The train was the ten 2. NJ express from Montreal

Is down grade, and soon the train was going fast
COW standing ON the track was struck and the
locomotive jumped the track carrying the tender,
baggage, mail, express, smoking and two passen-
ger cars with II. They ran on the ties fully thou
sand yards, when the engine ran down an en-
bankment, the tender passed by, and together
with express car landed on the other side OF the
track. The baggage car went still further on and
the body was thrown OFF alongside the fence In
fact every car except the sleepers was thrown up
side down The express car was smashed into
kindling wood, while nothing remained Of the

how the passengers escaped without death.
