Serious Wreck

CINCINNATI, Oct. ga disastrous co..
lision occurred at 4:45 THE morning on the
Cincinnati Southern Railway In tunnel
quarter of mile north of Sloan'sVslley Sta
tion. The traius were north-bound freight
and soutt-bound passenger. La the most
hopeless place that tsinmen ever met
death, the engines of the two trains dashed
ioto each other, and the cars following am
med into each ether in mass. Then came
the adied harrow of coDfagration. The
fremen, brakeman, en- express messenger
and nail agent were killed. The engineer
of the passenger train and another hard
of the freight train we're badly burned. The
basgagemsste- was injured. No passen-
gers we're killed. If any are Injured the
names have not yet been ascertained. The
burning of the trains in tunnel renders 1t
impossible TO clear the track as readily as 1t
could be doue on open ground. the smoke
AID heat preventing men from entering.
Transfers will ba made until the tunnel can
be cleared. There we're two mall agents Oh

yet known.
TIE Initial cause of the collision was

struck the req. car. causing serious wreck
Young Mr.. Payne, 3 commercial traveller,
had both legs crushed and has since died.
TIE delay to the passenger trains by this
wreck caused the mistake of the engineer
and conductor of thu freight train by which
the tunnel collision occurred. Fortunately
the passenger train had not entirely gone IL
! to the tunnel when the crash came, and 80
the sleepers which did not leave the tracks
served as q m cans OF escape for the pasaeu
gers Thssa sleepers were detached and
drawn away from the burning trair, but the
baggsg, car, mail car and two coaches were
burned. At II o'clock today the heat aud
smoke prevented anything being done to
clear the tunnel. The railroad officials
