ENGINE "WENT CRAZY"
IN LOWELL YARD
Came Out of Roundhouse and Ditched
Another Engine, Then Darted Back
Into Roundhouse and Went
Through the Wall

Lowell Mass, Nov. 20.-Through a
strange freak, which railroad meehan-
ciaps have not been able to explain, Bos
toa & Maine engine No 1889 went on
rampage yesterday, wandered out of
,.he roundhouse. threw another loeomo-
tive from the track and then, changing
It's mind backed into the roundhouse and
right through the brick wall, ending up
on its back in Hale's brook.
Engine 1889 came in from its usual
daily run late Saturday, and was backed
into its stall. and after being cleaned
up and its fire boxes banked for the
night, was left alone. No one, so far as
the railroad authorities have been able
to learn, went near the Mogul from that
moment until darting engineer climbed
over the engine as it lay on its back in
the brook TO shut off the steam.
Only few men were around the
roundhouse on Howard street when the
iron monster, with a sudden tremble and
expulsion of steam, started from its
stall. Passing through the door, the
engine started for the main track, but
a heavy freight locomotive blocked its
path. With one stroke 1889 tossed its
fellow from the path, hesitated, snort
ed few times and then started back
as suddenly as it came. The watching
railroad men expected to see the mon
ster stop in its stall and then wake up,
but it didn't. Instead, it crashed, ten
der first, through the double brick wall
at the rear. The tender dropped off
about twelve feet into the brook, fol-
lowed by the locomotive itself, which
landed on top.
Railroad men who investigated declare
the throttle was set at the neutral point,
which would mean that the engine should
stand still. The only explanation which
they have to offer is that the engine
went crazy"
Superstitious railroad men say the
number of the engine was at fault. No.
1889 comprises a 49," and a multiple
of l3-"39."

THIN ICE FATALITIES.
Two Boys Were Drowned at Adams,
Mass, Yesterday.

Adams, Mass, Nov. 20.-Thin ice
claimed two victims here yesterday, boys
of s and 0 years. A brother of one Of
the two narrowly escaped death when
he sought to effect rescue and his fa-
ther was taken from the water suffer
ing with cramps after he had brought
the third boy ashore and recovered the
two bodies.
Richard Symansizk, aged 8, and Peter
Griffin, aged 8, were the boys drowned.
They, in company with half a dozen
others Of about their own age, were
sliding on the ice at Aliens pond The
ice was 80 thin it sagged beneath them,
but this only added to the excitement.
Symansizk and Griffin we're taking the
turn across the treacherous bender"
when the ice gave way and they dis
appeared from sight in six feet Of wa
ter.
Alfred Symansizk, aged II, who was
In the party, jumped into the water and
attempted to save his brother and friend
but was unable to and was in danger
of drowning himself when someone on
shore threw a piece of planking to him.
None of the watchers, however, made
any attempt to reach the struggling
boys until Gottleib Symansizk, the fa-
ther, arrived and although he could not
swim, he waded into the water without
hesitation. First the father brought
his son, Alfred, ashore Then he picked
up the Griffin boy and carried him to
shore but life was extinct His other
son had disappeared from sight but the
father returned and standing in water
nearly up to his head, worked his feet
around until he found the little body
and brought it to the surface. Before
he could reach shore he was overcome
with cramps and he in turn had to be
dragged from the water.

STRUCK BY BULLET.
John Grace of Fair Haven Lacerated by
a Spent Ball.

Rutland, Nov 2o.-A stray bullet from
a rifle in the hands of some boys who
were shooting at target wounded John
Grace of Fair Haven yesterday The
lead missile had travelled some distance,
and it struck Mr., Grace a glancing blow
ON the chest inlicting a slight flesh
wound, but doing no harm otherwise,
outside of the nervous condition the man
was left in.
The boys we're shooting at target

probable that one Of the bullets either
missed the mark or else glanced Off and
was practically at the end Of its journey
when it struck Mr. Grace.
