dren Among the Unfortunates.
TOLEDO, O., Nov. 2S-The Lake Shore
road was the scene of a serious run-in acci-
dent this evening on the Boston and Chicago
special going east, which left Chicago at
1880 a. m. In the edge of the city the road
runs under the Miami and Erie canal,
through tunnel some seventy-fve feet
long. Some 2S0 yards east of the tunnel is
target. A Lake Shore train passed
through the tunnel, but not getting sigual
at the target to come ahead put on brakes
and Stacked up.
THE ACCIDENT.
The south-bound express on the Flint and
Pere Marquette road, which goes over the
Lake Shore tracks to the union depot, came
through the tunnel Immediately after the
Lake Shore train and plunged into the rear
coach. The Lake Shore train was vesti-
ouled, but an ordinary coach for the
accommodation of way passengers was
attached at the rear, and it was
this which suffered. The Flint and Pere
Marquette engine plowed its way through
the car until the pilot was more than mid
way of the coach. The seats and floor were
turned up, and the unfortunate passengers,
bruised and MANNED, were badly scalded by
escaping steam from the broken pipes.
A SEVERED HAND.
The severed hand of a laboring man.
probably as brakeman, was found In the
wrecked car, but 80 far the injured man has
not been discovered. 1t Is possible that his
body may be found in the wreck. The car
entirely envelops the engine as far as the
cab, the two being wedged closely together.
The Lake Shore train, as soon as 1t vas
stopped by the target. sent back a brake
man. He ran about fifty feet to the mouth
of the tunnel and waved his lantern across
the track. The tunnel was full of smoke
but the engineer of the Flint and Pere Mar
quette train, which was already in the tun-
mel, saw the signal and also the rear lights
Of the doomed car. He shut off steam and
he and his fireman threw themselves fat on
the floor of the cab so as to be protected by
the boiler. Both escaped unhurt except
severe shaking up.
