terrible accident at $3.50. Three open cars with
high ratings on side and ends, with seats, and
loaded with about 125 persons, left that place for
this. On the way down all went well until No.
tunnel was passed. said tunnel being located
just above and overlooking the powder works.
As the cars passed through the tunnel the
speed was increased, it being down grade. just
as a curve in the road was reached the first
car jumped the track to the left and the
second to the right the third car remaining
| on the track. The people on the first two cars
were thrown into heap inside and toward the
