gineer William Googe, Meadvile fireman
Arthur Irwin, Meadville; fireman Edward

none are likely to result fatally. ~
Two fast mail trains Number 1 and q

accident was caused by conductor and en-.
gineer misreading their orders. They are
both amongst the oldest employees. None
OF the passengers were injured. On the
south-bound train the baggage master and
mail agent was killed. On the north bound
train the baggage master was killed and
