Railway Disaster. ll
DETROIT, Oct. lO,-A serious and friOhtful moi
dent occurred on the Michigan Central Railroad,
a short distance east Of the junction, about one o..
clock this morning. The Pacific Express train,
west-bound. which left Detroit forty minutes late.
collided with a switch engine on the main track ut
that place. telescopiDg the baggage and express
car. and piling the remaining coaches, eleven In
number. on top OF the others. The first coach was
filled with emigrants, most of whom were killed or
seriously wounded. Many occupants OF the other
coaches were also killed or injured. II is supposed
there are twenty or thirty passengers killed and
twenty to thirty wounded. The majority OF the
number are thought to be emigrants and second
class passengers. AS near as can be ascertained,
the accident was caused by the switchman having
charge OF the freight train at Jackson Junction, oc-
cupying the main track with a switch engine and
caboose, understanding that the Pacific Express
was considerably behind time. The express train,
however, had made up nearly all the lost time.
The engineer and fireman of the express train were
literally torn to pieces. but the engineer and Gre
man OF the switch engine escaped Injuries by
jumping from the engine. The train was made up
of seven Wagner sleepers. four passenger coaches
and mail and baggage cars. The tender Of the en-
CINE was telescoped into the baggage.car about
half its length. This car in turn forced its way In
to the mail car, and these crowded the first passen-
ger coach to the right on the embankment and
crashed back through the two following. Passen-
gers in the Hrst coach were comparatively unharm-
ed. the harvest of death being reaped in the second
and third coaches. The fourth coach escaped with
slight damage and none OF the Wagner coaches
we're injured. -
