Engine and Car Leave West Quincy Track. Passengers In Rear Coach Slightly Shaken Upa Train Jumps Switch Neal' Cross St.

WEST QUINCY. May 8The train which leaves Boston at 6:46 in on the Y. II railroad for praintree by the Granite branch was wrecked near the Sross-st crossing. a short distance from the station here, tonight, overturning the locomotive and badly damaging the forward passenger car. The accident occurred at 715.

The 'train was in charge of conductor Warren R. Page and engineer H. Tobey. and comprised a locomotive and two 'p assenger cars. As it approached the crossing it was to run onto a switch to give the train leaving Braintree at 7:10 for Boston an opportunity to pass.

The locomotive jumped the track, carrying the forward passenger car with it. They ran a distance of about 70 feet, plowing up the ground all the way. The locomotive then began to topple, and the engineer and fireman jumped to the ground. The locomotive fell over on its left side and narrowly escaped going down a steep embankment. The trucks of the forward passenger car left the track.

but became so deeply burled in the sandy soil as to prevent the car tipping over The second passenger car did not leave the rails. Conductor Page, who was in tbe the forward car, was thrown through the door, on to the platorm, but the only injury he received was a severe shaking up. Word was sent to Boston and a wrecking train arrived at about 9:30. It is hoped to have the track clear by morning. It is not known what caused the accident, but it is said to have been due tO either an open switch or the spreading of the rails.

An investigation of the cause is in progress. There were only five or six passengers on the train, and while they received a rather rough shaking up none of them appeared to be injured.

Troops' have been leaving all day long. Forts have been dismantied and all artillery have been placed on board of trains.

All the local transportation has been commandeered by the Russian authorities. There is a native rumor current that Japanese.troops are in Poochau bay, which is on the west side of the Liaotung peninsula and about 60 miles north of Port Arthur, but this report lacks confirmation. The fear is held here that if the Russians and the Japanese do not at once take possession of Newchwang the brigands, who are now across the river near Yinkow, will pillage the place. The foreign residents are prepared to resist the brigands should they come over, and the British consul has requested that a gunboat be sent The Russians probably will destroy the gunboat Sivoutch before leaving here Japanese troops fired on what probably was the last train out of Port Arthur as it passed near Port Adams. They used artillery and small arms, and killed or wounded several Chinese.

It is reported here that Viceroy Alexieff was slightly wounded prior to his departure from Port Arthur. He barely escaped from there before the Japanese closed communication. The Russian general staff have moved from Liaoyang Moukden. Russians here will talk of the situation for fear that they may impart some information. They do not consider that their forces here are Continued on the Third Poore.

This Was About Four Days Before Page Mystery of His Suit Case Cleared Up. After searching for weeks, the police have arrived at an explanation of the canvas suit case belonging to Charles Tucker which he left at the Auburn-(tale railroad station several days before Mls Mabel Page was murdered at West When this suit case was taken some days ftfter Tucker was arrested. the nolice attached considerable mystery to It.

They sent it to Prof Edward S. Wood for examination for possible bloodstains and they even thought the accused may have left it there while contemplating' flight. But it has been definitely settled that Tucker used the suit case to carry some clothing to Boston to sell. Several days ago. through Chief Inspector Watts, the state police were given the facts about 'his suit case and the clothing.

One of Chief Watts men found that Tucker had sold his clothing to a second-hand dealer on Kneeland st, near the corner of Harrison av. The state police then saw the dealer and took possession of the garments. They were sent to Prof I According to the story told by the second-hand dealer. Tucker brought two suits and other articles of wearing apparel in a canvas suit case four or five days before the date of the Weston murder. He appeared to be willing to accept anything the dealer chose to offer and when the price of $3 for the lot was named the young man agreed.

'Caren the sale had been made the er asked for his name and Tucker handed him a card bearing his correct name and address. Then the dealer says Tucker produced a hunting knife in a leather sheath. "How much will you give me for that?" asked the young man. "I will not give more than 75 cents." answered the broker. "It is worth at least said Tucker.

"and I don't care to sell it for less." But the dealer would not raise his offer of 75 cents, and he says Tucker put the knife in his pocket and left the store. The dealer said he did not see him afterward. It appears that Tucker left the suit ease at the Auburndale railroad station and had not called for it up to the time of his arrest. The chief value of the evidence of the second-hand dealer to the government Is expected to lie in his possible recollection of Tucker and of the appearance of the hunting knife that he says the young man offered a few days before Mabel Page waz killed. If the dealer's evidence is of any account.

it will be to show that the man accused of the murder of Mabel Paige was in possession of the hunting knife as recently as four days before the crime. It is also expected that the prosecution will claim that the young man's sale of his clothing' is evidence that he needed money, and was putting himself to some inconvenience to get it. Submitting the clothing to Prof Wood is believed to be only a precaution, as all the testimony indicates that those articles were in the possession of the second-band dealer before the day Mabel Page was killed. Tracing the canvas grip and its contents has, however. relieved the nonce of some uncertainty.

as they had been seriously troubled by the action of Tucker in leaving the case at the railroad station. WORK AMONG LEPERS. Rev John Jackson Says There Are a Million in the Far East. At the Pilgrim Congregational church. Dorchester.
