Survive Their Injuries-The Accident
Caused by the Breaking of the Connect
Ing Rod on the Engine While Running
Down a Steep Grade.
RICHMOND, Ind. Feb. 27 At Hagars-
town, sixteen miles west of here, at $3.50
Wednesday afternoon, the Cincinnati
fast express was wrecked. Four were
killed outright, two fatally and others
badly injured
The train was running down grade,
forty miles per hour, when the engineer
! heard something break, then the con-
Meeting rod gave way, piece of iron
dropped from the engine on the track
and derailed every car.
The engine, however, kept the track,
and the cars remained coupled until the
town was reached and just as the rear
end Of the parlor car passed the short
bridge over the canal at the bottom OF
the hill, the smoker parted from the bag
| gage car and rolled down an embank-
ment fifteen feet, landing on its side.
The ladies car and the parlor car,
turned over twice, landing on their
sides at the foot of the embankment.
The baggage car remained coupled to
the engine, and dragged along for 100
yards, when it struck the guard of the
road crossing and again mounted the
track.
| The four men who comprised the dead
were seated in the smoking apartment
of the Pullman car, the only occupants
of the car save one lady, Mrs. Busin, Of
Sacramento. N
The smoking car was only slightly
damaged by its overturns, but the ladies'
coach and Pullman were completely
wrecked. The windows were all broken
and the sides mashed.

before the dead could be extricated the
cars took fire. A bucket brigade
quenched the blaze and surgeons ar
rived to take care of the injured
