perhaps twenty miles hour.
1t Is not yet positively known what was the
cause OF the accident. but it is stated that
| freight train had just been switched off to make
way TOT the excursion train, and as the
| accident occurred at this switch there
Is reasonable supposition that it had not
been properly locked. Both engines jumped
the track and went over the embankment

tremen escaped death, only one, as far as
known, being seriously hurt. At least five of
the cars were wrecked, including the baggage
car and four passenger coaches. Among the lat
ter was the ENGLISH coach, in which were many
oarsmen and newspaper men. These cars were
piled up on each other and the wonder is that
the loss of life is not greater.
