When little children, inexperienced

and Northwestern Road.
ALTOONA. Pa, June 1s.--A serious
accident occurred on the Pennsylvania
and Northwestern railroad at point
near Bellwood, which resulted in the
death of three men. A freight train Of
thirty heavily laden coal cars left
Lloydsville, followed by apusher. After
reaching the summit tho train COM
menced to descend the mountain side at
a high rate Of speed. The engineer and
crew applied the brakes, but they failed
to work on account of the slippery con-
dition Of the track, caused by rain. The
runaway train kept on in its mad flight
until speed Of seventy-five miles an
hour was reached. At Roat's trestle,
which is o curve, the engine left the
track followed by twenty-nine cars,
which were piled up and broken into all
shapes.
A hunt for the missing employees was
instituted, when Engineer John Simon
ton was found dead between the sand
box and bell. 1t is supposed that he
climbed out on the engine to work the
sand box. Fireman Millard Frazier and
OouuuCtoI ottphou Won OCOyne were
taken out from under the tender horri-
bly, disfgured- Brakemen Dunn and
Hetrick jumped from the train when at
its highest speed, the former going over
a steep embanlunent and being hurled
q stout fence. His escape from death
was miraculous. He only received a
slight wound. Hetrich was not so for
tunate, and received a number of in
juries, but none of them of a serious
nature. -
