About noon yesterday a serious and

No. IS, in charge OF Engineer Ed. ong,
Fireman Perry Bishop, and Conductor
Dave Robinson, was running over
trestle at that point at a pretty lively
rate. The train was composed of eight
cars, five fiat cars and the others box
cars. There is switch at the mill, and
the engine went of the rails atthe frog.
whether the switch was set wrong, or
what the cause was, cannot even be
conjectured. Five Of the cars, next the
tender, followed. They we're all gon-
dolas. This part Of the train ran over
the ties for a little distance, making a
great deal of noise, and then the rick

The engine broke loose from the
train, andit and the tender tumbled
down the bank top first The cars
were thrown crosswise, partly on and
partly OFF the track.
One Of the valves Of tho boiler was
broken in the fall, and agreas cloud Of
steam escaped.
Engineer ong was seriously injured,
.andft was said last night that he might
die from the wounds he received. Fire.
man Bishop was also badly hurt.
The break in the trestle is very seri-

repair it, andin the meantime the Ter.

The wreck train arrived yes

werk OF clearing up the wreck. The
loss in property will amount to several
thousand dollars, but anything like a
correct estimate cannot begiven.
