Portland Voters Turn Down
Annexation Project
With City Of South Portland By
Majority Of 375 Votes.
Vote is Small and Is No Surprise...Two
Chances Still Remain.

Portland. Me. Dec. 19-The enabling
act, passed by the Legislature two
years ago for the annexation of the
city of South Portland to this city up
on the acceptance of the act by both
cities. was rejected by the voters of
Portland today. South Portland a year
ago voted in favor annexation by a
large majority The total vote cast
today was about one-third of that cast
at the municipal election two weeks
ago.
The result is said to be due to the
fact that the time has not yet arrived
when the annexation of another city
would be beneficial to this municipality,
but that the union of the two is not
likely to be delayed more than four or
five years.
The vote resulted as follows:
Whole number cast, 1905; yes, 1860;
no, 1885; majority opposed, 375. I'm
der the provisions of the act Portland
may vote twice more on the question
but one year must elapse between each
election.

MISPLACED SWITCH.

New York, Dec. 19.-In an extraor-
binary accident, two heavily crowded
passenger trains came together on the
elevated tracks of the New York Cen
trail & Hudson River Railroad tonight
near 10th street, in Harlem. j. w.
Knapp of New Rochelle, N. Y, was
killed and 40 persons were more or
less seriously injured.
Both of the colliding trains were
north-bound and had left the Grand
Central station at 42d street within a
few minutes of each other. One was
a Stamford local on the New York,
New Haven & Hartford Railroad. The
other train was the POughkeepsie ex-
press of the Central. Rushing along
ON parallel tracks, the two trains sud-
denly came together. The local had
been switched from the third track
! onto the fourth and in an instant the
engine of the express had crashed in
to the day coach following the smok-
| ing car of the local.
| The tracks at the point where the
collision occurred are about 80 feet in
the air. This made the work of res
Tie difficult and hazardous and lent
materially to the terror of the passen-
gers, most Of whom were commuters
and residents of nearby points in
Connecticut and New York state. who
had come to the city on holiday shop
ping tours. Fire apparatus from sew
eral stations was summoned and many
persons were rescued by means of the
ladders placed against the structure.
Serious injuries befell most of those
in the car demolished by the Pough-
keepsie express.
John d. Hort, engineer of the express.
was arrested tonight on the technical
charge of manslaughter and later was
released on bail.
No one on the Poughkeepsie train. SO
far as can be learned. was hurt.
The trains left Grand Central station
about $50 O'Clock just at the height OF
the suburban rush hour.
The following victims Of the acci-
dent were taken to Harlem hospital:
Emmett A. Scott, 10, New Rochelle:
dangerously hurt.

Edward Kleist, So, New Rochelle; Sc

David A. Lesperance, Port Chester.

Five others were taken to the hos
pital and treated and then allowed to
go home without having their names
recorded.

found to be impossible. However, the
day was pleasantly passed in looking
over the various buildings and the farm
property. Many of them were interest

in Dexter. 1t was found impossible to
make the arrangements as one Of the
towns would not agree to the terms
