4 MASSACHUSETTS, WRECK.
At Least rs Persons Were Killea
ana 30 Injured in = Rear End
Collision Caused by Fog.

Lincoln, Mass. Nov. N.-The most
disastrous railroad wreck in this state
for many years occurred at S:16 o'clock
Sunday night at Bakers Bridge sta
tion, mile and a half west Of Lin
coin, on the main line Of the Fitch-
burg division of the Boston q Maine
railroad. At least 15 persons were
killed outright, burned to death or
sutfocated. and 80 more were serious
ly injured. Many passengers sustained
minor cuts. bruises and burns.
The wreck was primarily due to
thick weather, which apparently OBJ
secured signals set by the forward
train, which at the time of the dis
aster was standing in front Of Bakers
Bridge station. The Montreal train,
drawn by two locomotives and con-
sisting also of nine cars, crashed into
the rear Of the Marlboro branch local,
demolishing the two rear cars.
The leading locomotive telescoped
the rear car Of the Marlboro train and
the second engine forced this mass
against the third car Of the local and
completely wrecked It In these two
cars all but two Of the fatalities oc-
CURED and practically all Of the jnju-
ries. The collision destroyed the for
ward locomotive Of the Montreal
train and the engine following, al
though considerably damaged, did moi
leave the rails. None Of the cars Of
the express was thrown from the
track and the collision apparently
had little effect upon those in them.
Fire added to the horrors. flames
almost Immediately communicating to
the wreckage Of the, passenger coach
es, and a number Of passengers who
had been pinned down by broken
seats were incinerated. Some Of
them, however, had evidently been
killed instantly.

sebastopol Nov. 27.-The long ex-

been ON the verge of revolt for months
has come and Russia's stronghold on
the Black sea is in danger Of falling
completely into their hands.
The situation is very critical. All
the shore equipages, numbering 4,Ooo
men, are In open rebellion. having
driven away or taken their officers
prisoners.
The Euxine feet is standing In the
ofing and is still obeying the orders
of Vice Admiral Chouknin, but the
crews are disaifected and there Is
grave doubt whether they can be re-
strained from joining the mutineers
and greater doubt that they will fre
upon them.
Friday night sailors at the barracks
seized, disarmed and expelled their
officers. They then assembled q great
meeting. Rear Admiral Pisarevsh,
commander of the practice squadron,
supported by a company from the
Brest regiment, went to the meeting
and when 1t refused to disperse Or
dered the troops to Are. Instead OF
shooting the mutineers. however, two
shots rang out and Capt. Stein, Of the
company, fell dead and Rear Admiral
Pisarevsh received q ball In the shoul-
der.
The sailors thus faf have comported
themselves well. The city Is panic
stricken and the inhabitants are fec
ing. This evening the mutineers
stopped the, trains in order to prevent
the arrival of troops from Simferopol
and many persons left on foot and In

Though the mutinous sailors have
not yet submitted, but on the contrary
have received promises of support
from the crews of the battleship Pan

though they are In complete posses

Dougherty has pleaded guilty to Ave Of
the forgery charges against him and
will be taken to the Joliet penitentiary
at once. He appeared before Judge
Worthineton at 1O:45- o'clock Friday
morning, he plead guilty and was given
a sentence Of from one to IA years on
each Of the five counts, the same to be
concurrent.
The prisoner, accompanied by W. T.
Irwin, one Of his attorneys, his son
Ralph and a deputy sheriff left the jail
at 1890 O'Clock. AS he left the build
ing Dougherty said to the jailer; wen,
| guess I'll have to do it."
In the court room there were 2OO
spectators who had heard that the ex-
educator and hnancier would plead
guilty. Attorney Irwin addressed the
court. He said that Dougherty had
turned all of his property over to him
and that he Qrwin) had been given
right of attorney to settle the at
fairs of the prisoner. He added that
Dougherty's property would amount TO
more than the school board defalca-
tons. He admitted that Dougherty had
been careless and he stood willing 70
take his punishment.
Judge Worthington replied as fol-
lows: II find It necessary to send him
to the penitentiary, as the law pro-
vides. It will be a severe punishment.
In count number 200 the sentence VIII

While the court was speaking Dough-
erty looked straight ahead OF him ana
did not move a muscle. He said noth
ing when the sentence was pronounced
and was taken back to jail escorted
by his attorneys
Dougherty's action was as unex-
pected as 1t was astonishing, he hav-
Ing last week pleaded not guilty to the
same charges. But the refusal Oh
Judge Worthington to quash the In
dictments against him and the tac'
that the November grand jury Is now
In session ready to return others that
would be free Of any Of the errors
charged in the first, SO frightened the
coils around the prisoner that PC
could see no way out. He. therefore
threw himself upon the mercy OF the
court, trusting that his old friend
would deal as leniently as possible
with him.
This marks the closing scenes OF the
most astounding school fund robbery
ever brought to public notice For "a
years Newton G. Dougherty, as city
superintendent, and for nearly 20 years
as secretary Of the board, had almost
absolute control Of the school funds.
He issued scrip and handled notes
and checks as II they were his own
property.
AS president Of the Peoria National
bank he was enabled TO cover up his
regulations so well that from June 30,
1904. to June 30, 1905, the school fund
shortage amounted to $4,000.
