COMMISSIONERS
Blame Engineer Harry H. Rich
for foxcroft Accident.
Train Running too Fast and Air Pres
sure Would Not Work.
81
Decision Rendered Of Interest to the Portland
Railroad Company.

railroad Commissioners Peaks, chad
bourne and SpoffOrd met at their rooms
in the Capitol, yesterday afternoon, and
settled a few matters that have been
pending for some time. The lack of
railroad connections east of August,
all of last week prevented the commits
sioners from meeting. until yesterday.
Their findings in the Foxcroft accident
are as follows: ..
y serious accident occurred to a
freight train on the Maine Central Rail
road at FONcroft on the 1th day OF
! November. A. D., 1901. i'll which Fire
man Frank f. French was killed.
The train consisted of 10 freight cars,
and one cabOOse. hauled. by two en-
sines. The fofw ard engine was in charge
of Harry n. Rich Of Foxcroft. engineer,
with Harry W. Warren as fireman. The
w. Bradley Of FOXcroft. engineer. with
Frank r. French as fireman. Henry S.
Russell Of Foxcroft. was conductor
| George L. Harding. Harry Pomeroy
and Horace Wilson We're brakemen.
Th,. train, which should have left
Newport at 800 left there at sos p. NJ.
with - loaded cars besides the caboose.
Four of these cars We're left at Corinna
md one at Dexter.
The train arrived at Foxcroft at $50.
three hours late. The testimony of all
the train men, both engineers. one fire.
man. brakeman and conductor. is posi-
tive that when the train left Siivers $
Mills the air-brakes We're all right: that
they We're tested and found to be in
good condition..
1t is iE testimony by several wit
nesses that the brakes were not used
again. at all, until the locomotives were
near the corn factory, a little less than
mile from the station at FOxcrOft.
The engineer, Harry II. Rich, engi-
neer of the forward engine, and who
was the only one who had charge Of the
air brakes. testified that he first used
his brakes near the corn factory. That
he thought they We're then all right,
ana he noticed q slackening of the
speed of the train, but lie immediately
thereafter discovered that the cars
were pushing the engine When at the
spool factory, which is about 100 feet
, from the station. lie discovered that he
| had lost control of the train. That he
! Immediately put on his emergency and
| sienalIed for brakes.
/ When he arrived at or near Spring
/ Street crossing, he reversed his engine
and jumped to the ground.
! The train ran along to the station, on
! To the side track. over the turHstable.
ana into the engine house. The pas
senger locomotive which was in the en-
! gine house was knocked through the
sid.. of the building. and nearly twice
its length out into the field. The for
+ wafd engine went through the round
house and Immediately dropped below
the siIls the rear engine tipped the for
ward tender over endwise and complete

rear engine when the train stopped was
