Lincoln, Mass, Nov. 27-The most
disastrous railroad wreck in this state
for many years has occurred at Ba-
ker's Bridge station, mile and n half
west of Lincoln, on the main line of
the Fitchburg division of the Boston
and Maine railroad. The regular Sun
day night express, which left Boston
ut 7:45 p. m. for Montreal, via the Rut-
land system, crashed into the rear Of
local train which started from Bos-
ton at T:15 p. m. for points on the
main line and the Marlboro branch.
AT least eighteen persons We're killed
outright, burned to death or suffocated,
and thirty or more We're seriously in
jured. Many passengers sustained
minor cuts, bruises and burns.
Due to the Weather.
The wreck was primarily due to
thick weather, which apparently OBJ
scured signals set by the forward
train, which ut the time of the disas-
ter was standing in front of Bakers
Bridge station. The Montreal train
drawn by two locomotives and con
sisting Of nine cars, crashed into
the rear of the Marlboro branch local

the passengers killed and seriously in.
iured We're in these. The passengers
lived in Concord, West Acton, May.

smaller towns in the Assabet valley
None of the passengers on the Mon
treal train was seriously hurt, but the
engineer and fireman of the leading 10
connective We're killed.
Fire Adds to the Horror.
The wreckage caught fire. and some
of the passengers We're incinerated

No Change In Maryland.

Baltimore, November Slater returns dissipate much of the doubt as to the result of yesterdays election in this city and state. With a few precincts of the usually democratic counties yet to hear from. the defeat of the proposed suffrage restriction amendment to the state con stitution by 2S,OOO to 29OOO is indicated
 Atkinson, democrat, is conceded the state controllership, and his majority will probably run over 650O. That the lower house of the state legislature will be democratic is conceded by republican sources of information. It will probably be made up of fifty-three democrats, three independent democrats and forty-five re- publicans. The state Senate stands eighteen democrats and eight republicans The democrats will therefore elect the state treasurer and board of public works will be democratic.

VIII Contest In Louisville.

Louisville, Ky, November 8.-The man. agers of the fusion party met this eve- ming and announced that they had decid- ed to contest in the courts the elect of the Democratic ticket for municipal offices, and members of the legislature.
 It is alleged that in IA precincts no cleo ton was held at all, owing to the dsap- pearance of the election paraphernala; that in IA additional precincts the ballot boxes were confiscated by Democratic workers before the returns were certified to, thus allowing the results to be falsi- fed and finally that in a large number of other precincts gangs of armed thugs and repeaters abetted in some instances by the police, cast many fraudulent ballots besides preventing lawful voters from voting

upon the results of yesterdays elections in Maryland, Secretary Bonaparte today. said:
 Two results seem to be assured, name ly: That the Poe amendment is defeated by a decisive majority, and the Repub- lcans have elected enough members of the next general assembly to prevent the passage of any new election laws over the governors veto. and the submission to the voters of any new amendments to the constitution. It may be that we have accomplished more than this, and I hope we have, but If we have only one so much it is enough to repay all of us for the time, trouble and labor involved in doing it."
