injured. The Flushing train leaving
Hunters Point, when ct Montsuk Junction
about eight miles from the depot, was run
into BY the Manhattan Beach train, due at
Hunters Point At 6:S5. The latter train
was several minutes late, and the engineer
should have stopped east Of the Junction
until the Flushing train passed. The two
locomotives came together near the switch.
The Flushing train consisted OF four pas
senger coaches and . combination car,
| each Of which wal full Of passengers. None
| Of these were injured. The engine and
| tender we're badly broken up. The engi-
neer Of the Flushing train, Ernest Kretz-
ner, remained ct his post, backing down
| his train. He received slight injuries.
| The Manhattan Beach train consisted OF
seven ordinary passenger cars and one par
lor car. The latter was next to the engine
| At the time Of the collision. This train
| was running at the rate OF 30 miles an
hour. The engine was not greatly dam
| aged, but the car was telescoped by the
| car behind. All the cars were crowded
and many persons standing on the plat
| forms. Mostof the occupants OF the parlor
| car being warned by. the kissing Of the
| escaping air from the cir brakes escaped
from the car by doors and windows. The
| car apparently broke in W. about the mid
| die, and the platform OF the car behind
| crushed through about the same distance.
| All the chairs in the back part OF the cal
| were smashed and hurled one on top OF
| another. Wedged in between the platform
| OF the second car and the floor Of the parlor
car were, on one side, Thomas Birming-
ham and Robert Smith on the other. II
| was found necessary to chop the paneling
and woodwork with axes to get the men
| out. Their legs were 30 crushed that am
putation was necessary. The men died
very soon after the operation. Their
| bodies were removed to the Long Island
deadhouse to await an inquest. The in

| engineer Of the Manhattan Beach train,
cut about the head and shoulders; M.
| Norris, Philadelphia, leg cut of; George
Wright, residence unknown, serious cnts
on the face and hip; Lawrence, New York,

late Of Haverly's Minstrels; Barney Aaron
| and Z large number Of sporting men, who
were returning from the races ct Coney
Island. Smith, killed, was ticket seller
for Kelly 4 Bliss ct Sheepshead Bay. The
injured were all taken out OF the wrecked
oar through the windows by other passen-
gers. Harry Mann said: II was sitting
in . front seat behind the parlor car with
Barney Aaron. When about 10 miles from
Hunters Point / made . remark about
the great speed the train was running,
saying that II anything should happen the
engineer could not stop the train. Shortly
after we heard . hiss Of escaping air
from the brakes. Barney Aaron jumped
and ran out on the platform, and after
looking off the side car. shouted: "For
Gods sake. get ~ far back a. you can, for
there il going to be . collision" Those in
the rear parlor car and in our car ct once
left their seats and made their way out Of
the doors and windows. Just - the col
lision occurred / assisted at least . dozen
ladies and men out Of the windows. l was
not hurt.
Engineer Glenn Of the Manhattan Beach
train. In an interview, said he saw the dan
ger signal and ct once put on his cir brakes
and whistled down brakes. The air brakes
refused to work. He whistled down
brakes three times, but 40 attention was
paid to the signals until the trains were
right on one another.
