ward, and standing on the track at Tur-
ner's station. The circus train had re-
manned near the station ten minutes, al
though it was known that the express
train entitled to the track was coming up
behind them and twenty minutes late.
On hearing the approach of the express
train the engineer of the circus train,
knowing that a collision was inc
vitable, put on all possible steam
and started off. The crash, however,
came, the express knocking two
passenger cars of the circus train into
splinters. Not a whole seat twas left.
The cars were filed with circus perform
ers and employees, male and female, all of
whom escaped with only slight bruises,
except Mr.. Whitbeck, director of the
circus, who was instantly killed. Whit
beck had but moment before stepped to
the platform. Had he remained inside
the car he probably would have shared
the safety of the others. All the other
cars of the circus train except those con-
tanning horses were demolished or thrown
from the bank. The band wagon was
utterly destroyed. The locomotive of the
express train was driven into the cars of
the circus train, and they were set on fire.
The damage to the express train is slight,
and no passengers were injured, though
the engineer and firemen are badly hurt.
