Shortly after 5 o'clock last evening a de-
structive freight wreck occurred ON the
Pennsylvania railroad, between Diller
vile and the Little ConestOga bridge, and
Just Il short distance west Of the Harris
burg turnpike crossing. About that time
train, on the extra freight east schedule,
drawn by engine No. 232, was standing
west of Dillerville some distance wait
ing for the day express to pass
down the Mt. joy branch Of the road and
on to the main track. Another train
drawn by engine No. 113 came up ut a
pretty brisk rate and ran into the rear of
the front train, breaking the cabOosc into
splinters and throwing one car OF tho
front train of the track. Engine No. 113
was terribly wrecked, while the tank was
torn from its truck and was lifted upon
the top CT car loaded with coal. Fifteen
other cars Of the rear train were thrown
off the track and most OF chem were
broken up. Two heavy box cars. loaded
with grain We're thrown up an embank-
the track, where they struck with such
force rs to piow deep burrows in the
Sround. The ears were piled upon each
other. and one OF them, which had been
loaded with large bales Of cotton, was
broken into splintcrs, and it looked
like \ load OF fire wood. Grain, merchan-
disc. lumber, railroad iron, iron piping.
&c, were strcwn all along the track and
over the bordering fields. One box car
was thrown over against = telegraph pole
along the north side of the track The.
pole bent and several Of tho wires wore
broken. When the wreckers came tho
pole was cut off in order to throw the CIR
over into the field in clcarin. tho n .rth
track.
Immediately after the wreck word WAS
sent for the wreck trains ut Parkesbury
and Columbia, and they v!ere both soon
on the ground. The VS. went to work
at once and ut midni.t .t;ht the north track
was cleared and Trains were able to pass.
