two freight trains, coal laden, running
eastward The first train was drawn
by engine ass, and the second one by
engine SIS, in charge Of Engineer Hill
liary When both trains had gotten
about half way up the grade the first
train became detached i'll the center,
and the cars went backward, crashing
into the engine 518. As soon as Hilla-
ry saw the approaching danger he
sprang backwards in the cab, and made
an effort to leap, but the cars struck
his engine before he cleared it, and he
was caught between the engine and
tender. The fireman, T. Ellwood, had
Jumped before the collision, and escap-
ed uninjured. When Hillary was tax
