Massachusetts, Worst Train Disaster
in Many Years Occurs When Sun
day Night Express From Boston
on Boston & Maine Crashes Into
Rear of Local.

Lincoln, Mass, Specialize most
disastrous railroad wreck in this State
for many years occurred at SIS
O'Clock Sunday night at Kaker' s
Bridge station, mile and a hal. 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 Via the Rutland
system, crashed into the rear Of To-
cal train which started from Boston
at 7.l5 for points on the main line
and Che Marlboro branch.
At least Is persons were killed out
right burned to death or suffocated,
and 30 or more were seriously injured
Many passengers sustained minorcuts,
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 Bak-

train, drawn by two locomotives and
consisting also Of nine cars crashed
into the rear Of the Marlboro branch
local, demolishing the two rear ears.
All Of the passengers killed and
seriously injured were in these. The
passengers lived in Concord, West Ac-
ton, Maynard, Hudson, Marlboro and
several smaller towns in the Asabet
Valley. None Of the passengers on
the Montreal train were seriously hurt
but the engineer and fireman Of the
leading locomotive were killed.
The wreckaee caught fire and some
of the passengers were incarcerated.
Few persons live in the vicinity of
Bakers Bridge station and no fire de-
partment was available, so that the
flames practically burned themselves
out. Jninjured passengers and an UNI
Der Of train hands, assisted by villag-
ers. went to the aid Of the injured
and many persons were rescued.
A special train with doctors was
sent from Boston at 9.35 O'Clock. and
reached here in half an hour. Many
doctors from Waltham and other
places in this section we're sent to the
scene in carriage and by other trains.

Dethrs,ninC of Alcohol.

Another potent f;cicr in the detliror-
mg Of alcohol has been the spirit of
scientific research of recent years. In
the great labora tories scientists have
been carefully studying TIE effects OF
alcoholic liquors upon the various or
gans of the body, and. although they
differ in The ir conclusions upon some
points. the result is that those phvSi-
clans who have most closely followed
these investigations have. almost OK

sary part Of their therapeutic outfit
These elaborate studies of alcohol have
convinced many that the nourishing
and strengthening properties formerly
ascribed to alcoholics existed only in
the ina ginatiOn. and belong to sIle er-
rors of an age which had no facilities
for accurate observation. The food
