THE MUD RUN ACCIDENT.
The COrorers Jury Brings in Verdict De-
Glazing tha Trainmen Responsible.

MAUCH CHUNK, Pa, Oct 22.-After a three
days session. the coroner's jury which has
been investigating the recent accident on the
Lehich Valley railroad, at Mud run. by which
SO many lives were lost. reached the following
verdict to-day:
I'VE find the engineers of locomotives 452 and
466, Of the seventh section, were guilty Of gross
negligence first, in failing to discover the red
signal in time, the evidence clearly showing
that this signal was in full view as their train
approached, and secondly. for not approaching
the station under full control, required BY
both the general and special orders. The evil
dence also shows that the air.brakes of the en-
tire seventh section we're under the control of
the engineer OF locomotive 466. and that he
could have stopped the train in spite OF ths
locomotive ahead. No. 452. Wa find that the
lookout men of locomotives ASP and 466 were
guilty Of gross negligence 10 failing to report
their respective engineers the red light at the
station as the train approached. The men were
placed their respective engines as an ejdi-
tional precaution, their special duty being to
look out for signals. The lookout man on 452
failed to see the signal. The other on 46G, testi-
fed that he saw it when about l,500 feet from
the station, and yet he reported ali right to the
engineer, and claims that he did not think the
red light meant anything, as nobody used 1t.
We find that the rear brakeman of the
sixth section was guilty of gross negligence,
for. when his train stopped instead OF going
promptly DacA the proper distance 10 warn the
approsching train, no stopped at the station.
There was time enough for him TO have gone
back nearly half mile. but he went less than
500 feet We fud that the conductors of the
two sections failed In their duty the first in not
conforming to the rule requiring each conductor
to see personally that his brakeman protects the
rear of his train, and ths second in not rsouir-
ing his train to approach the station under con-
troll"
The coroners jury investigating the recent
ad ert tha Lab iDh rails
at Tamaaesd, by which eight persons were
killed and seven others fatally injured. rem
dered verdict to-day charging the fsgmsn
with gross negligence 10 not signaling ths ap-
preaching train sooner, and censuring the en-
gueer Of the Pen ms ylvania freight train for
running too fast, and the engineer OF the Le-
high Valley construction train for rot carrying
out orders issued.
