The excursion { bat was wrecked left
WatertOwn yesterday FOR Chicago in
two sections heavily loaded. The first
section reached Jackson az Sis this
morning and came to a stand still at the
depot in order 20 change engines.
Many passengers aligbted for luncheon
otherwise the list OF casualties would
have been much larger.
While the first section was standing
still the second section came
tearing through the yard at a speed Of
forty or fifty miles an hour. Its speed
vas slackened somewhat when the col
Usion occurred, but the second section
was still running rapidly when it
crashed into the rear end Of the train
ahead.
Itis said that when the second sec
tion entered the yard the engineer,
Whalen, OF this city, shut OffsSteam aud
applied the air brakes which, to his dis
nav, failed 10 work. He then Whistled
twice for brakes but IL was too late.
Jose ph P. Kimberling, the fireman,
Jumped from the cab before the crash
came and escaped unjnjuTed. Whalen re-
NAMED at his post almost until the very
moment OF the collision, and then
iumped. He reversed his engine and
seems 70 have done everything In his
power TO avert the disaster. One Of his
sdkles was broken, and it is feared he
sustained injuries which will cause his
death.
The majority Of the killed and
Injured were in the two rear coaches Of
the first section which are telescOped.
Every passenger 10 these cars was
slther killed or terribly injured.
The third coach from the rear Of the
first section was thrown to one side,
the last two coaches being pushed away
beyond whore it Stood and four
