Two limited trains collided with terrific
force on the Central track in Iockport, y. y.
Engine CO., OF the train going east
was telescoped 10y engine I3j OF the
western train. aud they now stand
locked together with their smoke-stacks
nearly touching each other by the
force OF the collision the tender OF the en-
gine OF the cast-bound train was forced
back over half It, length into Wagner buf-
fet ear 420, and the baggageman, w. A. Fled
Ter, OF New York City. was instantly killed.
The tender OF engine 13j was also driven in
like manner into buffet car 40. The en-
glneer OF this engine, Edison Bradley,of SYRIA
cusc, sustained a compound fracture OF both
legs. and the fireman, William Houston,
also OF Syracuse, received bad iesh-wound
on one thigh aud severe cuts on the head.
No other injuries OF any amount were re-
ported, although the passengers OF both
trains were badly shocked by the force OF
the collision.
As these trains do not stop at Lockport
the passengers were only saved by the square
Interlocklng OF tile engines. Had the col
llsion occurred but two or three rods 10 the
east one train would have cut the other In
two and the loss Of life would have been APP
palling.
