eral minutes late leaving the outer station,
owing to the large crowds who were return

express cars which preceded the passenger
coaches hundreds would have been literally
cooked alive.
The crash was heard for great distance
and hundreds of people were soon ut the
scene OF the wreck. Tie accident was caused
by u number of wrecked coal-cars In the way
OF the passenger train.
This first wreck was caused by acollision
between freight and coal train. The coal
train was running ut moderate speed, part
OF her train having torn loose, when sud-
denly freight which followed came thun-
dering around curve, and before the engi-
neer could stop his train II crashed into the
rear OF the coal train and threw u number
OF loaded coal cars across the north-bound
track. The Cannon Ball express was then
due and before the danger signal could he
given 1t came In sight. Engineer John

but without avail, aud when the engine
struck the wrecked coal cars 1t left the
track and carried the cars ms above men,
toned down steep embankment and pre-
cipitated them into the creek thirty feet be-
low. There followed an awful scene.

been removed and several killed were also
taken out.
