A fearful head-on collision

miles north of Canaan station early
| yesterday, due to a mistake In the
train dispatcher's orders, and from a
demolished passenger coach there
were taken out twenty-five dead and
| dying and twenty-seven other passen-
gers, most of them seriously injured.
Orders Are Confused.
The conductor of the freight train
| was given to understand that he had
| plenty of time to reach a siding by the
| night operator at Canaan station, re-
ceiving, according to the superintend-
ent of the division, a copy OF a tele-
graph order from the train dispatcher
al Concord which confused the train
numbers 30 and "a.
The wreck occurred just after the
express had rounded into a straight
stretch of track. but owing to the early
morning mist neither engineer saw
the others headlight until too late.
Coach Is Torn Asunder.
Both engineers set their brakes and
then jumped. while the two great loco
motives crashed into each other and,
locked in a firm embrace, rolled into
the ditch.
The baggage car in the rear was
hurled back into the passenger coach
like a great ram and tore 1t asunder
from end to end Fortunately. with
the engines off to one side, the wreck
age did not take fire and add further
sorrow to the already dreadful scene.
The train hands. ably seconded by the
passengers from the sleeping cars,
CROPPED their way among the ruins and
began the work of rescue.
Mangled Bodies Dragged Out.
Great beams were lifted, broken
toists were thrown aside and the
bleeding and mangled forms were
dragged out. Wounds were hastily
bound up and cuts stanched by strips
OF bedding from the sleepers.
The neighborhood is a sparsely set
tied one, but the few farmers were
aroused and lent every aid to the work

Several thousand persons were en-

points of the city, and especially large
was the crowd in the Place st. Am

Erberdfng, the victim OF Soletllant.
The rage of the women of this dis
