Down an Embankment and Fifty-thres
Persons Hurt.
CINCINNATI, March 30-A landslide near
Mason, on the Cincinnati Southern Railroad,
this morning threw the north-bound pas
senger train from the track. The place
of the accident is forty miles from here
They were going forty miles an hour on a
sharp curve when the whole train left the
track and rolled down an elabankment
fifty feet. The total number injured is
fifty three, several of whom are very badly
hurt.
Later-The whole rain did not leave the
track The cause of the accident was a
broken rail. Engineer Michael discovered
il. and instantly applied the brakes and re-
versed. This threw Conductor Ward, who
was in the smoking car, forward, and gave
him the slight bruises he received. The en-
CINE and baggage car remained on the track
The smoking car was partly thrown off
The ladies' car entirely left the track, and
stood almost at right angles with the road,
the lower end down the embankment. This
car subsequently burned. Two sleeping cars
rolled down the embankment and were
badly wrecked. Very few passengers es-
capped without some injury, though most of
the injuries are not serious. MIR. j. NJ
