Il
LEXINGTON (Ky.), January 1st-The COL
lision on the Cincinnati Southern Railroad,
near Greenwood, on a sixty-foot embank-
ment, reported briefly last night, is now
known to have resulted in the death of the
following persons Lee Withrow, baggage
master: James Severens, postal clerk; L. G.
Candee, tiremen; Lawrence Callan, baggage
master; W. B. Powell, express messenger,
and Miss Jessie Green, of Chattanooga, a

Fifteen persons, passengers and train
hands, whose names could not be secured,
are known to have been seriously, and
some of them fatally injured. In addition
to them the north-bound train this even
ing carried to Cincinnati five or six badly
injured passengers. The railroad officials
here refused the reporters access to them
and would not give their names.
The collision was caused by Conductor
Shrumm misreading 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
the point.
Conductor Bennett ran up to Shrumm
after the collision, and said I'm not to
blame for this. Read your orders and see. I"
Shrumm took out his orders, and look
ing at them threw up his hands and ex-
claimed "0h, my God I've made mis-
take"
The baggage-car and smoker of train No.
rolled down the embankment, and the
ladies' car was thrown on the engine, the
inmates being thereby scalded,- The two
engines collided with such force that they
were virtually wedged together, and
couldn't be pulled apart to-day.
