went on shooting expedition on the
right bank of the Chart river, not far
from Cages rapids. He had wounded
a rhinoceros and was about to finish
the ANNA lwhen his rifle burst He
seized another gun from the native
and fired. At this moment a buffalo

THREE KILLED IN WRECK
Man Who Witnessed Railroad Acct
dent Dropped Dead.

Boston, Aug. 9.-Engineer VIM. j.
Tirrell, Jr., of South Braintree and
Fireman Frank Campbell of Cohasset
and a passenger, Mrs Frank jenkins
of Atlantic were killed, a spectator,
Michael Daley of dorchester droyyed
dead and or more passengers were
injured just before noon yesterday
by the derailing of Boston bound
train on the Plymouth division of the
New York New Haven and Hartford
railroad in Dorchester.
The train, made up of locomotive,
three passenger coaches and a bag
gage car, was rushing along at 35
miles an hour through Dorchester
and had reached a sharp curve OPP
posite the Crescentavenue station.
when the locomotive jumped the rails
Two of the passenger cars followed
the engine off the rails and bumped
over the sleepers for 100 feet or
more. The locomotive then plunged
off into the marsh land and half
buried itself. The momentum of the
train carried two of the passenger
cars over the engine. the projection
of which ripped open the sides of the
cars and tore out the seats along one
side. The third passenger car and
baggage car remained on the rails.
The bodies of the engineer and fire
man were found buried deep in the
debris about the engine, badly mang-
led. A fire had started in a passen-
ger car directly over the submerged
locomotive, but was quickly exiting
uished by firemen. One woman, Mrs.
Jenkins, was scalded by steam so Sc
verely that she died after her remov-
al to Grace hospital. Four other pas
sengers are in a serious condition,
but are expected to recover. Railroad
officials declined last night to ex-
press any opinion as to the cause of
the accident, saying only that an in
vestigation is being made One the
ory advanced was that the track had
settled over the marshy land. and an
other was that a spike or other OBJ
struction had been placed on the rail.
The damage to the railroad property
is estimated at $4,000.
Michael Daley of Dorchester, the
spectator, was stricken with heart
failure while watching the workmen
clear away the debris and died soon
afterward.
