Vice-Com. .A, E. Chesmar. of the
Norwalk Yacht Club, has received
conclusive proof that the yacht cap-
tured at Marblehead, Mass. is his. The
chief of the Marblehead police sent
word to Mr. Charmer that they found
on the boat a plush lined overcoat,
under the collar of which were the
words A. E. Chasmar. There was at-
so a package on the boat with Mr.
Chasmar‘s name on It. The police came
across these articles accidentally
while searching the craft for goods
supposed to have been stolen from an-
other host. The Marbiebcad chief
drew a very good likeness of the Ayll
and forwarded it to Mr. Chasmar and
wrote to him of many details about the
boat and there Is now not the least
doubt about the boat being the Ayli.
Major Frederick A. Hill and Commo-
dore Chasmar left last night on the

BROCKTON. Mass., September 18—-
Two cars of the 1:08 express train
from Boston, which makes Its first
stop at Brockton ”.1243 were thrown
off the track a little north of the Avon
depot today about 1:30 o'clock and six
passengers were killed, several of
them being horribly mangled.
A freight train which had just been
made up. and was preparing for Its
run to the south In the some direction
as the express train. ran Into the pas-

Three women an three men were
among the killed but their names have
not been ascertained. Eight persons
are reported as being badly injured.
Six of them were brought to the. Brock-
ton hospital about 3 o‘clock. The
freight train had been made up on a
siding and was pulling on to the main
track. The express was just speeding
by and the locomotive of the freight
went Into the second coach. There
were three passenger cars on the that
train. and the middle one was struck
by the freight engine. and the one be-
hind It were throw from the track and

The bodies were taken Immediately
to a freight house. near by. where they
were viewed by the medical examiner.
0f the twenty-five Injured. the most
seriously were taken to the hospital. A
number of prominent Brockton people
were on the trains. must of whom were
Injured. but were able to go to their
homes. The accident Occurred about
1.000 feet above the Avon station. be-
tween two stretches of thicket and by
the side of a steep embankment. The

and was one minute behind time at Av-

A freight of thirty cars. laden with
granite, coal and gravel had just been
made‘ upon the siding. and was proceed-
Ing south In the some direction as the
express. Engineer Sheldon. of the
freight train, figured that he had four
minutes to spare to get on to a side
truck further down. which led to a
gravel pit where some of his cars were
to be kicked off. He thought that he
could reach that point before the ex-
press arrived and want full speed ahead.
One of his crew had set the switch of a
“cross over" in such a manner that
hen the freight engine struck it. It
turned on to the-main truck. Engl-
Sheldon did not notice this switch
quickly enough to enable him to stop
his train. and . before he released it.
the express dashed past on the other
track.
The engine of the express and the
baggage our passed by before the
freight reached the train. but the, sec-
ond. the smoker. was struck squarely
In the middle and thrown down the
steep embankment. and landed on Its
side In some soft thick mud. The third
car on the train. a passenger coach,
was also dragged over by the force of
the amount.
The last car on the train etched on
the track. The collision came with such
suddennesri that thepnuengers In the
three cm were thrown with great force”
from their seats don the cars rolled
over. the passcng re fell upon each oth-
er. and those.underneuth were forced
through the windows, into the mad he-
neath, where broken seats and the hen-
vy pieces of timber pinned them down.
Many were forced entirely through
the windows by the sudden shock, and
fell to the ground. . .They were unable
to extricate themselves before the
freight coughed over on top of them.
A cylinder the freight engine was
torn off .snd escaping steam added to
the horror. For a moment every one

amphitheater will be built a large

statesman as the loss of a great per-

ginccrs, five thousand men In all, the
governor. lieutenantgovcrnor and a
justice of the supreme court, repre-
senting the three. branches of the state
government were at the station to re
cclve the body. The. whole town was
in deep black. The only house in all
this sorrow-stricken city, strange as
It. may seem, without a touch of mourn
lug drapery was the McKinley cottage
in North Market street. The blinds
were drawn, but there was no other
evidence of mourning. There was not
even a bow crapc upon the door when
Mrs. McKinley was carried by Abner
McKinley and Dr. llixcy Into the dark
cncd home. Only the hitching post at
the curb In front of the residence had
been swuthed In black by the citizens
in order that It might conform to the
general scheme of mourning decorue

borne the body to the court house

would not compare with the infinite
sadness of that double line of broken
hearted people who streamed steadily,

Iug widow at nightrall. They stopped

might appear less noticeable. but cv

the ghastly lips. When the body was
taken away thousands were still In line
and the committee m charge of the or

mains tomorrow morning before they
are taken to the church. But this had
to be reluctantly denied to them and
