NEWCASTLE, Pa, Sept. 25.-On the

work train with fifty men was struck
by a freight train. Cars and engines
were piled up in a shapeless mass Hot
steam and boiling water poured over

For a moment after the collision
there was silence. Then the air was
rent with shrieks of the dying. One Of

tainted with horror.
Several arms and legs were found in
different places, and the hand of an
Italian was found twenty feet away
from the body. The freight engineer,
John Houghton, who had bravely done
his best to stop his engine, was found
wedged in broken, shapeless iron.
The bodies of eight Italian laborers
were taken from the wreck. At least
twenty men were injured, several fatal

gled. Engineer Houghton was the only
American killed.
The exact cause of the disaster is not
known, but it is said that a mistake
