CAUSE OF THE DISASTER.
PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Sept. 20.-Accord-
inp to advices received at the main Office,
in regard to the cause Of the calamity, it
apDelrs that two coal trains left Perry,
turther I'D the road, twelve minutes apart
and south bound. Aftsr proceeding some
distance the first train Of cars parted in the
middle, aad as the rear half stopped the
second train plunged into it and
threw heap of debris upon
a half after this collision, and almost before
the freight crew could turn around, that
the express came laundering along,
plunged into the obstruction and went into
the river.
melancholy coincidence is presented in
y the fact that the ill-fated train, the "Potts-
vileexpress,n is the same which was wrecked
at Tuckertown on the down trip on June
4 % last, and Engineer White and Fireman
Tempting, who were killed in yesterdays
disaster, filed the places of the Heller
brothers, Louis and George, the engineer
and fireman who lost their lives in the first
mentioned accident.
