Ogdensburg Railroad near Carleton last
night. As q Thousand Island train, which
was running at q high rate Of speed on the
main line, neared Carleton, the engineer
noted a single car standing on the track
ahead of him. He at once put on the air
brakes and reversed the lever Of his engine,
but before the speed Of the train could be
slackened the engine dashed into the OBJ
struction, and in an instant all was q
scene Of wreck and confusion. The air
was filed with the groans Of the dying and
injured. The engineer, who heroically re-
manned at his post, was fatally injured.
When the crash came the fireman, who
stood by him till the last, was instantly
killed. Word for assistance was at once
teleg1 aphed to Charlotte. The distance is
25 miles. On the arrival Of aid the work
Of rescuing the wounded and taking out
the dead from the wreck began. So far as
can be learned at present the car which
caused the disaster was blown on to the
main line from q branch track by q high
wind which prevailed at the time Of the
accident. 1t is supposed that Rev. DR..
Atwood Of Canton and Rev. DR.. Fiske OF
Syracuse were passengers on the Inflated
train. Fourteen dead bodies were
taken out Of the wreck at the last
advices. Among the killed and injured
are Henry Mccormick Of Benton, Mich;
Louis France, fireman, killed; Archer
Taylor Of WATERFOWL, -baggageman, killed;
Mrs. Jennison of 819 North Ninth
street, Philadelphia, hip broken; Mrs.
Brooks of Philadelphia, a friend of Mrs.
Jennison, is still in the wreck. Two
ladies named Hall were fatally hurt. Train
master Chauncy of Oswego was fatally
hurt, and Engineer James Mccarthy
fatally scalded. William Rockafell, FORE
man in the shops in Oswego. had q leg
broken. The wind and rain beggar de-
scription. The engine is totally wrecked.
Fireman Louis France is mangled beyond
recognition. From Is to 10 passengers |
are reported injured. Many persons were
killed outright and others left in a dying
condition. The snfferings Of the wounded
Of Brooks is believed to be burned in the
