FATAL ACCIDENT ON
 HILL IN CORNWA ALL
Two Dead and One Other Re ported in Dying
 Condition

Two persons are dead, one is dy- ing and ten or fifteen others are sui fering with more or less serious ln- iuries as the result of an accident on Cemetery Hill, Cornwall, late Satur- day night. A truck on which they were riding, skidded and overturned.
 The dead are: Miss Mary J. Morris, 23. of Waterville, who suffered compound fracture at the base of the skull; and Maurice Whalen, 60, also of Waterville, whose chest was crushed. Both died at the Charlotte Hungerford hospital, Torrington, to which institution they were brought Sunday morning.
 Mrs. Anna Morris, mother of Miss Morris, is at the Charlotte Hunger ford hospital in an extremely critical condition suffering with possible fracture of the skull and severe con- cussion of the brain. It IS feared that she will not recover.
 Mrs. Margaret Coffey, also of Wat erville, is at the hospital but her condition is not quite so serious. She is suffering with injuries to her back and numerous bruises. She probably will recover, according to the attend ing physician.
 The other members of the party were less seriously injured and were cared for at houses in the vicinity of where the accident occurred.
 There were about 20 persons rid ing on the truck. They were on their way to spend the weekend at the home of a friend in Cornwall and were almost at their destination when the accident occurred. The truck, it is said, skidded, swung half way around and then upset.
 Dr. Martin of Cornwall was the first physician to be summoned and he saw at once that four of the in jured were in serious condition. Word was sent to the Charlotte Hun gerford hospital and the four were taken there in Lyons automobile ambulance.
 Miss Morris died shortly before II o'clock Sunday morning without re- gaining consciousness; and MT. Wha- len died during the night. sss@ Miss Morris, 1t IS said, was to nave been married shortly. Her fiance was in the party going to Cornwall but because of a severe cold he rode in a closed car with the girls father in stead of on the truck, and was only a short distance behind the truck when the accident occurred.
 MT. Whalen, who died during the night, was a we'll known resident of Waterville. He leaves his wife and several other relatives.
 Mrs. Morris has been unconscious since the accident and her condition was reported as exceedingly grave.
 Among the others who were injured so badly that they required physicians attention were Mrs. James McArdle, Mrs. Joseph Nc Ardle, Mrs. Francis Whelan, Mrs. Annie Whalen, Francis Whelan, John Whelan, and Thomas Buckley, all of Waterville.
 The bodies of Miss Morris and Mr Whelan were removed to Water vile.
