KILLED BY CARS AT RED WING.
Especial Telegram to the Globe.
RED Wing, Oct. 10.-A young man by the
name of Hatch was killed here last night while
attempting to jump on No. G, the II o'clock
freight train bound east. Very near the entire
train passed over his body, severing one leg
| above the knee, breaking an arm and badly
crushing one foot. He lived for half an hour
after, but before medical assistance could be had
he died. ALI efforts to obtain the address of
his parents were without avail-he giving for
his reason that he did not want them to know
Of his death. ALI he would say was that they
were somewhere in Wisconsin. Seven dollars
in monev was found on his person but nothing
else that would lead to his Identification. His
remains were taken in charge and buried by
the authorities here to-day.
THE COLLISION IN PITTSBURGH.
PITTSBURGH, Pa, Oct 10.-The frightful col.
| lision that occurred last night at midnight
| on the Pennsylvania road near the Twenty
eighth street crossing, was more disastrous
than at first reported. Nine people were
killed outright and eleven more have died
| since, making in all twenty deaths, while as
many more are dangerously hurt, whom the
| physicians say connot recover. In addition to
these there are a large number who arc but
slightly injured. As stated last night the first
section of Walls accom- modation going East
left the union depot at 1881 P. NJ having
large crowd of passengers who had been to the
city to participate in the closing exercises of
the exposition and witness the Democratic
ho hoolr ,loffo
crowded that the head light in the second sec
tion following could not be seen. The first
section stopped at the regular station at
Twenty-eighth street, where they were delayed
on account of another train which was in the
next block. The second section came
along at good speed, but owing to
the crowd on the back platform
of the first section the signal lights were hid
den from view and consequently the engineer
of the second section did not see the train
ahead of him until he was so near it that his
train could not be checked in time to avert O
collision and the engine went crashing into the
rear coach of the first section, packed as it was
with human beings. Among those unfortun-
ates the engine buried itself to the very car
windows, in among screaming, suffering men,
women and children, all who were in its cousre
The boiler head of the colliding engine was
bursted off by the shock and scalding water
and steam poured over the occupants OF the car
as if bent on completing the horrible work
that had gone before. 1t is impossible to de-
scribe the fearful scene that followed. The
moans of the dying and wounded aud the
shrieks of those who had lost their friends
were frightful.
Word was Immediately telephoued to the
mayors Office for assistance, and twenty-five
policemen with a full corps of physicians and
wagons were dispatched at once to the scene of
the disaster, where they were soon busily en-
y,IO in alIaviatyUO O tho cuffavinUa nf tho Uic
tins and clearing the week. The wounded
who were unable to cat1 for themselves were
carried to the soldiers hospital, located but a
short distance from the accident.
The name of the engineer of the second loco
motive is Julius Hurry, and that of the fireman
Rombo. Both are residents of Pittsburgh and
escaped injury, notwithstanding they stuck to
the engine when it ploughed through the rear
Car of the other train.

Robert Pitcairn, superintendent of the road
| the best in the country, says if the rules hac
not been disobeyed the accident would notihavt
| occurred. The train had not yet gone into the
block operated by the signal system, and the
iagman was under an imperative order to g,
back half mile to flag the following train
that he did not wait to be ordered back by tn,
conductor, but went on his own accord
| This applies whether the trai1
is in the block or still in tho yard land limit
| as in this case. The fagman and all employe
of the train are all old and experienced men
and the officials cannot condemn them unit
an investigation is had, but the matter will b.
sifted and the responsibility placed where i
belongs.
A passenger states that the fagman, who's
name is Penrod, did not go back. He will b.
examined tomorrow.
| Orders for movement for trains are the sam
as in vogue for thirty years. and the official
insis. that the train men not superior to tn
officials violated the rules. Public opinion
seems to place the responsibility on Flagmal
Penrod. of the first section.
Mr.. Pitcairn says the loss by the wreck will
not be 81 GOO; that the run in was no extra
ordinary accident, but that the escaping stean
was the cause of the fatality, and that the rul
