A RUNAWAY LOCOMOTIVE.
The Collision in Which Two Engines we're
Ruined and a Brakeman Killed.

The almost total destruction of two
locomotives of the Central Railroad of
New Jersey, 10y collision at Elizabeth
port, N. j., on Saturday afternoon, to-
gether with the death of Edward Hell
peny, a brakeman, was made the subject
of an investigation by County Physician
Brown, in Elizabeth, yesterday. En-
gineer Benjamin Moore, of locomotive
No. 81, which was the immediate
cause of the catastrophe, was the first
witness examined. He testified that
between l and , o'clock on Satur-
day afternoon, after he bad cut loose
from a coal train n short dis
lance from the jefferson avenue
switch in Elizabeth, he started to back
down the track toward Elizabethport,
but at Spring street was forced to stop,
as a rail projecting from a handcar had
lodged between the bottom of the truck
and the engine tank. lie and his fire
nan then jumped to the ground to re-
mo'e the rail. He left the throttle
'ai'e II the engine closed. While off
the engine he heard n noise ahead, and
upon looking up the track discovered
the coal trai. which had been left only
Anew minutes OBVIOUSLY, coming down
the grade rapia.s, and within 4 few
feet of the locomotve. The engineer
and fireman were u~successful in an
attempt to reach the ca,before the COL
lision. The force of the bow was such
that the Unbelievable was tlrown wide
open, and the locomotive, wihout en-
gineer or fireman, went speediu, off
toward Elizabethport at the rate of
forty miles al hour. Knowing the
the track on which it was running led
directly to the company's shops front
ing the river, and that unless the Aen
were warned of its approach many
would be killed, Moore and his fireman
endeavored to signal those below, but
without Success. As the locomotive
neare5 nne crossing of the Long Branch
arr Celtsal Railroads the flagman ran
cp<-d waved n signal of danger. The
locomotive passed like n flash, and,
after crossing First street, turned the
curve to the left, leading directly to the
shops. Within a dozen rods of the lat
