KILLED IN A WRECKEIGHTEEN P1RS0N S N E T HORRI­

Passenger Train Crashed Into Ac­commodation Train—More Than 30 People Injured—Signals Could Not Be Seen—Wreck Took Fire.

Lincoln, Maas.. 27.—Eighteen sons were killed, 30 or more were seri­ously Injured, and probably a «core of others cut and bruised In tbe most dis­astrous railroad wreck recorded ln this slate for many years. The wreck occurred at 8:16 o'clock at Baker's Bridge station, a mile and a half west of Lincoln, on the main line of the Fitchburg division of the Boston & Maine railroad. The regular Sunday express which left Boston at 7:45 o'clock for Montreal by way of the Rutland system, crashed Into the t<

for points on the Marlborough branch, and which started from Boston at 7:16.

O f the dead, a dozen were passen­gers In the two rear cars of the Marl-

press, and his fireman. No passengers on the express train were injured. Of those who lost their llvea, a numoer were apparently instantly killed In the collision, while others were either burned to death or died from suffoca-

on.There were 13 persona taken from

the wreck and three died after being Three of the bodies were

headless. Two skulls were found at 2 and 20 minutes later a man's

bead with a full beard was picked up. It is difficult to fix tbe exact number of those who perished, but it is thought It will not exceed 18.

The Dead.A partial list of-tbe dead Is as fol­

At a reoent meeting of directors of the Chioago, Millwankee A S t Paul Railroad company the board formally authorised the building of tbe 8t. Paul extension to the Paoiffo ooast from Evarta, S. D-, to Seattle and Tacoma.

It was specified in the offioial an­nouncement that the work of construc­tion is to begin forthwith. It is esti­mated that the coot will be about $600,000,000. While all details of the route hare not been decided on, the Una wUl run toward the Rocky moun­tain* west by north of west to Butte, fhenoe tt w ill be extended weatetrly, oroeeing the Bitter Root mountains thruogh Lolo pass and nltmately oon-‘ neoting at WaUnla, Wash., the termi-
