 tered tlie train from Boston. Before tlie engine could be 

 slopped, the cars came in contact, by wiiich the two for- 

 ward cars of the Providence train — called accommoda- 

 tion cars — were shattered to atoms ; these two cars were 

 filled with seamen, destined for the Boston, now lying at 

 Charlcstown Navy Yard, eight or nine of whom were 

 considerably injured, two of them having their legs bro- 

 ken and the others more or less shattered.
