\ WHO Is 70 BLAME FOR THE DTsAsTER1
II Is hard TO say who is 10 blame for the
accident. The regular train from Manhattan
Beach had passed through Berlin on its last trip
to Long Island City The crowds had been ~
great at Manhattan Beach all day that an extra
train was put on. When il reached Berlin i,
was blocked. The red signal on the protection
post Of the blocked part of the track should have
been in sight. so as TO prevent any train from
passing the protection rost into the block. TIL,
towerman says that the signal was set blu,
that the engineer of the Rockawav Beach train dis
regarded it and ran his train past the protection
post As far as could be learned only one person
saw the accident happen According to him, tn,
engineer of the Rockaway Beach train is to b,
blamed.
WHAT WILLIAM SMITH SAW
William Srith, of No. IS Linden-st, Brooklyn
was visiting at his brother in-aws house al Berlin
about three hundred feet away TO the east from
the protection post. lie went to bed early bnt
could not sleep. About II O'Clock he arose and sat
at the window He saw the regular Manhattan
Beach train go on toward Long Island City Then
came the extra train, which he said he saw bockeN
and the signals set as they should have been
In short time he saw the train begin u move
Su,ider-y he heard a shrill whistle, aud then tn,
rumble OF a fast-coming train Quick fash
the locomotive crashed into the train in the block
Tic coupling broke between the third and fourth
cars OF the Manhattan Beach train.
The engineer took the en- gine and the three cars
10 Long Island City. What he had left behind hin
was something horrible The big engine Of the
Rockaway train had cut the last of the Man
haitian Beach train in two. II smashed the Other
Tar and threw it its side against tine bank TO The
right The watchmen in lIabermans manufactorS
which is only few fee, awdy from where the dis
aster occurred, ran out upon the track As soon as
they heard the crash, and William Smith ran from
his brother laws house 10 the Berlin is
about two and a half miles from Long Island
City.
DENSE FOG PREVAILED.
Every place in the neighborhood Of Long Islam
City 10 enveoped. with less regn
hrity. with dense fog. which arises from the
marshcs which abound in that region. The fog
WAS unusually dense on Saturday night There
was no light on the tract, or on the scene The
Few men who We're hand looked across 10
the westbound track. There they dimy saw
through the fog an iron monster snor.ipc loud
and through the night came the cries and rho
means OF dying mea and women and ch;l.lrcn
too. There he'd occurred another SLAUGHTER an
