DEADLY TRAIN WRECK.
Sixteen People Meet Horrible Death
in Friehtful Collision on Boston
and Maine Railroad.

The most disastrous railroad wreck
in Massachusetts for many years oc.
Cured at SIS o'clock Sunday night
at Bakers Bridge Station, a mile and
half west of Lincoln, on the main
line of the Fitchburg 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 a local train.
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 and
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 were 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
uninjred passengers and 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 to the scene
in carriages.
The Montreal train does not stop
st 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 brakeman was sent to
place a fuse of red fire torch some
distance in the rear, as the night was
unusually dark, partly owing to 4
dense mist, which came up the Sud.
bury river. The torch had not been
set a minute before the roar of a
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
ision.

aKRYDLOFF rs SAFE
Admiral Avoided Capture by Japs by
Staying at Home,

st. Petersburg, May 31.-1:so Pm
The admiralty denies the report tele-
graphed to the London Daily Express
that the cruiser Gromoboi of the Vladi-
vostok squadron had been sunk with
nearly eight hundred men on board A
message was received from Captain
Broussikoff, her commander, last night
which, it was believed, was sent by
wireless telegraphy to Vladivostok.
- Vice Admiral Skrydloff, who was re-
ported to be on board the Gromoboi, is
in st. Petersburg.
The Gromoboi sailed out of Vladivo-
stok Saturday as soon as Admiral Ro-
jestvensky was reported to have ar
rived in the straits of Korea, but the
admiralty declines to say whether the
Gromoboi was engaged.
The admiralty had no further news
to communicate this morning. A report
of the battle, however, has been re-
ceived from the captain of the Russian
transport Korea, now at Woosung, and
it is also understood that the emperor
has received a communication from
Japan, possibly from Rear Admiral Ne
bogatof or Admiral Rojestvensky.

GENERAL BATTLE is

New York Sun Special Service.

New York Sun Special Service.
st. Petersburg, May 31.-Dis-
patches from Manchurla say that
Field Marshal Oyama is already
In motion and that a general battle
is at hand.
General Linevitch is ready to
give battle at once. He has near
" 100000 men, including the
fourth and tenth army corps,
which have arrived at the front
since the battle of Mukden. He
has received hundreds Of field
guns to replace those abandoned IN
tho retreat from Tie pass.
The army intelligence depart
ment admits that Oyama has fully
! 100000 men. He is known to have
received $4,000 reinf since
the battle of Mukden.
For three weeks the Japanese
| have been working troops around
| to the eastward for the purpose of
turning the Russian left; but the
general staff expects the real force
Of Oyama's attack west of the rail-
road. It Is believed Oyama will
| send Nogi in swinging march
| around the Russian left in an effort
| to get agtride the railroad as far
| west as Tsitsihar, thus isolating the
| whole Russian army. -r.....

Waters Alive With Men.

merchantmen and pleasure ships went
out to pick up all the survivors they
could find. They rescued several hun
dred men, many wounded, and all in a
state of extreme exhaustion.
The boats in which they sought re-
fuge when their ships went down were
not provisioned, so that the terrors Of
the heavy seas were added to by pangs
Of hunger and thirst.
The survivors state they had abso-
lutely no chance Of winning. The at
tack Of the Japanese was SO sudden and
SO complete, and the plan Of attack SO
different from what was expected that
the entire fleet became panic stricken.
The long-range fire of the enemy was so
deadly, that there was no chance of re-
plying, because tbesEs japanese had chosen
their own range, which mo Russian ship
could equal.
Torpedoboat Attack.
Then came the torpedoboat attack,
which completed the Generalization.
They say the crews took toathe boats il
most cases before the 3 torpedoes had
gone home, and those who remained on
board their vessels were precipitated
into the water by the explosions that
followed. Many saved themselves by
clinging to pieces Of wreckage.
There are endless accounts Of individ.
ual heroism, but none more thrilling
than thta of a young sailor who gave UP
his place on a piece of plank in order
that he might save the life Of lieu
tenant of the Alexander III, who had
been popular officer with his crew, anc
who was i'll at the time Of the attack
The sailor was afterwards rescued by {
passing boat, but later died from expo
Isure, as did SO many Of his comrades.
