some peculiar wounds. One ball en-

came back on train No. 102 and
brought the information to the family
that no wedding had taken place.

Mail Clerk EdgerIy Of Bangor
Is Severely injured.
About Fifty Passengers Escape
With JoIting and a Scare.
Roadbed Badly Cut Up-Cause Of
the Accident Unknown.

Winthrop Me-. June S.-The New
which left Portland at Ills A. NJ, was
wrecked this afternoon an eighth of a
mile east of Annabessacook station
and five miles from here. Although
travelling at the usual express speed
and six cars left the rails. there was
but one injury. Walter c. Edgerly of
Bangor. mail clerk. received injuries
to his head and back. Another mail
clerk was hurt about the knee. but it
was nothing of consequence. The so
passengers We're well Jared and
frightened and considered themselves
very fortunate to escape without harm.
The cause of the accident was un-
certain, trainmen al first being unable
to agree on how 1t occurred. 1t took
place near a block signal. The only
indications of the cause were where
the first trucks struck the ties and ran
along 500 feet before the wreck took
place. Most of the ties were broken
in the middle. Some thought it was
due to spreading of the rails. while
others believed some mechanical defect
in the engine displaced the rails. En-
gineer Jenkins held the throttle. while
the train was in charge of Conductor
George Plaisted of Portland.
Mail Clerk Edgerly complained par
ticularly of his back. Only a super
fetal examination was made at the
scene of the wreck. and he was taken
to Waterville on the first train. The
mail car partly tipped and threw him
with much force.
The baggage. express and mail cars
and three coaches left the rails. The
engine, Pullman. dining ear and one
coach remained on the tracks. The
express and mail cars were the worst
off. the mail car being suspended over
a f0-foot embankment and held only
by the express car and a coach.
A wrecking train was dispatched
from Waterville and the work of clear
ing away the ears was commenced
about o'clock. 1t was hardly expect
ed the track would be re-opened for
traffic before tomorrow. Meanwhile

will be transferred around the wreck.
