we're knocked out of their seats in every
direction, and few escaped being mangled,
bruised or scalded. The car took fire in
stantly and was wrapped il fsmes almost
before the passengers could be gotten out.
It was entirely consumed. Most of the
passengers were bespattered with blood
and SCOT, hut, miraculous as it may seem,
no one was killed. The worst injuries
were sustained By Mira. Knox and two lit
tie children, of Cornellsyille. She
is badly bruised, cut and
scalded, but the extent of her injuries is
not yet known. One of her children had a
leg broken and both were scalded about
the face. J. K. Ritenour and wife we're
bruised and burned, but their children es-
capped serious injuries. James Lepper, of
Pittsburg, had his shoulder hurt. Mr..
and Mrs. West, of Brownsville, we're
bruised and cut. ]. L. Woods, of Union
town, was cut on the head and hand. About
a dozen others were slightly injured. The
marvel is that nearly all the passengers in
the middle car were not killed. State
Treasurer Bailey was IN the front car and
escaped unhurt. The cause of the acct
dent is not satisfactorily explained.
