Slcepi Z Car Crushed.
KENT, o., Sept. 10 "A rear end coll
Iision occurred on the Pittsburgh and
Western division Of the Baltimore and
Ohio railway, at this place, at an early
hour Sunday morning, resulting in the
injury Of eight people, none of them,
however, being fatally. The T. & O.
has been carrying all of It's Washington
passengers from western points via this
division, and all day Saturday and sun
day large trains crowded with ex.
cursionists bound for Washington City
have been whirling around the endless
number of curves for which the p. Il
w. is noted
Sunday morning the first section OF
the train carrying the 6. A. X. people
from Nebraska came in and was held
by the operator to await orders from
the dispatcher at Allegheny, but in
stead of orders came the message to 90
ahead. Operator Livett gave the orders
to Conductor Crooks, but when Engi.
neer Strike attempted to start his train.
having called in his flagman, the air re-
fused to work, and there was some de-
lay in getting start. Flagman Hardin
had come in and was standing at the
rear end of the train. Suddenly he
saw through the fog the headlight and
heard the whistle of the train that was
following.
He rushed back and had gone twenty
car lengths when he met the train
coming at a rate Of fully twenty-five
miles an hour. Engineer Sippy saw
the signal from the flagman and at the
same time saw the rear end of the train
ahead extending around the curve at
the depot. He did his best to stop and
had gotten the train down to a speed of
five miles an hour when it crashed into
the rear sleeper of the train ahead.
The crash was a fearful one and de-
molished the end Of the sleeper and the
front of the engine and drove the
sleeper into the one ahead of it. b.. q.
In the meantime some exciting scenes
were being enacted on the train stand
five sleepers, one chair car and two
day coaches, the chair car being occu-
pied by delegation from Iowa City,
la, The remainder of the excursion
lists were from Omaha, Lincoln, Hast
ings, Pawnie City and other points in
Eastern Nebraska. Many of the people
had just gotten up, and were arranging
their toilet, Others We're up and out
on the depot platform, and some were
yet asleep. The persons on the outside
saw the approaching train, and spread
the warning: Jump for your lives. "
The people came rolling out, many
smashing the glass and jumping from
the windows, and none too soon did
they get off. When the crash came the
people on both trains were knocked
! down, falling over seats and being scat
tered about in general promiscuous
ness. Dozens sustained bruises in fall
ing over seats.
