special train conveying the archbishop
of Canterbury from Bar Harbor, Me-,
to Washington was wrecked on the
Boston & Albany division OF the New
York Central railroad neal the station
here. The archbishop was not injured,
although considerably shaken up. j..
Pierpont Morgan. of New York, who
was also on the train accompanying
the archbishop, was shaken up but not
hurt.
The special, running at the rate OF
60 miles IN hour, was just passing the
station when a detached locomotive,
which had been drawing a train on the
North Brookfield branch, ran onto the
main line for some reason at present
unexplained.
Too Late to Stop.
The engineer of the special sighted
a danger signal, but owing TO the high
speed of the train and the slippery con
diticn Of the rails, due TO the mist OF
early morning, he found it impossible
20 do more than slightly reduce the
speed of his locomotive. The engineer
of the branch engine heard the onrush
of the special, but he had not time to
o out of the way. The archbish-
ops train struck the North Brookfield
engine with a terrific crash and demol-
ished it. The other locomotive was
thrown from the rails and landed
across the eastbound track near the
wreck of the North Brookfield engine.
The cars did not leave the track.
Concern For the Archbishop.
Immediately it was realized that the
lives of the archbishop and Mrs. Day.
idson, as well as of others attending
them had been imperiied, ard first in
quiries were for them. Rev. j. Eli
son, the archbishop's secretary, IN
swered for those in the archbishop's
private car, saying that no n was in
jured. With the archbishop, besides
Mrs. Davidson and Mr.. Morgan, were
Rev. Hyla Holden and Rev. j. Ellison,
and attendants. 1t was rumored that
a maid was hurt, but her injuries
| were not serious. Traffic or the road
was blocked for some time.
Some Train Hands Hurt.
Several of the train hands were
slightly injured. So great was the
| speed of the special that the solitary
engine Ia carried along 100 yards be-
fore it was dropped on the eastbound
rails. The tracks were considerably
damaged.
The archbishop's special train with
a new engine later resumed it's trip tc
Washington.

It has long been a debatable question
whether heredity or environment is re-
spons1ble for the depravity and degen-
eracy of children. In either case it is
the parent and not the child upon whom
the responsibility must rest. If the
Juvenile court law will compel parents
to look after their children better, in
stead of haling them into court on the
least p~rovocation and asking that they
be sent to jail or the reform school, it
will have done such a great and good
work that all the omissions Of the legis-
lators in the framing of the law will be
forgiven and forgotten.
