Lincoln, .Mass., Nov. 27.—The most risastrous railroad wreck in this state for many years occurred at Bakers Bridge station, a mile and a half west cf Lincoln, on the main line of the Fitchburg division of the Boston and Maine railroad. The regular Sunday night express, which left Boston at 7:45 o’clock for Montreal, via the Rutland system, crashed into the rear of a local train, which started from Boston at 7:15 for points on the main line and tihe Marl- tooro brandh. The early morning lists the dead and injured Indicate that nineteen per. sons lost their lives in the rear-end collision. Twenty-five persons were more or less seriously injured and others sustained cuts and bruises. The trades were not entirely clear of wreckage until today, and the east- bound track was freed of debris during the night, and a number of trains were transferred around the wreckage early In the day. The Montreal expresse wihidh left Boston at 7:45 last night and crashed into the Marlborough branch accommo dation train, resumed its journey to the Canadian city about 8 o’clock in fihe morning. The following is a revised list of the List of the Dead. dead: May Campbell, of Maynard, Mass. William Walsh, of Maynard, Mass. Charles Wetherbee, of Acton, Mass. Donor Gauthier, of Boston, Maes., a brakeman of the accommodation train. Charles E. Barnard, of Charlestown. (Mass., fireman of the express. Annie Hartwell, 21 years old, of Lit tleton. Anna Htllbrldge, 5 years old, of Ac ton. Mary Mosweeny, of Concord, Mass. Joseph Karlson, of Maynard, Maas. Joseph Baris, of Maynard, Mass. Baris, throe years old, son of A. B. Baris. B. Tydeprius, aged 50 years, resi dence unknown. Five unidentified dead. The most seriously Injured, al of whom were taken to the Massachu setts general hospital in Boston. Statement of Witnesses. Those who wore witnesses of the col. 11 si on said the local train which con sisted of fiur oars, three of them pas senger coaches, had Just pulled out of Baker Bridge d/eqjot, a small flag station about a mile and a half west of Lin coln station. Just went of the flag station Is a highway bridge over tb railroad. The train had entered a deep cut after passing under the bridge and the rear oar had just cleared the structure when the heavy Montreal express, consisting of nine cars and two locomotives, crashed in the rear. The impact wa« terrific, and proba bly a majority of those killed met weath almost Instantly. The fofward loeoraotive telescoped the rear car and passed part of the way through thf coach immediately at the head. The second oar of the local train was also badly damaged, hut the first oar and locomotive escaped. The leading engine of the express was practically destroyed In the col lision, and the wortc was completed when fire, which immediately broke tnr among the heaps of wreckage, consum. ed all the woodwork of the two rt cars, which remalnd on the roadbed and incinerated a number of the vic- timms. The fireman of the leading locomo tive, Oharles E. Barnard, was burned to death in his cab, but Engineer Con nors managed to escape In some strange manner. He was found under a tree nearby. His injuries were not regarded ag serious. The second locomotive of the ex press was badly damaged. The engi neer and firemen of this engine es caped injury and no persons in t> coaches of the Montreal train was in jured. All the cars remained on the rails. When the accident occurred the locrfi train was said to have been a few mln- late, and knowing that the ex- pres* was close behind, it Is claimed that the rear brakeman, Donor Gau thier. who was killed, set out red torches, indicating danger. When the express train was at Lincoln statifn, •bout a mile and a half east of the scene of the wreck, the Montreal train was running at Its usual rate of upped, esttmted all the way from 35 to 50 miles an hour. ft Is said that a sig ns 1 calling for caution was set against the express at Tdncoln station. The theory of railroad men today Is that smoke from the engine of the local as it paseed under Baker big way bridge obscured Foe red lights in the roar. From the bridge all the way hack to Lincoln station the track is straight. The night wat dark, and at time* dur ing the evsiring a mist hung over the tracks. McCurdy resigns presidency.
