which the next moment met his own with a
high rate of speed and the shock was terrific.
The engines were raised upright to height
of fifteen feet. The tender of the passenger
engine resisted the shock of the collision with
the coaches following it, and it telescoped in
to the first car, occupied by about tw enty male
passengers. The freight cars piled upon each
other, and the splinters from this pyramid OF
shattered woodwork were thrown into the air
to an altitude of leo feet. The engineers nd
hremen OF the respective trains knew that a
collision was inevitable in time to save them
selves. Neil Lankton, the engineer of the
freight train, and Nathan Salladay, the fire.
man OF the passenger train, took advantage of
TINS knowledge 10 save themselves by jump
| ing into dltch OF stagnant water alongside
the track. John Kelley, the engineer of the
passenger tram, remained at his post until the
shock hurled him from the cab a distance of
nfteen feet, across the ditch into the meadow
marshes. His left arm was fractured and his
left leg injured. His recovery is very doubt
full. When Albert Meissner, the fireman of
the freight engine, saw the eastward bound
train approaching he called to his engineer to
jump, and springng from the cab, he mount
ed the box car, and was in the act ofapplying
the DTdke wien tuS CRASH Cdti1e, anu before
he could realize it he was crushed through
one of the boxes and almost buried in the de-

were wounded, one of them fatally.
The meadows were covered for some dis
lance with portions of merchandise, freight,
and pieces of the engines and cars. The en-
gines were literally torn to pieces.
The accident was caused by the cereless-
ness of the freight conductor, GILBERT who
was running eight minutes into the time of
the passenger train. This fact was made in
dsputable by comparison of the conductors
watches Immediately after the accident. Gill
bert's watch WAS eight minutes slow, and it

Commissioners as to the expediency of re-
serving the forests from destruction. The
Commissioners argue that the Telling OF tho
timber which now covers the Adirondack
country would destroy the water-courses
which feed the Hudson. Mr.. Headley does
not believe that the denudation of the earth
would materially affect the rainfall on
which the streams depend for their supply.
He says that the iron ore-beds of the Adj

the forests must supply the fuel needed
for smelling, and that the segregation of
the region forpark orreservation purposes
