A fearfully fatal head-on collision
between the Routhbound Quebec ex
press and a northbound freight train
en the Concord division of the Bos
ton & Maine railroad occurred four
miles north of Canaan station early
Sunday, due to a mistake In train dis
patchers' orders, and from a demol
ished passenger coach there were tak
en 15 deid and dying and 27 other
passengers more or less wounded.
Nearly nil those who were In the fa
tal car were returning from a fair at
SherbrooUe. Quebec. ICO mlleB north.
The conductor of the freight train
waa given to understand that he had
nlcnty of time to reach a siding by the
night operator at Canaan station re
ceiving, according to the superintend
ent of the division, a cony of a tele
graph order from the train dispatcher
at Concord, which confused the train
numbers HO and 34.
The southbound train originated at
Sherbrooke Saturday evening, where
it picked up two sleepers from Quebec
inrt two more on the way down. It
consisted of the baggage car, passen
ger coach and smoking car in tnat or
der with the sleepers In the rear. The
train left White River junction at
n-tr, a. m. Sunday. 40 minutes late,
r.nd was followed 2b minutes later by
the Montreal express over the Central
Vermont railroad. The Quebec train
la known as number 30, and the Mont
real train as No. 54.
In the meantime a northbound
freight train had arrived at Canaan,
18 miles down the road, at 4:20 a. m
on time.
According to Superintendent W. R.
n.nv .T. A. Crowley, the night dispatch
er at Concord, sent a dispatch to John
Greeley, the night operator at Canaan,
ihat No. 31 was one hour ana ten
minutes late. The order which Con
ductor Lawrence of the freight train
imwpd after the accident distinctly
states that No. 30 Instead of 34, was
an hour and ten minutes late. Con
rinrtor Lawrence, believing that he
hart RiitTtcIent time in the hour and ten
minutes to reach the side track at
West Canaan, four miles beyond, be
fore No. 30 reached It, ordered his
train ahead.
The superintendent declared that
fim accident was due to the mistake
In placing a cipher rfter the three in
the number of the train instead of a
tour.
Gets the Limit For Assault.
At Meadvllle, Pa., Ilfty-five years
in the Western penitentiary and
$1,000 fine Is the sentence Imposed by
Judge Thomas on Henry Lehna, the
confessed assailant of Alma White
head, the 14-year-old daughter of Rev.
R. B. Whitehead of Turnersville. He
cot 47 years on three assault charges
and 10 years for robbery. Lehna
showed little emotion when arraigned
for sentence, but he trembled when he
heard the words which gave him the
law's limit..
To the court's query, "Have you
anything to say why sentence should
not be passed?" he replied "I am
guilty, and while I expect no sympathy
from the people, I ask the leniency of
the court." Judge Thomas replied,
"I have no sympathy for such a man
ns you," and without further remark
sentence was pronounced. Within
three minutes of tho time he entered
the courtroom the prisoner was taken
back to Jail. In the Jail Lehna talked
free'y. He said the sentence was
heavier than he expected, but "it
didn't make much difference," and he
was "willing to take his medicine."
Hp admitted that he would rather
ake the Crawford county sentence

mountains, or even to West Newton,

he confessed.

INVESTIGATION (F WRECK.
Occupies Entire Time of Heads
of
Boston A Maine Railroad.
Concord, N. II., Sept. 17. The Inves
tigation by the officials of the Boston
and Maine railroad of the collision of
trains on the Concord division near
Canaan Sunday morning by which 25
passengers of the Quebec express lost
their lives and nearly 30 were Injured,
occupied the entire time of heads of
the system.
General Superintendent C. E. Lee,
and Assistant General Superintendent
G. W. Folger, of Boston, with William
F. Day, superintendent of the Concord
division, examined the records In the
train despatchor's office here, and al
so made a careful Investigation at
Canaan, and other stations along the
line of tho Concord division in an ertort
to determine Just who was responsible
for the blunder by which the two
trains were brought together.
The proceedings of the examination
were seeret but It. Is known that J. A.
Crowley, the train despatcher in this
city, and Operator Greeley, the man
who received the order from the train
despatcher at the station in Canaan,
were particularly Questioned. After
.the examination of these men at the
office of Division Superintendent Ray,
the railway officials accompanied by
Operator Greeley, left for the scene
of the Accident in a special train.
At Canaan tho officials visited the
wreck and examined the records of
the operator at the station and then
went on to Wliitn River Junction, stop
ping at various stations on the way
to Interview the teleTT.phers at these
points. At White River Junction they
Inspected the records at the railroad
of!i?
Just what action will foe taken by
thp authorities of Grafton county. In
which the town of Canaan is located.
has not been determined. County So
licitor M. D. Cobleigh, of Lebanon,
said that no move has been made as
yet. on the part of the state.
"U is necessary," Mr. Cobleigh said,
"to wait until the investigation, which
is bfing conducted by the officers of
the medical referee. In conjunction
with the inquiry of the railroad offi
cials, shall have thrown thp blame on
some one person."
"There Is a possibility," added Mr.
Cobleigh, "that witnesses may be tak
en before the grand Jury which comes
in at Woodsville on Wednesday of
this week. This action, however, has
not been decided upon."
Mr. Cobleigh also suggested that it
was likely that the railroad commis
sioners might decide to begin an In
vestigation of the wreck, and in that
case they would probably drop all
other business before them and con
duct their inquiry immediately.
All victims of the wreck have been
identified.
