accident took place on the Lake Shore
road, near here, early this morning.

much property was damaged. The regu-
lar west bound freight train ran into the
rear of freight train standing on the
track. A heavy snowstorm prevailed at
the time and the engineer Of the train
failed to see the fagman who had been
sent out. When he saw the train ahead
it was too late to stop. He reversed his
engine and then he and the fireman
jumped, escaping serious injury. a mo-
ment later the train crashed into the ca
boose standing on the track. The engine
split it open and struck the freight car
ahead.
In another instant there was a deafen-
ing report, almost instantly followed by
another of the same kind. The two ex-
plosions We're almost simultaneous.
Three cars and the caboose were blown
to atoms and the engine was converted to
wreck of bent and twisted iron.
The explosion was caused by powder.
The two cars Immediately in front of the
