Bad Accident at Carmel

To the failure of an operator at
Northern Maine Junction is ascribed
the wreck which took place at Carmel
Wednesday night when a regular and
an extra freight train, both running
high speed, crashed into each other
head on, killing the fireman of one of
the trains and injuring five other en-
ployes of the Maine Central Railroad.
A. Roy, the operator through whose
alleged negligence the smashup is
said to have occurred, reported to
the officials at Water ville Friday.
He is badly wrought up over the
terrible accident. He is young man
and has been employed at Northern
Maine junction about six weeks.
When train 36 left Bangor about on
its schedule time Wednesday night
it had orders to cross the extra freight
at Etna. A supplementary order was
issued from the office of the train dis
patcher for the trains to cross at
Hermon Pond instead of at Etna
This order was to have been delivered
to those in charge of train 36 at
Northern Maine Junction, but was not
This failure caused the wreck, al
though an effort was made to inter
cept both of the trains as soon as it
was learned in the office of the dis
patcher that train SO had not received
the later order.
1t was known for some time before
the crash was reported that an acct
dent would occur and all that could
be done to prepare for it was done
There was no means by which it could
be prevented after 36 got away from
the junction. The dispatcher in Ban
gor notified the hospital, summoned a
force of physicians and made up a re-
lief train, which was held ready to
send to the scene of the accident as
soon as the location of the collision
was reported.
The body of Harry Simonds of
Waterville, fireman of train 36, was
found shortly after O'Clock Thursday
morning, mangled beyond recognition
in the wreckage of his engine. 81
monds was reported Wednesday night,
as missing. The injured, all but one
of whom were taken to the Eastern
Maine hospital at Bangor, are report
ed as doing well.
Harry Simonds, the fireman who
was killed was well known in this
town. Up to the change in time last
October he was fireman on the Water
vile afternoon passenger. He was a
native of Norridgewock, the son of
George Simonds.
