There was absolutely no chance for the
engineer and fireman to escape. Ia the
first place it is very difficult to get from
the cab which on snch locomotives as the
594 is a veritable death trap in ease of a
collision. Secondly had they gotten out
of the cab, tie ears which swept over the
helpless locomotive would have crushed,
them as the cab was entirely torn away.
1t was frequently remarked by the
friends OF the departed Mr.. and Mrs. j. L.
Fredcricks and Mr.. and MIS-. Edward Fox,
how much solid domestic enjoyment both
couples seemed to find in life.
The ladies were Jousina and were with
their husbands a happy pair. Always
active in church matters AID foremost in
charities, yet no amusement at the Acad-
envy was complete without them. They
owned a boat at Tumbling Run. Once a
week during the Summer Ihcy, with
friends, spent a day at the dam. Mr.. and
Mrs. Fox just returned from a trip to
Luray Cave and the Natural Bridge tie
f~orepart of the week. Mr.. Frederieks had
business in Reading on Friday and per-
suaded his wife and Mr.. and Mrs. Fox 10
accompany them say ing they would visit
the Berks County Fair, which they, how
ever, did not find time to do. They were
to return home on the $40 i. NJ. train and
arrived at the depot III time TO make it by
running for it, which the gentlemen de-
clincd TO permit the ladies 10 do. John
Bolieh who was with them, get on tie
departing train, a fact mich no doubt
saved his life.
The oldest citizen of Pottsville cannot
recall any event or accident that las cast
such a gloom over the hole town.
Many went down to the wreck. | did
not. | saw enough, and again it seems to
me that enc encounters through life
enough sadness without borrowing any.
To-day Tuesday 4 special train from
Philada. brought the officials TO attend
the funeral OF Geo, r kaereher. Among
them were Pres. \. a. Mcleod, Pres. of the
c. and |. Co, Geo. deb. Keim and others.
Very sincerely yonrs.
WILMER Turner.
