SIXTEEN DIE HORRIBLY.
Passengers Mangled and Cremated in
Smashup Of Trains on Road in
Massachusetts,.

MASSACHUSETTS,
The most disastrous railroad wreck
in Massachusetts for many years Oc
Cured at SIS o'clock Sunday night
at Bakers Bridge Station, mile and
a half west Of Lincoln, on the main
line of the F4tchburg division Of the
Boston and Maine railroad.
The regular Sunday night express,
which left Boston at 7:45 o'clock for
Montreal, via the Rutland system,
crashed into the rear OF local trains
which started from Boston at 7:15
for points on the main line and the
Marlboro branch Sixteen persons
were killed outright burned to death
or suffocated, and thirty or more were
seriously injured. Many passengers
sustained minor cuts, bruises ana
burns.
The wreck was primarily due to
thick weather, which apparently OBJ
scured signals set by the forward
train, which at the time of the dis
aster was standing in front of the
Bakers Bridge Station The Montreal
train, drawn by two locomotives and
consisting of nine cars, crashed into
the rear of the Barlboro branch, local,
demolishing the two rear cars. All
the passengers killed and seriously
injured we're in these. The passen.
gers lived in Concord West Acton.
Maynard, Hudson, Marlboro and sew
eral smaller towns in the Assabet
valley. None Of the passengers on the
Montreal train were seriously hurt,
but the engineer and fireman of the
leading locomotive were killed. The
wreckage caught fire and some OF
the passengers were incinerated Few
persons live in the vicinity of Bakers
Bridge Station, and no fire depart
ment was available, and so the flames
practically burned themselves out. The
uninjured passengers and a number OF
train hands, assisted by villagers, went
to the aid of the injured, and many
persons were rescued. A special train,
sent from Boston, carried number
of doctors to the scene, while many
doctors from Waltham and other near
by places were sent tor the scene
in carriages.
The Montreal train does not stop
at small station. Owing to heavy
traffic the Marlboro branch was be-
hind time when it reached Bakers
Bridge Sunday night. According to
the statement of persons who were
at the depot a brakeman was sent to
place q fuse of red fire torch some
distance in the rear, as the night was
unusually dark, partly owing to
dense mist, which came up the Sud
| bury river. The torch had not been
set a minute before the roar of
heavy train around the curve a short
distance east of the depot was heard.
It was necessary to lay injured per-
sons side by side with the bodies Of
the dead until every effort possible
had been made to rescue other vic
TINS, Thirteen of the dead were sent
to Boston on the special train, to-
gether with fourteen Of the most Sc
riously injured, of whom it was fear
ed. three would die in a short time.
The majority of those injured were
women.
The officials of the Boston and
Maine railroad will make an exhaust
i've inquiry into the cause of the col
lision.

Five Banks in One Day.

Secretary of state Philip Cook broke
another record last Saturday when he
granted chartersato five banks. The
largest number heretofore chartered
in one day was three. The charters
granted make a total of seventy-two
chartered since January l, last, while
several applications are on file for
charters to be granted as soon as the
advertisements have run the requi.
site length Of time. There is no
doubt the total number for the year
will run more than double last years
record. which was thirty-nine. 1t is
probable the total capitalization of
the new banks chartered this year
will reach 100000. The five new
banks each have a capital stock Of
$4,000, except in one case where it
is $4,000.
