Passenger Train Crashed Into Ac.
commodation Train-More Than 80
People Injured-SisnaIs Could Not
Be Seen-Wreck Took Fire.

Lincoln, Mass, 27.-Eighteen per-
sons were killed, 30 or more were seri-
ously injured, and probably score OF
others cut and bruised in the most dis.
astrous railroad wreck recorded in this
state for many years. The wreck
occurred at SIS O'Clock at Bakers
Bridge station, mile and half west
of Lincoln, on the main line of the
Fitchburg division Of the Boston &
Maine railroad. The regular Sunday
express which left Boston at 7:45
o'clock for Montreal by way Of the
Rutland system, crashed into the rear
end of an accommodation train bound
for points on the Marlborough branch,
and which started from Boston at 7:15.
OF the dead, a dozen we're passen-
gers in the two rear cars of the MARI
borough train. The other two were
Engineer Barnard, of the Montreal ex-
press, and his fireman. No passengers
on the express train were injured. OF
those who lost their lives, numDer
were apparently instantly killed in the
collision. while others were either
burned to death or died from suffoca-
ton.
There were 10 persons taken from
the wreck and three died after being
removed. Three Of the bodies were
headless. Two skulls we're found at 2
a. M; and 20 minutes later a map's
head with full beard was picked up.
1t Is difficult to fix the exact number
of those who persisted, but it is thought
it will not exceed Is.
The Dead.
A partial list of the dead is as fol-
lows:
Eugene Barnard, engineer Of the
Montreal train.
Lyons, fireman of the Mon.
treal train.
Anna Hilbridge, aged years. Acton.

William ]. Barris, Maynard.
Three year old child of Mr.. Barris.

thick weather, which apparently OBJ
scured signals.

THE ISTHMIAN Canal.
ENGINEERS ESTIMATE TIE COST
At $23O,OOO,OOO.
Boards Of Consulting Engineers Do.
clare for Sea Level Canai-It Means
Some Delay-il me Required to Fin.
ish Ditch at Panama Will Be More
Than Ten Years.

Washington.-The board of consult
ing engineers Of the isthmian canal
commission has declared itself by a
large majority in favor of a sea level
canal. The conclusion was reached
after long and careful study Of the
projects. SO i ''-f -
Since the beginning of September
me board had held meetings and in
special subcommittee had studied the
plans for a sea level canal with the
greatest care. ,. 81,
A trip to Panama was made to
enable the members to form a better
idea of the physical difficulties which
had to be considered. The members
of the board are men of the greatest
reputation in their line of work. Ger
many, France and Holland had sent
their most eminent specialists at the
request of this government. At the
beginning it was evident that major
lty of these members were in favor
Of a sea level canal. Their point of
view was that even ii it cost more
than a lock canal, and would take
longer in the building, it would ulti.
mately be Of greater use, as it will
enable ships to make much quicker
trip than If they were obliged to go
through three or four locks. ... -
On the other hand was a minority
which wanted to see the canal built
in as short a time as possible and
with the least cost, declaring that q
few hours longer for the trip through
the isthmus made little or no differ.
ence.
No official statement will be given
out before the decision reaches Presi
dent Roosevelt, ABOUT January.
Will Cost s2so,ooo, 900.
The cost Of the sea level canal at
Panama is estimated by the board
of consulting engineers at about $3.50,
100000. Although this amount seems
much larger than the amount neces
sary with the construction of a lock
canal, it is claimed by the advocates
of the sea level plan to be In reality
only comparatively slightly higher. II
was pointed out in the meetings Of
the board that the lock canal would
necessitate between $30,OOO,000 and
$4O.OOO,O0O payment for the private
grounds and the lands belonging tc
the republic of Panama which would
be inundated by the lock system. This
item, in view of the majority of the
board, is entirely done away with by
the adoption Of the sea level canal.

The tronbleseme poll tax ques-
tion will never be settled until
some system Of listing the poll tax
payers is devised. The present
system Of leaving it entirely to the
street commissioner is loose and
Ineffective Let the assessor Of
the city clerk make a complete list
Of all who are liable to poll tax.
There are at least seven or eight
hundred people in Chickasha who
are subject to the tax. If collect
ions were made from al these, ii
would give the city from $4,000 to
$500 for street work. This amount
properly expended, would make a
vast Improvement Oh our streets.

There is no reason OH earth why
the destines of Oklahoma and In
dian Territory should be tangled
up with those Of New Mexico and
Arizona. The only explanation
that can be given is the desire Of
eastern senators TO prevent any
sor of legislation which will give
the West greater representation in
congress. Eastern senator's know
that single statehood is thoroughly
distasteful to New Mexico and
Arizona aid they pretend to be
great friends 81 those territories
while in reality they are simply
trying to block all statehood legis-
lation. The only logical course for
congress 10 pursue, if it wants to do
justice, IS to divorce the two propo-
sitions in the Hamilton bill. Con
ditions ia the western territories
are entirely different from those
here. No one has ever shown
single reason why Oklahoma and
Indian Territory should not be adj
I:itied 10 statehood.
