TBOBABLT 9 JiEAD AND 37 WOCXDrD
Bostok, Sept 11. The horror of the
preat Qulncy accident was recalled in last
night's collision on the Fitchburg Ballroad
at West Cambridge Junction. The collision
telescoped the rear car, killing six persons
outright and injuring nearly 40 others, three
of whom are reported to have since died.
By 10 o'clock this morning all visible bodies
bad been removed irom the wreck.
When the engine struck the rear car it
entered it like a wedge, splitting it in two
pans, each of which fell outward upon the
track, while the roof of the car lodged on
the locomotive. The reioil from the col
lision drove the heavily loaded freight
cars backward, and, although the two cars
nearest the engine, which were a refrigera
tor car and a Burton stock car, were not in
jured, the 10 or 12 cars behind them were
smashed into kindling wood. Several of
these were loaded with lumber and this was
strewn all along the track. The cars were
piled upon one another in undiscribable con
fusion. No Possible Etcaps in Ttint Car.
The pilot and cylinder boxes of the
freight engine were poked underneath the
forward truck of the rear passenger car,
which made it almost impossible for any
human being to escape without injury who
occupied seats in that car. On the rear end
of the ill-fated car a man's legs were dan
gling, the trunk being found a quarter of a
mile down the track.
The rear brakeman of the passenger train,
who shortly after the accident was sent
back about COO feet to notify the engineer of
the freight train of danger ahead, states
that he went back as directed and
signalled the freight train and that
his signal was answered by two
whistles, whicli is the usual answer that all
signals have been seen and noted. The
reason for the collision, be leels sure, was
that the engineer of the freight train could
not control his train, which was of 30 cars,
all very heavy. Engineer Goodman, of the
freight train, says he saw no signal nor
flagman on the track whatever.
A Tanlo In tils Other Coach rs.
The passenger cars, other than the rear
one, were not very much injured, but the
chock to their occupants was only a little
less severe than that sustained bythose in
the last car. As soon as the crash came
there was at once a "wild rush to get out ot
the cars. Frantic men and women rushed
about in a purposeless way, shrieking and
groaning.
But soon another source of danger devel
oped, flames began to burst from the
wrecked freight cars. After the fire was
under control ttie work of rescuing the dead
. and injured was begun. The windows of
the rear car had to be broken in and a por
tion of the side cut through in ordr t0

If you can appreciate the difference between buying in small quan
tities from the New York importers and buying in large quantities direct
from the European mills, then you will readily understand why we pay
less for our cloths than any other merchant tailor in town. That
the advantage thus gained by us invariably turns to our cus
tomers' benefit you can readily convince yourself of by comparing
our prices with those of other FIRST-CLASS tailors. We
empha'size first-class, because we want it understood that that's the
only class of tailors we come in competition with. We don't rec
ognize the Cheap Johns of the trade, whose garments cannot even
compare with our medium grades of ready-made clothing. Now,
then,if you wantthe best only, and the best at the lowest
price, here's our schedule: ;
First-class Suits to order $30; $35, $40 and $45. First-Class Pants
to order $8, Sio, JS12 and $15.
