IN A DEATH CRASH.
Eleven Persons Killed by Railroad
Smash.

Eleven Persons Killed by q Railroad
Smash.
A shocking accident occurred last
Thursday night on the Hudson River
Railroad at Hastings, on the Hudson, be.
tween the st. Louis Express and the
Niagara Falls special trains in which II
people were killed and many more hOrri-
bly, injured.
The incidents which led up TO the ter
rible disaster may be summed up as fol-
lows:
Atrain which left the Grand Central De-
pot, New York, at g. 40 on Thursday even
ing was delayed few minutes at Dobbs
Ferry while some trifiing repairs t. the
engine were made. Immediately follow
ing it was the Niagara Falls special, a
fast night train leaving the Grand Cen
trail at 80. made up of a composite car,
two ordinary coaches, and two sleepers,
the last Of which was named the Gibral-
tar.
When this train had got about three
quarters Of a mile beyond Hastings it
was arrested at a sharp curve by the
semaphOre signal set to warn it of the
presence Of the delayed train at Dobbs
Ferry. The Niagara Falls special came
to dead stop and Trainman Herrick was
sent back down the track to signal down
the fast st. Louis express, which left the
Grand Central station at o'clock, and
was thus but half an hour behind the Nj
agara Falls special
1t was dark, cherries night, and a
thick drizzle of rain falling From the
testimony obtainable it seems that Train
man HeTick did not go back the proper
distance, and may have stopped in no.
tel for d. nix and friendly chat. At
all events, he did not flag the St. Louis
express, which went laundering by
Hastings only two minutes behind time,
and hurrying to make it up; and in a
minute more its great engine went rip
ping and grinding through the sleeper
Gibraltar, Of the Niagara Falls express,
carrying death and agonizing bruises to
the % helpless human beings who mo-
ment before had been costly sitting and
chatting in the comfortable car. Holt
day travellers most Of them were, and the
accident seems worse on that account.
The dead were carried to the morgue at
Tarrytown and the wounded TO the hos
pitfalls Of YOnkers. Trainman Herrick
has fed.
The Official list of the dead is as follows:
Mrs. A. y, Baldwin, New York; Thomas
w. Policy, Boston; Abram KuighI; Miss
Libble Van Arsdale, New York. Miss
Mabel Slocum, Lockport, y y; Miss
