from the wreck at midnight
state that the country for miles around
is lighted up by the burning cars, and
that the flames could not be quenched
because of lack Of proper apparatus.
Mangled bodies were picked up along
the track by the farmers before the
special train sent from Adrian arrived
on the scene. In some instances the
bodies were mangled beyond all rec
ognition The bodies which the res
cuers managed to pull from the burn
ing ruins of the emigrant cars were so
badly burned that their identity will
probably never be ascertained.
The emigrant train was q regular
train drawing two cars of emigrants
going West, and was behind time. This
train was composed Of seven coaches,
hauled by two engines-Nos IS and 151.
Reports differ so far as to the number
of coaches carrying emigrants. One
says there were but two and another
says there were five or six coaches
carrying this class of travellers.
It is not thought any Detroit people
were injured, as a train Immediately
behind the emigrant train contained
the Detroit passengers for Chicago.
The Continental Limited, east-bound,
was made up Of an engine. baggage
car, combination coach and sleeper.
The trains came together one mile east
of Seneca, under a full head of steam.
All but the two rear coaches Of the
emigrant train, the west-bound train,
were demolished, and the coach Of the
Continental was telescoped. Five of
the cars on the emigrant train caught
fire and are still burning. The loss Of
life is estimated at 100 on this train.
The loss Of life on the Continental
Limited is said to be 25.
Engine No. IS Of the emigrant train
exploded and engine No. 609 on the
Continental turned over into a ditch.
The firemen and one engineer on the
emigrant train were killed, and the
fireman and engineer on the Con-
tinental engine jumped and escaped.

reached Division Superintendent Burns

senator elect, and many others whose
presence added strength to the organ
ization of Republicans who are con-
fident of electing Mr.. Fletcher as may
or by a big majority. A number of
incidents happened during the day to
show that the supplemented generos-
ity of Mr.. Fletcher toward the deserV-
ing poor is bearing it's reward.
Among those calling upon him was
a delegation of colored men who re-
member the way in which Mr.. Flet-
cher supported a promising colored
youth while he was getting his edu-
cation. That same colored boy now
holds a position of trust due to the
past kindness of Mr.. Fletcher
Another man said he wanted every
body to know how kind Mr. Fletcher
has been to himself and his family.
He said in part: MIR. Fletcher came
to the house and I supposed he came
to turn us out as I had no money to
pay what I owed him. l told him
Was sorry and that ] supposed he had
come to tell me to move. But what did
he do. He asked he to tell all about
my condition and then declared that
no tenant of his would be put out on
to the street when they were in poor
circumstances. and taking out his rent
book he wrote out receipt for six
months rent, considerably more than
/ owed him. and said, Now, my man,
rest easy, for you can stay here till
warm weather if you want to, even
though you can't pay the rent" He
went away, but hadn't been gone but
little while when his wife called at
the house with warm clothing for the
baby and the other little children,
with nourishing food for myself and
the family and they looked after us
like that all winter until 1 was able
to get to work again.
And do you think that 1 would let
this opportunity pass without letting
people know what kind of man Mr..
Fletcher is? l know Mr. Fletcher does
not like to hear me say this, but I'm
going to just the same"
The employees Of Mr. Fletcher have
had many evidences of his generosity,
and will give him their heartiest sup
port
Instances might be cited without
number showing the character Of the
man whom the Republicans propose
to elect as mayor of Worcester.

]. W. HARRINGTON
STRUCK BY A CAR

John W. Harrington, son of the late
Gilbert II. Harrington Of the Harrington
&, Richardson Arms Company, was struck
and dragged rs feet by an electric car on
Park Avenue yesterday afternoon at 1915
O'Clock. He was taken to the City Hos
pital in the police ambulance in an un-
conscious condition. but last night the
doctors said the injuries, while very pain
full and severe, were in no way serious.
Mr.. Harrington is suffering from bad
wound on the face and his right arm Is
broken near the elbow. There are several
bruises about his body received during the
long distance he was dragged over ths
paving, and which will probably lay him
up for some time.
Mr. Harrington was riding on a Goes
Square car yesterday noon, and left 1t
near the corner Of oliver Street and Park
Avenue. He started to cross around the
rear Of the car and as he stepped on the
other track was struck by another car
running In the opposite direction at full
speed. The car was in charge OF Con-
ductor G. J. Foley and Motorman A. III.
Suprenant. The mOtorman did not sec
the man until his car struck him, as Mr..
Harrington lodged out on TO the track
from the rear Of the other car. He was
thrown TO the ground as soon as struck
and was pushed along for about rs feet
before the car was stopped. As soon as
the car was stopped willing hands lifted
Mr.. Harrington and carried him to the
home of J. II. Gilbert. 525 Park Avenue.
Inspector Herbert J Fisher was on board
the car. and telephoned for the police
ambulance.
DR. Melvin G. Overlook happened 10 be
passing the house and made a superficial

pital staff made a thorough examination
Of the young mans wounds yesterday
afternoon for signs Of internal injuries.
and both physicians are OF the opinion,
