were we'll respected. George GreaVes
engineer of the freight train. was seri-
ously wounded ; also Pat Kelley, engi'
nser OF the emigrsnt train. The emi-
grant agent had a rib broken, and a
number received scratches and bruises,
though none OF the emigr ants were Sc
riously injured. The two conductors,
E. T. Smalk Of the freight train, and
F. Ashton OF the emigrant, escaped
without injury. The bodies of the
dead men were taken to Bellaire and
will be forwarded to their friends thi.
evening.
The injury to the cars was serious
both engines, No. 8 and No. Is being
totally wrecked. The freight was only
running about six miles an hour, while
the emigrant train was running on full
time. The first car on the freight train
was loaded with corn, the second
portable saw mill. The force with
which the first car came upon the se-
cond lifted the saw mill and placed il
on top OF the third car, while the corn
| was scattered in every direction. The
track was cleared by 2 o'clock P. NJ. and
the morning passenger train east, which
had been kept waiting, conveyed the
emigrauts who were in the car to
Bellaire. They were on their way from
Prussia to settle in Omaha, Nebraska.
All the blame attached to this des-
truction OF life and property seems to
rest upon the engineer and conductor
OF the freight train, for not paying pro-
per attention to see that the signals
were right before running on.
