few feet of the post Office door. Nor
was that the only spot where good UNI |

The Saturday forenoon trains were
DELAYED by an accident which did not
have so serious results as might have
been expected. When the local down
freight was near Waterman's crossing, |
between Oxford and Mechanic Falls,
both cylinder heads blew out, the con- |
Meeting rods broke, and there was a
grand mix-up. The engineer and fire. |
man Jumped, and landed without injury, |
and the surprising fact is that the train
stopped with every wheel on the rails;
nor was the track torn up so as to inter- |
fere with its use. The stalled train was
between the forenoon passenger trains, |
and near their meeting point, but the
engine of the down passenger was used
TO haul the freight train out OF the way, |
and the trains were hung up for only a
little over an hour.
