Railroad Commr's Report On Accident

naiiFodo Son'mrs Report On Accident
The State Board of Railroad Com
missioners Friday issued the following
special report upon the accident which
occurred on the Rockland, South
Thomaston and st. George Railroad
near Maloney's field in the town of
South Thomaston. on Sept. 3. 1914:
"A serious accident occurred on the
Rockland, South Thomaston and ST.
George Railroad on the forenoon of
Sept 3, 1914, in which one person-Miss
Elsie Coiburn-was killed, and one 9TH
er seriously injured. The road is a
| little more than four miles in length,
extending from the southerly end of
the Rockland, Thomaston and Camden
Street Railway to South Thomaston
and Crescent Beach in the town or
South Thomaston.
The accident occurred on the car
which was due to leave the foot of
Park street at 1920 o'clock in the fore
noon, but the evidence shows in the
testimony that the car actually left at
1925, five minutes behind schedule
time, and was derailed about 1885 A
NJ. at point about 100 feet south of
the trestle bridge at the head of the
bay, so called
"Motorman simmons insists in his
testimony that the car was running
from two to three miles per hour. The
commissioners are inclined to think
that he Is mistaken inasmuch as the
car ran more than rs feet upon the
ties on an up grade of at least one per
cent. with the brakes set. The whole
evidence in the case satisfies the COM
mission that the car was not running
at rapid rate of speed at the time
of the derailment, and from all the
testimony which developed in the in
vestigation 1t was rather difficult to
determine the cause of the accident.
"Trackman Gregory testified that he
was at the scene Of the accident at
about II o'clock and placed the guage
upon the track at the point of the ac-
cidept and found 1t to be A. g., one
half inch, out of guage. He also tes-
titled that the spikes on the outside
were all pushed away where the car
crowded them out.
1T is the opinion Of two of the COM
missioners, all the evidence being con-
sidered, that the accident was caused
by the spreading Of the rails. One of
the commissioners, however, is not In
clined to fully agree, and believes that
the accident was caused by the for
ward right wheel Of the car riding the
rail due to either a low joint in the
track or a sudden lurch or sway in
the car

of being in danger of death we did
not have.
THE phlegma of the Slovac is pos
sibly the result of the circumstances
that he has little feeling. He always
goes as far as his officer goes,-no
further, but he follows his officer
were the goal hell itself. 1t is differ
ent with the Hungarian and the Bos-
MAN, whose officers find it difficult to
hold them back in its firing line. They
always want to break ahead to get at
the enemy.
Flags and drums are useless things
in warfare. What is the use of a flag
which by its bright colors reveals your
position, which as the brown paint on
my sabre shows it has been intended
to conceal? In the one case even the
slightest reflection of light is guarded
against, while in the other a large
field of colors undoes all it has
been wished to accomplish. The drum
mer on the other hand must beat his
drum as he goes to the attack, yet he
is expected to run into the enemy I'M
armed. He would prefer exchanging
his drum for a rifle so that he would
be able to shoot down a soldier.
"One feels nothing of the presence
Of the enemy in battle and on the
marches. To be wounded is also not
such a bad experience. But you begin
to think after the battle. To bear the
horrors of war a sort of ideal is nee
essary Once, when 1 took my Slovacs
into an attack, We passed a cross by
the wayside. Many of them knelt
down for a moment and said prayer.
That was sincere and sublime. The
ideal which makes it possible for me
to bear everything is to be a good
officer on the battle field-under the
circumstances my duty towards the
social aggregate to which I belong"

A NEW BRIDG-
TON-FRYEBURG DE-
TOUR LAID OUT

new 6etour around the State road
work now in progress between Bridg-
ton and Fryeburg was laid out
Wednesday by representatives of the
Maine Automobile Association and the
new route is by long odds the best
that has been used this summer
around the State road construction
between the two points. One of the
best features about it is that for over
tour miles of its length it traverses
a completed section of the new State
highway.
The new route has been signed and
no difficulty should be experienced in
following it, 1t takes the place of the
detour laid out by the association
earlier in the summer, through the
town of Lowell and which has become
completely worn out and almost i'm
passable as a result of the heavy
travel il has been called upon to carry
during the past two months. The new
detour runs to the south of the State
highway, while the original one went
to the north.
Leaving Bridgton, via the new
route, one passes over the Moose pond
bridge. and continues for about three
miles beyond, passing over the new
piece of road which was built two
years ago. Continue almost to the
end OF the latter. Next turn to the
left, going south for about two miles.
The next turn is to the right, going a
distance of about one mile. where
another right hand turn is made at
sign Fryeburg. Follow this latter
stretch of road for about mile and
a half to the completed section Of the
State highway at a point about one
half mile east of the covered bridge
over the Saco river. Here turn left
and follow the new State road into
Tryeburg.

lance of about four miles. About one
half mile east of the covered bridge
over the Saco river or to be more ex-
act, take the first right hand road aft
er going through the bridge. Continue
on this road for about mile and
half to corner. Turn left, follow
back, later turning to the left again
and finally coming back to the regular
State highway near the new piece of
road built two years ago. Turn right
and continue over regular road into
Bridgton. The new detour is a good
country read with the exception OF
about mile which Is somewhat
sandy. One excellent feature Is the
fact that il increases the distance only
about two and a half miles over the
regular route which is very much
less than the other detours previously
laid out.
