of the collision was so great that four of the of

ing ride on the cars at the time were thrown or
one Of them almost instantly killed and the other
seriously II not dangerously hurt. None OF the pas
sengers were injured but were considerably alarmed
when the occurrence took place. The cause Of the
accident Is the old one-a misplaced switch, which
was arranged to allow the freight train TO leave the
main track Tor the express train from Buffalo, After
the switch was made use OF 1t was not replaced and
hence the accident Those who were travelling on
