the signal and attempted to reverse the
engine, and at the same time the engineer
Of the circus train started ahead hoping to
lessen az much as possible the severity of
the shock, bat neither efforts proved of
any avail, for In an instant the locomotive
of the express dashed into the two rear
passenger cars containing the members of
the circus company. The smoke-stack of
the locomotive was broken off, the loco
motive and passenger cars telescoped. The |
scene was one of intense excitement. As |

to the horrors the last passenger car took
