Charles T.. Gautz, of the Albany Erening
Journal. were on tho second section and
were considerably shaken up.
In the sleeper were also Miss NcFadden,

railroad presidents. with their counsel,
who had been attending the monthly meet
ing of officers of the Vanderbilt system in

that the brakeman of No. went back like
q shot 40 soon as the first section stopped.
Conductor Dillon, of the second section,
says he was only nine minutes behind the
first section after leaving Yosts, which IS
six miles east.
All of the local physicians and dentists
were promptly called and rendered time:
" assistance. Manning was a relative OF
the late Secretary -of-the-Treasury Man
ming. Mrs. Manning has not yet been in
formed of her husbands death. A corO-
ner's inquest will be held at l o'clock Mon
day.
Superintendent Webb Of the Wagner
Palace-Car Company, stated that from
what he could learn from oil the available
sources the accident was due entirely TO tho
carelessness of the engineer OF the first
train. When the .cylinder-head burst the
engineer should have stopped, and then
had his train tagged. Instead of doing so
the man continued running his train with
one cylinder The second section Of the
train was gaining time on the first. so when
the latter was compelled to stop the space
between the two trains was not sufficient
to avoid q collision.
