Jessie Green, Chattanooga, passenger.
Fifteen persons, passengers and train
hands whose names have not been
secured, are known to have been
seriously, some Of them fatally In
jured. In addition. the north-bound
trains this evening carried to Cincin-
natl five or six badly injured
passeng rs. The railroad officials
here refused the Associated Press re-
porters access to them, and would not
give their names. The collision was
caused by Conductor Shruman mis-
reading the orders delivered to him
at Winfield. He mistook Summit
for Summerset, and hurried the train
down the grade at fifty miles an hour
to make that point. Conductor Ben
nett ran up to Shruman after the
collision and said, I'm not TO blame
lnr this; read Your orders and see."
Shruman took out his orders, and
looking at them, threw up his hand |
and exclaimed, ooh, my God, I've

KILLED IN A COLLISION.
Two Freight Trains Have IA Bad Smash
Up Near Alexandria, Va.

The residents of Alexandria were aroused
from their slumbers yesterday morning
about i:20 by the noise made by two en-
gines colliding on the Alexandria and
Fredericksburg railroad, near the corner of
Duke and Fayette streets. The trains We're
bound north and south, respectively. Capt
Charles Bennett and Engineer George b.
May manned the former, and Capt. George
w. Anderson and Engineer Schwallenburg
the latter.
The two engines collided at the rounding
of the curve with such force as to entirely
demolish the south bound locomotive and
two box cars of the north bound train.
The injury to those in charge of the trains
is confined entirely to Frederick Farcht,
fireman Of the south bound train, who is a
resident of York, Pa, and was engaged in
working up his fire when the engines struck,
catching his left foot between the tender
and cab platform and crushing it entirely
OF. j. W. Parker, brakeman on the same
train, who halls from Alexandria, was seri-
ously injured by being thrown from the top
OF u freight car to the ground, Capt. Ben
nett received only slight injury. The two
first named subsequently died from the
effects Of their injuries,
The cause of the accident was ascertained
to be due to the giving Of conflicting orders
by the train dispatcher, who, 1t appears,
gave both trains the right of way. The
wreck occasiOned the delay of but one pas
senger train, and, under the immediate su-
peryision of Superintendent McKccyer, was
entirely cleared up by 10 o'clock.
