rear end collision occurred In the Shar
on station ot the New York, New Ha-
eh nnd Hartford rnllroad nt 7:30 last
night, when an express trnln which
was running ns the second section of a
long trnln crushed Into the first section,
composed of local curs.
As a result seven persons were killed
and 2(1 seriously Injured. The injured
wero nearly nil removed to Boston on a
special trnln, which was met by amuu
lances nnd surgeons. The rear car of
the local train was completely demol
ished and n portion of the second car,
while the engine of the express train
was crippled. The dead are: Frunklln
M. Waters, SomerBvllle, Mass.; Mrs.
William J. Fitzpatrlck, Doston, her
granddaughter, Mnry Fitzpatrlck, 10
years of age, nnd her grandson, 5 years
old; a woman supposed to be Mrs
Watson, of Westerly, It. I.; Mrs. C. H,
Hrlscne, Uevere. Mass,; C. B. Fry, Re-
ere, Mass., died nfter being taken to
the hospital in Boston.
Tho two trains which were In the col
llslon were usually combined Into one
long train, but as the traffic yesterday
was so heavy It was divided, the first
section running as n local accommoda
tion, while the second, which started
from Mansfield IB minutes later than
the first, ran ns an expiess. The local
train, due at Sharon at 7:02, was 1
minutes late. It left Mansfield on time,
making two slops, nnd had lost the 13
minutes between Mansfield and Sharon.
It wns due In Canton Junction, the next
station beyond Shnron, two minutes
ahead of the expiess train, which
should hnve passed It there.
Shnrim Is situated on a curve, and
both the outward and inward tracks
are protected by electric block signals,
After the accident It wns thought the
block signal protecting the Inward
track was set nt danger, showing, us
It was Intended, that there was a train
in the station. There was no warning
given by the conductor of the Mans
Held local to show the approaching
train that the truck was not clear
at the station, and it was not until ha
was within too feet of the station that
the eiinlneer of tho express noticed any
thing wroiiK. He Immediately set all
brakes and whistled the warning, but
It wns too late to stop the express.
It crashed into the tear car, splitting
It asunder nnd completely demolishing
It, with the exception of the roof. Its
speed was not slacked until the engine
had penetrated fully live feet Into the
ear of the second car. The escaping
steam entered the car and badly scald
